Hewlett Packard has made it convenient to recovery your original factory settings. We recommend you follow the instructions below if trying to recover with the disks that came with your PC when you first opened the package.

If your HP computer did NOT come with disks, it’s quite possible the recovery files are on a hidden partition on the drive. In this case, you should follow the START menu to restore your PC to factory condition.

As always, if you do not find what you’re looking for, visit our message boards.
