I'm trying to do a factory reset on my laptop due to children and their downloads... I know the fastest way of doing this is by the disk that comes with the laptop at purchase, but lucky me, no disk. What are my options at this point?

Often errors when trying to do a factory reset, if the partitions were not messed with, is because of a disk error.

Did you contact HP support? Without disks you will need to download a base Windows version and install it using the license code on the laptop, if there is one. For newer systems the activation code can be in the BIOS.
