Windows 7
Your computer includes HP and Windows tools to help you safeguard your information and retrieve it if
you ever need to. These tools will help you return your computer to a proper working state, all with
simple steps. This section provides information about the following processes:

Creating recovery media and backups

Creating recovery media and backups
Recovery after a system failure is only as good as your most recent backup.
1.
After you successfully set up the computer, create HP Recovery media. This step creates a
Windows 7 operating system DVD and a
Driver Recovery
DVD. The Windows DVD can be used
to reinstall the original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been
replaced. The
Driver Recovery
DVD installs specific drivers and applications. See
