used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the

original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory and then congures the

settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or restore the

factory image if you replace the hard drive.

–

Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them

in a safe place.

–

HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for the

media that will be required.

–

To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and

you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use

rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs;

they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or, instead, you can use a high-quality

blank USB

ash drive.

–

If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you

would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased separately)

to create recovery discs. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB

port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an external device, such as a

USB hub. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain recovery discs for your computer

from HP. You can nd contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/support,

select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.

–

Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media.

–

The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.

–

If necessary, you can exit the program before you have nished creating all of the recovery DVDs. HP

Recovery Manager will nish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery Manager,

you will be prompted to continue.
