Factory Reset HP Notebook

Recommended Posts

I’m donating an HP G60t-200 notebook with Windows 7 (HE) and want to reset it to original factory condition.

HP Support page says do the following to access the Recovery Manager:

 

- Click Start, type recovery in the search field, and select HP Recovery Manager to run recovery from the D drive.

- Turn on the power and press F11 to run recovery without starting Windows (on some models esc key and then F11 key ).

- Insert the customer-created Recovery disc in disc drive and turn the power on to boot from the DVD disc.

- Insert replacement the Recovery disc purchased from HP, and turn the power on to boot from the DVD disc.

 

The Recovery Manager is supposed to look like this:

The problem I have is I can’t get to the Manager.

Also, I do not have any of the discs they mention in the 3rd and 4th steps.

I thought I could simply do a reset using the Recovery partition that came installed in the HD. But how do I access it?

 

Thanks, Steve
