My father gifted me a hp notebook G42 and i was so excited that i couldn't keep it away i installed many useful apps and it was perfect... but slowly it became slow..... And later when i started my laptop the taskbar became grey in color and i think it turned into windows 6.1... And so i restarted it and tried to connect to the internet it showed some internal error

I restarted my notebook wer it showed please insert your windows insatallation disc and restatrt your computer - choose your language settings and click next - click repair your computer...

i dont know how to reinstall it
can you pls send screenshots of the steps


THANKS IN ADVANCE.....
 
First of all, there is no Windows 6.1. Secondly, it sounds like you have a virus or malware infection. Third, do you have a Windows 7 installation disc or is there a recovery partition? You can see if there is a recovery partition by opening windows explorer and looking at the drives listed on the left. If you have one there should be a drive named "Recovery" or something similar.
