Using the HP Recovery partition (select models only)
The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows you to perform a system recovery or minimized image
recovery without the need for recovery discs or a recovery USB flash drive. This type of recovery can be used
only if the hard drive is still working.
To start HP Recovery Manager from the HP Recovery partition:
1. From the Start screen, type recovery, select Recovery Manager, and then select HP Recovery
Environment
.
2. Select Troubleshoot from the boot options menu.
3. Select Recovery Manager, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Using HP Recovery media to recover
You can use HP Recovery media to recover the original system. This method can be used if your system does
not have an HP Recovery partition or if the hard drive is not working properly.
1. If possible, back up all personal files.
2. Insert the HP Recovery media that you created, and then restart the computer.
NOTE: If the computer does not automatically restart in HP Recovery Manager, change the computer
boot order. See Changing the computer boot order on page 75.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Changing the computer boot order
If the computer does not restart in HP Recovery Manager, you can change the computer boot order, which is
the order of devices where the computer searches for startup information. You can specify that an optical
drive or a USB flash drive should be checked first.
To change the boot order:
1. Insert the HP Recovery media you created.
2. Restart the computer, quickly press esc, and then press f9 for boot options.
3. Select the optical drive or USB flash drive you want to boot from.
