I dropped my 4 year old HP G60t-600 laptop which caused my hard drive to fail. I am able to start the computer but all programs give the 'program not responding' message before starting, and then perform on a very limited basis. I ordered recovery disks from HP and am in the process of ordering a new hard drive. So I have the following questions:
A) will the recovery disks have Windows 7, which is the OS it came with when I bought the laptop directly from HP.com. What about MS Office? FYI, I have the Windows proof of license/certificate of authenticity sticker
B) if not, can I get them off of the old hard drive? Unfortunately the drive won't let do a back up, so I don't see how it's of any use.
C) which brand of hard drive should I buy? I've seen comparable HDs as low as $55 and as high as $400, same size and speed etc.
My apologies if my questions are moronic
or there's not enough info to go on, I'm happy to provide more details. Any advice is most appreciated.
