changed the hard drive. now, my OS is illegal?

I've reconfigured the drives in my PC. This put a bow in systems jacket! It now says my copy is illegal, so I can't use the updates. When I get the COST I have LEGALY bought by Microsoft it claims the COA was previously used and is no longer valid. How can I prove that I already paid for my OS back to normal?

Have you tried to restart by phone?

  • Can I change the HARD drive integrated on my Satellite L50-B-281?

    Hello

    is it possible to change the HARD disk integrated in an SSD? Must be a SATA3 SSD?
    Or it is also possible to install an additional HARD/SSD drive? For example the HARD drive now integrated as a data harvester and a SSD as a system drive?
    Or the DVD player can be exchanged for one SSD?

    Greetings!

    HARD drive can be transformed into SSD and it is the best option, but according to user manuals (to the attached picture) your laptop is not separate from the cover of HARD drive in the lower corner so upgrade disk HARD only is not supported for laptop owners and should be done by authorized personnel only.

    To have full access to the disk HARD lower cover must be removed completely, and if you do it on your own it will void the warranty.
    In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. This can be done quite quickly and I don't think that it would be expensive.

  • Changed the hard drive and stays of Windows vista is not genuine

    Original title: why do need me a new product key
    My computer stopped working and a new hard drive has been implemented. Now my computer asks for a product key and my computer says that I am using a windows vista that is not authentic. My background goes black and won't keep any substance I put in place.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!

  • change the hard drive in the Pavilion all-in - one ms228

    My hard drive has stopped working on my Pavillion ME 228 all in an office.   I found a replacement at a reasonable price.  I bought this computer in France a couple of years ago, it came with windows 7 family in french with a keyboard french azwerty.  Now, I have to change the hard drive is possible to put on Windows 7 'Ultimate' in English (I have the disc) and English qwerty keyboard would work on this subject?

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Yes, you can install Windows 7 Ultimate English and plug an English keyboard. It uses only a keyboard USB, right? Computers have no nationality... they will take the language of the hardware and software you install on them.

    If the computer did not come with Ultimate you will need a new key Code. You can install the English version of the Windows 7 level it came with (probably Home Premium) using your own key Code.

  • OEM PC upgraded with SSD, is back on the HARD drive, now 'infringement '.

    Hello

    A few years ago, I bought a cheap "emachines" for parents.  To speed it up, I recently replaced the HDD with a SSD former and re-installed windows from scratch since an ISO downloaded from Digital River.  I forgot if it is 32-bit or 64-bit.  I called the helpline automated from key OEM cannot be activated online and everything went well.

    A few weeks later the PC is regularly crashing, which I suppose is a problem with the SSD drive.  Then I advise them to put the old hard drive back, they have carried out.  Windows complains now that it is not authentic.

    Apart from re - install from scratch, I can do to convince windows that OEM key is always authentic?  It is still used with the same motherboard and according to this article on PC pro, the key is tied to the motherboard and it is perfectly fine to change the hard drive.

    Thank you very much!

    Jonathan.

  • Change the hard drive of my Inspiron 9300

    Hello!

    This is my first post on this forum.

    Since July 2005, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300.

    As it is now out of warranty, I would change the hard drive in it.

    So I have a few questions, I'm looking for answers to if possible.

    I will present my questions in two different parts, the first is on the material, the disc itself and then the software thing.

    (A) material:

    (1) should what equipment I expect? I know it's a hard disk IDE, so I guess I have to get the same kind, in parallel ATA works?

    (2) I read here and there that the BIOS is limited to hard drives 120 GB, because more is not supported by the latter. You know a way to expand this capacity? (Only a medium chest!)

    (3) what kind of drives advise you? (Brand, speed, etc...)

    (4) I read on description hard drive 'IDE ATA 100' or ' IDE ATA 133 "in online shops, you know what it is?

    (B) software:

    (1) I would like to be sure that I will install the same things as when I do "Ctrl + F11", for the utility norton Ghost (want to keep this option!), which reinstall the entire computer with factory settings. I will get this during the installation with the recovery CD? Or you have a way to get this? (I want the same computer I have today, except a different HDD only!)

    (2) do you know how to create a D: partition, so that I have a part for programs and a part for the storage of the files?

    (3) how to install, is it: replace drive HARD; start the computer while starting on the recovery CD, Partition the disk HARD C: and D: (with the D: partitioned within the C: drive, I guess) and complete the installation of windows with the included Dell factory settings?

    I hope that I won't bore you with my questions, and you'll be able to answer. It would be nice, because I'm not a pro from the computer, only an amateur.

    Thank you very much

    Vincent

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
    Thank you
    jm75uk

    Hello

    For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

    I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

    Good bye

  • HP pavilion dv6-7029wm recovery kit lose after changing the hard drive

    Hello

    Recently, I changed the hard drive after the old one crashed, so I need the recovery kit, but the site it says shipps only in canada or the United States

    as I left the States, how can I get them?

    where can I download the recovery image and burn it to a DVD?

    Hello

    Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
