Welcome to Fixya
You dont need to use the recovery disk. The machine has a built in recovery partition. Unless you re-partion the HD. Re-partitioning the HD will destroy the restore partiotion. Here's the procedure for the restore factory state:
Restart your computer and press F9 key when the computer is starting up. On some computer you can press the F4 key and you will be able to activate the partition that is set inactive. After that your computer will restart and you can restore the system as you like.
Have a good one!
That having been said it is also a good time to remind people that it is never a bad idea to order a recovery set from the manufacturer. If the unit is still under warranty they will sometimes provide the disks free or for just the S&H.
