I have an HP laptop with Win 8.1 on it, it crashed and when it rebooted I couldn't do any updates, defender wouldn't update, and I could not install or uninstall ANYTHING. I tried to do a clean install of 8.1, no dice. Tried to do a clean install of 7, and now it says it does not recognize the OS at all. There are no recovery discs for it, as you get one download only, the new recovery media is $50 (which is crazy) I have tried EVERYTHING imaginable save for taking it out and burying it for the next ten years. Any help would be appreciated :)

Please listed your spec of laptop here. What is your brand of laptop and how do you formatted it. I need to know what is the exacly detail of the problem because yours is to general and i cant spotted any problem to specific focusing on. It can be you wrong format it or hardware failure.
