    All good staff!

    I have one notebook DV8333 and I formatted windows that it came in it and did not create a DVD/CD Recovery before this.

    You give it has a partition that eh to make recovery of the data.

    It wanted to know as to Recovery without having the DVD/CD, only with the partition.

    Since you formatted and reinstalled Windows you wont be able to start the recovery process even though you have the recovery partition intact. Reinstalling Windows created a new MBR which doesnt have the HP custom entries for the recovery partition.
