If your computer is new(as it seems since your running Vista), HP's come with a recovery partition and manager. You have two ways to access the recovery program, the simplest method would be during the bootup, choose the recovery option(only shown for a matter of seconds on the lower portion of the screen) and follow the instructions. The other is while in windows use the HP recovery manager and follow the instructions. Type "Recovery" in the search bar in the start menu.
