HP Hardware Warranty on Linux OS

[melovelinux]

have made HP recovery discs . so today i went to restore via my recovery DIsc (HP Recovery Manager will format C:/ and load restore from my DIscs)

but it failed, turns out when i was making backup of my recovery DIscs the external CD Rom Scratched CDs.

so i cannot restore now my HD is wiped and there is nothing i can do.

i installed Linux on my laptop instead, but will HP still cover my Warranty for hardware?

Usually, the warranty is only a year which the hardware seldom fail. By the time the hardware fail, your warranty is usually way over. So... no point to bother with that question.

Unless, your hardware really fail within the warranty period, you should still be order a recovery cd from the manufacturer, restore your pc to whatever windows, then claim your warranty...

Actually... ubuntu is so powerful nowadays... why bother to switch back to Windows... unless you want to play some pc games...

agreed. but later if HW Fails and when it does i need hp to fix the HW for me.

it seems that last time the refused to service a broken HP product because the user has changed the OS to Linux.

can anyone clarify that they now will service any HP broken Hardware reguardless of which operating system is installed?

according to Linux.com :: ChangeLog: HP clarifies warranty under Linux

is it legit?

A distribution that attempts to splinter the Linux graphics stack doesn't deserve to exist. Good thing GTK and Qt have already confirmed that they will veto any attempts from Canonical to have upstream include Mir support in their respective graphics toolkits.
