I bought an HP Envy 15 May of 2013. I did not want Win8 or a touchscreen, but that was all that I could find. I hardly used it the first two weeks and then the screen cracked, so I sent it in under the extended warranty. As I recall, I needed to reactivate Windows afterwards, and ended up...

Hi
I've got my computer all up and running again with everything installed and for the most part working.
It's running very well, but there is a down side.
Cortana has stopped talking again.
I can clearly see that she is sending the speech signal to my Sound Blaster Card, but unlike last time...
Can anyone provide me with a link, or preferably a file, to download a Windows 8.1 32-bit System Repair/Recovery Image ?

When I open disk defragmenter it doesn't list my C drive -- which is the primary internal HD on which the OS, windows 7 64 bit, is installed. I have another partition...
Well its not new. I got it in Feb 06 but there is no disk. It has a recovery image on the HD but what happens if, no when my HD goes bad? I don't have a DVD burner, is there any way to get the OS on an external drive to reinstall or put on a burner later so I don't have to worry about a HD failure?
