Re: XP Pre Installed
On HP's you usually invoke the built in recovery by pressing F10 before the
machine starts booting to windows.

Hello All,
A friend of mine bought his computer over for me to have a look at it. I
need to do a reinstall, but it's a Hewlett Packard with windows installed
on a hidden partition. He had no other discs with him, so I was wondering
how one goes about getting at the hidden partition to begin the reinstall
process. I can get into recovery console ok, and can see the hidden
partition. But I imagine that there must be some sort of a rescue disk
that is needed to get the whole process started? Any advice would be
gladly recieved.TIA.
