BTW, the misinformation I referred to earlier was w/r a host of local computer places w/r how to proceed.
Two disks arrived today from Dell
1) Windows 8 Recovery media for windows 8 products
2) Drivers and utilities
I have the broken hard drive that computer will not recognize AND a new blank hard drive to replace it.
Could someone give me an idea of what I am doing?
I cannot find a video that addresses this entire situation.
How does the recovery disk make an entire OS?
One video says I need a dedicated USB (how big must it be?
Not clear on above 'backup image of OS, or how to proceed like when and how the new (and old, broken) hard drives come into picture.
