Question:
Format the dv5296ea
I just got myself a dv5296ea but I don't really wanted to keep the bloated HP base install, to my suprise they dont provide a windows cd & drivers relaying totaly on their "smart recovery" app.
I've already created DVD-DL backup, and downloaded the drivers from HP site, now I would like to know if the DVD-DL backup i've made usable to do a factory install if in the future I want to format and have the standart install there.
Help is appreciatted
P.S. - I have no intentions of deleting the factory/backup partition on the laptop (got enough space as it is now)

Done
I guess i'm ready to make a clean install (will have lots of drivers and such to install after i'm done tho)
BTW whats the name given to the Hardware profiles (Office, Battery saving mode,etc..) app?
