Hi everyone. I have a 4 year old hp-dv7 laptop (Win 7) and it had been operating pretty slow. So I got a 120GB SSD in attempt to replace the system HDD. The computer came with two 500G HDD.
So far I have made a recovery disc, and removed all hard drives from the computer and installed the HDD in disk 0 bay. The computer would boot with recovery CD but provides error saying:
"This version of System Recovery Options is not comptible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows."
I am wondering whether this error occurred because the laptop specs loaded on the recovery disc realizes the mismatch of the hard drive, or the problem occurred because previously I have cloned a Win XP on to this 120G HDD but didn't do a clean enough disk formatting.
I would greatly appreciate your help here because I am really hopeless and desperate to make progress. Thank you.
