CAUTION:
Using Startup Repair 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. When reformatting is complete, the recovery process
restores the operating system, as well as the drivers, software, and utilities from the backup used for recovery.

2. If possible, check for the presence of the Windows partition and the HP Recovery partition. To find the
partitions, select Start > Computer.

If the Windows partition and the HP Recovery partition have been deleted, you must recover your
operating system and programs using the Windows Vista operating system DVD and the Driver
Recovery disc (both purchased separately). For additional information, refer to the “Using a Windows
Vista operating system DVD (purchased separately)” section in this chapter.
