i want to reinstall windows 7 on my compaq presario cq61 notebook. i was prompted to create 3 recovery disks when i bought the computer, which i did. i want to know, can i reinstall windows 7 from any of these disks or do i need to obtain a windows boot disk from elsewhere (microsoft, i presume)
HP/compaq supply a recovery partition which can be accessed by repeatedly pressing F10 at startup, then follow the instructions. this will reset your machine to the day you bought it, you will all unsaved files.
or you can use the win 7 recovery disk and choose install from image.i hate computers!
but cant help myself....
