Solved: Creating restoration discs - HP Support Community

Is it possible to create recovery disks of your system to completely restore it to a previous state ?

I mean recovery disks that would reinstall the operating system Plus all of the drivers currently on your system at the present time the discs were made.

There should be several ways to do that, even on a system that old. If the PC will boot to Windows, then run Recovery Manager. If the disks were not made before, they can only be made one time, then make them now. If they were made already and you lost them, you might try Computer Surgeons and get them for a small fee - usually $27

I can't thank you enough for this information and Lead. I have been looking for a place to purchase recovery disks for various systems for years with no success. Thank you so much!
