HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion HPE h8-1234
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
My hard drive has failed and I didn't create recovery discs. I searched the HP site and found my product but no recovery discs were available for Windows 7. They did have recovery media available for my product for Windows 8 but when I tried to navigate the site further, I got a "blank page" ( and I'm not even sure I would be able to use Windows 8 since that wasn't what was installed originally)

At this point I am just trying to figure out what my options are for getting a working operating system onto a new hard drive so my computer is useable. I would prefer to find a way to access the software I had originally at as low cost as possible but if not what are my other options?
