did your hd crap out on you as it most likely had a 2nd partition which you could have done a system recovery back to factory defaults? check underneath laptop as usually a label there with windows' product key on it.

edit your previous post instead of posting back to back as per forum rules. why didn't the system recovery not system restore work, what did it say?
