ok, so I was stupid and didn't make recovery cds from my daughters toshiba or if I made them , I can't find the....she started getting a hard drive error, but it was too late, I tried to burn recovery media but it kept giving an error, I was able to back up files, though before it wouldn't work. I bought a new hard drive and installed it, but how can I get windows 7 on the new hard drive. I hooked up the old hard drive using sata to usb cables and on a working computer I can still see all the files and programs on the old hard drive including the oem windows product key....is there a way to manually extract all the correct files to make a bootable cd/usb?? I know I can order recovery disks from toshiba but they want $30 plus shipping..and I am cheap and don't want to pay for information that I already have but can't get to.....Please help!!!!
thanks
