MY son work's for a software developer. Thier mgr ordered 3 ASUS computers with 500 GB Harddrives from Seagate. All three computer's dropped dead due to the Hard Drive failing. To make a long story short he gave away the computer's for free. It only cost me $75.00 for a 250GB Western digital.
This is my question. Since no resecue disk could be made. I went to the website "MY Digital" and downloaded an image of Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1. I had the Windows Key.
When I used this download I noticed it did not ask me to formatt the harddrive. I know the new HD is not formatted, the laptop seem's to be running fine.
Should I be concerned that the drive was not formmatted?
