contact information, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer.

CAUTION: Using a Windows Vista operating system DVD 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 helps you restore the

operating system, as well as drivers, software, and utilities.

To initiate recovery using a Windows Vista operating system DVD, follow these steps:

NOTE: This process takes several minutes.

1. If possible, back up all personal files.

2. Restart the computer, and then insert the Windows Vista operating system DVD into the optical

drive before the Windows operating system loads.

3. When prompted, press any keyboard key.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. Click Next.

6. Select Repair your computer.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Recovering information

NOTE: For detailed instructions, perform a search for these topics in Help and Support.

NOTE: In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and

save them for later use.

Backing up your information

Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create your

initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should

continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.

You can back up individual files or folders to an optional external hard drive or to a network drive.
