• 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?

  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

• HP Pavilion DV6-6c35dx: potential problems with OS driver install the new hard drive?

  I want to spend the hard drive of my laptop, but my laptop did not come with recovery discs. I buy a full copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I did save it... because when everything has failed, I guess. If I'm able to reinstall Win 7 Home or if I have to install Win 7 Pro, how can I be sure to reinstall all drivers HP (p. ex., trackpad, meaning cool, beats audio, etc.) for my machine? It is best to download the drivers before you install the new hard drive and have them ready on a flash drive. or is there an easier way? Thank you.

  I personally prefer the new OEM installation & then get required drivers to download for HP support for your laptop model.

  It is slower and more difficult to do if it is not too well known, but the end result is much better.

  If your system has flaws you should try to fix first, but better long-term results come from clean install generally.

• had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

  My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

  What should I do to activate Windows successfully?

  Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?

• my laptop was preloaded and hard drive crashed. Do I have to buy a new drive to install the new hard drive?

  My laptop that I bought in January this year has been preloaded with windows 7 starter. I don't have the installation disc. What I have to buy one in order to install the new hard disk

  Have you given up on trying to resolve why the computer won't start? You will need to provide more information about what happens when you try to start the computer. There are several reasons for which a computer does not start and a damaged operating system is only one. Please describe in detail what happens when you press the button.

  Remember that a computer bought in January 2011 is very likely still covered by the warranty.

  In the event of failure of the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) system, if that's what you see, for most users there is sufficient time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

  If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

  If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

  You can get the computer to boot by following the advice in the following link:

• Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

  Hello.

  Another problem.
  When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
  Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

  So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

  Hi mate

  You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
  You must install it in the Device Manager.

  Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

  But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

They gave me support online printing that I just need to install it in the laptop and would not need the disc to install the operating system.

• Satellite L650 - 1 M 0 - cannot install the new display driver

  Hello!

  I have the Toshiba Satellite L650 - 1 M 0, and I can't install the new drivers for my graphics card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD website. Why can't I do it? I want to install the latest display drivers, because I have problems with the display mode. My laptop is set to 16:9, but some programs display in 4:3.

  Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what can I do to download the drivers from the website of AMD. I have Windows 7 64 x;).

  > Why can't I do it?
  I m wondering really you ask something like that. It is well known that the support for mobile devices (laptops) is offered by laptop manufacturer and not by the hardware manufacturer.

  Because of the design of specific laptops with limited cooling performance graphics card can not be upgraded as on maps graphics designed for desktop computers. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be damage of graphics card or switch-offs due to temperature-critical material.

• Satellite L630-10R - cannot install the new display driver

  I wanted to update my display driver, so I removed the 'old', but now I can not install new, when I start the Ati catalyst Wizard there is no display driver must be installed, I can only install the new installation manager. In addition, my graphics card has been recognized as HD 5145 by windows and is now recognized as HD 4500 Series.

  How I can install the new drivers?

  Hey,.

  Why you wanted to update the display driver? Have you had any problems?

  Well, I also put t know why you are not able to install the display driver, but where did you downloaded the current version? Toshiba page or the ATI site?
  I recommend you to download the drivers of Toshiba page only because pilots are pre-tested by Toshiba.

  What operating system is installed?
  Usually, you can also install the drivers manually through the Device Manager. This is why open Device Manager, select the graphics card and choose update drivers. Then use advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
