• reinstalling the system on a new hard drive

  Looks like a common problem that the original HDD Samsung die a premature death. I started to receive warnings of 301 SMART several months ago, but my HP dv6 kept operating normally until this week. Now it does not start, then it's time for a new HARD disk. I thought I was fully prepared, as I had spared him all my work on an external drive, had a new beautiful drive HARD fast to install and had my hand recovery disks. After you run the recovery discs, I'm stuck. New HARD drive does not start, and I can't do what whether the HP Recovery console offers me on its menu. Windows recovery is also stuck as there is no previous image recorded on this new album.

  Looking at the new HARD drive, I see that the HP recovery disks were formatted only 60 GB, sort of a mini recovery partition and nothing else. When I try to restore the image, him refuses to HP recovery with the message Console, this drive is smaller than the original.

  Can someone tell me how to work around this problem with recovery disks, or how I might just do a clean install of Windows 7 without having to buy a new installation disk purely and simply? HP does not provide a Windows disk with this computer.

  Hello

  Recovery discs often have problems reinstalling the operating system if the new HARD drive is lower than installed when they were initially created.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery process, it is a job before right around if you have (or can borrow) a Windows 7 retail installation disc is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to version exact commercial that you would need.

  If you don't have access to a retail disk, you can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write 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 of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  backup what option allows me to record the information of e-mail, my files and folders, settings of the computer basically everything but the system itself.

  I have a full factory CD/CD that includes an image of windows vista (hp system recovery discs) but that does not include my email info or the files and folders to restore

• How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

  My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

  When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

  I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

  I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

  Thank you

  The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

  You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

  Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
  
  First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

  Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

  Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

  Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

  Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

  It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

  If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

• Can I move my current operating system that came with the computer on a new hard drive?

  My family got a hp pavilion m7560n some time ago.  Last weekend I heard on that clicking sound from the hard drive I think.  Since then, I only heard once or twice.  All that I know is that clicking may mean the hard drive is defect or on the way that him.   However I don't know if this is the case if the sound starts and stops.

  I want to know if I can format a new hard drive to replace the one provided with the system and always keep the same format as on the system when it was new.  I mean here the operating system and all other programs who came to this topic.  The recovery that are made to work for this computer discs may work on a new drive hard format if it is put in place of the system?

  Or are otherwise free to carry the operating system and other programs on a new hard drive.

  The hard disk provided with the system's 320 GB, I have one that is 500 GB.

  Hi logicman77,

  the recovery discs are meant to be exactly for this purpose.  You can put in a new drive hard (500 GB is fine), and the discs will reinstall XP, as well as all software provided on them.

  The computer will look like it did the day you took it out of the box.  This document will give you details on the implementation of the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07145

• How do we install the operating system on a new hard drive?

  Hello

  I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disc supplied with my notebook, but while the laptop was working fine for a few days there is now an error message when I try to load windows, something along the lines of "image error, check the Setup disk.

  I did something wrong?
  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Installation on the new HARD drive is very easy. All you need is Toshiba Recovery disk and you must boot from that disk to begin the installation. Everything is done automatically and factory settings are restored to the new HARD disk.

  I had to replace the hard drive on my g6-1130sl Pavillion and now I want to restore my system from 4 DVD backup created with recovery system until my hard drive was broken.

  I downloaded from the servers of HP drivers and software available for my PC but I could not install HP Recovery Manager on the new hard drive because it gave me this error: "Softpaq does not apply to the system, without HP Recovery Manager installed.

  Is there someone who can help me solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Hey there!

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I understand that you can not restore your PC by using the restore disks.

  It seems that you did not follow the process of creating media recovery or data backup process.

  If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

  Please use this link to find out how to create a recovery media: http://hp.care/2byIEKi

  However, you can contact HP and get a set of system recovery disks.

• Installation of operating system on a new hard drive

  My compact presario v4832ea hard drive just died yesterday. It's a Toshiba MK8025GAS - 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive - 5 400 rpm, 2.5 inches of width, height 9.5 mm. Now I think to upgrade to a bigger, but I don't know if I'll be able to use the installation CD of Windows Xp with a hard drive to a different size. I am fearing a message in the sense of "can not install operating system. Incorrect hard drive size.

  You never know...

• What is the upper limit of the size of a new hard drive in a gateway MX6453?

  Title: original size for replacement laptop hard drive?

  I want to upgrade to a hard drive more in my Gateway MX6453.  He is currently 160 GB, and I am running SP3.

  I was warned by my computer technician I couldn't be able to go further, and I have certainly shouldn't push my luck and try something beyond 250 GB.  I contacted gateway and the rep online says 160 is too big, I could go - even if it is not clear if she was citing an authoritative source, or just read the greatest opportunity of their authorized supplier spare parts list.

  Another tip from reading, I found it is often a problem with XP about Logical Block Addressing, which would limit the readable size 127 GB.  However, as my system currently reads 143GB in my C drive partition, I guess this isn't a problem.

  Is there another BIOS or XP limit on this disc of size I can use?
  If so, how to determine what it is?
  And, is it possible to change it?

  Thank you.

  I went ahead and cloned a 250 GB drive, and everything seems to work well.

  The folks at the blue and yellow big box store were very helpful, pointing out a software that can be started and run from its own DVDs at a reasonable price, then the process prescribed only an external enclosure for the new disc of cloning.  Also do they think that a drive yet more would be a problem, but they were only up to 250G to PATA drives (I think I've seen bigger PATA from the same manufacturer online).

  I had barely a few minutes ago selection only one file in Windows Explorer, instead of the file clicked and everyone listed before it, but it seems to have disappeared after a reboot.  I'll post back here if that repeats or there are other problems, but for now it doesn't seem like there should be no problem for those who want to like me.
