Pavilion ZV5000
Microsoft Windows XP

Hi!  I replace the HD and I want I need the software to install the Original Windows XP  (note1). As this machine rum 64 bits, I want to install a Windows XP 64 bits (if possible? is the original vertion 64?). As I live in Brazil, the Portuguese Language is appreciated! Where can I acquire a recovery disk?

Note 1: Windows 7 can't be installed by IDE interface and Windows Vista is heavy to run on it.

Thank you by read my request to all!

To be honest, that is almost certainly NOT going to happen!  Why? Because to reinstall the original OS requires something known as HP Recovery Media, which is a set of disks, and HP has not carried XP-era disks for years and years now.  In addition, the other sites that have carried such media also stopped carrying it years ago.  So, there is no place now where you can get this.

I  can told that I was surprised that  notebook ZV500 return to operate after I  let at technical assistance "PCNET in Brazil" to try to repair! The technitian explain to me that he remove the cooler, replace the thermal past and clean the heatsink!  ONLY IT!
