2. Restart the computer, quickly press esc, and then press f9 for boot options.

Removing the HP Recovery partition
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to remove the HP Recovery partition to free up hard drive space.

Windows Remove everything and reinstall Windows option, or the HP Recovery Manager option for
minimized image recovery. Create HP Recovery media before removing the Recovery partition to ensure you
have recovery options; see
Creating HP Recovery media on page 84.
Follow these steps to remove the HP Recovery partition:
