    Contrary to the info on the link, F11 accesses the recovery on a DV9000

    I followed your link Ferrit and it told me to press F10 for the recovery screen, but that only gets me into the BIOS and there isn't any option for recovery install there.

    Surfer was composing the post while I posted my reply, and may have logged off before seeing it, or maybe the laptop is elsewhere.

    Your first guess was correct Platypus. I just tried the F11 and it worked. Thanks for the help guys.
