Title: HP Pavilion a1260a recovery disks needed!
Post by: Astral on October 31, 2009, 08:46:35 PM

I've got a HP Pavilion a1260a I would like a set of recovery disks for. I haven't been successful through various net searches. Can anyone help out at all with a link or even able to supply some?

Recover what ?

Are you wanting to re-install the machine (wipe it) or it won't boot etc ?

Thanks for the link, but it won't do the job.

The state the computer is in, I need recovery disks to return to factory specs.
