Greetings to all...I will be purchasing a new hard drive for my HP Laptop. Prior to my hard drive

‎06-20-2012 04:43 PM

crashing I made a system recovery disc which ended up being 25 discs.  My question is once I put

in my new hard drive will those 25 discs include the Windows Vista Home edition that was on my

previous hard drive or do I have to purchase a new operating system?  Thanks in advance for any and all help :smileyhappy:

Hi:

 

That would be the hope.

 

Perhaps you should have used DVD's and then you wouldn't have had to make so many disks.

 

If that doesn't work, you may be able to get recovery disks for your PC, by reading the info at the link below.
