    Lets say I have personal files on my laptop, and I make the recovery DVD via HPs utility. Will the recovery DVD contain my personal files? Or will it just grab the files from the partition?

    Later on when I get rid of my laptop I dont want the new user getting my personal files. This is a DV2000 btw.

    Thanks!

    It will contain the default HP image, not anything of yours.
