You can order the recovery CDs fromt he manufacturer for a nominal fee. Just give them the serial number of the machine and they will know what to send you. ~Rich
if you didn't touch the h: drive then the info should be still there. when you 1st startup the computer, does it give you the option to do f12 to do a system recovery? what is the make & model# of that hp?
cheers doubledown m8,will look into that,@ ddp,,the "h" drive,, is that the partition ? if so,,i never touched it,,i went and checked it but it was deffo empty,think free space was nearly 7 gig or something,the pc is an hp a1516.uk start up does`nt give me system recovery option,but is that because it was`nt the hp windows that went back in it,,it was xp corporate ?
I just found this article that i would even take and use and was going to make the back up tomorrow. http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/recovery_disk.htm Have a read its worth it . Very informative.
