Restore and Recovery
Use the Restore and Recovery programs to repair your software.
Recovery System
The recovery process from the hard drive (either application or operating system) offers the following advantages:
■Selective: Ensures that the recovery data is matched to the particular PC model. You can easily recover only the application or system software you need.
■Nondestructive: By recovering only the software you need, you preserve user data and files.
■Fast: Recovering only the necessary software components, the recovery process is shorter and faster from the hard drive.
Recovery CDs
HP PCs with Windows XP feature a recovery partition included on the hard disk drive, thus eliminating the need for recovery CDs that may get lost or damaged.
