If your existing hard drive has failed, I'm afraid you have a problem because your recovery partition containing a backup copy of Windows was probably on it. That's what most PC manufacturer's do instead of giving you a recovery CD, and there is usually a backup program installed which allows you to make your own recovery disks when the computer is new and working okay. This enables you to install Windows on to a new hard disk when disaster strikes.
Because the recovery disk has not been made, and the hard disk appears to have failed, the only option as far as I can see is to contact the PC maker and see if they can supply a recovery CD for your model. Most PC maker's have their own website for customer support which often gives information on the supply of a recovery CD for a small charge by post. Lenovo support is here (you will need to select your country at top of page): http://www-307.ibm.c...s/homeLenovo.do
