I am trying to fix my PC. And I need to access some of the files on my Recovery Drive but it just shows

_____________________________________________________________________________________
HP INVEN
Recovery Partitio
Warning

This area of your hard disk
(or partition) contains files used
for your system recovery

Do not delete or alter these files

Any change to this partition coul
prevent any recovery later

But it will not allow me access. I have checked view hidden files. And everything else I can think of to do but nothing helps. What can I do
 
One cannot extract any particular files from a Recovery partition.
See the following:

HP Pavilion computers have a hidden partition which contains the files necessary
to restore your PC to its original factory condition. Please read and follow these
instructions carefully:

Note: HP offers both a "destructive" and "non-destructive" method....use the
"non-destructive" method.

Note: You must return your HP computer to the exact same hardware configuration
as it was originally. Disconnect all peripheral hardware devices except for the monitor,
keyboard and mouse.
