Compaq CQ5110Y recover disks

My 320 GB hard drive just died and the fellow who sold me the machine 2 years ago not gave me no discs Windows Vista Home Premium.

I just took delivery of a replacement of 1 TB drive, I need to know how to make the recovery of the operating system so that I can install a backup on this drive and get running again.

Hi, Mike:

You can get Vista sp2 from this link.

HP does not windows updates.

I used it several times on my HP Vista OEM PC.

I also suggest after you install SP2, that update you immediately IE to the latest version for Vista which is IE9.

You probably had problems with IE7 that is no longer supported, and who knows what can happen when you try to make online transactions.

  • How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

    Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

    I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

  • Re: NB200-11 L recover disk

    Hello

    My NB200 11 L is not start properly. I don't have a recovery CD. I saw that Toshiba offers a download for disk recovery service but cannot find this service in the site of toshiba UK. I'm looking in the wrong place or could someone help me to get my hands on a recovery cd?

    When I try to start Notepad from a Windows Xp installation CD, I get the following error message:

    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message. disable the driver och consult the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

    Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use safe mode to recover or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

  • recovery system for Compaq Presario V6310US disks

    Real novice here and, of course, I did not receovery disks when I bought my laptop.  Talked to HP colleagues tonight on the purchase of recovery disc for my Compaq Presario V6310US.  He told me that I don't have to buy records; that I could go to HP.com and download them here.  Told me it was easy.  I told him that he did not know me!  I had the location of the driver/software and see a lot of things listed (including the order form to purchase recovery discs) but don't know what to do (other than to order discs by mail for me).  Am I supposed to just to buy the discs or am that I supposed to burn discs for all the other things that listed there and not buy discs by mail?

    Your help, in the simplest of words, is much appreciated.

    Message edited by hp4578 on 03/01/2009 21:39

    You must phone/web-form to order them and have them sent you... There is no mechanism in place to download records (officially) from the HP website.

  • HP Pavilion Dv6, missing recover disk

    Yes my hard drive Samsung failed 2 weeks ago and I bought a replacement to settle. The problem is that it does not come with my Windows 7. When I bought the laptop, it has not come with a recovery disk to install from. I contacted Microsoft and gave them the product key on the back of the laptop and they told me that the key was invalid. I was always getting Windows updated 2 weeks ago, so it may be invalid. They told me I had to contact HP for the recovery disc to install it on my new hard drive. If I can't help I'm going to buy a Mac. I just hear that the problems aren't there I have with Windows.

    I know that my sticker on the laptop is good. So I can't understand why the product key appears invalid Windows technical support. Help, please. If I can just recover my OS on and may try to recover lost data on my old hard drive.

    Thanks for any help. I don't want to have to buy a new OS when I paid for portable software and it was preinstalled.

    You are the very welcome.

    Micro$ oft is no help most of the time.

    It's a shame that HP doesn't provide us customers with recovery disks.

    However, they provide us with the ability to create a game by reading the info on the link below (which of course is now useless for you).

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867124

    Now as much as to try to recover data from bad hard disk...

    You can invest a few dollars in a drive enclosure external hard usb for laptop, put the disc in the box and plug it into a usb port on a working PC and see if you can read the disc.

  • HP Compaq TC4200 recovery disk

    Hello

    My HP Compaq TC1100 video card went bad so I bought a HP Compaq TC4200 tablet as a replacement, I bought on ebay and the seller loaded it with Windows XP Pro, I think he has a Windows XP Tablet COST (I have not yet received so I do not know the certificate of authenticity, but it's a Tablet so I'm figuring it's a tablet of COA) , My question is can I download a copy of a recovery disk HP TC4200 Tablet from a site like Torrant for my TC4200 XP legally?

    Thank you

    Andy

    HP is quite liberal with you not sourcing recovery media from other sites, I don't think it's a question.

    If you don't feel comfortable with another source, order recovery disks form HP

    You can order materials from HP recovery on the link below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

    If HP has more recovery media for your model, order them here

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Deleting files to recover disk space?

    Greetings,

    I'm trying to archive a large number of files on a CD in order to release an amount of disk space needed on my computer. I tried to put a .bat file to identify files and then edit it to copy to a CD and finally delete, but syntas does not reach me.

    Coming from the old DOS times, I don't know how to handle path names super long windows. Attached, one of the lines in my .bat file, with a super long file name, not recognized, if I get an error. Can someone correct the syntax please or enlighten me? I kind of resist the manual approach based on Windows to delete files. Too many of them.

    Thank you for your help.

  • When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

    I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

    Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

    If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.

  • Windows 7 recover disk fails with 0 X 4001100200001012

    I have a new Dell XPS 9000 and an Inspiron 1545 laptop. Both have windows 7 64 bit. When I create recovery discs using windows 7 and test them, they start completely and then fail with an error code 0 X 4001100200001012. I see only this behavior with both Dell news, I bought. I have cheap desktop HP I have also created recovery disks that do not cause this error. My search of the Internet makes me believe that I am not alone in seeing this problem with Dells. I used the windows scan function to correct possible errors of operating system file. Recommendations to slow down burning CDs to stop all the corruption cannot be applied when you create a recovery disk in widows. Since I have the OS disk, I can still boot from in an emergency, but it's still a bit annoying.

    Anyone has any ideas on what is the cause? I tried the microsoft technical support (they had no idea) and Dell technical support (they had less of an idea). Someone at - he seen elsewhere or know how to fix. ?

    I have the same problem.  I tried for hours about all recommendations found on trusted web sites.

    So I decided to try something.  I created a Windows 7 (64 bit) of my Lenovo T410 system repair disc.  IT WORKS FINE ON THE DELL XPS 9100, even using the wired network as the source of the backup (I have a small NAS where to store the image).

    My T410 uses Windows 7 Ultimate (instead of professionals on the Dell) and has an Intel I7 - 620 M (instead of I7 - 920 on the Dell), but cela is no impact.

    I hope this helps!
