HP Pavillion G6 - replace Disk

[jeanlion]

Hi ... got a HP Pavillion G6, without HD. I inserted another HP HD, which tested as proper.
However the system cannot boot from this HD (Win). Where can I find boot files to download to an USB Stick?
What do I need to do to get the NB running again?

Thanks for your help!
Hans

you can order one from hp

As the HD does not have any recovery partition, i must find a way to start from scratch, i.e. a bootable USB drive
Thus the question: how to get/create a bootable HP USB drive, which then allows me to completely reinstall new system files and
new windows.

I'm curious as to which model of G6 you have?
