How Do I Use My System Recovery Disks?
A few years ago i created system recovery disks and had to use them to restore my laptop. I didn't know what to do so my friend did it for me, but now he's not around and i need to reformat because i'm giving the laptop to my girlfriend.
I still have the disks but have no idea how to use them. I've gone in the HP recovery manager and clicked yes when it asks if i want to restore to the factory settings. It then restarts and seems to be looking for a windows 7 installation disk which i don't have and as far as i recall never have done.
On boot up i tried pressing f11 and it said it was going to the system recovery, and then it just loaded up windows anyway.
How do i restore my computer?
