Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉 

I appreciate your time and efforts,

 

Considering what you've mentioned, I recommend you make use of the recovery media as it would provide an option to backup all your personal data/information and then reinstall the OS, which in turn will install all the software and drivers your computer needs to run:

Thank you for joining HP Forums. 

I'll be glad to help you 🙂 

 

As I understand you've accidentally scheduled for OS HDD drivers to be uninstalled,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 

(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

What exactly do you mean by OS HDD Drivers? Are you able to use the computer or does it not boot into windows anymore?

 

If this is a specific software or driver you've removed, please Click here to recover it using the HP Recovery manager.

If this doesn't help, please help me understand your concern better by elaborating on the same, so that I can help you.

 

Let me know if those steps worked for you,

If they did, that's awesome!

I am able to use the Pc, as I have not restarted yet. When I say OS HDD drivers, I mean the drivers for my main hard drive.

HP Recommended

My product number is F3F07AA#ABA

HP Recommended

Also, I cant reinstall the drivers with Recovery Manager, as they have not been uninstalled yet, and once they are, i don't think Windows will even boot.

HP Recommended

Or should I let them be uninstalled and use a seperate usb recovery media I already have to run Microsoft starttup repair.

 

HP Recommended

OK, last idea. Maybe I could use a WinPE disk and run Windows Resource Protection from the Command Prompt and use that to reinstall the Hard Drive drivers.
