EliteBook 8460p: loading Windows 7 Pro on a new Hard Drive

• reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the new HARD disk, not invited to key code

  My Dimension 9200 needed a new HARD drive. Ordered from Dell, installed HD then re-installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I forgot to unplug the media reader, so I had to reinstall it again to get HARD drive letter assignment as C. Added drivers in good condition and just download and install sp3 and all the necessary updates. Now, all that remains is to transfer all the files from the old HD.

  Never, I was invited to the WinXP key code. I DO have the Dell OEM disc as well as the installation key code in the original Dell factory. I was wondering if anyone else had the same "problem". I checked under administrative tools and don't see anything that ask you "activation". The only thing that I went off and was invited to provide was the key code when I installed MS Office 2003. When I check in system properties, General, it shows that it is registered to me and some numbers with Dell OEM then more numbers, not the OS key code well.

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you

  When you use a Dell OEM media on a Dell computer, it checks the BIOS to make sure that it is install on a Dell computer, then it will be activated automatically, using a generic OEM key.  As long as you have the sticker COST/License/Product Key, you have the right to run Windows on this computer.  That's pretty standard for OEM systems.

  System properties still shows a 'code', not the actual key.  You can use Magic Jelly Bean to retrieve the key used to activate Windows, but the key, that he will return does not match your COA and cannot be used for manual activation.

• Windows XP home on a new hard drive installation

  I have an Omnibook xe2 with a new hard drive. The old hard drive has windows 2000 pro on this subject. The hard drive failed completely. I bought a new hard drive for her specifically for the Omnibook xe2. I don't have the disc pro 2000 windows or a boot drive for it. I have a XP home disc. How can I install the XP home without that old operating system disk pro 2000? Microsoft says that I need the old pro 2000 disk to load the new XP home system. Thank you for your help.

  If your XP disc is an 'Upgrade', you will need an earlier version of windows will first be installed on the computer ie: Windows 2000. If the XP disk is a "full" Version you will need to set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive, and then boot from the drive and install Windows XP. To set the boot order, press on and press f2 at startup. Follow the prompts to set the boot order for the CD/DVD drive. Save the settings and exit. Place the disc in the CD drive and start the computer, follow the prompts to install Win. XP

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

  I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

  I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

  I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

  I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

  I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

  bozzle73

  My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

  But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

  You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

  Good luck

• Transfer Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for a new hard drive

  I had to change hard drives and now need to reinstall all my programs application.  I was able to download Acrobat 9 Pro, but my licensed copy has now made within 30 days of the trial, and I don't know how to get a permanent license version.  When I call the software, I get a screen of the software configuration that gives me two options.  The first option, which is checked by default, is: "I have a serial number for this product." and a serial number is shown below.  It is the same serial number, I was issued when I bought Acrobat 9 Pro.

  So far so good.  Then I click Next, and here is where the trouble begins.  I get a window check the upgrade by the following text:

  You have entered the serial number indicates that your installation is an upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro version

  To be eligible for this upgrade, you must already have no product qualifying.

  We have looked into the locations by default of qualification of the products installed on this computer, but none have been found.

  You can check the upgrade eligibility without having to install your previous software by filling in the fields below.

  Select a product you already own

  Enter the serial number for this product

  
  

  Acrobat 9 Pro is not listed in the drop-down list of product selection, so I'm not able to get rid of my status of the trial.

  
  

  Please help me.  I'm not trying to upgrade.  I'm just trying to download a copy of Acrobat 9 Pro replacement, that I already have a license for, on my new hard drive.
  

  Thank you.

  The message you are trying to install a version upgrade of the software, which means when you bought it, you purcjhased as an upgrade to an earlier version.  You will need to provide evidence that you meet the eligibility criteria by specifying the earlier version and by submitting its serial number.  If you believe that you purchased the software in full version and not an upgrade, then you should contact Support Adobe directly by chat or phone to arrange things.

• Satellite A100 - how to install "Windows XP MCE" on a new HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-495. the cd/dvd does not work and I have a new hard drive. Now, I want to install the original os (windows xp professional, mce).
  I'm trying to put the files of my original restore on a USB cd but never works and I did not find useful clues in any part of the forum.

  Is there anyone out there who can help me?

  Hi, marawe

  It would never work if you just copy the files from recovery Cd on a usb key. You need to make a BOOTABLE FLASH DISK, to do you need an application like Flashbot... Google.
  Download and install it, after that you can make a bootable usb key.
  You should know that your Bios must support boot with a Usb key, I don't know about your knees. Otherwise, you cannot do so. Hope it works

• Windows 7 disc to a newer hard drive cloning lose my activation?

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive to upgrade my drive hard aging / slow / small running windows 7.

  I am considering the current installation using clonezilla newest hard disk cloning.

  After reading the FaQ of Activation of windows 7, it states that I'll lose activation with a change in hardware (motherboard) or if I change the hard disk and memory at the same time. I could be wrong, but I guess that if I just upgrade the HDD, I will be not necessary to reactivate windows 7. No other hardware changes apply except the hard drive.

  The question is, if I clone my partition to install windows on the most recent hard drive with clonezilla, I lose my activation? Are there other methods recommended to do?

  Thank you

  I doubt that you will find it, I don't think that it's been published, and if that were the case, she would probably quickly be taken. I don't think they want to know exactly what triggers it or how much time between activations rings the bells!

  There are many threads here with this info, and it's easy to find elsewhere. So, on pain of having that message changed:

  Every piece of hardware is a point number - if you change too many and exceed a certain amount of points, you will need to reactivate Windows. Don't know the exact number until he'll force the reactivation, but usually replace only part (other then the motherboard) doesn't require reactivation.  Information of product key, in the form of the product ID, is sent with a hash value 'material' (a non-unique number generated hardware configuration of the PC) to the Microsoft activation system during activation.

  Windows product activation checks eight different categories of equipment:

  * Processor & serial number
  * IDE adapter
  * VSN and hard drive
  * Amount of RAM range
  * Graphics card
  * Optical drive
  * SCSI adapter
  * Network adapter

  This is related to the issue:

  Product activation prevents users to change or upgrade their hardware.
  Not true at all. Users can change or upgrade their hardware. One of the forms of piracy which warns against product Activation is hard disk imaging. Not all forms of hard disk imaging are illegal. Where a pirate copy data from one PC hard drive to another to illegally run the software on two computers, Product Activation, which stops by forcing the copied software is reactivated. It does so by comparing the hardware on which it has been enabled for the hardware on which it is now initializing. If the material is significantly different, then reactivation is required. If it's the same, or similar, then the software will continue to work. Those who their PC hardware upgrade substantially may be asked to reactivate. For this reason is easy and can be completed by contacting Microsoft to obtain another confirmation ID.

  Questions about installing Windows 7?

• Windows 7, re - install the new hard drive was a success, but I now get guests that it is not valid, and I need to buy Windows 7

  From January 2013, after a series of about 13 automatic updates, Windows 7 hang in the boot process.  Using the repair function of the system on the Windows 7 installation disc, I was able to select a restore point at the beginning and Windows would be operated until I chose shutdown and updates would be automatically install 13 updates and then freeze at startup.  Finally, in a workaround, I would choose standby extended instead of shutdown until the system would break down after 10 days.    After going through this loop until the end of February, I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 again.  I used the product key and the OEM ID on the back of my Acer Aspire 5253 - BZ849, but keep getting prompts is not valid.  How can I get this fixed WITHOUT PAYING for WINDOWS AGAIN!

  The product key on the back label of the Acer PC is: * product key removed privacy * (initially, it has been accepted as valid.  Now I get guests that it is not and I have 22 days to activate.)  There is also a code in parentheses (X 16-96072), followed by 168-00196-149-361.

  Other data are product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00006

• Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

  I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

• Can I reinstall the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional on a new hard drive without any problem of product/activation key?

  Recently, my hard drive crashed and could be damaged, because I can not install anything on this subject.

  I still have the CD of Windows XP Professional that has been used to upgrade to Windows 7.
  So, if I buy a new hard drive and install XP first and then upgrade to windows 7. I'll be able to
  to do this without side windows activation problems.
  Or do I have to buy a new drive for windows?
  PS: Is it important that it is the version of Windows 7 professional student discount?
  Thank you.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement.
