system drive is corrupt, how to replace it and recover the system?

‎11-12-2009 05:32 AM

Hello,

 

since yesterday my HP Pavillion pc is sometimes very slow (cannot move mouse for minutes), or completly freezing. I started the HP health check and it tells me that there is a problem with the system drive.

 

I need this pc for work and want to fix this problem quick without bringing the pc back to the shop. I wanted to replace the corrupt harddrive, and recover/install the preinstalled vista on another drive. Is this possible?

Sven, what is the model of your computer ?  I asked for it in your other thread, but it will be good to have it here, also.  Did you make the System Recovery discs?  The answer to your question is yes with the System Recovery discs.
