Re: system recovery hp?

HP has a recovery partition on drive D (usually). You are given a notice
that you can create recovery disks when you first turn on the computer after
purchase. Did you do so? If not, the option still resides within the
dedicated HP folders in startup/All Programs.

When you create these recovery DVD's (it takes about 3 DVD's) you are
actually copying the information from Drive D to the DVD's. You can only do
this one time (ask HP why they do not allow multiple sets to be created)!

If you have not deleted/corrupted Drive D you can perform a recovery by
pressing F11 when instructed during the initial boot process.
