Hey jamman20

as you have deleted your key finder disk programs hard won't help you with this

I suggest that you contact your manufacturing it and explain your situation and ask them to send you a set of vista recovery disc

recovery discs generally don't require an input product key to serve you

check with them on this subject that we cannot help you with it

  • EliteBook cannot read serial number?

    Trying to help my niece with the recovery disc for his laptop (elitebook). Rang HP support, but they ask me a serial number.

    The problem is, I can't read it all.  The sticker has partially melted when my (N) had to throw away the battery. We had to use kitchen gloves, it was so dang hot.

    She can always use using the power adapter, but the laptop is stuck on the update 1 of 3.

    What can we do to solve this problem. HP will not continue the call without the serial number, only 3 numbers or letters, that we cannot read.

    Also, if you know batteries for it (overheating) why put the serial number above?

    You would have to ask this question of a person at HP, I guess to get an answer. That is perhaps why it is in the BIOS as a second source - in case something happens to the label.
    Personally, I've owned many laptops & never had a battery overheating in this measure, so I don't think it's a question that common.

  • D/DVD-ROM drive cannot read the CD or DVD

    Hello

    I use Windows Vista on my laptop. Its quite some time that I did not use my DVD/CD drive. Today, I try to use but cannot read any CD or DVD. I was trying to solve the problem of updating the drive, but still cannot fix. Can I use Microsoft FIX IT microsoft support but the problem still there.

    Something to say: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration (in the registry) information is incomplete or damage (Code 19).

    Click on 'Search the soluton' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    I did it but the result is COULD NOT LOAD DRIVER SOFTWARE.

    Please advise what should I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

    You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
    DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    I have sony vaio VGN-NR38S. It has a Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7560A ATA DEVICE.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
