Windows 7 Recovery after HD crash [ Edited ]

[TXGoose]

My hard drive crashed, hence no recovery partition. How can I reload Windows 7 onto a blank drive?

Hi,

Well, looks like you need a new set of Recovery DVD's. You can order a new set from the following link:

Will this need a key to activate? I have a similar problem but the key is worn off the sticker.

Thanks
