Problem:

HDD from a HP Envy 17 crashed.
Replaced HDD
Cannot find recovery CD's
Already tried installing WIN7 Home premium 32 bit but cannot find any drivers.

Anyone that knows a solution?

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Solution
You may have to contact HP

I am sure hp would offer to sell recovery media(normally when you first setup a system, it will ask you to make your own. DVD or USB stick normally).

Downgrades are a bit of a mess at times.

Just had a closer at the laptop.
At the bottom is a tag with Windowsd 8 on it. There was a Win8 supplied with it, but it's just a upgrade version.
Everytime I try to enter the key, it says that it cannot accept the key because it's just a upgrade version.
