I have restored my Compaq Presario CQ61 to factory settings and lost Windows 7 in the process. When I bought the computer it had Windows Vista installed, but came with a free upgrade to Windows 7 which I had to send overseas for. However, when I went to reinstall Windows 7, I discovered that I do have a repair disc that I made, but I seem to have lost the installation disc (I think my husband may have used it to scare birds from a fruit tree!) I have the original packaging though with the product key. I contacted Microsoft to see if I could get a replacement Windows 7 disc, but they told me that due to the fact that the computer distributor issued me with the disc, I have to go back to HP for a replacement disc or download. Can you please tell me how I can either get a download or another disc without having to pay for a new one, or can I download Windows 10 onto this computer instead as I do have a product key for Windows 10. Thank you.

Thank you so much, SherylG for your prompt reply to my question. You have solved my problem and I now have Windows 7 successfully running on my old computer. I must say that for me it wasn't a particularly easy process though. I tried both ways - burning to a CD and downloading to a USB. Both attempts intially failed, but I tried with the USB again and this eventually worked. Thank you again - your help is very much appreciated.

Windows 10 is one of the most stable versions of Windows that serves to serve the best user experience without any failure. The guide will provide complete information about the Windows 10 installation disc, its function, features, and all the other related details.

The Windows 10 installation disc is a data disc that stores the complete files of the Windows 10 system, with startup information, and is used to install Windows 10. This kind of disc was originally one of the Windows operating system installation media released by Microsoft.

The Windows 10 installation disc includes the software copy of Windows 10 that anyone can install on a new blank hard drive or a new PC. The disc also includes a Windows repair tool in the form of an Advanced Recovery tool that can help you fix any Windows issues such as BSOD, unable to boot, and corrupt Windows.

The presence of a Windows 10 installation disc eliminates the requirement for any additional tools. Additionally, since it is always available on a USB or DVD, it makes it easy for anyone to install or repair.

Microsoft supports users to create and use Windows Installation Media to install Windows systems. And it provides the Media Creation Tool to help users speed up the process of Windows 10 ISO downloading.

ISO (Isolation) file is a virtual image file that can copy all the information on the disc. After downloading the Windows 10 ISO file, users can burn ISO to DVD and complete the final installation task.

It is all about Windows 10 installation disc in detail. Windows 10 installation disc is the perfect way to get a complete copy of Windows 10 on your device. It is a solution that assists you in installing new Windows 10 or upgrading the same just by making a few clicks.

Sure, I can upload them to your FTP if you like. I have two CD's. One is the recovery CD you run on your PC when you want to restore your PC from the server. The other is the recovery CD for the server itself. I had to use that because one of the hard drives in the server crashed.

It is NOT intuitive how to run the Server Recovery process. I did manage to get thru to HP and had a tech talk me through it. I wrote all the instructions down so I can send them along, too. Since you have not ever used the server, you would use the "Set to Factory Default" recovery since there is no data you need to save on the Server. You can email your FTP info to me at personal info erased so you won't have to post passwords on a BBS.

and it did not have any drives in it or discs.... so when i went searching the internet for recovery discs i was kinda shocked to find out you can't get them anymore, so while searching the internet i found your post here ... so i would like to ask if would be willing to upload a copy of your cd's as well...i do have Gmail and i also have Dropbox...and i would be willing to compensate you for your time , as i'm trying to set this server up in my home to handle all my tech files that i use for my workbench.

ok...now ...the image file that i downloaded from ya tom didn't work... seems after putting the dvd image back together the server didn't like it...so now i'm gonna need to get a complete DVD image or ISO somehow... and after fighting with the server i finally got the startup routine right...lol so here's what happen...i did the pin thingy and got the server to see the other pc...did the normal stuff untill the server started to read and install the dvd..then it gave me a unknown error when trying to install the IMAGE file... so maybe you know what that would be all i know is i'm prolly gonna need to get a complete copy of the DVD ..as for the other cd's they worked fine

Apparently Dropbox decided too may people were accessing these files so they blocked my account. I've reposted the disk images on Google Drive at the link below. All the other instructions are the sme.

Use CD burning software that will create a CD from an ISO image and you can recreate the HP distribution disks. Scans of the CD labels are included so if you're a neatnick you can print the disk label for the disk.

I am having the exact same problem aswell with this games and have actually tried two separate discs but both encountering the same problem, one time the game started then when went to select race just sat there spinning, had anyone solved this issue yet thanks

I have the excact same problem on Xbox One S. I bought this game 3 times now. Every copy does the same. Stops at 50% and giving me a warning, that the disc is dirty. It wont get further, no matter what i do. Ive tried everything now.

I am having a problem with the Adobe Photoshop cs5 trial. When I go to install it, I can only get to about 30% before it asks me to put in a disc. I don't have the disc! That's why I downloaded the trial! To TRY it before I BUY it. I have tried the installation more than once, and it stops me at the same point every time, asking for me to put in the disc. Here are screenshots to show what I do:

Please help me! I want to use the trial, and hopefully buy it after I test it out, but I will not buy it if I can't get this trial to work! I still need to convine my dad to pay the money to get it; and having tested it out would make a really good case. I have read another person's question, much like this, and someone said to move the installation files to the c:// drive or whatever. I think I have it moved there, and it's still not working :'( Any suggestions I will try, or at least look into! So please comment, and help me figure out what is wrong.

I also suspect that you do not have enough RAM on your computer. Considering your OS, anti-virus, Video card RAM is eating up the RAM pretty quick. This does not include other software running in the background. Then PS CS5 needs RAM in order for it to run and also RAM for it to process what you working on. Having low RAM will cause your hard drive to use virtual memory on your hard drive thus causing it to thrash itself. In other words you will not be happy with PS CS5 performance.

Thanks for replying! I ran it as an administrator; still the same result. It gets to 30% and asks for a disc. Also, I did not realize these errors/warnings showed up aswell; perhaps it is helpful in some way? Should I re-download it?

I suppose it is possible that I do not have enough RAM, but surely it would still be able to install? I don't have much else going on in the background, except firefox. Perhaps I should try closing it for the installation?

Since your are installing from your local disk, the only reason you would be seeing this disk prompt is if you do not have the required files in the installer. I would still recommend downloading the installer again.

I suggest the OP check the BIOS and his Windows Update status. The installer even trying to install 64bit components on a 32bit OS sounds fishy. I suspect that it does so due to an incorrect system DLL for your AMD processor fooling it into thinking it was a 64bit system. You may be able to fix this by installing the right version (may require a manual search in Windows Update) or turning off EMT64 extensions for the processor in the BIOS.

I had the same problem when I was installing CS5 trial on my home computer. I had copied the installation files to a USB drive and was trying to install from there. The way I fixed it was to copy the installation files to C:\ and then restart the installation from there. Problem solved.

The problem with a USB drive is that it is a removable drive and you need to update a configuration file to make this work hence copying to local disk and trying the install works. In this case however the user is trying to install from local disk and still seeing the disk prompt which gives us a reason to believe that the installer is unable to find expected files on the local disk. Exactly the reason why I suggested downloading the installer again and retrying.

I'm not sure why using a removable drive should cause problems (Assuming you don't remove it during the installation). The drive is read/write so there shouldn't be any issue updating configuration files, and installation CDs aren't usually writeable anyway. I assumed that there was an issue related to the drive letter, i.e. the installation program assumed that if it wasn't being installed from C: or D: maybe that it was a CD/DVD drive, hence the message. Is there even any way a program can detect that the drive is removable?

The volume name/label should match what is present in the setup.xml in the installer. Any mismatch would result in prompting for the media. To allow installation from the USB this file needs to be authored so that the volume names in the setup.xml match the actual label.
