HP 743a (AP), 703k (AP), 753k (AP), 753d (AP), 522a (AP), 503k (AP) manual To start System Recovery

The System Recovery program uses a special recovery partition on the hard disk that stores an image of the original software. This makes recovery convenient, without the need to have or use a System Recovery CD.

Note: 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 contact HP Support for help.

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