i'm on my friend's compy.

and he doesn't speak enough english.

to understand "recovery disc".

can i use his?

because my hard drive crashed.

and then geek squad gave me a new one.

but they're like. "yeah, there's no OS on it".

"you have to run the recovery disc. or bring it back and we'll do it."

but i don't have one.

because i throw that kind of **** away right away the first day i get something new.

i always figure there's a number you can call if you really need it.

bank statements, government issued IDs, IRS do***ents, etc.

anyway. recovery disc. do i have to call and get my own or can i use his?

quickly, kr. and then we'll talk about something else, ok?

for the record.

i did google.

and google came up w/ a bunch of yahoo answers.

and you can't trust those yahoos.

anymore than you can trust kr.

i was hoping there was going to be a poll.

Does yours have the same operation system and version as his? If not then I'd say no.

You might try downloading a recovery disk from the manufacturer of your computer.
