Recovery media creation

If you launch either the ISO creation or media burning process, HP Backup and Recovery remembers where you left off:

●Even if you try to switch between creating ISO files and burning media.

●Even if you let the ISO creation process complete and you restart it again, you see the following:

You cannot reset HP Backup and Recovery Manager so it will let you restart the recovery media creation process. Contact Post-Sales support if you want to change to a different media type after you have launched the process.

Removing the Recovery Partition

The Recovery Partition contains a record of all software installed at the factory and shipped with a system, including the ISO images for the operating system, HP Restore Plus!, and other supplemental and recovery products. HP Backup and Recovery Manager uses this record to recover the system hard drive. Removing the Recovery Partition destroys this record.

NOTE: ISO images are not available on Portables unless you create them.

On some computers with small hard drives, the Recovery Partition may consume much needed hard drive space. Because of this, you can remove the Recovery Partition. However, before doing so you should run the Recovery Media Creator to create a disc backup of the software on the Recovery Partition, including all ISO images.
