Can I use my Mini 200 for anything without Recovery Disk?

Hi,
I´ve got Mini 200-4200. Few months back I had a hard disk failure and a new one was sent by the warranty. I´m abroad though, so it was sent to my friend, who sent it to me, in Nicaragua. The Hard Disk arrived, BUT the recover USB stick not. (they came separately on post, so he posted them to me separately too)... 7 weeks of waiting for post..I think it will not arrive before I leave the country in 6 days and continue travelling. 
I´m not a computer person, so the questions might be a bit odd ->
Is there any possibility to do ANYTHING with my Mini (except put it to post and send it back to europe) ???????? I suppose there is no chance to do recovery by connecting with usb to another computer and deal with it online? .... 
Thanks,
Maire

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
I can assuming you are refering to the HP Mini 200-4200ea Netbook Computer - p/n B8H26EA but this is only a guess, as there are about 73 Mini 200-4200 models available.
It may be possible to download a Windows 7 ISO from Digital River, a Microsoft hosting partner, and place a boot image on a USB stick. Please see this HP forum thread entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instruction on downloading and creating a bootable Windows 7 media. The only problem I see, is there doesn't appear to be a "Windows Starter" image available. One side note... you can install any version you would like on a trial basis... you would have a full 30 days to use Windows before it requires you to enter a valid key. This will get you up and running for the time being.
Please send KUDOs

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • How can I use app find iPod  for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

    How can I use app find iPod  for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

    Hi,
    So far so good! I was successful with my first request-and thanks, but I guess i did not ask enough.
    New question: Is there any way for me to have my Apple devices show up with my daughters even though we have different apple id's? I was able to have her sign in and I could see but, if she doesn't sign in I can't see her device. She is only 15 and I going on a trip soon that I would like to just have security if she looses her device or I'll know she is okay. I don't want to sync and see everything, just the where abouts of the device. We were able to create a music folder for her music only and not mine- Success!
    Did I ask too much?
    Thanks for your quick reply!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • HT4436 My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

    No.

    That's exactly what can happen.
    Apple says don't do it.
