Get Windows 7 upgrade after HARD drive failure

My HARD drive has failed.  My pc came with Vista with an upgrade to 7.  The recovery disc are Vista.  How can we get 7.  It is impossible to contact HP by email.  My product ID has rubbed off.  Otherwise, I would install just 7.  Any suggestioins?

Hello

I think that HP has sent you a DVD with a key for this free upgrade a few years back. You must know where you keep now, otherwise you have to communicate with Misrosoft because it's a Microsoft product, and Microsoft's offer through agreements with other providers of material.

Kind regards.

    Hi Carolinelightfoot,

    This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

    Method 1:

    You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

    Method 2:

    You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Reinstalling operating system after hard drive failure. new hard drive is smaller

    Is it possible that I can use the smaller hard disk in my slimline model possible s3500f. The original drive has failed and needs to be replaced. I have that I bought a few years ago, it's 300 GB of the disk sata hard donkey used. The reader who couldn't amounted to 500. I don't just have money to buy another hard drive. Nor have the money to buy a vista 64 installation disc. I made the recovery discs when I bought the machine like a good girl should, but now I find out that they will not work to install the OS on the new drive, because it is smaller.

    Is there a way to get around this? My financial situation like so many others has changed radically since I bought the computer and try to get money$ $ for a new hard drive or Setup disk would take time and my son needs the computer for school, which begins this week.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who knows a solution

    Salvation, which will not work because they will not be able to send a file of 3 GB email.

    Your choices as I see it is to make a 32-bit installation media, or have your friend make the 64-bit support and you deliver the completed flash drive, after they test.

    You can start just up and then cancel the installation - just to make sure it will work.

  • HP G60-235: upgrading to Windows 7 after hard drive failure

    First of all I would like to say that I hope that it is in the right part of the Forum, if it not is not please let me know.

    I have a G60-235 HP running Vista.

    My hard drive has failed and that I had tested and it is unusable. I replaced the hard drive with an SSD and don't have an operating system.

    I can't get into the Bios and there may be some info that is needed, f, so please let me know and I'll post it.

    Is - this here anyway to check to see if my HP can handle Windows 7? I downloaded the Windows 7 advisory.

    I also looked for the evaluation version of Windows 7. I could not find. The link I followed by searching showed me the evaluation for 8.1 version.

    I would not buy the full version and find out it does not work, but I also prefer to go back to Vista is possible.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Your model must run Windows 7 well. There are even Win 7 drivers posted at HP. There are 3 different models of G60 235 (CA, DX, WM) listed, but this is an example:

  • Reinstalling windows 8 after hard drive failure

    Let's say I bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled (I'm considering the purchase Lenovo Yoga 13)

    and then one of the following things occur:
    -my hard drive dies
    -I want to repartition the hard disk and format it
    -I want to buy a new hard drive and replace the existing one
    The question: what is the safe way to reinstall the OEM of Windows 8, which comes with the laptop on a clean
    (no restore partition) hard drive?
    Here, the assumption is that I start with a laptop from work 'by default'.

    Some information:
    I read some topics on these forums and my current understanding is that the activation key for OEM Windows 8 is stored somewhere in the BIOS/UEFI and can be removed by windows installed. I'm fine with that. Where can I get the installation media in this case? In the Microsoft store I was informed (by a technician) that I would essentially need to purchase an OEM Windows 8. Certainly, I hope this gentleman, I was talking to does not know his business. I think know that by buying the windows laptop I also buy the license for this particular Windows OEM installed on it (related to hardware and all).

    Hello

    After looking around a bit, I can't find no details on a recovery device at all either. Only something about a picture "Recovery."

    The problem is that if your hard drive is a replacement or reformatted, it seems to me that the image would be useless because the software required to load it would be gone.

    Unless the 'Image' would contain the necessary software to load, and it's doubtful...

    Thus,.

    I would suggest picking up Acronis image, preferably of the Plus Pack version, or something similar...

    I tried a number of programs, including the most free, image and Acronis seems to be the better (and faster).

    There are a few programs that can detect that they have been refilled from an image and require reinstallation... That almost never seems to happen with Acronis images for some reason any.

    You can often find it for sale cheap and sometimes free after rebate, if you want to wait...

    It compresses the Image, she creates and takes much less space as a result...

    I have a 128 GB SSD, responsible for programs that absorb about 60 GB... Acronis compresses the image to 20 GB.

    It reloads the Image on ANY HDD\SSD that is large enough... 60GB for example.

    You can Image the entire drive or individual partitions... In your case, I recommend both as soon as you get the computer. Just to cover all bases.

    The only withdrawal to it is that you will need an external HARD drive or a Flash capacity...

    I make the Images of new OS every time I do a great time of change or put to date. In case of problem, 15 minutes to make a new image is nothing compared to having to start again.

    I currently have about 10 images to win 8 since I installed it taking about 180 GB...

    My understanding is that the installation of Acronis CD is also bootable... which is when you want to use it anyway. I can't confirm that at this time because my bootable CD was burned by the installed version of Acronis and I can't find the original disc to test it.

  • How do I get Windows to reinstall after the total failure of the disk?

    I had to replace my hard drive, but how to get Windows Vista version licensed as was preinstalled on my broken drive?  Thank you

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

    I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

    I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

    I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

    How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

    First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
    Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

    What about the secure boot option?
    Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

  • Get Windows on my new hard drive

    Hi all

    My old hard drive had some problems and he unfortunately passed away. I'm going through data recovery because I wasn't able to back up all files.

    However, I also get a new hard drive (SSD this time) and I need a Windows installation file to put Windows on it. I have an Alienware 17. I understand that the product key is in the BIOS itself, but I need to get a setup file of Windows 10. I checked the drivers and downloads Support Page section, but there doesn't seem to be there.

    Finally, when I get it, all I need to do is to disable Secure Boot, right?

    Thanks for your time!

    You can download Windows 10 of Microsoft as an ISO and then download the drivers from Dell.

  • HP Pavilion dv3-4310eo: recovery after HARD drive failure

    Hard drive crashed. Replaced with a new drive that is the same size as the old one (500 GB). Start the computer with the recovery DVD. When I open the Recovery Manager all the dining options are grayed out?

    Why is this? What should I do?

    I followed this guide, but the options are still grayed out. Recovery disk is not working without landing was on the backup partition (I restored it once before without problem).

    No way I pay HP for a new set of recovery discs...

    My solution is to download an iso of clean windows 7 that triggers very well with my key

    Guess I won't again have this problem and I do not have as an asset deal with all HP software crap that accompanies the last of them.

  • Reinstall Vista after hard drive failure

    My hard drive crashed and another was installed by a tech where I took the laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.  The tech installed Vista Home premium on my computer, but it wasn't my reinstallation DVD, I had Dell when I buy the system.  I need to reinstall Vista using my DVD.  Questions: 1 - do reinstall it without losing my existing data?  How do I know if the reinstallation DVD contains Service Pack 2?  The version of the technology used included SP2.  I guess it would be a problem if the DVD of resettlement was not SP2.  Thank you
