    I got a new hard drive today, and after trying to install the recovery discs that Best Buy gave me four years ago, the process stops on the second disc at about 63% and gives me an error message that reads "Error 0x4001100200001005" with a second line that reads "If this continues, please contact HP Support." I'd really rather not talk to them if I can avoid it. Just like trying these recovery discs on the new hard drive, I got the same kind of error message (not sure if it was the exact same) when I tried the discs on the old hard drive that turned out to be dead and needed a replacement. Any insight or help on this would be greatly appreciated, as this whole thing has been giving me trouble for over a month now.

    If the disk itself is faulty, no solution would help you. Either install some free Linux distribution or buy a Windows disc. HP may be able to replace the discs perhaps.
