I need recovery discs

My screen is not operating properly. It is like looking through a thick fog. I want to send it to a repair service, but they say that I need to include recovery discs to have my operating systeme reinstalled. I am running OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Help ... either with fixing the screen, or getting recovery discs.
Thanks you

If you are running 10.8.5 you should have a built-in recovery system that is accessible by pressing and holding Command and R while starting the computer. No discs necessary.

Does my new Macbook need recovery discs?

Hi, just bought a new Macbook and I think I recall the salesman saying something about making my own recovery discs (to restore the original factory settings on the computer in an emergency).
I couldn't find a recovery disc in the box so I figure I do have to make it myself. I was wondering how one goes about making a recovery disc? Is there a utility in OS X?

All new Macs come with a set of Software Restore discs and an OS X Installer Disc. If these were not present in your box then they were either omitted at the factory or you overlooked them in the shipping box. If the computer was in a box that had already been opened, then someone removed them. In any case you are entitled to these discs. Go to the dealer and insist on receiving what was missing from your purchase. There should be no charge for this.
The Software Restore discs are all you need for recovery. There is no need to make a special recovery disc. However, you should maintain a backup of your startup volume and personal files.

Recovery disc for Equium M70 needed

I have tried to recover my Equium M70-337 using the product recovery cd that was shipped with it, but this is corrupt and I now have a blank laptop.
Where can I get a new recovery disc from? The laptop is too old for me to be able to order one from Toshiba.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This notebook model is too old and you will probably not be able to order new recovery disc.
What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask if they have one that can borrow you for testing purposes.
You can also use Microsoft WXP installation disc for OS installation. All necessary drivers you can find on Toshiba download page so you don't need recovery disc.
If you need some help about it let me know.

HP Touchsmart 600 - 1050 PC Recovery Disc or Media NEEDED as soon as possible

1/10/15
I am praying for FAVOR with HP (Supervisor) and that you can HELP me!
I MISS my desktop, I am typing from my old HP compaq laptop, running Windows XP.
I have a out of warranty -
HP Touchsmart 600 PC (600-1050)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits.
Product number NY538AA-ABA.
Software build number 94nav6pra5.
Service ID # 041-410
Any other information needed, just let me know.
I desparately need the one time HP RECOVERY DISC, USB Recovery Media or information on a harddrive.
I am willing to purchase, if it is a reasonable price, because of limited monthly income.
When I bought this computer, i tried to burn the recovery DVD's, but they never burned and then I forgot about calling HP.
By this time I was too sick to call and this year (2014 / 2015) is the first time in three - four years that I feel more like my normal self.
What happened? Right before Christmas 2014, I downloaded a CD for a present and now my hard drive is badly corrupted or has totally crashed (maybe loosing all my pictures and documents).
I have the pay monthly HP Smartfriend service. HP has worked by remote on this computer several times, trying to help me get it back running properly.You may be able to access their records to get information needed to help me .
Now, the computer will NOT move pass the HP Splashscreen with clicking noise!
*** Due to the past few years of health issues, surgery and medical expenses, I can NOT buy a "new" computer at this time!
I want to at least TRY to get this computer restored and running for two more years!
I am willing to spend few dollars ($50.00 - $75.00) to replace this harddrive and with the recovery media than to spend several hundred dollars at this time!
I have NEW email address and cellphone number, but did not want to post it here, public.
I don't know how to change it in this forum, but I will try to figure it out so you can contact me and mail this to me right away!
Let this be my 2014 / 2015 Christmas Present!
Your help is GREATLY appreciated!

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook help ASAP!!!

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook so I can format and re-install the default operating system. I have lost the original recovery disc that came with my MacBook years ago. Can anybody tell me how and where I can order one from?
Also, I do have the original recorvery disc that came with my MacBook Pro, could I not just use this or would it not be compatible?
Help ASAP please...
Thank you!

For a fee, you could likely order a replacement install-restore DVD for your MacBook. To get the correct disc(s) and match the hardware to the system, you need to know and have the serial number of the product handy, and be able to answer some basic questions; and have a form of payment, such as credit card.
Call the Apple Store online (main US number, 1-800-MY-APPLE) or the main Apple Support number for US, 1-800-275-2273.
Or if you're in another country, you could try calling a Local in-country support number and ask, since they may have to redirect your call to another associate. See link below for Support phone numbers.
An operating systems specialist or other qualified person will be able to try & help obtain the correct disc or disc set; if the computer original gray-label set is no longer available, they may be able to check their extensive database against your product serial number to see if they may have another full install disc that can work.
This other option, if it happens, based on your MacBook serial number and build model identifier, could be slightly newer than the OS X version shipped with the MacBook, and not be gray-labeled.
A replacement install disc in retail version would not include any original MacBook applications, while a gray-label disc set should have most of them as part of a multiple DVD set, if available.
•Contact Apple for Support & Service

Hopefully this helps resolve the issue.
Good luck & happy computing!

Need help on recovery discs

I have a Pavilion dv6-1360us and recently had to install a new hdd due to the old one failing. i ordered the recovery disc from hp and went to install it. when it asked for the second disc it wouldnt load. this is for windows 7 64bit. Now all it does when i turn it on is show the windpows is loading files screen. then the starting windows screen. from there it shows a grey screen and u can hear the cdrom drive reading the disc but it just goes back to the begin with the windows loading files screen. Any information would be awesome. thanks!

Can you read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key attached to bottom of laptop? If so you can download Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and listed on the Microsoft COA sticker.
You can use the Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable DVD or USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
Then go to your support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

If not, you can install W7 following the guidance below if you can read the 25 character W7 product key on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn as ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Need Win 7 recovery discs for new hard drive

I am not sure which Windows 7 Operating system my laptop had, but I need the recovery discs to put Windows 7 back on my HP dv6-6167cl notebook.
My original issue was that my notebook was unable to restore or anything on its own. After calling HP support and performing a guided diagnostics test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad. I purchased a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 back on it.
Thanks!

Greetings,
I purchased a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook about 7 or 8 years ago, and it recently crashed on me.

I seem to have lost my recovery and drivers disc and now, I need help acquiring another recovery disc.
The model of my notebook is:
HP Pavilion d6000
AMD Turion 64
Windows XP
s/n: {Removed for privacy}
p/n: RG253UA#ABA
I need a recovery disc with the OS and drivers for my notebook. I am aware I will probably have to pay for one. Any help out there? Thanks in advance forum!

Hi:
You have a HP Pavilion dv6105us Notebook PC.
You can try calling HP at one of these 2 numbers to see if you can get a set of recovery disks from them.
800-474-6836 or 888-999-4747.
If you can't get them from HP anymore, you can get them from this 3rd party vendor for $27 + shipping.

The drivers and all need to be installed for which recovery disc is required.

Need to format my Equium A110-280 but have no recovery disc

As the subject says , i have no disc and need to reinstall my computer how to proceed?
I've googled for hours now so a answer would have been great :)
/Martin

I dont think you will get original recovery disc for this old notebook model.
I recommend you to install own WXP using original Microsoft installation disc.
Al necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can download from Toshiba support and download page.
This old notebook model you can find in Archive.
If you need more help you are welcome.
