Hello @PrajwalK

Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.

System Restore is different feature than HP Recovery (Reset function).

This is System Restore > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03327545

This is HP Recovery and Reset:

I believe you are asking for the HP Recovery and Reset function. If yes, only C:\ drive is reset

D:\ partition is usually the partition where recovery files are stored and E/F is HP Tools partition.

You should *not* attempt to store your personal files in these partitions.

There is also an option to perform Reset of the Windows OS with option to keep the files at the moment.

It is recommended that you create back up of your files ouside the HDD - on external devices, for example.

Here is more info about to perform the HP Recovery or the Reset functions:
