HP dv6 ユーザーズマニュアル

Recovery after a system failure is as complete as the most current backup. HP recommends creating

recovery discs immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, continue to

back up the system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.

Tools provided by the operating system and HP Recovery Manager software are designed to help you

with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:

●

Creating a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager software feature)—Recovery discs are used to

start up (boot) the computer and restore the operating system and software programs to factory

settings in case of system failure or instability.

●

Backing up your information regularly to protect your important system files.

●

Creating system restore points (operating system feature)—System restore points reverse

undesirable changes to the computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state.

●

Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature)—This feature helps you

reinstall a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.

●

Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager software feature)—Recovery Manager

recovers the full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery Manager

works from a dedicated recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive or from recovery

discs you create.

Computers with an SSD might not have a recovery partition. If the computer does not

have a recovery partition, you are not able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs are

included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover the operating

system and software. To check for the presence of a recovery partition, select Start >

Computer. If the partition is present, an HP recovery drive is listed in the Hard Disk Drives

section of the window.

HP recommends creating recovery discs so that the system can be restored to its original factory state if

you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the computer for

the first time.

Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software creates only one set of

recovery discs.

If the computer does not include an internal optical drive, use an optional external optical

drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or purchase recovery discs from the HP Web site.
