I have an HP Pavilion, XP Home, 2 years old, did regular mainenance. Several problems, incl. system resore won't work. HP recommended Non-Destructive System Recovery. Want to do complete overhaul - total, destructive System Recovery. Also, ordered installation/recovery disks from HP so I could have that option, also to have access to XP Backup utility which doesn't come installed by default on Home edition. Hoping the oems CDs include this.
I've read horror stories about Sys. Recovery and I need advice - which method is more reliable and trouble-free: System Recovery or using HP's recovery disks? Also, the oem's disks are NOT the same as Microsoft Win XP Installation disks, correct? How are they are different? Thanks for any help...
P.S. I know, I know... next time I wont by an HP, I didn't know better at the time, and I would read the manual but they didn't supply one. I've read everything everywhere else I could find, and used my free support phone calls.
