Does anyone know if the "Restore to factory settings" option on HP actually writes 00s (or any pattern for that matter) to the drive? Or does it just do a Windows style format?

Windows style format, no 00's

It should be the window's quick format, but I believe under advance options, it will let you 00 the drive.

From the sound of it I don't think the user used advanced options; lets hope for their sake
