HP Factory Restore

The Facts:

1. I have no OS installed, but BIOS shows that there is a WIN 7 OS, which I know isn't there.

2. I have four partitions; C,D,E,F.

3. The C: is the HP_RECOVERY partition.

4. The C:HP_RECOVERY partition is set to ACTIVE.

5. I have rebuilt the BCD from scratch.

6. There is a BOOT (X partition which shows on the CMD. Someone said its the RAM virtual partition.

7. Upon booting the system gives \WINDOWS\system32\winload.exe error.

8. The f11 or recovery manager ain't working.

What I Want

1. I want to do a factory restore.

Kindly help out.

What error does it give - there is more than one possibility.

Does it say the digital signature is not recognized ?

Or does it say winload.exe is missing.
