On the majority of HP laptops there is a utility for creating a set of recovery disks. This is a hidden partition. If you check the HP link in the previous answer it should tell you how to access this facility. You then need a USB flash-drive or a set of DVD's to create the recovery. This can only be done once as the data is deleted once the discs are created. This is a no cost option if you have a flash-disk.
