System Recovery
If you need to restore the original software on your PC, Compaq has
provided a convenient solution right on your hard drive.
We call this part of your hard drive the “recovery partition.” The recovery
partition takes up some space on your hard drive.
• No more hunting for lost CDs
• Easy to use — simple one-button launch — no need to wait by the PC
loading CDs
• Get up and running faster — your PC can recover the information
directly from the hard drive more quickly
If you want a set of recovery CDs, you can create them from this recovery
partition using the Recovery CD/DVD Creator application (select models
only).
See the chapter “Using Application Recovery and System Recovery” for
complete instructions.
