If you have a windows install disk - you should use that to install a fresh copy. You might also have a driver CD from HP that you will need to install. If you don't have the drivers download them from www.hp.com "support" tab. using your computer and then burn them to a CD or copy them on to a Flash drive.
Good Luck

You can download an illegal copy from a number of torrents - but, it might be full of malware. Also when replacing an OEM copy of Windows you sometimes have a problem using a retail copy. The OEM Windows key will not validate on the retail copy. It might be best to have a repair shop do the install (except that they want over $100 to do the job).
