Hello
U
The harddrive on my laptop crashed and I need to know where I can get operating system and driver cds to restore it.
The laptop is a hp15-p051us.
Thanks

Hello @gregmccalla
Do you remember what the operating system was? Was it upgraded to Windows 10 or was it still using 8.1?

If its the original HP recovery you wish to use, you can purchase that from HP at this link. I assume you are in the USA?
This method is easiest but will cost a small fee for the media and delivery.
The drivers download page for your model is here...
Is this what you needed?
or
You could also use the direct ISO file from MS and use a utility like RUFUS to create a usb installer.
