Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives
My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers. I confirmed the authentication with Dell. A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses. They both have been authenticated by SM. After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives. How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

Windows 8.1 will not activate after swap hard drive
Hi, I traded my computer portable hard drive due to a fault. Dell gave me a restore USB stick I used to create the hard disk for Windows 8.1, I have now found that Windows is not activated and I am being prompted to enter a product key. I don't have a registration key as its injection in the bios... Can support please fix this? I think I need to provide my service tag? Thank you

Satellite U840 - how do I reinstall Win 7 after replacing HARD drive
I had a HARD drive error.
So I formatted the hard drive (after trying for months to get the process to finally finish that)
Now, I a U840 Satellite with a clean HARD drive and do not have the installation for Windows 7 discs.I searched the net and found nothing of use!
Help, pleasesee you soon
NickHello
You need to create the own recovery in the past disc!
This recovery disk allows you to install the Toshiba image after the HARD drive is dead or has been replaced.In case you have not created this disk, it is possible to order this support:

After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way. In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years. Is it possible to consolidate them in a library? And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?
In the future more facts and less editorial help here
SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem
What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)
You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries
You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock
When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library
I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive
I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
So, how can I put the o/s back on?Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities. -
Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive
Hello
I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.
I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.
Thanks for help.

Hello
I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.Have you used any anties Virus applications?

swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top
I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105. I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115. I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them. It does not work. Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again. In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP). It did not start, either.
Here is a summary of my situation:
- An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP
- A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running
- A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105
- A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115
What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?
A technician with 'the knack' discovered a device driver conflict. We have removed this driver and Windows was able to use a generic driver to start correctly. Bob's my uncle.

HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive
Hello
After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.
I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.
How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?
USB mouse works fine.
See you soon
The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

Please refer to the following solution: -.

Error msg "the serial number you entered is valid, but cannot find a product calling on this computer" appears. Impossible to reinstall CS5.5 on Macbook pro after the hard drive crashed and was changed.
Hello
Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.
