Failed HD - Lost restore partition. What are my options?
The hard drive in my GF’s laptop pooched. Lost everything including the restore partition of Win 7. Contacted the manufacture about replacement discs but they are giving me grief about it being out of warranty – the laptop is 5+ years old. Just do not want to deal with them anymore. Outside purchasing another version of Windows, what are my options? I do have a legit OEM Win 7 key
