Can I get my PC to factory settings after installation of a Linux operating system

My PC is a HP Pavilion P6000 model No. 6505uk

I recently started my PC double so I'm now using Linux mint and windows 7. I want to switch to Linux completely and get rid of Windows 7, but I still have my recovery discs HP where I always want to go back.

However, somone told me on the forums Linux Mint restore HP expects partitions be the same when the machine has been used so if I mess around with the partitions to get rid of Windows, then the restore feature will no longer function. Is this true?

Here is a link to the topic on the Linux mint forum I posted - http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=157874

Hello

Even if does not work try reinstalling the OS from the HP recovery Partition probably, your set of recovery disks should have no problem - in addition, if you ever have to replace the HARD drive, your recovery disks will work also without problem.

The procedure first formats the disc, then recreates all original scores - the machine will be in the State it was in when first purchased (IE any custom partition will be lost).

Best regards
