But recovered stolen computers Windows has been shattered and a non valid copy was installed
I have a Gateway computer that had Lojack installed when I bought at a retail store. Last year, the computer was stolen, but I managed to get it back thanks to Lojack recovery system.
Unfortunately, the thief wiped the hard drive, including the operating system. Regardless of the OS they installed was apparently disabled and now I get an error message (and of course the computer is locked). I just bought Windows 7 for my other computer and would like to take care of the laptop stolen as well.
What should I do? During the flight, I also lost my software and my backups. I can prove it the computer is mine, but I don't have the windows Vista product key more.
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
See you soon.

My Windows 7 Professional Office system disk has been corrupted and I took the opportunity to install a SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is in place and running on the SSD, with my old drive system now used for storage as it is still readable. The only product Adobe, that I reinstalled so far is drive XI but I would like to reinstall items 8 and Acrobat 9 without occupying more licenses that both are also installed on my laptop. Can you tell me the best way to do it? -Thank you

When you use FF/Win7/64HomePremium, I followed my Hacker & sent him a msg: "Tsk, tsk-Hacking'sBadKarma! ' and it made him angry then he faked and froze my StartScreen so a"RESTful"local (who is a drunk)"WIPED"Windows, then - with/without wonder - set I.E.11withWin7/64Ultimate; my backup had not worked since the 5/13 (pirate-at-work?), so can I recover prior FF profile now that I have FF back?
Hi RingTailFox...
He seems to have been a rather unhappy and unfortunate episode.
It is quite difficult to imagine exactly what can happen in the scenario you describe, but it seems unlikely that you'll get everything back.
Perhaps in the future we must learn some of the basics related to backup and restore operating systems Windows yourself. Is not this forum but see for example
- http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore
- http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/1838/using-backup-and-restore-in-Windows-7/
The Firefox profile may be saved to see
- Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
- Also the bookmarks can be saved restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer
- In some cases, files and folders can be recovered with the special utility programs or the operating system. If your system has been annihilated there is little that you will be able to do.
- Firefox sync can help if you have used this and had a second device, yet likely to apply in your case.
You mentioned
my back-up hadn't worked since 5/13
What kind of backup is what can you explain more IF you think that you still have it and it is relevant.

How can I delete an email without sending a confirmation to this account? My hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security. To remove the address, the only apparent is to send a confirmation email to the address I want to delete. It is counterproductive. I have a password, but if they can obtain the information via another email address, my account is never going to be safe. I got this address for a long time and do not want to lose. However, he begins to feel that my only option is to go with another provider.
Thank you

My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy. I used the original product key, when I rebooted it. Ideas?
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )Once downloaded, run the tool.Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message. -

Original title: recovery of original windows 8
When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.
Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.
Hello Vishal,
Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.
If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.
See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.
In addition to this, see:
Product key lost or misplaced (certificate of authenticity) for Windows
If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.
Hope this information was useful.

Windows 8 has been deleted and my windows.old/programfiles?
I was rather annoyed that windows 8, rather than integrate my existing programs and settings, pushed everything including parameters in windows.old/ProgramFiles (what is the point of having a check box that says 'keep existing settings' if it has not yet rendered my inaccessible email until I downloaded windows live mail again?)
However, after hours of violin, I managed to do a combination of programs to re - install and run with difficult settings from the file directory windows.old/program through desktop shortcutsIn recent days the shortcuts no longer works and I see windows 8 has been deleted and my windows.old/programfiles directory!It is not in my trash, it isn't in my forties AVG
Anyone know where it is!I did not understand why windows 8 should go through all my programs from the road, so it would take me hours to do shortcuts... but deleting the entire directory and my settings? Come on, this is ridiculousHELLLLP!AndyHello
