@MrRichierich1990 Are there no other drives in that computer and you are starting from scratch with a new hard drive? If so, you need to install Windows or another operating system

I have an HP m8530f. I just installed a new HD bc the old constantly freezes and BSOD. I have the factory recovery discs... do I need to format or when I install the recovery discs it will run itself?

@KJEboys Typically you don't need to do the formatting; Recovery disks usually run on auto...
