I've never done a HP recovery so all I know is what the website tells about it.

But that ASR part is saying "You should create Automated System Recovery (ASR) sets on a regular basis as part of an overall plan for system recovery in case of system failure."
It's like a backup for the whole system it sounds like.
But you would need a working cd burner to do it unless there is an option to send files to that partition on the hard drive or a flash drive.

I would try that ASR Wizard located in Backup and see where it sends the files. usually it will have a default set so just let it go to that location & click OK. give it a try, then you'll know you have a backup there - at the very least it will or will not work then you'll know..


sometimes I read over the info on the websites a few times so I'm sure to understand what they are saying - or I print out the steps needed -just makes it easier.
