what if one cannot access the recovery console or if the hard disk drive has crashed and you need to replace the drive with a new one. On hps 2530 and 6530, the console does not give you and option for creating recovery discs unlike on older systems. On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 8:48 AM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
I'm not sure but I think someone on this listed has posted a thread about having gotten a laptop and was missing the option of creating the recovery dvds. Normally vendors provide this software so that you can image you complete HDD. I discovered is that machines running Win7 Pro do not need the vendor recovery software because Win7 Pro has a built in system image facility that does a full image of the entire HDD. Pls do not confuse this with backup or restore, system image is a full image of your HDD.
I had an HP Compaq Laptop 610 query about 2 days ago and someone had the same problem. It makes sense that HP would not ship the recovery manager software because Win7pro already does it for you.
Hope this helps. :-)
