Ok possibly a crazy question. lol I am a fan of HP computers but this time when I bought a HP there was no recovery disk. Where do I get one?

Zoey:

The HP MX703 is a 17" monitor. Please tell us the model of your computer (get it from the main computer case). Thanks.

Roger

doh! lol its a pavillion a405n
They are now telling me I have to make my own recovery disk! Whats up with that? What will I do if my self made recovery disk does not work when needed? I don't like this HP! Although my new HP is nice I may have to find a new brand of computer to buy. I hate to say that because I am a huge hp fan but I think paying 950 dollars before rebate should entitle me to a professionally made recovery disk. you know one I can rely on.

Hi Zoey,

If you go to this link you will find chapter and verse on creating your own disks.

http://h20015.www2.hp.com/hub_search/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=bph08097

They will be just as good as the HP disks.

BTW - I have heard that if you restore your system to an earlier date than the one you created the first set you can repeat the process again.

Best regards
Charles

Hi Zoey

I would mention that in exceptional circumstances you could get a HP recovery set. The policy and reasons for non-availability of the recovery disks is covered in the following link:

http://h20015.www2.hp.com/hub_search/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=buh07342

If your only concern is the disks then I would hold on to your computer. Your disks will be OK.

You may not be aware that there is a Pavilion forum. The link is as follows:
