Creating recovery discs

After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory image. The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure. NOTE: Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs. Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs: Use any of the following types of discs: CD-R, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, or DVD-R DL (purchased separately). The discs you use will depend on the type of optical drive installed in your computer. Because DVDs store more information than CDs, DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support reduce the number of discs required. NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW, are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software. The computer must be connected to AC power during this process. Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
Number each disc before inserting it into the computer optical drive. If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.
To create a set of recovery discs: 1. Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager. Recovery Manager opens. 2. Click Advanced Options. NOTE: If you are operating the computer on battery power, you will be prompted to connect to AC power before you can go to the next step. 3. 4. Click Recovery disc creation, and then click Next. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Backing up your information

When to back up

On a regularly scheduled basis NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically. Before the computer is repaired or restored Before you add or modify hardware or software

Backup suggestions

Create a set of recovery discs using Recovery Manager. Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy them to disc. Store personal files in the Documents folder and back up these folders periodically. Back up templates stored in their associated programs. Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings. The screen shot can be a time saver if you have to reset your preferences. To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document, follow these steps: a. b. Display the screen. Copy the screen: To copy only the active window, press alt+fn+prt sc. To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc. c. Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.
100 Chapter 8 Backup and recovery
Using system restore points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system. NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since the last restore point. You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and settings.
When to create restore points
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally NOTE: If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
Create a system restore point
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System. In the left pane, click System protection. Click the System Protection tab. Under Automatic restore points, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point. Click Create. The System Protection window opens. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Restore to a previous date and time
To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time), when the computer was functioning optimally, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System. In the left pane, click System protection. Click the System Protection tab. Click the System Restore button, and then click Next. The System Restore window opens. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Recovering system information 101

Performing a recovery

NOTE: You can only recover files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your computer. Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive. NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore and driver rollback capabilities. If you have not already tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager. NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer.

NOTE: The procedures provided in this appendix are general disassembly instructions. Specific details, such as screw sizes, quantities, and locations, and component shapes and sizes, can vary from one computer model to another.
