Hi

Make, Model and OS please, because - Results for " HP 15 notebook" (36618)

You may be able to get a W8 install disk from here...

Then if you can create/or have Recovery Media try the repair first.

 

If in doubt please ask.

Hi

 

I aint big on Social Media.

 

You have not ID'ed the PC yet.  Nor probably tried the W8.x install disk.

 

You download the .iso file, create a DVD/USB and try the repair option first. 

If that fails ask again.

 

HP Recommended

the disk machine is no longer working

ive tried to download window at usb buh when i plug there is no changes

 

HP Recommended

Sorry but you have a broken machine, and I cannot establish how to fix it.

 

If you have any relevant info to post I will think again.

HP Recommended

mmmmmhhhhhh so usb it can not work???

Hi

 

I really do not know.

 

You go to the Microsoft web page...

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Download a a small exe file    like  ...  MediaCreationTool1803.exe

 

From/With that I can create a DVD/USB or expand it onto a Hard Disk partition.

X:\>dir
 Volume in drive X is Recovery
  Directory of X:\

13/08/2017  12:42    <DIR>          sources
20/03/2017  04:15    <DIR>          support
               4 File(s)      1,679,668 bytes
               5 Dir(s)   1,485,217,792 bytes free

I added HP_Drvrs to mine to simplify things. 

Some times RUFUS is recommended to make a USB.  rufus-3.1p.exe

 

So whether you are able create a bootable USB media or not, I know not.

Whether your machine will boot from a USB I don't know either.
