Hello guys, i would appreciate if you can help with this problem. i have an ASUS k60ij and replaced the hard drive because it died, i bought a samsung 840 ssd to replace it, however when i tried to recover windows using the dvd provided by ASUS it asks for the language and for the partition to install windows on, after the selection is done it starts the process, but suddenly i get a screen with this "ERROR" it covers the whole screen in red letters. A friend of mine lend me a copy of his windows seven ultimate and the installation was smooth and i was able to boot into windows, but i don't have a key for 7 ultimate and i am not planning on purchasing one. i would like to know what could be the issue and what can i do to fix it, thanks in advance.

That can have a number of causes, this thread might help: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/415459-error-c-recovery-dat.html
You can also fresh install (just google 'legal windows 7 iso') using the key on your COA sticker. Then get your drivers & apps from ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download -

It worked, thank you so much for your help allurgroceries, i just needed to delete every single partition and recover to entire hdd, i used the windows 7 ultimate retail edition to delete the partitions and unify them into one and after that i just inserted the recovery dvd and restored to entire hdd, i was doing it to first partition only, apparently it was corrupted hence it gave the error
