I believe that HP was telling you to run System RECOVERY which takes
your computer back to the same condition it was in when you took it
out of the box.

If you hit F11 and weren't offered that option... did you delete the D
partition that was on the computer when you bought it? Did you ever
make recovery discs from it?
