Lost Backup disks

Yes, his system has corrupt files, need a complete reinstall, after speaking to him, seems he never made back ups in the first place, didn't think he'd need them, lesson learned i think !
 
You don't need backup disks.

Torrent an OEM version of your given windows version, download drivers from your manufacturer's website, install, and be happy. :hello:

Edit: forgot to mention - use the key on the bottom of your notebook when windows asks for a CD key.
