If you want the version of Windows that came with the HP computer back on
your machine you will have to use the method of recovery that shipped with
said machine. Likely one or more recovery CD/DVDs - but it could just be an
image on the hard disk drive. If you have done recoveries before
(destructive I assume) -- same thing.

Are you getting some sort of message telling you something is not right?
