My system crashed and now I just get the blue screen that says to reinstall windows, when I try to use my recovery disks that it won't work.

Is there anywhere to get a new copy of the system recovery disc for my windows vista computer.  I have a HP Pavillion and I get not anywhere when trying to start repair, it tries to fix my computer and takes forever... and then I get the blue screen saying I need to reload windows.  The recovery discs that I burned when I bought the computer do not work.  What are my options?

How to reinstall Vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

With HP normally press you F11 at startup to start the process of recovery from the recovery partition

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
