1349683 2013-07-24 11:19:00 Hey guys, I'm wanting to wipe all the crap off my computer running Windows 7 pro as it's really slow!! somewhere along the line the recovery partition got wiped... :( is it possible to do so easily without it?!

Thanks

1349685 2013-07-24 11:49:00 thanks,is there any other way? i've asked around before and no one seems to have one they could lend me... pct (16854)
1349686 2013-07-24 12:03:00 Without a recovery partition, the only other way would be restore discs that came with the computer... pcuser42 (130)

But you'll still need the COA on your case when you install.

1349690 2013-07-25 14:04:00 just download windows 7 demo/trial (or just get a pirate copy, since you do have a key its fine)
then burn it onto a cd and there you go

1349691 2013-07-25 21:47:00 Why get a demo/trial or pirated copy where you can download an Officicial genuine copy for free? bk T (215)

Not fine at all - you'll find most pirated copies have been played with, mainly around the activation area. Not a good idea at all.

That link that was posted before is the right way forward. Download, burn .ISO to disc, then boot off it and you're away. Remember that you'll need to get drivers for the PC after the install, so make sure you either get them first and save them to a flash drive, or have another means of getting internet access.
