Step 1: Create a set of recovery discs or a recovery DVD

To create the recovery disc set, Click Start, All Programs, PC Help %26amp; Tools (or similar), open HP or Compaq's Recovery CD-DVD Creation software, and follow the on-screen directions.

If you cannot create recovery discs or your discs have become damaged, continue to the next step.

Step 2: Order recovery CDs on the Web

Well...you can't keep using your bro's copy of XP Pro due to copyright....I would call HP to see if they could give you a restore cd since it's a HP and I am taking it you bought it....since your reformatted the whole HD...the partition that HP puts on with it's restore in was deleted as well.
