Hello,

My old internal hard drive has crashed, so I replaced it with another SATA II hard drive, but the problem is that there is nothing (obviously) and I don't have a recovery CD that came with my PC, and the data from my old hard drive is unrecoverable. I have already tested several recovery USB drives with Windows 7. I have searched several websites but I haven't found anything that fits my situation, even on Acer's website. In the end, I haven't been able to do anything, which is why I'm asking for your help.

I have also taken a few photos of the Setup Utility if that might help

Thanks in advance

    Hello, and what if you clone your hard drive, haha you hadn't thought of that ;)

      Can it really do that?
      On the other hand, I don't have the equipment to connect the internal hard drives, so I'm trying to copy onto the one I'm using.

      Yes, it works, I have already tested it, perfect.

      I've quickly tested to create a recovery key by copying from this PC, then I launched it on the Acer and nothing, black screen. It's true that this PC has nothing to do with the other, but I was hoping for a reaction, an error message, something.
      Is this a bad sign or should I take the risk of ordering the equipment to turn these HDDs into external HDDs while cloning?
      Also, the HDD that is down is seriously damaged; it wouldn't even start on my PC. Can the software really work under these conditions?

      If your master hard drive (the one that will provide the copy) has the slightest defect, the copy will not be bootable. And if your hard drive is inaccessible or anything, I'm sorry to say that you probably lost everything... Think about backups...

    So my old hard drive is irrecoverable, but is there really no way to install an operating system or restore it to its original state?
    I have already tried using recovery keys that allowed me to reinstall Windows 7, but I only get a black screen
    Is there really nothing I can do on the new hard drive I bought to make the PC usable?

    It depends, what do you use your PC for? Games, office work, internet?
