In this scenario, an early version of HP Backup and Recovery inadvertently changes the Boot Configuration Data for WinRE and removes a pointer to the WinRE partition. This package repairs WinRE and the Advanced Boot Option. It also prevents a reoccurrence of the issue. PREREQUISITES: None INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1.
