Recovering using HP Recovery Manager
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to recover the computer to its original factory state by
using the HP Recovery media that you created or by using the HP Recovery partition (select models
only). If you have not already created recovery media, see
Creating HP Recovery media on page 65

Using HP Recovery media, you can choose from one of the following recovery options:
●
System Recovery—Reinstalls the original operating system, and then configures the settings for
the programs that were installed at the factory.
●
Minimized Image Recovery (select models only)—Reinstalls the operating system and all
hardware-related drivers and software, but not other software applications.
●
Factory Reset—Restores the computer to its original factory state by deleting all information
from the hard drive and re-creating the partitions. Then it reinstalls the operating system and the
software that was installed at the factory.
The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows System Recovery and Minimized Image
