I'm maybe every six months. How did you do the restore DVD? I have the

I went to HP's support site at
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome.
I selected United States, then entered my Pavilion model number A1100Y.
On the next screen I clicked "Manuals" on the right side.
First choice was "PC Trouble Shooting/System Restore"
However, all I got was a much briefer two-sheet manual -- the second page
was in Japanese -- identified as 5991-3384. There may be some information
that will help you there, but obviously it's not nearly as useful as the
full document I have. I tried HP's search engine but could not locate
either manual by entering the manual part numbers.
You, of course, have a different model number as your machine is two or
three years older than mine.
A little Google searching on "PC Troubleshooting Guide" brought up this
26-page guide for the a1200 series(although when I used a1100y for my
model, the list of guides was much, much shorter):
http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00494420/c00494420.pdf
It appears to be very similar to the printed one I have, although the ID
on the very last page is different. Page numbers go from 1 to 20 on this;
1 to 17 on my manual.
Be careful with the link. It may wrap in my message, but the address needs
to be entered all in one line.
If you still have HP's customized Help and Support installed you may be
able to find some information there.
My Win XP Pro was a clean install. I had backed up all my data and, of
course, had to reinstall all my programs.
And, oh yes, if you ever decide to get rid of the hidden partition be very
careful. That's what led to my XP Pro clean install... I'm quite happy
with the result, but it was a real struggle to get there.

The link worked fine! Thanks again. I tried buggering around with the
partition and installed XP Pro but the display was crap. A lot of necessary
drivers were not installed, not the least of which, obviously, was the
graphics card driver and the monitor driver. Try as I might I couldn't
change the resolution. There was at least one item that wouldn't run because
my resolution was so low. So, once again, I reverted to the factory
installs, did an update to SP2, and then let Windows download the updates (I
can't wait til SP3 comes out! I will be one of the first to download it!).
I'll have to read over the manual you directed me to. And, once again, Bill,
I'm in your debt.
Yesterday was taken up with eradicating the virtumonde virus. Took all day.
I believe it came in with a surf session using IExplorer 7 (updated).
Apparently that virus first introduces itself through an activeX control
that you agree to in IExplorer.
