I don't know what you trying to do but they are not the SAME.

 

  • The one HP sells for 40.00 will bring your machine back to Factory Setting status, back to the time you opened the box and it will re-create Recovery Drive,
  • The one called restore drive you can make on a memory drive will bring your machine back to Factory Setting status, back to the time you opened the box only.

Regards.
