If your lucky you still have a hidden partition with the factory image on it. If not you may need to buy the restore CD from HP. Get on the phone with HP and have them walk you through restoring your computer to the factory settings. Their advise will be better than ours. Just don't tell them the part about installing Windows 7. Good Luck
