Re: Need assistance to save the HP factory partition

Immortal - The option to press F11 for recovery is a modification made to
the MBR (Master Boot Record) at the time the recovery partition was
created - installation of the Business version removed the modification.
However there is a viable option - HP provides an utility to copy the
reovery partition to removeable media (CD/DVD) and to remove the recovery
partition by extending the Primary/Active partition.

Immortal - If the poster had pressed F11 at the first sign of trouble he or
she would not have posted to this group.
