Pavilion DV7: I don't have to incorrect recovery disks?
I have lost the recovery disks for my laptop. I removed the battery cover and found the LM414AV product number and serial number 5CHXXXXXXX. Using this information, I went to HP.com and place my order for a new set of recovery disks. The next day, while waiting for my order to arrive, I accessed the BIOS screen. The BIOS information showed the same serial number, however, display a number of different product that which was found in the battery compartment. The BIOS displays the number of product LM726AV. Why two different product numbers? I don't have to incorrect recovery disks? I'll be another $ 30 for another set of set of recovery disks? Why no uniformity and consistency? Why all this confusion?
A second set of recovery disks sent to solve the problem... so, 4.5 stars instead of 5

I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?
Hello
There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.
Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.
Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.
p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.
It depends on the old hard drive still works.

On our HP Pavilion dv7-4273US hard drive crashed last week. None of the recovery tools on board work. Installation for Windows media system. We have more disks orginal for this system of 4 to 5 years. Spend many hours on the site of HP support and on the phone with technical support. Failed to get info on how order/buy these discs.
There are many 3rd party sellers on Amazon and eBay which cannot be verified as valid solutions.
Does anyone know how to order these discs?
Hello:
To order a recovery disc for your laptop, click on the link below, select the W7 x 64 operating system from the drop-down list.
Then click to expand the order recovery media line and then click on the blue link for more details.

Hello
I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)
