Ok i have a HP computer. I tried putting vista on it and it stuffed up on me. I took in under warrenty and they said i wasn't covered because vista isn't recommended on a HP computer. They said it needs to be re-imaged and it will cost Almost $500 to do that. I just spent $500 on vista so i DO NOT want to spend that much more. What does this mean and is there another way i can fix it myself or something?????? Could i put in a new hard drive? Would that work or would i still have problems?
re-imaged probably means software reloaded as in windows & other programs. what is the make & model# of that hp so can look at what it has? what vista is it that costs $500?
Thank you so much for your reply! I don't have the recove cd's I tried making them but they wouldn't work. it would say that the it couldnt complete the burning stage. I have a HP media pc m7390a Ok... first off i was having a blue screen. It was saying something to do with bad_pool_error. Someone said it was something to do with the HD. And to format it. ok.. So i tried to make the backup disks.. But they didnt work. The last ones i made said they worked... But they didnt. I formatted the HD and tried to use the disks. They wouldn't work. So i brought vista home premium (full version).. i tried installing that and it came up with 'boot mng missing'. So i took in to get repaired under warranty. They wont do it under warranty because its something software did. Apparently Vista stuffed it up or something. I have no idea. Now they want $500 to fix it! Did all that make sense? lol Could i just get a new hard drive? Or something?
delete the partition on the drive then make a partition before formatting it using the new vista disk then load vista. vista drivers link. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&product=1846818&lang=en product spec link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...66&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&product=1846818&lang=en Solve a problem link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/solveCategory?product=1846818&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&lang=en recovery disk link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...83&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&product=1846818&lang=en
