Alert: Windows Update has detected that your computer is
a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion desktop or Compaq Presario
desktop PC with Windows XP pre-installed. After you
install Windows XP Service Pack 1, you might encounter an
issue with the PC System Recovery utility. If you use
this utility to perform a non-destructive system
recovery, you might be unable to start your computer.
Hewlett-Packard has released an update to the PC System
Recovery utility to remedy this issue, which you can
install from the Hewlett-Packard Web site. Once you
install the update, this alert will no longer appear when
you visit the Windows Update Web site. Alternatively,
recovering from this error can be accomplished by running
full destructive system recovery, which results in the
loss of all user data. Please refer to Microsoft
Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q329450 for additional
information.
