Windows 7 Recovery after HD crash

[ Edited ]

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

Please use plain text.

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

Hi,

 

I actually recovered 2 laptops last week for my daughter and her husband. I did not need to activate anything. Well I removed all bloathware.
