    I want to reformat My HP pavillion 513w, and put a store bought fresh install of xp on it. A couple problems tho, I dont want to use the recovery disks they give you . So how would I get drivers for the store bought XP OS

    And more importantally will a hp computer let me install this or is it mandatory to use their recovery disks.

    So basically wipe it completly clean delete all partitions and install xp HP does not have driver disks, they say it is on the recovery disk.

    help PLz and thx in advance.
