HP Pavilion g6-1b60us Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Have a HP Pavilion g6-1b60us Notebook PC I bought in 2011.  It was registered with HP but now shows I have no account.  The issue is I had to change the settings of my networtk to resolve an issue with some hardware I was using.  Now I cannot get it back.  Therefore I have no internet connection.  I ahd disk with oeprating system at one time but cannot find it now.  Was hoping to download from HP but, it says nothing is available.  Any ideas on how I can get a recovery disk for my laptop?

Hi:

 

There are a couple of things you can do...

 

1. HP no longer sells recovery media for that model series, but you can still order a kit from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

2. If you can still read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on your notebook's case, you can make your own plain W7 installation media and save $27.00 + shipping.

 

Click on the Windows ISO Downloader.exe link to download the tool to create the W7 ISO file download.

 

Select the W7 COEM ISO file download version for the product key the OS is good for, which is the OEM operating system ISO file.

I have zipped up and attached the Microsoft utility below, that will allow you to either put the file on a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD.

 

Then you can install the drivers and available software you need from your PC's support page.

If the Microsoft tool doesn't work to burn a DVD, use this free DVD burning software to burn the ISO file to a DVD.

 

 Select the "Burn ISO file option."

Burn it at the slowest speed you can.
