HP Pavilion Corrupted Recovery Partition -CDs Obtainable?
I've got a problem following an attempted system recovery on my HP Pavilion 410, which is about 7 years old (running XP home). It appears that the recovery data (on a partition on the Hard Drive) is corrupted. Recovery CDs are no longer available form HP or from the 3rd party company recommended on the HP website. Can I get them anywhere? If not, is there any possible substitute? I have recovery CDs for an HP laptop of similar age and spec (a bit newer) -would it be worth trying to use them or would I make the problem worse?
The machine won't work at all -I get the Windows screen, then the one saying 'windows didn't start right last time', which then sends me round in circles whichever options I take. I'd be grateful for any advice. |

An alternative would be to buy XP (or Vista for that matter). Will cost you but it is an investment of sorts. Recovery CDs tend to be matched to particular models/makes.
