• I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

  I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

  Hello

  There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

  Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  See you soon.

  p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

  It depends on the old hard drive still works.

• Pavilion a1230n w XP: Replace hard disk &amp; recovery disks don't work

  Replace hard disk & recovery disks do not work. Create the new partition & Microsft Recovery Console ONLY the options available on the disk recovery TOOLS. Recovery of Microsoft stops at the page "Preparing the system to install Windows XP".  Pressing enter at this stage of the results in "cannot find EULA" message & turns off the computer... already old version of XP (media center) via another set of discs, but want software HP original back!

  If it starts from the cd Recovery Tools but not the recovery DVDs, then you can have a bad set. Of course, it could be laser dvd in your CD/DVD drive too. The dvd function works before reinstallation?

• Pavilion laptop DV4 disk recovery installation issue what would it be?

  I formatted my HARD drive using a bootable floppy to CD (Dariks Boot and Nuke) - who has written on the C and possibly partition D (HP Recovery)... Everything went well with that.

  HP DV4-1543sb

  Original operating system was Win 7

  Laptop 2 years

  1. I then inserted the factory purchased HP disk recovery and booted from it (2 discs and 1 extra drive in the game)
  2. Installation went well with disc 1 that it then prompted me to two disc I did. Subsequently requested the extra disk I inserted.
  3. Once it is installed, it restarted the PC automatically and then start configuring Windows 7 up or at least begun to load (Win 7 was also my original OS).
  4. Process is completed and it still rebooted itself.
  5. Laptop computer loaded a little Windows (an icon appeared) and then suddenly a message saying error has occurred could not finish loading Windows)- or something of this nature
  6. Tried to reinstall and got the same scenario.
  7. Once more I formatted the HARD drive with a full format which took 2 hours.
  8. All that above was repeated with the same results.

  Any suggestions?

  The BIOS may be corrupt and if yes, how can I install a fresh BIOS with no available Windows application.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I suggest to try the following workaround.

  If you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is the exact retail version, you would need.

  If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when the installation is completeuse the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

  Additional drivers, you may need to find from here.

• I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium, and I lost the original and the recovery partition

  I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?

  Hello

  You have certainly reduced your options

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• If the size of the disk recovery is asking more than the flash player?

  I have laptop vaio with windows 8 inside. I want to create a recovery disk. He said that the flash drive must have 32 GB of space. but he has only 29.5 GB. will this be a problem? I really need to check the "copy of the recovery partition from the pc on the recovery disk? What happens if I don't? It starts to create the recovery with low memory drive? I'm totally confused. & I don't know much about PCs.

  Hello

  What is the full error you receive when you try to create the recovery disk?

  If you have an OEM computer comes with Windows 8 preinstalled, you can also check the box to copy the contents of the recovery disk recovery partition to be able to use the USB key recovery to restore the factory Windows 8.

  The size required for the USB drive create a disc of Windows 8 recovery actually depends on the size of the recovery image Windows 8, which is stored on a dedicated PC recovery partition. This on the PC recovery Partition is generally 3 to 6 GB in size.

  Windows 8 includes a built-in tool for creating a recovery USB disk and while creating this recovery USB drive, Windows considers the size of partition recovery on your computer and will let you know what is the recovery partition, so that you can use a USB to a larger size. For more information, please refer to this article:

• Where can I download the disk recovery Wizard

  I have a Macbook Air with os x 10.9 on it and wanted to make a bootable recovery disk. Following the instruction on the Apple support site, I went to the Apple Store and a disk recovery Wizard search gave no results.

  I have the recovery partition as an option on the hard disk, but there is no such use on the machine, or the Apple Store offers a download.

  Maybe I can just use the unix 'dd' command - that would be sufficient unless there is a quirk of Mac it will mess up.

  Thank you

• Re: Is it possible to use the 2nd disk recovery partition?

  Hi all

  My question is as the title suggests. Basically, I am planning to install an SSD as drive and use my Player Toshiba of origin as in WEIRD secondary car with an adapter. My concern is will I be able to use the recovery of the second drive partition and if I ever need to return to the State of out-of-box will it format and install everything on my SSD or the original HARD drive?

  BTW, my laptop is L755-1 DR.

  Thank you
  DJ_TLG

  I can't say for sure but I'm 99.9999% sure that this will not work. When you change the hardware platform (SSD and HDD) HARD disk recovery Wizard will not be able to find the image of recovery due to lack of specific markers.

  Create the restore DVD disc and the problem is solved. Of course do this with original laptop hardware configuration and factory settings.
