Recovery CD(s)

The HP Pavilion Recovery CD(s) are provided in case you accidentally lose system files or software that came with your computer. The CD(s) contain a copy of the software originally installed on your system and can be used only on an HP Pavilion PC. There are two ways to use the CD(s):

◆You can restore the software that came with your system without reformatting the hard disk.

◆You can reformat the hard disk and then restore all original software. Only reformat as a last resort because reformatting destroys system files and all your data. In addition, all programs you bought and installed will have to be reinstalled.

Warning: Reformatting the hard disk removes all information on the hard disk. If you reformat, you lose all installed software and files created since you bought your computer. You must reinstall software not originally on the computer.
