Help with HP Recovery Manager Screen

[mapper09]

I just installed a new hard drive and I put in the first recovery disk.  I have the HP Recovery screen displayed.  I have the options - First colunm - Microsoft System Restore, Microsoft Startup Repair Tool, Factory Reset     Second colunm - Run Computer Checkup      Third colunm - File Backup Program.  The bold represent available options.  I assume I should click on Factory Reset but I am not sure.   Please note I installed a larger hard drive than original.  Will it ask later for the other two recovery CD's?

Yes.  Since the disk-drive is "empty", there is nothing to be "lost" if this is the incorrect choice.

Good. 

Sometimes, the "Factory Reset" will object, if the new disk-drive has a smaller capacity than the factory-supplied disk-drive.

But, "bigger is better".

Maybe.  If it asks, then insert them.

Thank you.  It did ask for the other two disks.
