Performing a system recovery
Recovery allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You can create an
HP factory image restore DVD using a DVD±RW optical drive. You can also restore the computer to
its factory condition from the HP dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive.
CAUTION: Using Recovery 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. The
recovery tool reinstalls the original operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed
at the factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed by HP must be manually reinstalled.
Personal files must be restored from a backup.
To restore the computer using the HP factory image restore DVD, you must first create the recovery
disc. To create the recovery disc:
NOTE: HP recommends that you create the HP factory image restore DVD in the event of a system
failure.
1. Select Computer > More Applications.
2. In the left pane, click Tools, and then click Create HP Factory Image Restore DVD in the right
pane.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to create an image file to burn a recovery disc.
To restore the computer from the partition, follow these steps:
1. If possible, back up all personal files.
2. Insert the HP Factory Image Restore DVD into the external optical drive and restart the
computer.
3. As the computer is restarting, press f9 to open the Computer Setup boot option menu.
4. Select the Notebook Upgrade Bay option.
5. Using the arrow keys, select Yes when prompted: Do you want to start the System-Restore?
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: You can also restore the computer from the partition by restarting the computer, and then
pressing the f11 key.
If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer from the hard drive partition with the primary
operating system or from the recovery partition, and you did not create a system recovery disc, you
must purchase a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Operating System DVD to reinstall the operating
system. For additional information, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet.
