Hello

1. What is the of brand and model number of the hard drive?

2. what exactly happens when you insert the disc?

3. you get any error message?

  • How can I reinstall Windows 8 in my laptop if the hard drive broke down?

    I have a new laptop with windows 8 is installed (product key is embedded in the bios I think and no sticker license more on this subject).

    I just want to know

    1. How can I reinstall Windows 8 if the hard drive broke down

    and I don't have any medium of recovery and the warranty is expired

    2. is there any media can make me reinstall my windows 8?

    for example using the windows disk 8 OEM that can be brought in computer stores

    I know that windows 7 can.

    3. when I use other media to reinstall windows 8 in my laptop, it will ask for the product key during the installation begins.

    I'm looking for the key to the installation?

    I can in the future, faced with this situation. I hope someone can help me.

    Best regards

    I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
    If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

  • Hard drive broke down. How to reinstall Windows on the new drive?

    Hi all

    I have a HP probook 4320 s to which the hard drive broke down yesterday. I ' v tried meny methods to remedy, but that ship has sailed.

    So, I bought an SSD (better do good then). Given that HP provides records of Windows and that deliveries on a partition of repair tools I don't have the software to reinstall Windows 7.

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge about it? Download order an installation Windows from HP?

    Please advice. I'm working on a Pentium 4 Windows XP at the moment. :-(

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    If you are in a hurry and want to install W7 before your recovery disks are shipped to you, you can download the version of windows 7, which has been installed on your PC and is indicated on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC.  For example, if windows 7 Pro came with your laptop and is indicated on your COA sticker, you can download the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of windows 7 Pro in language comes with your PC, and use the 25-character product key on your COA to activate the software.

    You must use the language of the operating system that comes originally installed on the PC or the product key will not work.

    You will need a program capable of burning ISO to DVD files, burning, so that the DVD is bootable DVD.

    Then just go to the support for your laptop and driver page to download and install the drivers you need.

    Link to all versions of W7. These are real files to Microsoft.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about your hard drive problem and wanted to help.

    Let's start by defining some terms.

    When a disk 'crashed', it means a hardware failure, such that the disk cannot be read. You can not write on the disc or read him.  It can only be repaired by this disassembly and replacement of parts.  This must be done in a clean room environment and the cost to do that starts at $1000 USD.

    When a disc has "failed", this could mean practically anything.  In some cases, this means that the file system is damaged.  This may be due to the closure of the PC in the middle of a write operation, as when all of a sudden, you turn off your PC.  This can also be due to hardware problems as for lack of sectors.  In both cases, the drive is probably still usable, but in the second case, it won't be for long.

    So if HP Recovery runs, then it is not 'crashed', but he could have 'failed' - and in the latter case, if she fails to sectors, replace faster you it, the better.

    Good luck

    Hi, my internal hard drive (6.0 GB S.M.A.R.T.) broke down, I can't use Fdisk much anymore, it's over for me. Does anyone know what drive is inside my laptop? Anyone know if I can put more large hard drive (20 GB) in my notebook and I can run WinXP top? How much memory should I run XP on a larger HARD drive. How can I replace my hard drive in any case.
    If you respond, please do not use difficult words, I'm Dutch and my technical English is not very good. Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the unit should work well using OS, but you must use the max RAM (160MO is max). I found information that the computer supports a 6.0 GB HDD, up to 10.0 GB of HARD drive.

    As far as I know the HARD drive is under the keyboard. If you want to trade only, you must first remove the cover of the band. It is a plastic piece and is placed on the keyboard. Under this cover, you can find the screws that the difficulty of the keyboard. Remove and carefully lift the keyboard. Now you can see a HARD drive.

    If you have not much experience do not do it alone. You can damage some other hardware components.

    Good luck!

    I just bought a copy of CS5 and discovered my dvd drive is broken so I can't install it.  Is it possible to download a copy and then activate it with the serial number of the disk that I bought?  Can / should I download a trial version and use the serial number to activate it?

  • The hard drive on my computer broke down

    The hard drive on my computer broke down and I had no option to disable Adobe Design Standard. After you have installed the trial version and when I try to activate I get the message: you have entered the serial number is valid, but cannot find a product calling it on this computer. I can't find my product (ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD 5.5) in the drop-down list below. What should I do then?

    If you try to install 5.5, the message you get is indicating your 5.5 was a purchase of upgrade and it asks you to identify the older version that you upgraded that qualifies you to use the upgrade.  You will specify so have its serial number.

  • Trying to install a CS5 Design Standard upgrade license on a computer that already broke down...

    I try to install CS5 Design Standard on a computer that already broke down. I managed to solve the problems with a new hard drive. Initially our company bought a license to upgrade an earlier version of Photoshop (CS3, I think) to CS5 Design Standard. (In this case)

    Searching the Internet, I have only to find the Setup file of the full version to CS5 Design Standard of Adobe's Web site, and the serial code I bought (LWS-license) is not accepted. I immagine that I need another program to install, when I need to enter the old code of CS3 in order to re - install the upgrade-license, but how? Would be glad if someone could help me...

    For a single user license, serial number is what dictates if you install an upgrade license, or a full license... the software is otherwise the same for each license.  It is more likely that you are involved with a volume license, in which case you need a special version of the software for it.
