They access and make use of this setup partition.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Bob Tue, 08 Feb 2005 03:16:50 GMT B.

I wanted to re-install an OS. User did not have original CDs, if there were any. I noticed a recovery partition on the HD. I just need to know how to start this recovery. Is it an image? <BR />Thanks if you can shed some light on this for.<BR /> Mon, 31 Jan 2005 20:46:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/how-to-restore-os/m-p/3475232#M5276 Timm Belcher 2005-01-31T20:46:24Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/how-to-restore-os/m-p/3475233#M5277 Hi,<BR /><BR />There are usually boot floppies for your HP server (or laptop).
