Thx, just got off a chat with HP and they told me I would have to purchase new ones for $20 (mine are in storage and I cannot access them right now). Following “Bob

A word of caution: if planning to install win 7 (64-bit Enterprise)have either a – verified – system disk(s) or a (in my case) Vista Home pre 64-bit. Win 7 Enterprise creates a new – 100mb – partition. The partition contains Bitlocker AND the new mbr. You will not get/”see” any errors if you want to perform a reinstall using the system restore disks and/or using a “other” windows dvd disk – the only thing you get is “a big fat Blue screen”. What you must do is to run a System repair using the Win 7 disk, remove the 100 Mb partition continue installing (again) win 7 when getting the option of formatting the disk then DO NOT format your disks! If you do, then the partition is recreated and you have to go through all the steps once more. Just press next and let the win 7 installation run. when the win 7 installation completes, reboot the pc – press F11 and voila; you are able to reset your pc to the state it was before.

I found the above information on a non-microsoft Win 7 web site….after trying to reinstall my new laptop for 5 days (my last 5 vacation days, wife was not impressed..).

Renaming de hpcd.sys on the following places will do the trick

Recovery Partition
Program Files/Sminst

The windows folder is no longer storing the hpcd.sys

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am having a problem in starting my HP Pavilion LapTop, Earlier i had a spyware for which I did the F8 / F10 option and I did installed a fresh copy of the XP from the partioned , after that it was working fine for couple of months, I had tried creating the DIsc after recovering but most of the DVD failed and it never got completed.

Since my Laptop was running slow I tried to do a disk defragmention and it was slow so I did rebooted the system …. and that was the last time when I have seen my comp running .. I tried running in Safe mode, dos mode and the last known configuration … without any luck, so can you please please update me how to recover it thanks a ton in advance.
