I have a HP lapper that i nuked the hdd with Darik. I killed off the partion that had the recovery info along with everything else. lol. It came with win7, I have no discs but a repair disc I made b4 I nuked., So im dead as far as software is concerned. I do not mind buyin win 7, aslong as she will take it. I also have another win 7 lapper that I can prolly copy files off of if needed.

As of now she boots up to the X: prompt and I cant do anything with her. I cant seem to find the C drive at all. Off in space somewhere. Can she be fixed, or toss it and buy another on LOL

TIA

Mike

there's no need to copy and paste the same thread in two subforums.
