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: https://support.hp.com/doc-images/36/c03573444.jpg 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
