Turn on the computer.
When the initial blue HP screen appears, press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears. The progress indicator that first appears does not indicate that a recovery is taking place. The progress indicator represents the time before the recovery process is started.
When the Recovery screen appears, click Next, and then click Yes to perform a normal, non-destructive recovery.
To perform a destructive recovery, click Advanced, and then click Yes.
CAUTION: A destructive recovery will format the hard drive. This will delete all the information on the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP and the original software that came with the computer.
After the System Recovery is complete, the computer restarts and continues into Windows setup. Complete the setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup.
NOTE: It may take a long time to complete Windows setup. This time varies and may take over an hour, depending on the amount of files that were stored in the user account folders (Like My Documents and the Desktop).
When you can access the Windows desktop, immediately enable the Firewall, download important updates, and set a restore point.
Good Luck

A few words of thanks would be greatly appreciated. Add comment

Ok I just succesfully recovered a Compaq 5000 series today. There was a problem with the CDROM not reading at all when both were hooked up the way they were supposed to be. There is another way!. Here is what to do. Take the CDROM drive out. switch the jumper to Cable Select. plug the CDROM into the same strip as the HDD in the slave IDE connection. Make sure the HDD is set to Master, Not single. Some HDDs have Master and Master w/ slave and slave. set it to master with slave. If it says Single/ Master/ Slave, set it to Master. plug it all back in, leaving the secondary IDE slot on the motherboard bare. restart the machine, put in what ever Operating disk CDROM you want to install, the Bios will give a quick message that there is an IDE update confirmation and it will restart itself, and the startup process will start from there. Dont expect to recover any Data on the HDD It will be wiped clean. Fresh Install. If you are trying to recover an existing Operating system, you will probably need a setup disk of the OS. If you are running XP insert the XP disk. Select it to repair XP. As far as ME on one of these machines or 98, you will probably have to use the recovery disks to do such a task. Reply to this if there is anything not too clear. My email will alert me as soon as there is a reply.

1) Assuming you want to return the system to Factory State using the recovery partition - loosing ALL DATA & APPLICATIONS etc
Start -> Programs -> Recovery Manager -> System Recovery (or similar) -> Advanced options -> Systems Recovery - Will reboot - then again - Advanced options -> Systems Recovery.
