SUSE Linux Recovery
Use the instructions in this section if SUSE Linux SLED 11 is installed on your computer.
To protect your information, back up your files and folders. Then if the system fails, you can restore your
important files from copies. You can also use the options listed in this section to restore the operating
system and programs that were installed at the factory.
CAUTION: Using f11 completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All files you
have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The f11 recovery
tool reinstalls the original operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at the
factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed by HP must be manually reinstalled. Personal files
must be restored from a backup.
To recover the original hard drive image using f11, follow these steps:
1. If possible, back up all personal files.
2. Restart the computer, and then press f11 while the “Press <F11> for recovery” message is
displayed on the screen.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
