Hi, If you never received a Disk when you purchased it, you would have a Recovery Partition to reinstall the Operating System from. With a HP Compaq, you press F11 at Boot to start the Recovery Process back to Factory Settings. Read this information: 'Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery' Some manufacturers no longer have Vista Recovery Disks available. If that happens, you may have to try this instead: You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, that contains the files for the various Vista Editions (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) to be installed.

I have lost one of the disc's available with the only set of my recovery disc's given for the hp pavilion dv5 1007 ax laptop with vista 32 bit version and also I dont have the recovery partition.So please help me find the recovery disc's for download and let me know as soon as possoible as icannot even.

The Product Key on your Computer / Laptop case determines which Edition is installed. Other Manufacturers' Recovery DVDs are not to be used for the above purpose. And you need to know the 'bit' version for Vista, as 32bit and 64bit Editions come on different DVDs Here is how to do a clean install of Vista, using a Microsoft Vista DVD: ' How to Do a Clean Install and Setup with a Full Version of Vista' And phone Activation may be required when using the above clean install Method.
