I own an Asus Q500A, bought approximately 11 months ago from Best Buy. My hard drive failed last month due to unknown causes. However, I decided to not use the warranty and simply upgrade my hard drive to a 7200RPM. My HD came in yesterday and I installed it into the laptop, but now I do not have any OS on it.

My laptop came with no Windows 8 CD, it was simply built in. How could I install my original Windows 8 on it? I do not have access to any other computers and without an OS, of course, I am unable to get past the BIOS.

Your best bet is to look at the product ID at the bottom. Contact Microsoft and tr to file a claim with them, I was able to do that once no questions asked. They will make a disk image and email it to you.
