HP mini-note 2133 2140 Manuale Di Servizio

DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support store more information than CDs, so

using them for backup reduces the number of recovery discs required.

●

When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into the optional external optical
drive.

To create a backup using Backup and Restore Center, follow these steps:

Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.

The backup process may take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the

computer.

Click Start, click All Programs, click Maintenance, and then click Backup and Restore Center.

Follow the on-screen instructions to back up your entire computer (select models only) or your files.

In case of system failure, use the 

f11

 recovery tool to recover your original hard drive image.

The image includes the Windows operating system and software programs installed at the

factory.

Using 

f11

 completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All files you

have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The 

f11

 recovery

tool reinstalls the operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at the factory.
Software not installed at the factory must be reinstalled. Personal files must be restored from a backup.

If possible, back up all personal files.

If possible, check for the presence of the HP Recovery partition. To find the partition, click Start,
and then click Computer.

If the HP Recovery partition has been deleted, you will need to recover your operating

system and programs using the Windows Vista Operating System and the Driver Recovery discs
(purchased separately). For additional information, contact technical support.

Turn on or restart the computer, and then press 

esc

 while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu”

message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Press 

f11

 while the “Press <F11> for recovery” message is displayed on the screen.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Windows Vista provides additional recovery tools through the operating system. For additional

information, go to Help and Support.

If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer, you must purchase a Windows Vista

Operating System DVD to reboot the computer and repair the operating system. For additional
information, contact technical support.
