• I need to replace my hard drive on my laptop. How can I install my apps on the new drive without having to pay another subscription

  As the title of the discussion. I will replace my hard drive on my laptop to improve performance, which means reinstall my Photoshop/Lightroom and Bridge apps. How can I go about it without having to pay another fee to subscriptio?

  Simply install them again.  You are allowed two active installations at the same time.  If you have already used, the installation process will tell you that and whether to disable one of the facilities as soon as possible.  Say Yes.  If you have not installed on a desktop as well, then open Photoshop on this system.  If it has been disabled, tell it to disable a previous installation, as you did with the laptop, and you should be OK from there.

  Hello

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  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 replace the hard drive in a laptop G500

  I tried to install openSUSE Linux on my new G500 12.3 and were unable to do so. I think there is a problem with the hard drive so I want to replace it. I worked on other phones and they all live on the base which allow you access to the memory and the hard drive. The G500 mouse does not work. How it is falling apart?

  Hi nlgootee,

  Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

  You will need to remove the screws in the compartment

  

  After that you must slide the cover toward the front of the laptop.

  Note: Be careful on the removal and replacement of parts, any physical or cosmetic damage will not be covered.

• Worn Windows product key sticker on laptop with failing HARD drive.

  The hard drive on my laptop failed, so got a new one up and started to install windows... just to find out the product key sticker is worn and it don't keep anything about.

  Thus,.

  HP is able to get the product key with the serial number of the laptop?

  Or

  Can I get a recovery disk to reinstall Windows without needing a key?

  Thank you.

  recovery disk is an option that will include license certificates & register automatically.

  Another option is to use a tool that will load the oem certificate & series to your new installation, google help on mydigitallife.info.

• XPS L501X failed HARD drive - need copy of Win 7 for new installation

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the laptop for my nephew who is out of warranty.  I replaced the HARD drive.  The original one would not load the OS and was identified by an on-board diagnostics as the defective HARD drive.  I tried to get a copy of Win 7, but because it's out of warranty assistance automated on the Dell Web site I cannot download a Windows 7 image.  All useful suggestions please.

  Hey Rishi

  Before you receive your answer, I came across an answer to someone who has encountered a similar problem.  The advice they received were trying to restore the default settings in the BIOS.  I did and it allowed me to access the HARD disk again.  At the time where I got the recovery for my own laptop (a Dell Inspiron) disc, in DVD of XPS reader.  This enabled me to reload Windows 7 on the laptop XPS, probably only because the HARD drive is no longer was considered defective by the BIOS and the relevant files / drivers to access.

  As a precaution, I used the installation backup Dell to save different data files before migrating to the HARD drive in the set of an SSD, I was installing.  Unfortunately, the backup did not work as I hope and proved to be useless to retrieve the data as different files in the backup lacked.  I assume that this is because the HARD drive is faulty (even though I have not checked since I was the system working again, after spending more time than expected as the whole.)  I used the information provided to prepare a Win7 disc should be necessary in the future, thank you.

• What HARD drive to choose as a replacement for my Inspiron 1705

  So by doing my thesis paper, bsod that happens to me. After I turn off and then on my laptop, the hard drive is not detected. Used diagnostic tests and it said DST short something and hard drive cannot be detected.

  I'm still angry and have been troubleshooting for a day already, but I don't have a lot of time. Fortunately, I have half of my thesis in my email, but all the other papers in the last semesters are gone. : smileymad: so my question is what kind of hard drive should I replace it with?  My current HD is a Fujitsu SATA 5.4 k rpm, 80 gb.

  I noticed the hard drives have SATA and ATA 100/133/150. Who wouldn't be fair to my inspiron 1705? Here's the HARD drive, I'm the eye on:

  Are all these compatible with my inspiron 1705? Compatible with SATA ATA one / or SATA-II? Long summer for me. : smileysad:

• I want to recover the data on the hard drive using a laptop as a hard drive.

  Original title: Using a laptop as a hard drive...

  On a MAC, I can plug my laptop into my office with a firewire port to access the hard drive on the laptop without the OS being ran on the laptop.  Windows Vista has such a thing?  If so, how do you go?  The hard drive on my Windows laptop fails and we want to try and recover the data, by hooking it to a desktop as shown above with the MACs.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  "There is no way to access the hard drive when there is no operating system and if the hard drive is connected terribly."

  However, you can remove the hard drive from the laptop and connect it to the office with a case of hard disk that comes with the USB cable.

  Hello

  strange that you can request that

  HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive

  There were a few posters with this problem here

  If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)

  You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.

  I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD
