I restarted and kept hitting f10 which I thought was how you start the recovery partition. I followed all the steps and when I rebooted all the old files were here, plus a lot of junk that came with the computer when I first bought it. I wanted the computer to run like new but now it’s even slower than before I "reformatted" it.
How do I wipe my HP computer clean of all its files and start over?
If I restore my Registry from a previous back up can I use that to bring back some files I accidentally erased

I accidentally erased my recovery partition in my D-Drive on my new laptop and I am desperate to recover that information as I recently erased some sensitive information. I was not supplied with a system restore disc when I purchased this laptop but was given the suggestion that I burn my own. So can I gain anything by restoring my registry from a previous backup?
I have a h p and the vista 64 bit recovery partition is already preinstalled. Whenever i restore my computer, it already has all the video drivers preinstalled. Now, If i wanted to format the partition and reinstall with a clean fresh install of windows xp.. Will i still have to reinstall all the video drivers, mouse drivers and everything again? If so, Where are some links that i can use to start downloading drivers
