HP Recovery Partition Removal Wizard
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager contains an application for removing the
Recovery Partition, should that be desired or necessary.
Why HP Recommends Users Preserve the Recovery Partition
The Recovery Partition contains a record of all software installed at the factory
and shipped with this system, including the ISO images for the Microsoft
Operating System, HP Restore Plus! and other supplemental and recovery
products, as appropriate. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager uses this
record to recover the system hard drive. Removing the Recovery Partition
destroys this record.
If necessary, the Recovery Partition may be removed. Before doing so, however,
the Recovery Media Creator should be run to create a disc backup of the
software on the Recovery Partition, including all ISO images.
Why Some Users May Desire to Remove the Recovery Partition
On some computers with small hard drives, the Recovery Partition may consume
much needed hard drive space. While HP does not recommend removing the
Recovery Partition, it is possible to remove this partition. Always create a
Recovery Disc Set before removing the Recovery Partition.
How to Remove the Recovery Partition
To remove the Recovery Partition:
1.
On the Windows Start Menu, select the Remove HP Recovery Partition from
the HP Backup and Recovery folder.
2. Follow the wizard.
