Hello,

I have this brand new PC but i screwed it up quickly. I bought Gta 4 from Steam and downloaded it . Everything was okay but when i downloaded the Gta 4 complete edition also it popped up something like "Remove Windows Live" and i quickly clicked "Remove". Then i was looking for ways to download Windows Live and Google made me go in "Recovery Manager" and "Program Reinstallation". It started reinstalling but i wasnt sure what that is so i turned my PC off and since then when i turn it on it pops "Please download operating system from your hard disk " and i only have 4 options like Exit, Language , Hard disk test . Ive made all tests and waited 30 minutes each and nothing happened.

Hi:

 

If you bought a new notebook, most likely it is supported by the HP cloud recovery client utility.

 

You can use that to create a bootable recovery drive to restore your hard drive.

 

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...

Im sorrt but this wasnt very helpful.  My pc it wont even open to the desktop.  I get a black screen with a blue bar in the middle with 4 options that are pretty much Hard drive test and etc

I'm sorry too.

 

I guess I assumed that you would know that in order to use the cloud recovery client utility, you would need to have access to another working Windows PC.

 

I can't help you with how to get your PC working without a recovery drive.
