Dafuq you talking about? I've prepped hundreds of HP G6/G8 (this laptop, or similar). Every single one of them has this CD in the box, and I usually don't bother removing it before repacking and giving it to a new employee. HR has nothing to do with it, so you're on some weird tangential crusade.

If OP got the whole laptop box, that makes sense. If someone handed him the laptop, it was probably a new guy who didn't know to just throw the CD away.

Can't say for sure why HP does it, but there's probably a requirement for them to ship a manual with each product, and a CD is probably a cheaper way to fulfill that requirement.
