I bought a used laptop and it had a reformated hard drive. I don't have the recovery cd that is needed to reload windows. HP won't send me a recovery CD without certificate. Any Ideas of how i can restore windows. The cd rom is recognized when I put a windows startup disk in but setup will not load windows. The note book is an HP Omnibook xe/da. Any help would be appreciated.
