Question : Problem: HP Recovery partition doesn't works with dual boot
Hi folks,
I have a problem with my HP Dv6704nr, thats what happens:
1 - The notebook cames with Windows Vista Home Premium, i bought the Ultimate and installed that
2 - I partitioned the disk and installed Linux ( Slackware 12.2 ) with Lilo to do the dual boot, on that partiion
3 - So now, when my computer turns on, the LILO screen comes up for me, to choose what operating system i want to boot.
Thaat's okay!
BUT!
4 - I'm trying to recover my notebook as factory default with the HP Recovery Partition, but it doesn't works.. when i press F11 in the bios screen, nothing happens, and the LILO comes up..
I tried so many times pressing F11 in diferent times, and never get the Recovery manager..
Someone can help me please??
Thankyou so much!!!!

The lilo instlation overwrote the mbr for HP- so now it wont be an option to boot into recovery console- Simplest way to go its to order the actual disks from support.hp.com- around 15$
