Backup and recovery
Create recovery discs (recommended)
After setting up the computer for the first time, you can create a
set of recovery discs of your full factory image using HP Backup
and Recovery Manager. The recovery discs are used to start up
(boot) the computer and restore the operating system and
software programs to factory settings in case of system failure or
instability.
Ä
CAUTION: After you create the recovery discs, you can increase the �
amount of space on the hard drive by deleting the recovery partition. �
However, doing this is not recommended. If you delete this partition, �
you will lose any information that is on the partition.�
✎
Only one set of recovery discs can be created for this computer.
Before creating recovery discs:
■� Connect the computer to an optional external MultiBay
device with an optical drive.
■� Use high-quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media.
(purchase separately)
✎
DVD±RW/R and double-layer DVD±RW are not
compatible with the HP Backup and Recovery Manager
software.
■� Number each disc before inserting it into the external
MultiBay device optical drive.
■� If necessary, you can exit the program before you have
finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you
open the program, you will be prompted to continue the
disc creation process where you left off.
