Need help installing Win 7 on blank HD
Hello,
I had a computer that got some kind of virus because I tried to start it up one day and it told me that it could not find \boot\bcd. To make a long story short, it couldn't be fixed & I pulled the hard drive out of the computer, hooked it up to another, and reformatted the drive. I cant reinstall from the recovery partition because it was bad too and got wiped. What I want to know is if there is a way to get windows 7 installed back on the HDD? I don't have install disks since my computer didn't come with one. I have a verification key that came with the computer, so can I download windows 7 from somewhere and install it (without having to pay for it)? Can I take win7 from my other computer and somehow install it on the drive?
Thanks
PS I am looking for a legitimate source if it can be downloaded. I don't want info on pirated stuff.
