HP Pavilion p7-1446s Desktop PC

My computer recently crashed and my recovery images were of no use to me. I could not access them nor could the system. Now that I spend days and still weeks putting the computer back to where it needs to be. I would like to know how to restart the contents in the current HP recovery images so that it reflects my current setup and it can actually be of help if the need were to arise again. FYI, I've looked and looked and that's why I'm here now.
Also, for some odd reason I have two HP Recovery image drives and I don't know why.

I did but it didn't work. It didn't recognize my product number. Said it was invalid. So, right now I have to separate recovery images, each about 25GBs, which by the way did help me at all when trying to recover my computer. I had to restore to factory settings and start all over again. That is why I want to have them reset and start again with the current setup.

Any ideas?
