HP 6000T, 6000Z manual To Start System Recovery If the Computer Is Responding, Choose All Programs

Using Application Recovery and System Recovery

The System Recovery program uses a special recovery partition on the hard disk to store an image of the original software.

The system recovery image is in a partition area of the hard drive; this disk space is not available for your use.

In the unlikely event that you replace the hard drive or somehow damage the data in the special recovery partition on the hard drive, you must use recovery CDs to reinstall the operating system and software to the hard disk drive. See “System Recovery Using Recovery CDs” on page 6–9.

Make your own recovery CDs before you need them; see “Using Compaq Recovery CD Creator” on page 6–7. If you do not have recovery CDs when you need them, you must contact Compaq Support for help.

To contact Compaq Support, see the Warranty and Support Guide, included in the computer documentation, for the Compaq Customer Care telephone number.
