laptop

Whats the best easiest way to put operating system onto a formatted hardive.
Its a Toshiba laptop which won't boot up just says windows is loading files. Got a spare formatted hardive so need win 7 or similar.
Don't forget its me so simples please, I really like simple lol.
Cheers guys

I find just installing from disc is the easiest.just press del or f2 depending on your lab.goto boot and makesure lab will boot from disc its that easy

Yep as above..if the existing hard drive is okay and its the old OS that's no good then during initial new install select drive options and click on all the available partitions C-D etc and delete them all this will leave you one clean partition to install on ..during install it will automatically repartition a new recovery partition that gets restore points installed on..

All I need now is the disc then

@gez there is a copy of windows in the dw pc dowloads section. Posted by alwaysatsea I think it's windows7.

you could use the rufus usb tool to create a bootable usb pen (if you have one handy).

simple one click program, easier i think..

im saying you could make a bootable usb pen rather than burning disks.

google rufus usb

If your copy of windows is in ISO format then use this tool to make/create a boot-able usb of windows instead of burning ISO and installing by disc..
you put usb in computer,go into boot set up by pressing the relevant key at boot (some its Esc on others its F8-F11) select the usb as your first boot priority press enter and laptop will boot to the windows usb and install new OS

+1 for the usb method. It's quicker and no need for a disk cluttering up your place.
