Hello.. My Laptop got crashed and prompting to use the OS disc for repair. Does this disc solve my problem? I am using a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

Of course it will solve your problem if it got nothing to do with your hard drive. It work for me, I'm using windows 7 professional 64 Bit.

NO! I wondered the same after I received it, good thing it crashed due to shipping or I wouldn't have gotten a refund.... Btw windows 8 blows....

Stop trying to install it. It wrecked my computer, and I had to reinstall the OS.

Contact ASUS support to find out your warranty options or if they can send you a recovery disc. It may cost extra. The other answer to find a windows 8 install disc may also work. And, You may also want to consider replacing the hard disk. Good luck!

Always worth the shot. But: What OS? External Drive or Internal? Do other Drives work ok? I've never known DW to damage a drive, but it will tell you if it can't do it.You tried rebooting? Does the errant drive show up on Disk Utility from a different drive? Checked cable connections are intact? (try a different cable) . Tried Data Rescue 2 to salvage data?

you're referring to an OS recovery disc I assume... my guess would be no. Most PCs now a days do not include that (at least not included for no additional cost), but you should have an option to create your own using blank DVD+Rs or USB flash drive Look for the HP Recovery Manager

I have not used it for that purpose, but it should. The whole point of the recovery disk is to return your Windows operating system to you. You may still have to repair problems after recovery, but you will have a fighting chance of avoiding a reinstallation of Windows and a subsequent loss of data. The recovery disk has saved me from disaster several times. Let us know how that works.

yes I had similar problem. Asus tech support is a good suggestion. I put my original install disc in drive and installed or reinstalled programs not working well, worked like charm!

Hello,Computer comes with Win 8 installed from Manufacture (MSI). You can call MSI Tech Support 888.447.6564 and ask for Recovery Disc with Win 7 for that computer.Best regards,Amuras

I am not quite sure since this was for my son and he used it. I said Used it because just last week when he turned it on he was asked to format it. We took it to a computer store to get it looked at and they said it was no data on the drive to recover. It had a bad sector and won't work. So we are in the process to see what we should do now. Soooo upset since we had just bought this November 26, 2011. Sorry that I could not help you.

If you are installing the device on a windows 7 or greater operating system, windows will se it. My problem with this unit was it supposed to be a cd/dvd RW. All it saw was the DVD. If you had drivers that saw both you have to look elsewhere. Sorry. Fred Ahne

No, the cd I ordered installed without a problem. Are you running Windows 7 64 bit? I think I had to get a patch because I have 64 not 32 bits. Check that out.

I've had bad luck trying to install from a usb drive, had to use the original dvd. Another possiblility is occasionally windows 7 does not have the correct ahci/raid drivers, but it should ask for them if needed.

Yes I can help,I had the same problem your disk you got is junk,don't waste any more time,call Amazon to send New stuff.

Legally when you buy a computer with an OS you have to include the disc. It sounds like what you need is a custom built PC.

Did not have any problems with mine. OS-Windows 7 Professional-has worked just fine, no nastygrams from Microsoft saying I was using anything out of the way.
