Drive hard dead - new drive installed no operating system - XP key for that computer is portable hard disk newly installed?

Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

  • Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

    First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

    After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

    I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

    Now, my question is this...

    I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

    Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

    Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

    OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
    -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
    -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
    -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
    -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
    S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
    -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
    -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
    -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
    -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
    -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
    N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

    This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

  • How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM?

    How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

    Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

    What is the brand and model of your PC?

    Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

    Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

    Here are the usual causes of slow:

    1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

    http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

    3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

    To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

    Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

    http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
    http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

    Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

    If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

    Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

    4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

    The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

    http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

    5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

    Hi R0w1% 40nd,

    Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are very old software and the operating system you are using is the most recent, so there may be compatibility issues that adobe has not tested these applications on newer operating systems.

    The installer for Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are no longer available.

    I'm going to buy a new laptop, what windows operating system should I buy?

    No one can tell you that, until you tell us what you want to use the machine for. A laptop to read PDF files, is different from one for the use of Photoshop or After Effects. Indeed, some might tell you that a laptop is not suitable for After Effects. Let us cast the additional question: do you plan to upgrade to Windows 8? Which could also affect the recommendations.

  • Error loading operating system after shutting down the computer because of the high operating temperature

    I decided to re - install Windows XP Pro x 86 on my wife's computer. So I went into the BIOS to make sure that the CD/DVD drive has been configured to start first, and then I inserted the DVD and then restarted the computer.

    Now, the XP disc started normally. I installed XP to the point where I deleted all previous partitions and then created a new. Windows then displays the warning that the computer would not be able to boot up to what XP finished installing. I guess that's because start-up files have been deleted when I deleted all previous partitions during the installation.

    Right after I clicked on enter the warning message, the computer shuts down. No! So, I try to re-boot, in the hope of all simply continue with installing XP, but instead, the computer will display a message indicating that the computer has been stopped because of the high operating temperature. I then go ahead and get a message saying: "Error loading operating system."

    No matter what I do, I can't go any further. I can't get into BIOS or anything. If I try the F10 key (or whatever the keys are), I get a beep. It does not properly respond to my entries.

    I don't think that the high temperature operation destroyed all components. The computer stopped several times in the past. Furthermore, it would not be part of integrated security if Microsoft enabled the computer reach a destructive temperature before stopping. I think that the problem occurred during installation was interrupted just after that previous partitions have been deleted.

    BT, I don't know what to do now. Loooking for suggestions.

  • Sony Vaio suddenly do not recognize the operating system information (sometimes ask my computer to claim it is not authentic) after owning nearly 2 years

    I have had my Sony Vaio from January 2011 and I bought from Best Buy with Windows 7 pre-installed. I had no problems with the operating system being true til this summer when my computer wrong not dated and crashed my anti-virus software (screen was blue and the system had a difficult time in commissioning. After much patience and research, I fixed my computer and removed the faulty software. However, sometimes my computer does not recognize my product ID of Windows 7. When I start first my computer, the information is not available and that my computer updates, it will not update as it does not find the correct information. With this, my computer started to warn my that I am victim of counterfeit software. I have no idea where all this comes from and why is - it now say my software may be counterfeit? In the last year and a half, I never had this problem. Also, after a few minutes, my computer cannot find the operating system information and says that it is authentic; which leaves me more confused than ever. Gah. What is happening and what I can do to fix this? (I own the software disc, I got when I bought the computer, but I do not currently have access to it).

    I suggest you backup and do a reinstall.

    You should consult the documentation supplied with your Sony's Vaio computer on how to reinstall Windows 7. Usually this requires that you start in a recovery environment.

    Please see this article on how to reinstall Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio

    At the same time, a colleague is currently working on an extension that should open many features of Qt, and I think that the API above should be accessible through this extension. He must be released over the next week or two, so you can wait for that as well.
