    Hi everyone
    I'm thinking of formatting my laptop to restore everything to it's original state(actually kind of have to!) but the problem is that I've never done so via the partition.I used to use the Recovery DVD but since it's broken this is my only choice.So how do I do it and will I need to install the drivers myself after??
    A step-by-step guide would be appreciated.

    Thank you but I'm on XP and i don't think i have "HP Recovery Manager" on my system.I guess the F11 button is the way.But i need to know what i'm going to be doing after that.
