Introduction
The Image Library and Diagnostics System CD-ROM and its use in the
recovery of HP preloaded software.

10
Your Preloaded Software
Your HP PC is delivered with preloaded software already in place on
the hard disk. This includes the operating system, all the correct
drivers for your hardware, plus special HP utilities to support you if you
should run into difficulties at any time during the working life of the
PC.
To provide a secure backup against software corruption, the entire
preloaded system can be restored using the HP CD-ROMs provided
with your PC. These utilities permit a rapid trouble-free restart should
you ever need to reinstall your operating system, drivers and/or HP
utilities.
Full Recovery of Preloaded Software
Two steps to carry out a complete reinstallation of all preloaded
software on your PC:
1Use the Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM to restore the
operating system (and HP disk partition). Refer to the
documentation on the Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM for
details
2When the OS is reinstalled and running, use the Image Library and
Diagnostics CD-ROM to reinstall the specific drivers, HP
applications and utilities.
