dv7t-6100cto: retrieve from restore disk I did for ssd

Can I restore my system to an SSD of the restore disc, as I did when I bought my computer or it will not work on anything other than a hard drive? The drive is a model intel 330 I used and got a corruption or something and need to reinstall the system. The ssd is smaller than the hard drive, this is why I'm not sure if it will work. I read that it clones data to a smaller drive. I think that I've used the disc of windows 7 to do a clean install. If I do this again once I have to reinstall the drivers and I can't get on the hp support site to get all the updated drivers as it does not work and has been down for a while. I can't wait a month or however long it will take hp for their fixed site problems. I need to get this laptop upwards and currently underway. Any help would be appreciated to greaatly.

In fact we received information of an HP employee Expert on who a few weeks ago.

@Karthik  You may have missed the IC position thereon.

As long as the SSD is 160 GB or larger, a resumption of media will work.

Web page download driver and software is upward.

I want to know if I order my model-specific restore disks, it will contain the same exact content (ie. office, backgrounds themes, program of fences) as when it was bought new.

  • Can I use Windows 7 restore disks to revert to Windows 7 from Windows 10?

    I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I tried to reverse the process for about a week now and the only way I "think" I might be able to do is to use Windows 7 original restore disks that I generated from my computer at the time of purchase.  Can I do this?  OR verification codes have already been deleted by my faulty 10 Windows Installer?

    Please advise... my install of Windows 10 makes me crazy.  Can I use my old disks of Windows 7 or Windows 7 original verification codes were invalidated by Microsoft when I "upgraded" to Windows 10.

    Product keys do not become invalid. Moreover, if your restore disks contains an image of your installation then you will not have any key at all.

  • Replaced the bad motherboard and cannot restore from recovery disks

    I replaced a card Pegatron M2N78 - mother in a Pavilion p6130y PC and I tried to restore to the recovery disks, but he says that the restore disks will not work on this system.  Really, I care is in accordance with the operating system (Vista), I don't want to pay for what I have already.  Research I've done shows that the old motherboard was known to be defective.  During the troubleshooting process, the recovery process was started, but then is broken when the card mother crapped out and didn't not recognize SATA devices.  When trying to start, he knew and then wouldn't recognize them, usually about 75/25% respectively.  Because of this, I can't just start it on the HARD drive and update the existing drivers and update the Vista license.  I have more money to buy only 7.

    How can I get the installed operating system or perform a full recovery on this system?

    Hello:

    The recovery disks only works on exact material they were made for.

    Because you have installed a different motherboard, at microsoft a new motherboard = a new PC.

    OEM licenses are licenses that computers come with HP (and any other manufacturer).

    This means that they are good only for that specific PC and cannot be transferred to another PC or motherboard.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fBid=38vuxXQoPQY

    Q. a PC with an operating system of Windows OEM may have its motherboard updated and keep the same license? What happens if it was replaced because it was defective?
  • HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

    The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

    Thank you

    Pete

    If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

    Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

  • I had to run restore disks to bring my XP Pro machine to its original shape - SP2. Now update usually run at all. I get errors 80240036 and 8024400 a, but help posted forum didn't workked

    Hello

    You may have a hardware problem which is the cause.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you 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 on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers 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

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I HAVE A TOTALLY VIRGIN (NOTHING on the HDD) computer PORTABLE TOSHIBA, I HAVE MY RESTORE DISKS for VISTA BUT CANT SEEM to GET THE OS installed on MY LAPTOP... Please help

    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

    The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

    F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

    If you can start still not install it:

    Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.

  • My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

    I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

    My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

    My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

    I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

    There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

    Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

    I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
    Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
    I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
    You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
    As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.

  • How to deal with information coming from the disk utility - repair?

    I managed courses of recovery of disk space in my SSD. However, I don't know what to do about this:

    After recovering in the SSD space, I ran the option in DiskUtility 'fix' with these results:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    I ran it again, the function of repair with these results:

    1 Macintosh volume has been found damaged and must be repaired

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    Hoping that the repair function had solved the problem, I ran it again with these results:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    Thought that I needed to restart the device. After the re - start disk repair utility told me:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    Invalid 2 free block count

    (it should be 33309635 instead of 333008871)

    3 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    What is my next step?

    Should I ignore this message?

    If this isn't the case, it must be repaired, and how do I do this?

    Is this something that would need to get a new drive?

    Thank you

    If you don't have a good backup make one now. Always keep your Mac backed up on an external drive with Time Machine or utility of cloning like SuperDuperordouble clone.

    Next step is to clear and re - format the hard drive and then restore your system from now the command option + R keys

    Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

    However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
    I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

    Any advice appreciated help.

    Hi tarajanes,

    To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

    Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?

    Hello world

    My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.

    How can I get the restore disc that will work with my OEM license?

    Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying that it could not detect the hard drive, there is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I tested it on another laptop. Is there an any obstacle o install XP on this laptop that came with Vista of origin. Is there a security Messure somewhere that I collapsed to install XP?

    Thanks in advance

  • Question about Tecra M4 system restore disks

    I am looking to buy a Tecra M4. Toshiba provide a "correct" restoration method I have no problems with restore disks, but have had problems with windows restore sometimes. They provide a factory restore disc or I have to look at the creation of a Ghost disk.

    I need to know just if I can start lookging for a good approx. ghosting before buying.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Robert,.

    Portable Toshiba computers are sold with an OEM "bundle" of the software. This means that you will receive either a CD/DVD that contains an image that can be restored to the full version of the software, or a file preloaded on your laptop from which you can create your own drive can be restored.

    This disk can only be used to completely restore your system to its original factory condition, and you cannot use it to selectively restore files or individual components.

    You can also receive a tools and Utilities CD/DVD that contains specific Toshiba provided to public services.

    If you want to create your own backup copy of your data/system files, then you will need to invest in one of the packages commercial (I use Acronis True Image myself) as well as an appropriate external environment (I use a USB hard drive).

  • How to get the Installation of Vista from Toshiba disk?

    I work with Microsoft technical support to solve a security problem on my Satellite Pro A210 and were now required to use a Vista installation disc.

    Microsoft says that I am entitled to an installation of the original provider of my kit disc - Toshiba. But we're not happened with my laptop - only a recovery disc has been provided.

    How can I go on the acquisition of an installation of Vista from Toshiba disk?

    Kind regards

    Kevin C.

    With Toshiba laptop, you'll get the Toshiba CD/DVD facilities only.
    This recovery media is designed for your laptop only.

    Installations from Microsoft Vista disc is not given and there is no way to get it from Toshiba.

    Microsoft can offer that you support if you only use Microsoft installations CD. Using this disk, you can install and repair Vista on each portable office/computer option. Unfortunately with the restore disc it will not work.
