HP recovery discs - additional copies
HP laptops only permit 1 copy of their recovery discs - This procedure allows more to be made if original discs are lost or damaged.
1. Download Free Commander
2. Open D:\ Drive in Free Commander, assuming d is the recovery partition on your hp laptop computer
3. Find and Delete a file named HPCD.SYS in D:\ drive root folder . In newer HP systems, the fine name is hpdrcu.prc and its present in three locations. Search and delete hpdrcu.prc.
4. Navigate to the windows folder at C:\Windows\SMINST and delete another file with the same name HPCD.SYS
5. That’s it done you can now create new sets of recovery CDs or DVDs
