    Hello,I recently bought a pavillion dv6748us and instead of trying to get rid of all the pre-installed crapware,I deleted C drive and installed my own full version of Vista Home Premium.I didn't delete the HP Recovery drive,but cant access it by pressing F11 on startup.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
