Mr. Hurd told Covington on July 20 that he liked to relax with Ms. Fisher after H-P events and had discussed with her certain deeply personal details, including his life with his wife.
As chairman of H-P, Ms. Dunn also helped lead a CEO search that recruited Mark Hurd from NCR Corp.
For instance, on Feb. 11, 2008, H-P sent Ms. Fisher to the Rancho Bernardo Inn near San Diego, where she dined with Mr. Hurd and spent a night.
Ms. Fisher wrote a brief letter absolving H-P of responsibility and declaring that there were "many inaccuracies" in the earlier letter, without specifying what they were.

In part because of the pretexting experience, H-P's board conducted lengthy discussions over the summer on how to disclose Ms. Fisher's allegations, even before the board decided to dismiss Mr. Hurd, the Journal has reported.
H-P says an investigation found Mr. Hurd had a "close personal relationship" with Ms. Fisher that was never disclosed to the board.
