Hard disk is no help please

Hi, don't know if this should be in the hardware or operating system recovery because it involves all three!

I have a HP G61-110SA running Win 7 64 bit. product no. VR523EA.  Also have the serial number if necessary.  A problem is, as the laptop is 6 years old, it is difficult to remember what came with it.

While using the Thursday he suddenly froze and ctrl/alt/del not answered if I pressed the power button to turn off.  When I restarted, I got "PXE - E61 Media Test failure; check the cable.  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM.  "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any".

I don't have a boot disk that the operating system is preinstalled.  So here's what I've tried so far by reading other similar problems here.

-Ive out the HARD drive and reinstalled it.  Restart, and then says hard disk not exist.  Tried reinstalling again.  Same message.

-Created a bootable CD of Ubuntu and ran that - no response.

-Created a bootable Ubuntu USB and who has worked except Ubuntu is not displayed if the HARD drive, I can't get anything.

However, I can connect my wireless network and at least use Ubuntu in the meantime.

I ordered a new replacement (same) HARD drive (a Hitachi 320 GB 2.5 ").  So the next problem is to know how to reinstall Windows 7 without the recovery CD?  The old HDD contained the recovery partition drive or who would be located elsewhere greed still be available when the new HARD drive is installed?

If this isn't the case, I guess I can always buy HP recovery discs?  I know I should be able to create my own recovery disks, the MS sticker at the bottom of my laptop next to the details of the laptop, became too faded to read the important bits!  All that I can see is "a proof of license, certificate of authenticity, Microsoft Corporation 2005" and "Label is not to be sold separately". "»  The letters/numbers is completed for a long time.  I was able to find these otherwise?  My friend (IT Manager) says something about DBAN being able to read what the drive HARD, but not if it is fried?

Next problem - I was also using Office 2007 (think it is Home Premium).  Or it came pre-installed (unlikely)? OR it came with a 30 day trial which I could buy the full version & download full version online by linking in the trial?  I think that's what I did because I have no other way to get office for Windows 7 and even what version I had, had about 3 user licenses because I also installed it on the netbook to my son.  I have Office XP disks for my previous desktop PC (but couldn't have used those surely on Win7)?

And just to add one complaint... well I certainly got my money worth out of my old laptop, now I have to buy a new one, which is for me a treat - BUT I'm choking at the expense of replacing all the software I need!  Everything I buy a new will be Windows 8, which none of my old software was compatible with - even like when I have to before it rebuy because none of my XP software was compatible with Win7!  But on the plan positive, I suppose that if I install my new HARD drive on my old lappy, I can install Ubuntu to new HARD drive so at least my son of 11 years can navigate and surf top via Ubuntu.

Can someone answer/help on one of the above problems?  Thanks in advance.

You don't need the license key when using HP Recovery Discs.If you na not to create a recovery disk set by using the software installed on the laptop see article here > looking for recovery discs?

If you are having difficulties, please contact HP in your country / region via the portal of support in the world of HP to check the availability of the recovery disc for your computer. > Portal of Support around the world

    If you have the recovery disks, they should include your operating system (Vista) and all the drivers and programs provided with your computer. He must restore it to the way it was when you bought it originally.

    You need to update right after installation (of course).

    Good luck!

  • I need to move my pictures from internal to external hard drive... help please!

    Hello!  I use a MacBook Air OX Yosemite 10.10.5.  I need disk space and have already been warned that my drive is full.  I've immediately backed up using Time Machine.  I don't have that 4.94 GB of free space on 499,05 Go.  104.26 GB is GB 161,97 movies and Photos.

    I went to "Images" then "photo library" and touch "control C" then I opened my external HD (it is formatted for Mac) and click on "order V.  It seems that he just copied successfully.  I have verified this by clicking on each of them, then 'control' 'get info' and looked at the amount of GB each had and it's the same thing.

    My question is threefold > r: I did this right, it's the best way to ensure that all the photos and videos copied on correctly? and b: How can I remove my internal now 'photos' and use my hard drive every time I open pictures?

    and finally c: This means now that my photos will synchronize is no longer?  It's fine for me if they don't synchronize... I can do it manually, but I'm curious to know how it works if they normally go to all devices, but now is not on the internal hard drive.

    THANKS FOR MANY WHO ANSWER CALLS TO HELP ME!

    A. you did it right. You just had to copy the library of Photos to the new location, but do not delete the old library until you've checked out the new one does not work correctly.

    B. open the Photos while pressing the Alt key and search the photo library on your external drive. Choose and check that all your photos are here. After you be sure that you can remove your in-House photo library of the folder you stored it (usually the pictures folder).

  • PROBLEM WITH NETBOOK! Help, please

    Hello guys,.

    I'm having a serious problem with my HP mini 210 netbook 1028TU.

    I formatted my hard drive to create two different partitions, about a month ago and installed Windows 8 Preview Release from the Microsoft Site
    After 2 weeks of use, once Windows defender detected and quarantined 4 Trojan virus. When I saw that I tried to remove them, while eliminating the netbook suddenly stopped without any BSOD or a message.

    I tried to restart, but now it just won't start, nothing happened since the beginning of the start screen. So I did a USB bootable windows7 to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of windos7 Starter as it was over early. It went well and I deleted the partitions and developments and begin the installation. During Installation when it reaches 35%, he stopped and showed windows cannot be installed. I tried again, but now he hung up while he was showing "the installation program starts.

    Now when I start my PC it shows: -.

    Removing and reinstalling the drive is a troubleshooting step to determine if your hard disk is damaged.

    Do that first.

    If no joy, then the hard drive will be replaced by a new to make you a netbook to a usable state.

  • My drive Local (c) cannot be defrag. Help, please!

    My drive Local (c) cannot be defrag, because there is that 1% unused space. The defragmentation tool requires at least 15% to be effective. I have removed all unnecessary programs in Control Panel and use the disk clean up several times, but there are so defragmented files it will not improve the disk space. Help, please!

    You have two choices.   Buy a bigger HD and transfer data through or delete things until you get to 15%.  It's a large amount od deletion so I would opt for the drive.

    Had to reinstall my CS3 because of faulty hard drive. It does not accept my serial number as it says it is already used the maximum number of activations and says I should turn off. I can't as the hard disk failed! Please help.

    Have already tried to contact Adobe and they told me to reinstall the program. I did this and the same issue. It's crazy. I can not turn off something that I did not more...

    Thank you.

    No - I had, of course, tried all these things. Finally, I had someone (after several days) on the personal chat group that could fix and it did it in a few minutes. Too bad that nobody else seemed to be able to do. Adobe is very soft.

    I can't thank enough the other person - it was amazing.
