... did HP supply that system with a "recovery partition"... in other words, is HP shipping that machine with a bootable option to restore the entire system to "ship" defaults by installing from the recovery partition? If so, there is a technique (I have used it several times with HP machines) for repartitioning the drive, installing Suse, and then "recovering" the original from the recovery partition. Now for the caveat... I have only done this several times with XP... M$ may have different rules (behaviors) for the vista preloads. On the other hand (and a positive note) HP is probably trying to maintain some consistency with their product line and the HP vista preloads probably work just like the XP preloads did.
Maybe this works the same for Vista: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,122487-page,1/article.html?findid=51120 -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
