Help Recovery issue

Hi Everyone

Hoping you are going to be able to help, I've had a comedy of errors! Just got my new laptop HP Envy TouchSmart 15 i7 etc

Thought i'd install an msata, so created a recovery usb (then backed them up on my spare portable HD)

so I was cloning the hard drive in the laptop and creating partitions .... then my laptop crashed an borked all my partitions, so I took out the hd deleted everything and removed the msata.

in the mean time my girlfriend decide to take my usb to save something and deleted my recovery media (still have a copy on my spare usb)

So I decided to install a oem version of windows 8 I had laying around, and started to run into some issues, it would only load via legacy mode?

and when tired to re=install the msata to use a cache drive it won't boot the laptop?

I want to try to restore the factory image from the backup on my spare HD cn turn these files into a bootable DVD? and how?

Thank for your help in advance

If you don't have recovery disks (usually comes with the laptop).. then my suggestion is to maybe hookup the drive to another computer using an HDD enclosure or something and then copy the partition to that computer and make a recovery disk out of it..

EDIT: Or you can contact HP and tell them to send you recovery disks (that's what I would do, cuz that's the easiest option out there)..

 

Hi I decided to buy an mSATA and do a fresh restore on the msata, it now means it's super fast, a pain to set up but works great now.

Ps thanks for your suggestion.
