most hp’s a year ago w/ windows xp didnt come with windows xp cd’s you
have to press F10 when the HP screen comes up when you turn the PC on.
There is a hidden recovery partition on the drive.
you should be able to try a non destructive restore, if you click
advanced on the restore menu it will do destructive restore.
