Sorry again for the inconvenience. I am now trying to boot my laptop to factory settings by booting it up, hitting escape and F11, but I get,
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem
1. Insert your Windows installation disk and restart your computer, I do not have this disk.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is in access able.
Could someone please help,
Thanks.

Most laptops come with a preinstalled recovery disk. Did you create the disks required to use your recover disk/s?
The recovery disk would take you back to Vista and you would have to reinstall the upgrade to Windows 7 after that is finished installing.
But if you didn't create the recovery disks. You can't just upgrade to Windows 7. You can however, contact HP and they might sell you a Vista recovery disk.

Thanks photolady for your reply, I did create these when I purchased my laptop but they were lost in a move. So now, I want to recover this back to factory with Vista and locate the right software on the HP websight. I have found some info on my notebook for a dx, I have an sx.

HP will probably send a DVD for the price of shipping.

Steve said what I was going to tell you. So you should be good now if you contact HP.
