Can you please explain what you think happened to your laptop? <br/>Did it have Windows 7? How old was it?<br/>If the laptop had a major failure with the HDD, doing a reformat does not eliminate then problem. Did you not try the restore or repair features of the laptop? Did it have a recovery partition?<br/><br/>@Geek- 9pm : My laptop suddenly went extremely slow. I had windows 8.1 recently installed . So I decided to format and install 8. After formatting when I tried to install windows 8 , It took much long time than usual and not even installed successfully . Installation process was very slow and stucked at midway(in expanding windows files while installation) . Now whenever I try to install windows it stucks at midway. I does not have recovery partition. Can you suggest me anything?In other words, you had a warning that something was wrong and nyou ndecided to try Windows 8. In general, installing a new OS is not the best way to isolate a possible hardware issue.<br/><br/>Frankly, the best recommendation is to get another hard drive and try to install the same OS you had before. It does not have to be a new drive, just one that works. The failure rate of Hard drives is not easy to determine. Sometimes they go for years. When you system slows down, that is often a sign of coming HDD failure.<br/><br/>A quick check on eBay has Fujitsu 120 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gb-467864" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GB">GB</a> Internal 5400 RPM,2.5" for about $20 and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/come-409636" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COME">COME</a> with a 14 day return policy. That is a whole lot cheaper than going to a local technician, if you live in California.Where is this Win8 DVD from ? ?Ok . Thanks to all for replying . There was a problem with my HDD . So I have replaced it it with new one .
