System Recovery
Every time I try to run "System Recovery" and
select "Recovery Only" from the menu, nothing happens and the coputer completely freezes. My computer came with Windows 98 Second Edition. I have a Hewlett Packard Pavillion 6630 with Intel Celeron Processor and 10 gig HD. I simply want to restore the computer to its original state without compromising any of the programs I have loaded. The "Recover Only" option was supposed to do that. If you would rather send the reply to my email, send it to |

System Recovery
In that W98 doesn't have system recovery, I suspect you are either posting
in the wrong newsgroup or have a third party program. Listing your email address was a mistake--chances are you are going to get tons of spam and emails with a virus attached. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Dipp" wrote in message ...

System Recovery
The CD you are using was prepared by HP. How the recovery procedure works
and what might go wrong with it are specific to the way that HP prepared that CD. The procedure you are using is not part of Windows. You might find someone here who is familiar with the HP system recovery procedure, but it is more likely that you would have to contact HP to find out what the process is, whether you are running it correctly, and just what might cause the problem you are seeing. Recovery disks like this usually wipe the whole drive and restore the system to factory standard, so you would need to confirm with HP that the option you are using works the way you think it does. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Dipp" wrote in message ...
