Hello again cammy.
You are saying that you lost the recovery manager to install the system recovery, and now that it is gone, cannot install another recovery manager? I don't believe there is a way to get it back, as I am sure that is one of those things that come pre-installed on a computer. If interested, you might look into purchasing software that does this sort of thing for you.
Some of these tutorials may come in handy for you, take a look: - System Restore Point - Create
- System Repair Disc - Create
- Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

You might find it easier to buy a set of HP recovery discs. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs: Looking for Recovery Discs? - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
You don't say where you live so you'll need to change the region if you don't live in the USA.
Failing that, you say you have a Windows 7 DVD. You could just carry out a clean install with that, and then create a system image backup. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit CPU Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz Motherboard MSI 2A9C (CPU1) Memory 8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz Graphics Card nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1024MB dedicated RAM Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP2310i Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech K750 solar-powered keyboard Mouse Logitech Wireless M180 mouse PSU 460W Case HP Elite Cooling Air cooled Hard Drives 1x1954GB Hitachi HDS22020ALA 330 (RAID), 1x1954GB Hitachi External for backup and storage Internet Speed 2Mb Other Info Pure Avanti Flow Internet Radio with iPod Dock, 64Gb iPod, HP USB Speakers, Sony MDR-V500 Headphones, Sony Vaio F-Series Laptop |
