HP Pavilion Laptop DV9000

I have a HP Pavilion Laptop in my possession. The laptop was given to me by a friend who got fed up with it not working. However, he's a doctor and always keeps all his hard drives, so I had to purchase a new harddrive for this computer. The reason I bring this up is because I don't have a recovery partition anymore since it is a new harddrive. For those that don't know, most computers ship with a recovery partition on the harddrive, which allows you to restore the computer back to factory settings, this includes software and operating system. In this case, the recovery partition also has the software for QuickPlay.

Specs: HP Pavilion DV9000
AMD 1.7 Duel Core
1GB of RAM
250GB *NEW* WD Blue Harddrive
DVD+RW DL (Duel Layer) CDRW
1.3 MP Webcam
Onboard Wifi + Bluetooth + Infrared
4 USB Slots
5 in 1 card reader (SD-MS/Pro-MMC/XD)

The laptop shows normal signs of wear, and works properly. For those that might be wondering, I am a certified A+ Technician (Just took the 701 and 702). The laptop shipped with Windows Vista, since I hate Vista and don't have any more unused Windows 7 CD keys, I put XP back on. Passes validation and updated though Windows Update to SP3. The only thing that I could not get working was the quickplay, when I had Windows Vista on it worked fine.

Condition of the battery is not really known, it does hold a charge for longer the 5 minutes, but the previous owner said it didn't last so long. I have not tested it. Good news for you, I do think (no promises) that this laptop battery is covered under HP's recall. I will not be perusing it, but it you buy it you may want to look into this.

I will take $449 for the laptop with power cord (nothing else is included)
