Hard Drive Fail...need help with new hard drive...can't find windows 7 download

[Freepears]

Hello,

My Hard Drive has failed, I have purchased another one however I am having trouble getting a copy of window's 7 to re-install.  Does someone know what to do?  When I go to windows site it says my product key it says

"The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options"

can't find a download on the HP site...can't seem to find live chat anymore either?

Help!

Hi:

HP does not offer recovery media for download.  You have to purchase a set of recovery disks which you can do at the link below.

Alternatively, this site claims to have genuine, unadulterated W7 ISO files for download.

Click on the link labeled Windows ISO Downloader.exe

You can use either the:

Win 7 Home Premium/Pro (as applicable) SP1 or the (Retail version, but the OEM key on your PC's case will work with it)

Win 7 Home Premium/Pro (as applicable) SP1 COEM (This version would be for what HP would have used--System Builder)

N is for European countries.

K is for South Korean markets.

You can use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or DVD.
