How to Get Past the HP Invent Screen to Use a Boot-Up Disk
The boot disk that comes with HP computers will restore the system to the original factory settings. When a computer is being restored, it will remove all additional files and programs from the hard drive and reinstall the original configurations and programs, which may include trial software, onto the system. The boot disk doesn't operate like other disks; once inserted, the computer must then be told how to read the disk with a command. This command will get you past the HP Invent screen.
