Failure hard drive replaced by larger windows disk hard recovery 7 starter will not work
The Emachines Nav51 of Netbook had a hard drive fail completely. WD 160 GB instead of replacing the drive with the same size of the extra couple of dollars so I installed a 320 GB WD drive. Had a set of recovery disks shipped from Emachines, but due to the size of the disc it does not recognize the correct system.
But then installed on setup Windows installs the services that it stops and an error box goes up requiring you to restart the installation from scratch. But then runs into an endless loop does the same thing over and over again.
How to get windows 7 edition starter on this system.
Hi Dave,.
Thanks for the updates.
I wish to inform you that there is a difference between the installation disc and disc upgrade.
However, there is a solution that will allow you to install Windows 7 on the computer.
Step 1: during the installation, when you get to the window where you enter the product key, uncheck the option that requires the product at the bottom of the window key. You can use the same disc of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.
This will install Windows 7 without product key, you must activate it later.
Step 2: Activate the phone.
Check out the following link and follow the instructions in the section: Activate by using the telephone.
Activate Windows 7 on this computer

Please let us know the status of the issue.

Someone suggest a solution (i.e. Download Media Player update, patch,... etc.)?
My recommendation is to download/install the free 'VLC Media Player"software. My experience is that it will play everything will not be Windows Media Player and much more. It manages files .flv without problem and there is no file to mess with.

I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.
I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.
Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.
You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.
You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.
If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

My key Windows VistaTM Starter will not work
My laptop was bought after 3 years... and now I'm fighting through activation problems.
When it is freshly installed by my uncle (in fact it has just changed), a technician was there to set up our component; He saw my notebook and asked if he wants me to degrade to XP because Vista is slow... since I'm naïve at this point, I just said yes, not knowing that my uncle made a lot of changes to the laptop.For about 1 year, I went through different reformat (after degradation 1 time, I asked him to update back); up to 1 times my license key has stopped working. It's a key Windows VistaTM Starter legitimate , I asked some elderly parents w / knowledge to my problem and said it could be that someone stole my key.I said 'No' because the key is known only to me and to the technician. I don't know if it uses it or what, but I can't activate it.My laptop does not now, and he's going to need someone to fix soon... but here is some information that might help:- I have the media recovery disk, all the stuff for Windows Vista and the LG drive (where you can install display, sound drivers etc..).
- The laptop model is LG RD405.
I hope someone could help me. PS; the call of my country cost much so I can't take the phone option especially since I have a bit in hearing deficit... and my position is on the Philippines.To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleasePlease also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

Hello
I had a Satellite Pro A200 installed with Windows XP, SP2 for some time - no problem, a great piece of kit. However I have recently bought a new camera and splashed by a Kingston 4 GB SDHC card. The manual for my A200 to indicate seemes that it my laptop is compatible with SDHC 4 GB cards but when I push the card in the blue LED flashes and then nothing happens. My SDHC card does not seem to be recognized by the system.
I see no error in the log of the events of my OS and I checked the slots operation in trying an old 512Mb SD card and works very well.
Anyone can offer help please?
For reference, this laptop is a PSAE4E A200 model.
Thanks in advance

Some sites say it is a virus, some say it's because McAfee is worthless. What is a solid antivirus program that will fix this problem if it is a virus?
To avoid any software McAfee in conflict and other antivirus programs turn off Windows Defender on Vista spy software.
McAfee should have its own firewall as part of their suite.
If you are having problems with McAfee you contacted McAfee Support?
Or better still just delete McAfee and install a good free program like AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast.

I recently cloned my hard drive OEM of 500 GB, 5400 RPM Toshiba MK5055GSX via a standalone, dual drive bay dock for upgrade to a 750 GB, 7200 RPM, Western Digital WD7500BPKT. Since the clone/upgrade, Service Windows Update does not work and gives the message: ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running.

Problem reinstalling Windows XP
I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP. After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation. He goes back and reinstall Windows again. I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?
Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.
Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

* Original title: stand alone single Drive & WIN-7
I have a model of disc hard SimpleTech #96300-41001-170 stand alone. I can see it in the devices & Printers. but will not work. It has been designed
to work with Vista, XP & 2000. I am running Win - 7. Help, please!

Hi Mike,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
Since it has been designed to work with Vista, XP & 2000, it may not work in Windows 7 due to incompatibility problem. Therefore, I suggest you to visit the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard drive and download the driver available for the latest operating system.
If the driver is not available for Windows 7, download the compatible driver for the previous version of Windows and I install it in compatibility mode.
a. do the driver installation file right click and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.
b. check in the run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.
d. try to install the driver and verify.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

Hello
You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.
This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.
You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.
Here is the information about HP.
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703
If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.
If HP's Vista recovery disks, 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 phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Task Manager Windows 'show all processes from all users' will not work

For some reason any button "show all processes from all users" in the Task Manager will not work, when I click nothing happens, uac prompt little or nothing.
I can end processes very do well no problem it's just the show all button that does not work, I thought that maybe the taskmgr.exe in my right-click system32 folder and compatiability tab and running it as admin it would work, but the compatiability tab is completely grayed out all I can't click anything in it.
Im not a big computer wiz, but I checked my user accounts account im logged on says that it is the administrator and UAC is on.
On a side note do not know if this has nothing to do with my problem but recently my computer has got contracted a Trojan horse that has infected the mrt.exe file, I had to delete, now I get an error during windows startup associated with mrt.exe works not properly. any suggestions how to solve this problem too
