Hard drive replaced

Replaced hard drive in laptop. Now screen still says no media found. Changed boot order on bios and that still doesn't work. Any ideas.

did you install an os?

Hi,

Hopefully you have factory restore disk.

If not, you can download iso file from the internet for windows 7.

If you have windows 8 / 8.1, you can download iso but it's harder to install with OEM laptop.

No factory restore disks. I guess I'll have to get one. I just thought the bios had a copy on it for some reason. Was that true ever ?
Just wondering.

Jeselectric :

No - never did this. The CMOS ROM is much too small to hold a copy of the OS.

What you're prolly thinking of is a hidden, "Restore" partition on the original HDD. That is how most OEMs do it nowadays.

Ok. On my daughters laptop , the hard drive went up. I replaced It with a new one , but it will not read the restore disks.
Meaning , the laptop won't install anything new from the disks. It acts like it is bit nothing happens.
