• Re: How to install Windows from a recovery on a new hard disk media?

  Immediately after a Windows Update, my computer will not re-start. It says disk error.

  I could not start it from the recovery media and F8 would not work. I bought and installed a new hard drive. Now, when I put in the recovery media to install Windows on the new drive, it gives an error message.

• Install Windows from secondary hard drive

  I have a sony vaio vgn-ar825e I am trying to install windows 7 on. Because it's a double hard drive, I put a second hard drive in it with windows 7 already installed on it. Is it possible to install windows from disk hard secondary to primary works hard drive?

  AFAIK, you can boot from a second internal drive, but your BIOS must be able to select the second drive, and I'm not sure that the average laptop BIOS has the ability.

  You better boot and install from a flash drive. In addition, it is a good idea to remove or unplug the secondary internal drives during the installation of an operating system...

• HP Envy 17, Win 7 64 bit - how to re - install windows when the old hard drive failed?

  The laptop won't boot and drive fails Diagnostics to market. Restore does not work and take the hard drive on the laptop & connection on my desktop I can not access the recovery partition. The laptop is out of warranty.

  I have a replacement drive, but as I have no install disc and cannot access the recovery partition how can I reinstall the Windows OEM 7 new hard disk?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  If the full 25-character windows activation key is visible on the Microsoft Windows COA on your laptop, you can download an identical iso file from here and install Windows.

  Download the drivers from the HP support for your laptop computer portal. Put them on a flashdisk usb (USB key) for ease of installation.

  Use the Microsoft Windows 7 USD\DVD download tool and a 4 GB usb (thumbdrive) flashdisk for the fastest and most reliable Windows installation medium.

  The value in this way you can have your laptop in a usable state while you wait for your ordered recovery disk.

• How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

  Hi all

  I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

  That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.

• Install windows from DVD removes the original windows supplied with my notebook recovery?

  recently I formatted my laptop with a DVD of Windows 8.1 only language, but I want to install windows and settings that came with my laptop.

  recently I formatted my laptop with a DVD of Windows 8.1 single language but I want to install this windows and settings that came with my laptop.

  Hello

  It may or may not.

  We have no idea how you have it installed.

  When you install from the DVD, you choose what happens with partitions.

  If you don't know what you're doing, look in disk management and see what are the partitions on your hard drive, even if the recovery partition is still there.

  And maybe it's still there does not say that it is still accessible after you do what you were doing.

  Ask the manufacturer what key/s support to start reinstalling the OS and see if it still works or not.

  See you soon.

• I recently had to re - install Windows XP on my computer and lost all my stored programs. Now my speakers do not work. The control panel says no audio device. What should I do to recover my audio? None

  My audio does not work. It worked before I re-install Windows XP. What should I do? I'm supposed to have an audio installation disc? I'm new on the technical aspect of computers, so I know only the basics?

  Using the Device Manager is a good way to get the drivers, but if you do a clean install on a computer or laptop, you must download the supplied drivers initially installed on the computer or laptop to the manufacturer. that is, if you have a Dell, then go to the Dell website.
  the site Web of HP/Compaq
  the Site of Asus
  Acer site
  Alienware website (Now owned by Dell)
  eMachines Web site
  IBM Web site
  Sony Web site
  Toshiba Web site

  Have I no all the em? Anyway, if you have a driver supplied with the computer disc, use this cuz he'll have original manufacturer drivers and the software that you get on the website anyway.
  Also, if it's a Dell, you would like to have a look and print their Instructions on how to install the drivers, Dell cuz drivers must be installed in a specific order.
  Good luck.

• HP Pavilion p6 - 2176 s: install Windows 7 on SSD without disc

  Hello

  I want to install Windows 7 on an SSD (I plan on getting a Samsung 850 Evo 128 GB) but I can't get one any file or installation disk. My PC did not come with a disk, only a code produced on the case. I went to the site of software recovery of Microsoft and typed code, but he told me that the product was not supported, as it was an OEM copy. I could try to create a restoration disk using the recovery on my main hard drive partition, but I heard the average success rate that was weak. Any suggestions on how to get the OS on the SSD drive? I have a 16GB Flash Drive if necessary void.

  Yes it is a way to do it.

  If your hard drive still has the partition recovery on it, you can use the feature of factory restore from the Recovery Manager which will effectively drive to the same state that when you got the computer.  Coaurse, there will be a lot of bloatware which you could uninstall before cloning.

  If the recovery partition does not work and you have not created discs recovery when you got the computer, you can order them from HP.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number...  1-800-334-5144.

  If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the support number HP business PC for the country where you live.

• I found in my logs event before I even had my PC delivered they had a problem installing Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, and this error message is listed under Windows-Setup: 0xC000000D

  I have nothing else problems with my new system had in the past 2 months and have done two factory restores.  I get the "your video driver has failed but recovered" several times a day, it progresses freezing and, sometimes, the old bue screen.  I worked with the manufacturer and they took all original event logs before we did the restoration of 1.  After a Microsoft Update, it was even worse that I did a second on 10/18.  You went out with an update again and things seem to be OK until yesterday when it started happening again and again.  So I went in the event logs to see what they said and I found the error message a week before the system arrived even at my doorstep.  It seems whenever I did a factory restore it just keeps reloading the same problem!  Since they send you the REAL DISKS any more there is no way own things off and really repair the enrire thing - if it's still possible for an average user.  Other information: Journal name Microsoft Windows Kernel-EventTracing/Admin Source connected to kernel-EventTracing 2010-08-06 19:53:04 Evnet 3 category of task ID: Session-level: error keywords: Session OpCode: stop

  There are several other error messages that appear on a regular basis, not to mention the display driver one - that is the most obvious to me.  I saved the newspaper while they cannot get lost.  You can see that this same error message when I did the last factory restore on 10/18 is still original and mistakes so I could look at just to be reinstalled again.  My question is what is it, can it be repaired or do you need to strip ALL of this machine?  And while you will never say so, shouldn't they have taken this BEFORE they sent this computer to a client?

  Check with your PC vendor to determine if updated video drivers are available.
  Download and install if necessary. The video drivers are often buggy when
  originally published, so what you see is not unusual. I hope it's a
  minor issue if you had not seen the papers you would have noticed.

• Is it possible to install XP from an old computer is no longer works, to a new computer?

  My computer is broken. Can I use the same product key for my new PC or need to buy another product key?

  * original title - Activation of Windows *.

  Hi albial,

  If your copy of XP OEM means it was pre-installed on your old computer, you won't be able to use it on your new computer, because it is related to this specific computer only.

  If your copy of XP was a commercial copy full that was purchased, then you can use it on your new computer.

  In addition, if you are able to install XP on your new computer, please see the following article on how to enable:

• How can I get a license of Windows 7 for a laptop that had 8 pre-installed Windows?

  Hi all, a few weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite (from retail store) that came with Windows pre-installed on it 8. It did come with any CD or serials, and the only indication of Windows 8 is a small sticker on the back that said simply "Windows 8"and door Windows 8 logo in Brown.»

  Short time (30 minutes) after trying Windows 8 on the laptop, I was fed up with it and all, wiped install Xubuntu instead of Windows 8. And now I'm eager to return to Windows, although not of Windows 8.
  How would it be possible for me to get a key and an image of Windows 7 to install? I don't know where to go, given that the laptop came with no documentation of Windows. I don't have the serial number of the laptop.
  Thank you!

• Envy 17 3277NR: impossible to boot and install Windows from a DVD 8.1

  Hi, I have an ENVY 17 (3277nr) with windows 8.1 in it, but I can't update because several months ago so I decided to reinstall the OS, so I went on the windows site that allows you to download an ISO image of windows 8.1 to burn it to a disc (right now I don't have a USB 4 GB at hand but is also possible).

  I have already burned the disc on the right by clicking on the ISO and selecting "burn disc image" and changed the options start, but every time I turn on my computer all them I see is a simple underscore and then the regular windows 8 start screen.

  I already visited invention helps in this regard and I read things like the thing UEFI windows 8 (not on my laptop because I upgraded to w7) and the security settings on the BIOS, but none of them seem to solve the problem.

  Additional details:

  Curiously, while trying to open the burned dvd, it is said that 4.37 GB on 4.37 GB, do you think my dvd drive could be damaged?

  PLEASE, HELP ME, BEEN 4 DAYS OF THIS HELL :/

  @killerpollo ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  The first thing I'd like to try in this case is download and burn the ISO from another computer.

  If you have already set your boot options to boot from the CD/DVD and a new dvd is still not read you may have a hardware problem with your dvd player.

  Is the DVD read DVD player when you started up windows?

  So I try to put the image on a USB key and try that.

  I find from time to time when I use the windows software to make an ISO, it is hit and miss you.  There is there other software that you can try, and some are free or so-called share ware.

  Now, even if you burn a good image, you started with a Windows 7 system.  The real picture is more than a UEFI and you will not be able to read if your system is defined as a legacy system.

  Here's what you want to check.

  UEFI boot or legacy - tips

  UEFI and the Start Menu

  Site of burn free Image.

  Now if your system shipped with Windows 7 product key you have for your system does not work for Windows 8.1. It is something that you will want to consider.

  Let me know how things are going.

  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• Can I transfer my license key of Windows from an old PC to my Mac?

  Windows license question

  My PC crashed. I bought a Mac. Can I transfer the Windows Lic. for my new MAC? I will also go to the virtual machine on the MAC so Windows should work. Just not sure how to notify MS, my PC crashed and I need to transfer?

  If the copy of PC comes with Windows preinstalled, you can not.  Windows OEM copies that come preinstalled on a computer chip when the computer dies.  If you purchased your copy of Windows in a store, just go ahead and install it.
