Samsung HDD 40gig
XP SP1
"partition" i have no idea in this thing, cause im not really the one who make the formatting
i bring only to the specialist

additional info
the "Recovery Cd" i have here is 7cd's and with number accordingly 1to7If the drive has had something done to the recovery partiton, you will never have any luck with this.

Didn't you believe this advice?

http://computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/152562.htmlim afraid thats the thing i dont like to happen

is there any option in this thing?If the original owner registered the machine with HP you can contact them about a restore CD set that will work. If not, then you need to buy a new copy of Windows.

But wait, it gets worse.

If you don't have a previous copy of Windows (a recovery CD does NOT count), then you (or your friend) have to pay $100 more to get the full version. You will not be able to use the upgrade.nice price (you can buy already a second hand computer P3 here)

we will try to contact the HP here on what they can doWhy is this thread duplicated on a website called Techarena?

This needs to be reported to admin! We have had problems in the past with them stealing threads and responses from CH.Jesus Christ that's spooky, I'm guessing they are stealing our threads and GX1_Man's posts. Note that the same person as GX1_Man on that forum is also an administrator?

I think it's just coincidence.That site has so many ads Yea thats why I like this site, theres no breaks between every handful of posts that disrupts your reading of the thread. lol and it just GIVES a cluttered appearance.If you take time to look through that site, you just might find some of your own posts duplicated. If I remember correctly, that site is located in India. APPARENTLY, they are to stupid to answer question and COME here to get and steal CH material.....could they be sued or something?
