Windows 7 Recovery Partition: Do I need to download any drivers and burn them before?

I don’t think so – the recovery partition should contain all the drivers you need. Indeed, I didn’t have to insert my motherboard drvier CD into my desktop when I put 7 on it.

However, it’s not too big a deal to download the wireless card driver and burn it on a CD (can’t you put it on a USB stick?), so there’s no harm in doing it in the event that it might save you some hassle later.

I would, But I can’t seem to find the right Laptop that I;m using from the HP site.

What’s the full model number?

the product number?

No, the model number.
