Hello;
Sorry, but I don't have very good news for you ...
They are correct. HP no longer stocks Recovery Media for the Vista-era PCs.
You said the hard drive had been "deleted" -- but what exactly did you do?
Asking because if all you did was reformat the drive, it might be possible to restore it -- but you would need a working PC on which to install recovery software, and an USB-to-hard-drive adapter to connect your drive to that PC.
We can proceed when you provide the information.
Thanks
