Do a straight format of the hard drive. Reboot after the format with cdrom suport from the floppy. Boot off the recovery disk. :) Sat, 19 Oct 2002 02:58:06 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/system-recovery-for-8575c-pavillion/m-p/2813286#M1481 KenE 2002-10-19T02:58:06Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/system-recovery-for-8575c-pavillion/m-p/2813287#M1482 What OS are you trying to recover ??<BR /><BR />What kind of media do you have to recover from??<BR /><BR />live free or die<BR />harry Sat, 19 Oct 2002 10:53:12 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/system-recovery-for-8575c-pavillion/m-p/2813287#M1482 harry d brown jr 2002-10-19T10:53:12Z
