How to use windows 8 recovery media cd with out cd drive



I want to recover my windows 8 from my windows 8 recovery media cd which I got with my laptop. But problem is that my laptop don't have CD drive. How I can use this CD. Can I share that DVD rom of other pc if it is so then how can I do that?
This is a chicken and egg problem. No drive, cd/dvd won't work. You either need to get an external drive, or have someone write it to a USB thumb drive that your system can boot from.
hope this will work.
1. go to windows 8 start screen and launch store.
2. once store opens, right-click in empty space and you'll get an option at top to access "your apps" as shown in following screenshot:
3. click on it and it'll ask to sign in. sign in using your windows live id. it'll take a few moments and will show a screen containing list of built-in apps which have been uninstalled.
4. just click on the apps which you want to restore and then click on "install" button given at the bottom.
5. that should do it. it will take a few seconds and the selected apps will be installed again in your windows. are you just trying to copy a dvd? search for a free software called dvdshrink. i think dvd decrypter will also work. i prefer dvdshrink though. you will also need the img burn tool if you get an older version.

lastly, you will have to download the nero burning engine (if you don't have it already). just grab the free version. 

there are forums and web sites that will walk you through it. it is rather simple once you copy a few. good luck. clean the floppy disk drive then try again. anywho, since it's me, i would've backed up those contents to a cd/dvd or portable drive already so no problem. you might get a couple hundred if you part it out...ram / dvd drive / cpu / heatsink assembly / hdd / motherboard....failing that, maybe $100 for spares/repair on ebay....

the windows license wold be worth a few bucks too....(although technically, you can't resell these)

the laptop market has really dropped lately, and new laptops are dirt cheap, cmopared to what they were...unfortunately that has a knock on effect for us when we try to resell...

best idea is to part it out, or check out ebays wanted posts, see if anyone is looking for one for spares/repair.

if you feel really apprehensive aboutt aking the loss, you could always claim it off your insurance, as it was accidentally damaged, after all.... try that drive with another computer. if it doesn't work, it's probably dead. it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help! you would need to buy a licenced copy of windows for every machine. 

linux systems are free and young folks at school would quickly adapt to a different operating system and probably learn more from using linux.

here's a link to a download of a good flavour of linux which you can burn on to a cd or dvd and install it on one of the laptops to try it yourself.

it will be different but there are equivalents to all the programmes to which you're accustomed. first of all, download the zip file and then unzip or extract the file. then you will see a pdf file. if you don't understand how to do that, then please check the below button.) you should be able to change partition labels safely using gparted (or parted, if you can endure without a graphic interface) thanks for responding so quickly. i figured out my problem and found that i needed to enter the software code that came with my cd-dvd case. that got my software working.
