Performing a system restore

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state.

HP Recovery Manager works from recovery discs or a recovery flash drive, or from a dedicated recovery

partition (select models only) on the hard drive.

NOTE: A system restore needs to be performed if the computer hard drive has failed or if all attempts

to correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final attempt to

correct computer issues.

Note the following when performing a system restore:

●

You can restore only the system that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you

use HP Recovery Manager to create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive as soon

as you set up the computer.

●

Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already tried

these features, try them before using HP Recovery Manager.

●

HP Recovery Manager restores only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not

provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled

from the disc provided by the manufacturer.

Restoring using the dedicated recovery partition (select models only)

When using the dedicated recovery partition, there is an option to back up pictures, music and other

audio, videos and movies, recorded TV shows, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, e-mails,

and Internet favorites and settings during this process.

To restore the computer from the recovery partition, follow these steps:

1. Access HP Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:

●

Select Start > All Programs > HP > HP Recovery Manager > HP Recovery Manager.

Menu” message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Then, press f11 while the “F11

(System Recovery)” message is displayed on the screen.

2. Click System Recovery in the HP Recovery Manager window.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Restoring using the restore media

1. If possible, back up all personal files.

2. Insert the first recovery disc into the optical drive on your computer or an optional external optical

drive, and then restart the computer.

Insert the recovery flash drive into a USB port on your computer, and then restart the computer.

NOTE: If the computer does not automatically restart in HP Recovery Manager, the computer

boot order needs to be changed.
