I have recently replaced my hard drive for my HP Pavilion s7220n Slimline PC.
I do not have a XP software disk. I would like to go back to factory
settings, and at start up when I hit F10 nothing happens. There is no file
under start, all programs,...that says HP tools of any sort. Please help. I
have a lot of crap and some spyware that I would like to get rid of. Thank
You!
 
When you replaced the hard drive you lost the hidden partition that was on
the old drive that contained the restore image file. Contact HP for possible
assistance.

You will have to contact HP. The docs which came with the HP Pavilions I
worked on strongly recommended burning recovery discs to DVD (or CD). Did
yours not make a similar recommendation?
