Hi:
Starting with all PC's that come with W8, the product keys are encrypted in the BIOS chip.
This has been done by Microsoft in a further attempt to reduce software piracy and counter the illegal use of OEM product keys on other PC's.
The only way you can reinstall windows 8 is to purchase a set of W8 recovery disks for the specific model g6 you have, or to install Windows 8 using an OEM installation ISO file. A retail upgrade ISO file will not work with the product key in the BIOS.
Here is a link to download a 64 bit OEM W8 ISO file, which should work with the product key in the BIOS.
It has a limited number of downloads per day, and as I type this, it is not currently available for download, so you will have to check back later. I would check several times a day and you may have to do this over the course of a day or two.

Then use this tool to make the ISO bootable onto a DVD or usb flash drive (4 GB).
