Good day,

 

Son's Hard Drive failed and no recovery disk or USB was created. Where can I locate a hard copy of the recovery disks?

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, Recovery Media is only available for the original version of Windows the the PC originally came with - against the 'Selected operating system' in the blue banner, if you click the Change link, then select Windows 8 from the dropdown menu and click the Change button, you should find the 'Order Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB' option.

Hi,

 

You should still be able to order this from HP starting on the software/drivers page below.

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-p7-1400-desktop-pc-series/5295962/model...

 

An alternative source would be the 3rd party retailer on the following link.
