@DocVir 

It's very unlikely that you will be able to do full reset because HP has not supplied recovery media for Vista for years -- and the third-party suppliers have stopped doing that, as well.

OK, then that is what you will have to obtain and use -- as HP no longer carries any Vista recovery media.
