The System Recovery program uses a special
recovery partition
on the hard disk that stores
an image of the original software. This makes
recovery convenient, without the need to have
or use a System Recovery CD.
Note:
The system recovery image is in a partition area
of the hard drive; this disk space is not available
for your use.
In the unlikely event that you replace the hard
drive, or somehow damage the data in the
special recovery partition on the hard drive,
you must contact HP Support for help.
To contact HP Support, see the
Support Guide
,
included in the computer documentation, for
the HP Customer Care telephone number.
