Not able to re - install the operating system

Hello

It's on HP Pavilion DV6 laptop.

The laptop has been infected with virus & I had to re - install windows 7.

I used the recovery disc bought from HP which had 2 drives.

During installation, the first disc has been successfully read & when you are prompted for the 2nd, 2nd disc has been inserted. Once this system has continued to recognize the drive. So I had to restart the installation process. But the system does not recognize the discs. Used XP bootable drive also, but it does not work.

PL let me know what needs to be done here.

Hi, Vineet:

You will need to go through several steps in order to get a XP disc to work on your relatively modern PC.

Sometimes the recovery disks do not work and there is nothing you can do about it. Who knows why?

Here is a workaround that you can use if you can read your 25-character windows product key 7.

If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
