HP Recovery

[ Edited ]

I got a my probook 4530s without any preinstalled windows. Now I want to install windows (XP or 7) with recovery capabilities. i.e I would like to make my laptop like a HP laptop with preinstalled win.

In a preinstalled win laptop, there are four partitions -

1. SYSTEM

2. C

3. RECOVERY

4. HP_TOOLS

 

Is is possible to do it in my fresh laptop? If yes, how can I be able to do it?

 

Please use plain text.

Re: HP Recovery

Hi,

 

You can order a set of Recovery discs (hope they will supply it for you because your machine did not have it from the beginning). With this set, you can have all partitions you want. Here is the place to order:

Re: HP Recovery

I've installed HP QuickWeb Software from "Download drivers and software" of Probook 4530s. I've got "HP_TOOLS" drive. Whats next?
