I own an HP Pavilion laptop. The not easy drive died. If I buy another, will the OS be lost?

It come with Windows XP but no reinstallation discs for the OS. Will everything, adjectives programs, ect. be lost if I put in a unusual Hard drive?


Answer:

Yes, everything that was on the mature drive is now lost (you MIGHT know how to recover some stuff...run it to a professional if you really need to). You can contact your computer businesswoman and ask them to send you the salvage disc.
Yes. You have to start from gash including installing a new OS.
yup. it will adjectives be gone. All the progrmas on the computer are stored on the hard drive. The unmarked one will be blank. You will need a window XP instalation disk. and even then, everything you put on your PC excluding what comes with window will still be gone.
If the disk drive is totally dead and unreadable, after the answer is yes. The OS and all your other programs and notes files are gone for good.
Yes, if you didn't bring back the disks when you purchased the computer...
Yeah! by doing this you are physically removing the disc everything in it will be lost, your programs, OS etc. will be lost.You can approach any purveyor in your locality and ask for a bright copy.

If you are really intend not to lose your data any you must have back it up or u must try to recover the disk near a help of the professional but hang on to in mind u might rest very minimal information
