Pavilion g series
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

***I DO NOT HAVE THE WINDOWS INSTALLATION DISK

No idea what I’m doing, not sure if it’s 32bit or 64 bit or what that even means 😬. Can’t get  my pavilion g series laptop to work. Was fine yesterday morning but went to turn it on last night and started up but stuck on black screen. Had a look on google and managed to do some things. Tried to turn it on again, clicked the option to restart with the repair option but now it’s stuck on the light blue screen. Any advice on what’s wrong or more importantly how do I get all my stuff off the laptop before it’s lost forever. Tia

@CHANNING2 Welcome to HP Community!

 

  • When was it working before?
  • Is there any specific bluescreen error message?

 

Please perform the hard drive test and let me know.

 

If the hard drive test is passed, the issue with the operating system. You have to reinstall the operating system.

 

Please refer to the following link for cloud recovery.

 

Note: performing the recovery you will lose the personal data.

 

Keep us posted,

It failed the hard drive test. I need to know how to remove software and all files etc installed on the laptop when I can’t get it to start up
