Performing a system restore

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory
state. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs or from a dedicated recovery partition on the
hard drive.
NOTE: A system restore needs to be performed if the computer hard drive has failed or if all
attempts to correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final
attempt to correct computer issues.
Note the following when performing a system recovery:

You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive as soon as you
set up the computer.

tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager.
