HARD drive crashed, need for Vista OS.
Hello
I'd appreciate help with the following problem.
I bought a new series, G5000 HP Laptop with Vist pre insalled a few years ago and had used the recovery disk HARD to re install the OS a couple of times when the problems occurred.
The HARD drive is now broke and is unrecoverable, and I installed a new HARD drive, but I don't have an OS disk, even if the product is registered.
I don't want to buy another copy of Vista, because I already have the product code, I'm computer savvy, but do not know what the next move is, Ms. will provide a floppy disk to allow me to re install the operating system.
Appreciate any help,
Thank you.
Hello
In the same way that it is possible to create a disc of the retail of Windows 7, use this to perform the installation, and then use the OEM windows 7 activation key from COA label, the same process is possible if your laptop comes with Vista. A complete description (including links to downloads of Vista Image) of it on the following link. The Image you use must be the same as the version initially installed on your laptop.
Software extra and you may need drivers to find from here.
Kind regards

I may be able to start my drive enough to get something out of windows itself, but the drive does often not at all. The recovery partition is toast as well. It is a true copy of Vista 32 bit Home Edition, but the key on the bottom is almost completely dissipated, essentially unusable. How should I proceed?

Hard drive crashed after upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7
* Original title: HARD drive Crash / Win7 for 10 Upgrade... bad timing!
I have a PC running OEM Win7 x 64... just did the free update to Win10 a few days ago. HARD drive just crashed hard. I did an ISO when I upgraded to Win10. I'm trying now reinstall on another HARD drive... and no matter if I use Win7 OEM drive or ISO Win10 disc, it tells me that the activation code is invalid. I was under the impression that, as long as the mobo (and everything else except the HARD disk) is the same, Windows will allow you to reinstall with the key?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

After the upgrade to Windows 10, you cannot use your Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key.

Hard drive crashed. You need to activate Vista Home Premium.
Mick,
My Gateway laptop hard drive crashed. I bought the new hard drive and installed Vista Home Premium with the recovery disk came with the laptop. After you have installed the software it tells me that I need to activate it. It asks for a product key, but one that came with the laptop is dissipated down. I can't read the product key. So, how can I activate the operating system if it stops telling me to activate it. I wouldn't have to pay for another key because I already paid for it. Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash
When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer. Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate. The file is stored in my service digital locker. I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer). In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD. However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional). Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."
Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer? If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature? Thanks in advance!

My hard drive crashed and I need to re - install Dreamweaver CS3
My hard drive crashed and I need to re - install Dreamweaver CS3. I have my license, but I can't find a copy of the software. I found some comments that Adobe makes available for download. I want to continue to use this version. Anyone has any ideas on where I can find a copy of Dreamweaver CS3?
If you follow the 7 steps you can dl a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate it with your serial number.
If you have a problem dl'g, you don't follow all 7 steps. the most common mistake is not meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?
Contact the manufacturer of your computer.
Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.
Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.
If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.
See you soon.
