System Restoration Incomplete when trying to re-install Windows 7
Hi all,
I hope you can help me with my issue. I have a HP Compaq Pressario CQ61 laptop that came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on it. Recently I decided to try ubuntu but after a while realized Windows is more my thing. I tried using the recovery DVDs (the ones I made myself after purchasing the laptop) to re-install Windows back on it and after going through all 3 DVDs it asked me to re-boot and then gave me the restoration incomplete error. I have used the disks before and the process worked but for some reason now it fails.
I would like to know what my options are and what can be done because I would really like Windows 7 back. Oh, using a version that is online to re-install and then using my COA sticker for product ID is not really an option because the sticker is faded beyond ability to decipher the characters and in my infinite wisdom I didn't write it down .
Thanks in advance for your help.
