| | Hard Drive Crashed. Clean Install Possible? Hello! Sadly, the hard drive inside my dell inspiron died  I honestly can not get it to work. Windows is unbootable, and another computer can't recognize the drive.So, I was wondering if it was possible to use a Windows 7 .iso to install windows 7 on the new drive. Will the product key on the back of my Dell work? If not, what can I do? Thanks!!! |

| | Hi, Yes, you can install Windows 7 from an ISO, and then activate it using the product key on the COA sticker. This is a useful guide in how to do that: Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 Regards, Golden |
