Performing a recovery in Windows Vista
NOTE: You can only recover files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Backup & Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your computer.
HP Backup & Recovery Manager helps you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information
and restoring it in case of a system failure:
●
Recovering important files—This feature helps you reinstall important files without performing a full
system recovery.
●
Performing a full system recovery—With HP Backup & Recovery Manager, you can recover your full
factory image if you experience system failure or instability. HP Backup & Recovery Manager works
from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive or from recovery discs you create.
