How to Create a Recovery Disk for Compaq Presario CQ57
If you own a Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop running Windows 7, you may need to create a recovery disk to restore your system in case of a failure. A recovery disk is a set of files that can be used to boot your computer and reinstall Windows 7 and the
original software that came with your laptop. You can create a recovery disk using the built-in Recovery Manager software or by downloading a recovery disk image from the Internet.
Using Recovery Manager
The Recovery Manager software is pre-installed on your Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop and allows you to create a recovery disk using blank CDs or DVDs. To use this method, follow these steps:

Boot into your Windows 7 system and close any open programs.
Disconnect from the Internet and disable any antivirus or firewall software.
Go to Start > All Programs > PC Help & Tools > Recovery Disc Creation.
At the Welcome to the Recovery Manager screen, click Advanced Options.
Select Create recovery discs using blank discs and click Next.
Insert a blank CD or DVD into your optical drive and click Next.
Follow the on-screen instructions to burn the recovery disk. You may need more than one disc depending on the size of the recovery image.
Label the discs and store them in a safe place.
Using Recovery Disk Image
If you don't have access to the Recovery Manager software or you have deleted the recovery partition from your hard drive, you can still create a recovery disk by downloading a recovery disk image from the Internet. You will need a USB flash drive with
at least 4 GB of space and another computer with Internet access. To use this method, follow these steps:
Download the recovery disk image for Compaq Presario CQ57 from this link. The file name is Compaq_Presario_Recovery_CD.zip and it is about 3.5 GB in size.
Extract the zip file to a folder on your computer using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip.
Insert your USB flash drive into your computer and format it as FAT32.
Copy all the files from the extracted folder to your USB flash drive.
Rename the file BOOTMGR on your USB flash drive to NTLDR.
Eject your USB flash drive and insert it into your Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop. Turn on your laptop and press F9 repeatedly to enter the Boot Menu.
Select USB Hard Drive as the boot device and press Enter.
Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system using the recovery disk image.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems while creating or using the recovery disk, you can try the following solutions:
If the Recovery Manager software does not launch or gives an error message, you may need to update the software from this link.
If the recovery disk does not boot or does not recognize your hard drive, you may need to change the BIOS settings to enable legacy mode or disable secure boot. To access the BIOS, press F10 repeatedly when you turn on your laptop and use the arrow keys
and Enter to navigate the menus.
If the recovery process fails or hangs, you may need to check the integrity of your recovery disk or USB flash drive. You can use a program like ImgBurn or Rufus to verify the disk image or flash drive.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can contact HP Support by phone, chat, or email from this link.
