I have read all the responses but my backup was done differently. I have
the first executable file and then the FBw is only one file and its 27gigs
big! How am I able to restore? I cant burn to one DVD and I do not know
how to or should I make the files smaller? I am a musician and I have many
important files on there. HP are a bunch of idiots! Please help. Thanks
HP has provided all that you need. Your current problem seems to lie between
the keyboard and the back of your chair.
You CANNOT make that 27GB file smaller, but you can use it. Go to Windows
Help and Support: Search for "Rccover factory settings" (without the
quotes).

problems, the Recovery Manager can be used to perform a series of recovery
related tasks to fix your problem.
Click the Windows Start button (), click the arrow next to the Lock button

Use the Recovery Manager
The Recovery Manager uses software programs to fix your computer problem or

Once the Recovery is complete create recovery discs. 2 to 5 DVDs, up to 16
