| | On all HP computers with pre-installed Windows, you can find a recovery tool in Start Menu. Not on my HP's now, can't remember exactly what's the name of the tool, but check Start Menu for HP > recovery or something similar. Launch the tool, it allows you to burn the recovery DVD set, 2 to 5 DVD's depending on your model. Kari |
