recieved a new hp laptop today, and would like to put a clean install of win 7 on (there is an INSANE amount of bloatware preinstalled). If i were to format the main partition and install fresh, will the recovery partition still work should i ever want to restore it to factory state?

For the sake of the arguement lets say i dont have the resources to store an image of the partition.

cheers

edit: this would probably be better in the hard drive section if a mod could be so kind :)
 
One thing that was an option on the last HP laptop I set-up was you can use the recovery partition to do a minimal restore.

Which wiped the drive and installed the OS and drivers and left out the talking parrot etc.
