HP EliteBook 8570p Getting Started

CAUTION: Using Startup Repair completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard
drive. All files you have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently
removed. When reformatting is complete, the recovery process restores the operating system, as well
as the drivers, software, and utilities from the backup used for recovery.
1. If possible, back up all personal files.
2. If possible, check for the presence of the Windows partition and the HP Recovery partition.
To check for the Windows partition, select Start > Computer.
To check for the HP Recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and
then click Disk Management.
NOTE: If the HP Recovery partition has been deleted, the f11 restore option will not function.
You must recover your operating system and programs using the Windows 7 operating system
DVD and the Driver Recovery disc (both purchased separately) if the Windows partition and the
HP Recovery partition are not listed. For additional information, see
Using a Windows 7
operating system DVD (purchased separately) on page 50.
