do you still have the recovery partition on the system? If not, you will have to contact the manufacturer of the computer and purchase a copy of the xp recovery cd. You cannot download it.

If your hard drive is still working may be you can try the steps here:

Laptop Recovery Instructions

This is I believe is the easier and shortest way to recover/restore your laptop to factory defaults. The other (longer) way is ordering from HP/Compaq website a recovery/restore CD.

Unfortunately you cannot get this via download.
