A summary of your recovery point settings is displayed.

Recovering the system

HP Backup and Recovery Manager analyzes the hard drive and creates a dedicated hard drive recovery partition on the hard drive large enough to store a copy of the full factory image. You can choose whether you want to store that copy on the recovery partition, on another drive, or on external recovery discs.

Before using HP Backup and Recovery Manager, try repairing the system by running Microsoft Windows System Restore. For more information, select Start > Help and Support, and then search for “System Restore.”
