Hi Daniel, Thanks very much! I did not get a few points:

Thanks, Daniel! I tried this yesterday, but got an error message saying no device drives/drivers found. I looked around the HP website but no help. I used a DVD. I also tried using Unetbootin on a USB stick, but all I got on the USB stick was "Default" when I booted into it.
