• Activate windows 8 after factory reset

  Recently, I bought an SSD to speed up my computer. I used a program to extract the product code and backed up my files. Then did a factory reset on windows 8 and transferred all the data of my SSD, when windows asks for the code I entered in the code that I extracted with the program, which did not work, because, I think because I installed windows media Center on my PC. I bought windows 8 with the 'Windows anytime upgrade offer' a year ago, I previously ran windows 7 Professional, now win 8 pro. the code given with my PC did not work as well. activation of the phone did not work too well, so what to do next?

• Will not let me activate Win7 and receive 0xC004C008 error code.

  Computer of my son had WinXP Pro x 86 on it for a while, and my computer has Win7 Home x 64. For compatibility with some software, he needed a 64-bit version of Windows. So I bought Win8 x 64 for my computer and spent my Win7 x 64 it. Win7 not turn on his computer - I guess because it was already installed on my own. He is no longer on mine (as I Win8), then what should I do to activate this copy on his?

  Edit: The message I get is:

  Code:

  0xC004C008

  Description:

  The activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used.

  2nd edition:

  Before put me the copy on his computer, the key was never activated once (on my computer during the initial installation).

  Original title: won't let me activate Win7

  Because he was already in use, you will need to reactivate by phone:

• Is no longer able to install windows updates after factory reset (windows service exception / failure set up the updates of windows roll back)

  So suddenly, I wanted to start my 3 month old laptop, but found that it was getting a system service exception.

  After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to go with a clean installed, this has completely fine until I installed the updates of windows (I have to install these updates to return Windows 8.1)

  After you install all the following updates occurs after a reboot:

  -Default configuration of the windows updates, roll back later, I get a system service exception.

  - Or directly a system service exception.

  These problems are solveable by a system restore to a point that has no updates.

  The next thing I could try is install the updates of windows 1 by 1 to see the update is causing this particular problem.

  If anyone has a way to solve this problem please help.

• Reinstalled windows (Vista Home Premium upgrade), will not let me activate

  I had to reformat/reinstall windows on my Vista Home premium computer, but now when I try to activate, I get an error indicating that the upgrade cannot be used for clean installation. That's fine, because I know that the activation of the phone will operate, but I can't find a phone number for the activation of the phone. When I do the slui.exe 4, he'll need just to options where it asks me to put in the code, then gives me just the error message. He will never give me the option for the offline or activation of the phone (I even tried to unplug my internet). I'm looking for a phone number to get it activated...

  The best thing for you to do is repeat the installation, this time as an upgrade of the current, ensuring that you enter the key on request the installation - it should then accept and activate normally.

• Lenovo G550 will not let me activate wifi

  I have a problem with a G550 laptop, running windows 7.

  No matter what I do, the wifi does not work. When the manual switch on wifi on and I press fn + f5, nothing happens.

  The wifi card is recognized in windows, I have the latest drivers Lenovo support page and so on.

  I tried literary everything, including windows reinstall and still nothing.

  When I run windows diagnostic said it also "options wifi (or something like that) is not activated" and I tried with readycomm that says the same thing.

  It's actually sort of a hardware defect?

  Remove readycomm application. Then, restart your computer.

  Re - install power management, and then press fn + f5 to activate wireless.

  

  do you not see any window like that?

• Dell Power edge 2850 will not let me install windows server 2003

  Hello

  I tried to install windows server 2003 on a few servers, I received a few weeks back.  The RAID put a system in place and turned but when it tries to install WS he says that there are no hard drives.

  I tried to download "server Dell Power Edge update through bootable media / ISO ' but there is no download for a 2850.

  Also I tried to download this "Dell systems build and Update Utility" but most of the time it stops and says failed download...

  Hello

  Also visit this link

  This link is the user's guide.

  And another one

  I bought a 2950 on Ebay the month last but never had the intention on the installation of a Windows operating system, but I downloaded the ISO of DVD here file and installed without any problem they send you a key to save the operating system. I updated the bios after this and no problem. You never said how many hard drives you have, but make sure that you have two or more. So far, I've installed VMWare ESXi which was supported on 2950 but I settled with XenServer 6.5.0 and I 2003 server running as a virtual machine which works very well.

  I have a Dell XPS workstation I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on it but I had only one drive is connected and the operating system could not see all of the hard drives. After that a second device and do not use raid on this machine, I was able to install Windows. I tried the ISO Live Dell 2850 version but it is not a. Which includes diagnostic tools. When you by a Dell there pre installed in a hidden partition on the disk utility, you can run, but it really isn't anything I know install that. Usually the F12 key will give you a list of items to boot from and if she isn't here the disk, it cannot run. The diagnostic utility that is.

• Satellite P100 - 194 PSPA6E does not start and will not let me install Windows

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite phone, witch, I got from my brother. I don't know what he did with it, but he does not know.

  When I start the PXE - E61 "Media test failure, check cable" appears. In the BIOS I put in the directory Boot LAN mode on the last position, but despite this failure E61 appears.

  I tried to reinstall Windows XP. The laptop started from the CD and the blue screen appeared and loaded XP drivers needed. But at the end of it, when you enter normally on the menu to choose where to install windows, the screen is black and in the upper left corner a small beam blinked on and outside and nothing happens plus.
  The same thing happens when I leave the laptop HARD drive and start again from the XP installation CD but this time without the HARD disc logically.
  So I thought that the HARD drive is broken and I put it in my desktop PC to test. I installed XP on the drive HARD Satellite in my PC, which worked without problems in my PC. So, I come to the conclusion that the HARD drive is not broken.
  And my BIOS Satellite detects my HARD drive and displays the name of it.

  But what is the problem with the laptop when it is not the HARD drive and BIOS show the good name of the HARD drive? Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The story is very strange boyfriend generally that the PXE error if the laptop tries to boot from LAN. But in the case where starting LAN source in unavailable, the PXE error appears and shows this message.

  Usually, the BIOS passes LAN Boot option because the other options are not active. This means that the CD/DVD drive does not any bootable disk and the HARD disk is dead.

  So, as you can see you hypothesis was right that the HARD drive could be faulty

  In any case, try to access the BIOS and set it to the default settings save changes and then try to reinstall Windows XP.
  You might also try another HARD drive, I know as your fist HDD recognized correctly but it s worth a try to test the 2nd HARD drive.

  "How to get help from volunteers on a Microsoft forum" is not the title of any book you write, huh?

  I'm not real - you inthat definitively described - but if you're running Windows XP and get access denied to a file/folder - it's an easy thing to fix.  They even wrote an Article in the Knowledge Base on this subject...

  Reading * carefully *-not just browse the page and start following the steps.

  There is important information it dependent on the version of Windows XP

  Also - can clarify you that, means «I never have a clean install because my portable hard drive broke... so I had to make the long and old fashion way...» » ?  A clean installation * is * the mode long and ancient way.  :-)
