PAVILION DV9727CL
Microsoft Windows Vista

iI have a hp pavilion laptop dv9727cl  and I am trying to find the recovery disks for it because my first disk of the 3 got trashed and can not be read by the computer.  So I can not restore my computer.

ANY HELP PLEASE.

Sorry for the bad news, but no one, including HP, has stocked Vista recovery disks for years and years

Hi

You may find a disk on the internet, of dubious heritage.

 

Otherwise repairs etc are not really possible.  

You could try this... https://www.raymond.cc/blog/recover-photo-and-data-from-scratched-or-damaged-cd/

 

But I guess you need an OS initially, Linux Mint may do.

This is then relevant https://askubuntu.com/questions/15827/recovering-files-from-a-corrupt-cd-dvd

 

A lot of effort for an unknown end result.

 

 

OR

Linux Mint Live and see if Gparted can/will recover/repair the partitions on the current HDD.

 

If in doubt please ask.

Hi, @gambillone 

 

You can still order recovery media for your PC from this vendor at the link below...
