I do that at work all the time, if your actually able to boot from those disks on the packerd bell you be fine. Problem is unless that hp disk is an OEM copy (Which, if it doesn't include drivers it prolly is..so your lucky with that) It'll just tell you that the packerd bell isn't the right computer for those disks.

No harm can come from trying either way, if your able to boot from the disks and get into the windows setup..your fine. You'll have to hunt down the drivers online, which isn't fun at all. (You will -NEED- another computer with an active internet connection to get the drivers, since when you format/reinstall your NIC drivers will be gone. Meaning you won't be able to get onto the internet untill you reinstall then.) ^^

is there a way i can get the drivers and all that off this computer ??
if i can how? lol

Before you format put all the drivers you need on to a blank disc.

Then when you reformat simply put the disc in and reinstall them.

so that will work lol well i have repaired windows using this disc and it has worked fine i don't know if that means it will work but it's got to be a good thing right?

edit: this is the reason why i would like to format it

my harddrive should be 80 but look it only says 22!?!?!


have u seen anythink like this before i have look on the internet but it did not help
