Video is a little over 1mb.

Basically shows a HP that's been disabled by a virus. I guess the clever HP techs forgot to take into account a virus that infects their recovery partition, too:thumbsdown:

I was about to post this. I don't get why people like to post embedded video.

btw, that's a really lousy camera you have, and a really anticlimactic, useless video. 😛

Well the recovery partition is useless in the event of hard disk failure too!

That's why I always burn it to optical media when the recovery image is created or if on local network they get sent to a server built for that purpose.

Cheers!

Of course your common computer user (my customer) doesn't think that far ahead!
