Hi,
I just bought a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b001ee 5 days ago.
It had a basic w8 but i needed domain so I (quite foolishly) formatted the drive including the recovery drive to install a win 7 ultimate. The install was unsuccessful as it said that "hardware is not compatible with windows 7".
So now I have a machine without an OS. I wanted to know is there any way i can download a bootable version of w8 that can detect my embedded key and help me get the OS back on the system. (I can live without the windows domain function)
I really dont want to go into the hassle of contacting the vender and wait days and days for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
