contact HP tech support and order a XP Home OEM cd (proof of purchase could be required / fees may apply)

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

If he deleted the recovery partition will the recovery disks work? Don't you have to have the partition with the info on it to recover?

In that case your customized Recovery CD will be useless as it depends on the hidden partition. You will have to order set of CDs from HP to rebuild it.
