People keep losing them, and when they need them, have no way of performing a recovery. HP has taken to putting a hidden partition containing the recovery files onto the hard disk, It is accessed by pressing F10 (might be a different key in your locale, but is F10 in USA) when the HP startup screen is displayed. This starts up the recovery process.
>John Mullan So they ARE putting the recovery files on Drive D! That's a kick. And a big waste of space as far as I am concerned. Unless one can burn those files to CD then remove them. But different strokes for different folks. Marnie aka Doe Learn something new every day.
