I need to format my laptop and reinstall the original settings but I dont have access to the CDs. I heard that the hard drive has a hidden partition to restore factory settings. But I don't know how to access that partition. Can somebody please help?
 
Here's what I found:

Starting recovery when the computer is booting

* Turn on the computer.
* When the initial blue HP screen appears Press the "F10" key.
* A Recovery menu will appear.
* Click on "NEXT"
* and then click on "YES"
* Your system will now go through the product recovery
