Dead HD came with my HP laptop, it's impossible to install Vista AGAIN!

Hi all

My HD that came with my HP laptop has courrpted and I could not install Vista more. I bought the NEW HD.

HP has not provid me with Recovery CD/DVD when I bought it. I have

s/n, n/p, licence printed at the bottom of the laptop... Please, is it possible that I can find new or re-download the OS? Or better yet the drivers for XP?

Product: HP Pavilion dv2500

Service etiquette: dv2530ee

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but in some sort, I have not seen this problem. I'm happy, then you have found the solution for it. Kudos to you for all your kind words to me.

    Original title: lost my sound

    This occurred after the most recent Windows update (around 7/10)? If so, the KB2962407 update may have been the origin of the problem. I fixed it by uninstalling this particular update. Details can be found here:

  • Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

    My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
    Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

    Hello GoogleGuru,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
    Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

    If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

    Post back with the results.

    Thank you

  • I can't read the SLP COA on my laptop and need to re - install Vista Home Premium

    I have an old Acer Aspire. It came with Vista Home Premium installed. In January, I bought a new HD and installed Windows 7. I don't like it and want to go back to Vista. E problem, it is that the COA sticker is so old that I can't read all the numbers that it burns me upwards I'm trying to be legal here and things are conspiring against me. I can't read 4 characters.

    Hello

    Tips from Microsoft is to contact Acer and ask them a different product key.

    I've never seen Acer a supply.

    And there is no way that we can help you with a different key of product here.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disc Vista for your model

    They will demand the SN: (serial number).

    They should do this for a small fee.

    The risk you run is that Acer has suspended the sale of recovery disc for some of its models.

    How to order the eRecovery discs:

    https://store.Acer.com/store?action=DisplayDataValidationServicePage&locale=en_US&siteid=Acerna

    The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    The other thing you could do is to get a flame and the magnifying glass and see if you can read these 4 numbers.

    See you soon.

  • I have a Dell OEM copy & Home Student 2007 office came with my Dell laptop.

    I have 2 machines from Dell and have now bought a laptop HP Mini 110 with XP. Can I install the copy Dell Office 2007 on the HP OEM or I have to buy new software? I use the trial version of 60 days on it now that expires in a few days.

    Paul,

    Thanks for posting. If you uninstall the Dell printer software then you will very probably be able to install it on the HP mini if you perform the activation of the phone. However, you can not install on two computers at the same time.

    I hope this helps.

  • What is OEM embedded Windows 8 key came with everything HP laptop?

    Hello everyone I am planing on buying a new HP laptop will be provided with Freedos
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04077266

    I have a copy of the iso of an HP OEM DVD WINDOWS PRO 8.1 that I think I'll install once I get the pc during the search for the drivers for this laptop hp special page, it prompted me to choose compatible for win 7 64 bit or win 8.1 drivers 64-bit.
    Second, I heard that newly made hp laptop have embeded authentic and official product in the bios that are more called keys bios so are - it true? and has anyone try?

    so my questions are:

    8.1 Windows will be installed on this laptop without problem? and the embeded key will work with windows 8.1 or is it for windows 8.0 only?

    Thank you all.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    If you choose the selected model 15-d010sk, it comes with no Windows preinstalled on it, so no Windows embedded key anywhere.

    I'm not entirely sure what exactly is this "HP OEM DVD WINDOWS 8.1 PRO" edition

    If you choose to buy this one or one that has FreeDOS (a type of Linux) or anyone who has no OS, you can install Windows on your own your edition and license have you already (no key or license accompanying these machines - buy you or get your own).  After installing Windows, you can visit the site of HP and download/install all the drivers and you need for the particular operating system (for example, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, etc.)

    Yes, this model has drivers for Win 7 and 8.1 (x 64 Edition) so yes, Windows 8.1 x 64 has to install and works fine without any problems.

  • His Dell Inspiron 1420, microphone and camera integrated into the laptop does not work after installing Windows 7 Professional

    No sound from my Dell Inspiron 1420 and the microphone and built-in laptop camera do not work after installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop has Windows 7 Vista 32 - bit family premium. My laptop is 64-bit capable and after going through the Upgrade Advisor, I installed Windows 7 64-bit. I can hear sounds when I use a headset plugged into the line-in Jack, but not through the speakers built into the laptop. I already tried new drivers from the Dell website, but I could not find.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    As it is has no drivers 64 bit Windows 7 on Dell Web site, your best chance is to install the 64-bit versions of Vista (if they exist) in compatibility mode, viz:

    Right click on the Vista driver, then select Properties > Compatibility tab. Now choose to run the program in Vista compatibility mode and then apply > OK. Right click on the file and select run as administrator to install it.

  • If I buy windows 8 with windows 7 laptop series, then could I install on another office?

    A few months ago I bought online a new ' WINDOWS 8 ' using my 'laptop' original 'WINDOWS 7' serial to get discounts on W8.
    Then I got a new series of "W8" key and download the ISO of "W8".

    My question is, I could install and use the new 'WINDOWS 8' on a 'DESK' instead of my "laptop"?

    I have not installed the 'WINDOWS 8' new again on any laptop or DESKTOP.

    Yes, you can, but make sure that Windows 8 is removed from the laptop first...

  • Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI

    Hello

    I have a toshiba portege m400.
    It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)

    In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
    When I try to install it it comes up with the error:

    +' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +

    When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.

    I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
    Now I'm pulling my hair out.

    Can someone help me please!
    Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?

    Thank you!

    Hi guys

    I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS

    I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
    So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
    After installation try to update the BIOS

    After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista
