This document pertains to recovery discs for HP and Compaq desktop PCs.
This document provides information about obtaining recovery discs.
note:HP can not produce recovery discs containing Microsoft software that is considered obsolete by Microsoft, such as Windows 3.1 and 95.
note:HP Pavilions that ship with Windows XP do not always come with recovery CDs. Instead, they use a hidden space (partition) on the hard drive to store the recovery information. Using a hidden partition provides a convenient, more stable recovery process.
