Recovering using HP Recovery Manager

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to recover the computer to its original factory state. Using
the HP Recovery media you created, you can do a Factory Reset. This restores the computer to the
state it originally came in from the factory. All hard drive information is wiped out and the partitions
are re-created.

The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows Minimized Image Recovery.

What you need to know

HP Recovery Manager recovers only software that was installed at the factory. For software not
provided with this computer, you must either download the software from the manufacturer's
website or reinstall the software from the media provided by the manufacturer.

Recovery through HP Recovery Manager should be used as a final attempt to correct computer
issues.

HP Recovery media must be used if the computer hard drive fails or if all attempts to correct any
functional computer issues fail.

If the HP Recovery media do not work, you can obtain recovery media for your system from the
HP website. For U.S. support, go to
