Reinstalling and Updating Software
You can use the Recovery CD to recover the original software build for your computer.
The Recovery CD also provides Windows drivers specific to your computer to configure
a custom system. You can find drivers in these locations:
  On your computer’s hard drive under C:\hp\Drivers.
  On the Recovery CD under \hp\Drivers.
  On the HP Customer Care Web site (www.hp.com/go/support). This Web site
contains the latest updates of software drivers for different operating systems.
To recover the factory installation of your hard disk
You can use the Recovery CD to reinstall the original factory software on your
computer’s hard disk. You can also use the same process to create a larger Utility
partition on your hard disk, or to create a Utility partition on a new hard disk. The hidden
Utility partition contains the e-DiagTools diagnostic tests and stores hibernation data for
Windows 98 and other operating systems that don’t provide hibernation.
