Recovery System and Hard Drive Space
HP Pavilion home PCs with Windows XP feature a
“recovery” partition included on the hard drive, thus
eliminating the need for recovery CDs that may get lost or
damaged. The recovery process from the hard drive (either
application or operating system) offers the following
advantages:
Selective: Ensures that the recovery data is matched to
the particular HP Pavilion home PC model. You can easily
recover only the application or system software you need.
Non-destructive: By recovering only the software you
need, you preserve user data and files.
Fast: Recovering only the necessary software
components, the recovery process is shorter and faster
from the hard drive.
Instructions for using system recovery and application
recovery are in your
Quick Start Guide ; refer to the
section “Using Application Recovery and System
Recovery.” For information on viewing the space used by
the recovery partition on the hard drive, as well as steps
for deleting undesired software titles, refer to the section
“Freeing Up Space on Your Hard Disk Drive.”
In the event of a warranty hard drive failure, standard
warranty terms apply: a new “imaged” hard drive or
replacement PC that includes the Windows XP operating
system and the recovery partition, as well as all
pre-loaded software programs.
