Presario CQ-60 215DX
While playing with some Linux distros in a dual boot (Win/Linux) scenario, I wound up hosing the Vista install, and the backup image was corrupted.Original restore disks went missing. I was able to download and install Vista from an ISO with no problem until I tried to activate. Apparently, the ISO is a retail version, and I have an OEM version.
I tried to locate the HP recovery files, but HP no longer offers them on this model. Web search also is no help.
If anyone has, or knows where I can find these, I can provide the unit serial number via email or PM.
