Making Recovery

CDs or DVD

In the unlikely event that there is damage to the hard disk drive or it needs replacing, you must use recovery CDs/DVDs to reinstall the operating system and factory-installed software. Make the recovery CDs/DVDs for your PC now, before a need occurs; refer to “Using

HP PC Recovery CD-DVD Creator” on page 98. This program assembles the necessary files and writes the information onto CDs/DVDs.

You can also make the Recovery Tools CD. This CD contains utilities that allow you to make changes to your hard disk drive; see “Using HP Recovery Tools CD” on page 99.
