• Cannot install updates for WIndows - error 80070490 and installation disc?

  original title: error 80070490 and installation disc?

  Dell, Vista, x 64 laptop.

  I can not install updates, including Service Pack 2 and IE 8. I managed to fix the other error messages, but this one is a winner.

  I can't follow the steps here because I don't have an installation DVD. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and did not come with a disc because everything was preinstalled. Even if I had a disc, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD-ROM external drive when it is plugged in (a problem at a time!), so it would always help. "The System Update tool does not work on this machine, probably because of that pesky little" compatible operating systems: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 "requirement. I so need SP2 to download the tool which will allow my computer to install SP2? Nice little catch-22 there. I agree with the irony. I disagree with not being able to install updates at all, ever.

  Is it possible to re - install without a disk? Can I solve this problem at all or I'll have to take the laptop to Best Buy and ask them to do some voodoo Geek Squad to it?

  Hello

  Check if your computer has a recovery partition.
  If the computer has a recovery partition, use the recovery partition to restore the computer to factory settings.
  Note:   All programs and data will be lost.  You can make a backup of all important data and reinstall programs.

  You can also contact the manufacturer of your computer, and asking for a disc.

• Upgrade to Windows 10 after that I got my hard drive replaced

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron 15R running Windows 10 I received through the upgrade process.

  Recently, he has developed some hard drive problems I went and got the hard drive changed but had to install windows 8 because it is the operating system it came with. So I very well, I'll go through the whole process again no problem.

  I spent a few hours trying to raise all the updates and then realized that there was none, so I downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade Wizard and tried to go through but it gave me an error for "Operating system". It says "You need to activate Windows before upgrading".

  He said windows is activated but Activation details displays a 0xC004C003 error code. I looked at this community solutions to this and tried the phone activation process, but it says I could be victim of piracy of software through automated Messaging. Who has no sense because I was running the same copy before with my Microsoft ID and all.

  Why he thinks that the software can be hacked?

  What should I do now? It is ridiculous to force me to buy a new key. Why should I pay again for something I already own.

  If I've been duped by the store, I got my replaced hard drive so how can I restore my windows with my own key?

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  [A moderator has left your forum thread Win8 specific update to the assets of Win8 (etc) - specific forum for us.]

  I figured out how to get my key from the BIOS.

  Have you tried to activate (for example by telephone) with that key? -Online http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24636-activate-windows-8-phone.html

  Here again, this page shows the 0xC004C003 error code means you will need to contact a Microsoft customer service representative.  YMMV

  How can I clean install windows without a disk?

  For Windows 8 (.1), see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  If you want to upgrade to Win10, there is a way to do it, too - but I think you would be better to remove your current installation of Win8 & running (i.e. activated & fully-patched - including get Windows installed 8.1) before worrying about the upgrade to Win10.

  PS: The guy 'at the store' caused these hassles. Maybe you should contact the store & gripe?

• I received a message stating that resources were low. Computer has crashed and when I turned on the computer had black screen

  Original title: drive full D... computer laptop unusable

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop... computer.  Two months ago I saved mistakedly C drive to D drive.  I soon messages that D was 85% full... knew that I'd made a mistake... bul everything seemed OK.  Has nothing on this subject.  Yesterday, I received a message stating that resources were low.  Computer has crashed just after that.  The computer turns on with only a black screen.  Pressing F8 does not start in safe mode as it does on my PC.  Can someone help me?  Thank you!

  Hi SteveKinney,

  ·         What version of Windows is installed on your computer?

  ·         What is the exact error message?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Start in safe mode and do a System Restore to a point before the show.

  See Advanced startup options (including safe mode) for more information about starting in safe mode.

  Method 2: See the following articles and check if the problem still persists.
