I have a HP Pavilion dv6602a Entertainment Notebook.
It came with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I wrote the Restore discs using the utility provided by HP and stored them somewhere. Later, I formatted the C: and created custom partitions for installing Windows XP and Linux.

Now, I want to revert to Windows Vista but cannot find my restore discs

There is an option for booting from the restore partition on the hard disk (I kept it intact). I need to press F11 while bios is loading. But this option no longer works! It used to work when Vista was installed, but it doesn’t after I installed XP. Any clues?
Thanks, but ordering the discs can take some time. Is there no way I can get the restore partition to work?
