I would like to thank you very much for your help. The problem I've been having is I removed the recovery partition on the hard drive for the restore to work. The second problem I have is I do not own a large enough memory stick. Thanks for your help, I am leaning to the position of buying a...

I have an 8gb SD Card and I want to put the iso image of the HP restore disk on it so I can restore my HP Mini 1000. I don't have an external DVD drive and I don't feel like wasting money on one.

oh god damnit, I just went with micro atx motherboard and shit because I couldn't find a capable mini-itx board. FAIL FAIL FAIL. oh well, next PC will use this type of tech.

The day I can buy a mini-itx motherboard for under $100 that uses a modern amd/intel chipset and has a pci-e x16 slot I am in.
