Recovering using the partition on the hard drive (select models only)
On some models, you can perform a recovery from the partition on the hard drive, which is accessed
by pressing either the Start button or f11. This restores the computer to its factory condition.
NOTE: This method of recovery is also an HP Recovery Manager solution.
NOTE: Computers with an SSD may not have a recovery partition. If the computer does not have a
recovery partition, you will not be able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs have been
included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover your operating system
and software.
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:
1. Access Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:
●
Click Start, click All Programs, click Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery
Manager.
– or –
a. Turn on or restart the computer.

NOTE: It may take several minutes for Recovery Manager to load.
2. Click Yes when prompted.
3. In the Recovery Manager window, click System Recovery.
