Which recovery dvd to get for my HP 2000 laptop with Windows 8

Hello again.  I recently posted re: an HP 2000 laptop that is really bad off.  It appears to be full of viruses, and is missing so much that I cannot even do a refresh.   If I try it states unable to complete, etc. as files missing.  Also, the program 24x7 help seems to have taken over, but if I try to remove it, it states it is no longer there.   Let's just say I may be a newbie at a lot of this, but I have been able to get other machines back to normal, and this no.  Needless to say I contacted HP and it is no longer under warranty.  They stated for 99.00 for I believe 1-2 hours that a tech would help me out over the phone, or for something like 14.99/month I could sign up for tech support.  I just want a restore dvd/thumb drive, and I asked, but NEVER offered.  I really believe I can get this machine working properly again, but will have to look elsewhere for restore media.  Some of you may scoff at this, but I have found numerous HP restore dvd's on Ebay.   The machine has Windows 8 64 bit, but a lot of the HP dvd's I have found are Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.  The HP 2000 does not state anywhere if it has Pro, etc. on it, so will one of these dvd's help me get this thing back to square one?  I realize all personal stuff, etc. will be wiped out, but it is a no go as it sits anyway.  Also, when I have tried to find the drivers on this site for the specific model/product number or this HP 2000 I am trying to fix I get nowhere.  An suggestions there?   Thank you very much in advance for any help/advice.  FYI, I am not going to call HP support again, so I need other options.   Thanks.

Hello Paul.  Thank you for the information.  I must have typed the the model number wrong last time.  I tried again, and got to the page you mentioned.  It does not state anywhere if I can request as a dvd, or thumb drive.  Do you know if there is a way to specify?  I would prefer in thumb drive format myself.  It's $31.00, but if it gets the machine up and running well worth it.  Thanks again!

  • I have a sony laptop with windows 7 (64 bit) which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But the machine had to be formatted and this time loaded windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried itunes for 32bit win 8 as well as for 64bit win 8 but none is getting installed

    I have a sony laptop with window 7 64 bit initially which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But due to formatting later, I had to reinstall the windows and this time I installed windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried installing iTunes for 64 bit windows 8 as well as 32 bit Windows 8 but none of them is getting installed. The message I get is, "this programme is not compatible for your pc" (or words to that affect since I dont remember the exact words but this is the meaning).
    Can some body send me the link to the right file please. I need iTunes to transfer files from my iPod and iPhone to my laptop.

  • HT1635 How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
    Or OWC  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • HT4623 I have an apple ID account with $25.00, I purchased an kids game app {plants vs zombies},  the app shows up as purchased and downloaded but I can't get it to start. I'm using an Hp laptop with Windows 8.

    I hav an apple ID account with balance of $25,00. I used .99 to buy gameapp for grandson. We also downloaded a freebie or two. The games show up under the apps purchased.  However I can not get the games to start using my HP laptop with windows 8.  Any suggestions on how to play games purchase thru the Apple App Store but played on android deices.? Tkx

    You can only use apps from iTunes on iPhone devices.
    If you want apps for Android devices then you'll need to download the app on the Google Play Store on your Android devices.
    If you don't have the Google Play Store you could dowload if from Google.
    Windows 8 also has there own App Store.

  • How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

    Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ? 
    I'll keep looking around. 
    Steve

    If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
    But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
    If  you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.
