I have a HP G36CA Laptop, the problem with it is that recently it went hey-wire and was acting slow very very slow as well as some odd things ended up happening such as admin password being asked during program installation and the password was not the
same as I always use to login as this was my own Laptop only used by me so I was the only admin on it. In any event, one day I had enough of this **** and slowness I choose to restore it to factory state with possibility of getting rid of inability to install
programs and possibly increase speed. But I was dead wrong, this move actual revealed that for some odd reason the recovery partition was not being read while it was clearly showing up if I was logged in. And because I do not have a recovery CD or anything
with Windows 7 on it there is no way for restoring it other then possibly obtaining a downloadable ISO which I can burn onto CD/DVD and using the key on the Windows 7 sticker re-install the system. Meanwhile I am using Ubuntu 12.10 as an alternative. Any suggestions
as to how I can possibly get Windows 7 back onto the machine? Or would I need to find an ISO and just use the key to do the trick? Thanks in advance.
