John,
I am going thru this problem right now on a friend's computer. Brand new =
HP Pavilion, and NO restore disks. Searching HP's website, they hide very=
well where you can order recovery CD's, but I found this. Of course the =
call is long distance to their support site : (
Windows XP recovery CDs
HP Pavilions that ship with Windows XP do not come with recovery CDs.
Instead, they use a hidden space (partition) on the hard drive to store t=
he recovery information. Using a hidden partition provides a convenient, =
more stable recovery process that eliminates the need for fragile, easily=
lost
recovery CDs.
To recover a Pavilion desktop computer go to: =
Performing a Full System Recovery in Microsoft=AE Windows XP.

To order Windows XP recovery discs for an HP Pavilion desktop computer, c=
all HP customer care.

Not sure how these links are going to come out, they may need to be copy =
and pasted. I am sending this webmail from his computer because I am over=
here trying to get all HP's and Windows XP's garbage off of it!
