dont they partitioned the drive where OS backup is on drive and watever is on the other....

most new laptop buyers are required to do a backup recover disk when they bootup just in case they forget and format the crap and dont have the disks to reinstall....

you tried getting a copy from the helpline? they do send them out if you show them receipts and shit and tell them ur a noob.

Maybe in this case it would be easier if your friend just learned English!

that's correct... hp is such a pos company it's insane they actually make profit at all. i can't believe people buy those crappy computers.

anyhow, that's besides the point. the recovery files should be on the other partition and you should be able to access that from the bootup options on the pc.
