Creating HP Recovery media (select models only)
IMPORTANT:
If your computer does not list a Recovery Media Creation option, you can obtain recovery
media for your system from support. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included
with the computer. You can also find contact information from the HP website. Go to

, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.
HP Recovery Manager is a software program that allows you to create recovery media after you successfully
set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes
corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the software programs installed
at the factory and then configures the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to
customize the system or restore the factory image if you replace the hard drive.
●
Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in
a safe place.
●
HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity
for the media that will be required.
●
To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and you
must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable
discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not
compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or, instead, you can use a high-quality blank USB
flash drive.
●
If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you would
like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased separately) to
create recovery discs, or you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from support.
See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer. You can also find contact
information from the HP website. Go to
http://www.hp.com/support
, select your country or region,
and follow the on-screen instructions. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly
to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an external device, such
as a USB hub.
●
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media.
●
The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.
●
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery DVDs.
HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery Manager,
you will be prompted to continue, and the remaining discs will be burned.
