HP EliteBook 2570p User Manual

USB Recovery option (select models only)
The USB Recovery Disk On Key (flash drive) option allows you to create a backup image of the SLED
operating system installed on select HP Business Notebooks. This Disk On Key may be used to restore
the system to the original factory state when the F11 recovery option is not available. This process
should be done on first obtaining the computer.
CAUTION: The USB recovery option does not preserve data present on the computer’s hard drive or
on the Disk On Key used for the recovery process. Back up any data on the Disk on Key or the
notebook that will be recovered before starting.
NOTE: HP recommends that you create the USB Recovery Disk in the event of a system failure. The
Disk On Key used for this process should be 4 GB or larger.
