    Windows XP or Vista? Assuming you havent removed or reinstall the OS..In XP, it should be located in Start->All Programs->System recovery->Create restore discs. Makse sure you have either 2 or 3 DVD's or 1 DL DVD or 10CD's. RW or rewritable media does not work with the recovery software. if you are using Vista, it should be located in the same place as well.

    Does your system still have the restore partition on the hard drive? Is this a new computer or a used one? The recovery software only allows one copy of the image to be burnt to disc. So, if the previous owner has already burnt them your only option would be to either ask the previous owner for them or order them from HP for a price...
