G 62–144 DX notebook
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
I am on vacation and do not have the boot recovery disk for a corrupted windows seven operating system.
I have an old HP G 62–144 DX Notebook that Hewlet Packard no longer supports. My operating system will not boot so I cannot even get to the system recovery options.
Is there anyone out there who has access to a recovery disk that could help me?

Hi:

 

You can still order a recovery disk set from this non-HP vendor...

Yes, I see a lot of venders on the Internet Who want to sell you a "solution"
You can also Google the complaints section to see that many of them just take your money and not solve the problem.

I am hoping to find someone here who actually knows how to solve this and who I can trust with a recovery disk that they can download directly to me

Can you still read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on your PC's case?

 

if so, I can send you a link to download a plain version of W7 Home Premium 64 bit.

 

If not, no one here will be able to help you, and your only option would be to order the recovery disks.

 

You can't download a recovery disk set.

 

The place I linked you to buys the disks from HP when HP decides to no longer sell the recovery disks directly.

GREAT

Yes, when I called the HP company, they said my computer was too old and they no longer have this.

The product number is WA912 UA#ABA

The serial number is CNF0048 LTC

OK, if you can read the 25 characters of the W7 product key, here is the link to the W7 64 bit ISO download.

 

The link will be good for 24 hours from when this was posted.

 

https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win7_HomePrem_SP1_English_COEM_x64.iso?t=80926f89-35a0-4f...

 

Then you can use this tool to transfer the file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or DVD.

 

The tool will make either media bootable.

Or you can use your DVD burning program to burn the ISO file to a DVD.  Use the Burn ISO option.

Well, I thank you for your effort. However, I tried three times to do this download – – waiting once for three hours for it to complete – – even using a couple of different computers – – and even asked a couple of my friends to try to do it.

No success.

You're very welcome.

 

Sorry the file isn't downloading for you.

 

It downloads for me just fine.

 

You may want to give it another go...I've posted a new link good for 24 hours.

Well, I tried quite a few times.

However, your link does not work.

Instead, I get the cryptic message of: Forbidden 403
HP Recommended

I guess you are going to have to order the recovery disk set then.

 

During the 24 hour window, I have no problem whatsoever downloading the 3.09 GB file completely in less than 10 minutes.
