Making Recovery CDs

In the unlikely event that there is damage to the hard disk drive or it needs replacing, you must use recovery CDs to reinstall the operating system and software. Make the recovery CDs for your PC now, before a need occurs; refer to “Using HP Recovery CD Creator” on page 95. This program assembles the necessary files and writes the information to CDs.

Getting Help

See the Support Guide included with the PC documentation for the terms of your PC warranty coverage and for support telephone numbers.

Protecting the PC

HP provides a virus-scanning software program to help protect your PC (select models only).

The virus-scanning program manufacturer provides free virus scan updates through your Internet connection for an initial period after your PC purchase. You can purchase a subscription service for updates after the initial free period expires.

New types of viruses are invented all the

time. Get regular updates of your virus-scanning software from the program manufacturer.

If a software program or the operating system gets damaged, reinstall the software. Refer to “Using Application Recovery and System Recovery” on page 91 for details.
