• Windows installation disc needs for a new disk hard but is not available

  Hello

  The hard drive on my PC HP badly shot - he tells me I need to check for consistency, but it cannot and will not run chkdsk on a restart and will not let me create a restore disk.

  OK, I accept that I need to buy a new hard drive but I have no CD to install Win 7. The pc has a partition called "factory secctings" but it will not create a cd of Windows or a restore cd or a Sun.

  Microsoft has said that it is not available for me because my serial number includes the letters OEM. I had a case created at HP, and a person called me and said I should get the CD of the os from Microsoft, or from the store I bought from (Staples). Staples said they have no CD for Win 7 and cannot make me a. They said get them from Microsoft or HP.

  The number of cases is 3016271460

  See that I get nothing from Microsoft, HP, or Stqples. I never got a CD with the pc because, I guess, it's there on the partition to factory settings, but with the failure of hard drive I can't use it.

  All have a suggestion?

  Your hard drive can hold the DEFECTIVE SECTORS.

  The only way to get windows 7 disc is to buy a new Amazon / similar online stores / service centres.

• Hard drive of my computer Acer failed and I need to get media for Windows Vista. Where can I get?

  Hard drive of my Acer computer has failed... blah!

  Hard drive of my Acer computer has crashed.  Acer will not give me the Microsoft Vista software to use with the new hard drive, I need to have installed (my computer is 4 years old, and Acer said that he was in front of a 3-year window...), and there was never any instructions to create recovery disks (of course, I discovered that these recovery disks do not work in all cases).  I am reluctant to spend another $200 for another (! *!) Vista disc.  I already had to replace the power supply and memory on this Acer upgrade.

  What are my options?

  You can buy a 'Full Version' edition of Windows 7 to Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.
