• Satellite C660-1HP - hard drive crashed in 2 days

  I bought a Toshiba laptop(C660-1CV) to a local dealer just before two days. I had loaded VMware with couple of VMs and other important software.

  Despite my company insisting lenevo I went for Toshiba because I trust the brand and I had a real experience with Toshiba. Today morning after two days of buying laptop, the hard drive crashed and I got a black screen with no guest OS, nothing. My dealer said that he cannot do what I have to consider service of Al Futtiam centre. The hard drive just re-connected service center guys and it didn't work, he was immediately made a statement that the hard drive needs to be replaced and it will be another 4 to 5 days. He said to take a backup of your data, I have to pay 99 AED. Isn't it strange? My own laptop which is just 2 days has crashed and I have to pay to get my data. The technical guy has no other troubleshooting procedures except reconnect the hard drive.

  I care about her climbing at a correct level in Toshiba. If anyone has contacts in the region of the UNITED Arab Emirates forward to me.

  Hi pmavani,

  I'm sorry to hear that this HARD drive died after 2 days that are not normally but these things can happen, especially with the HARD drive, it is a mechanical part. But the don t worry that this case is covered by the warranty in order to obtain free of charge a new HDD to an authorized service and the guy said that it takes 4 or 5 days. It s ok for the laptop can be fixed within a week.

  > He says to take a backup of your data, I have to pay 99 AED. Isn't it strange?
  No, that s not quite strange. Backup doesn t warranty coverage, you should do it yourself. Which is the reason why you must install and configure the backup software before doing anything.

• 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 son's hard drive crashed. We have installed a new drive is in any way to get windows vista comes with the purchase of a new copy.

  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

• My hard drive crashed, I have my key of win 7 but no disc how to recover the software?

  Hello, my hard drive crashed and can't access my pc so I bought another one, but I don't know how I can install win7 to my new hard drive, I tried to retrieve the windows product key with software, but it did not work, what should I do?

  Microsoft also does Digital River for Windows 7 downloads. Windows 10 will soon be out, and you are eligible for a free upgrade of your Windows 7 OEM license.

  Know you can not install Windows 7, so the best thing for you to do is to install Windows 10 10130. It's beta software, but it is very stable. You will be able to use Windows 10 Insider 10130 as a springboard to Windows 10 RTM outside at the end of next month.

  See here for instructions on downloading Windows 10 10130 x 64 .iso Insider and prepare the USB support:

  After 3 months my new hard drive crashed. I was sent a NEW hard drive. What I have to do to recharge my windows 7?

  You have an installation DVD? Boot from it and follow the instructions for a clean install.

  If the boot order of your computer is not set to the CD/DVD drive to be first, you first need to enter the BIOS Setup program and change it to the one here.

• How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

  In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
  Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

  Hello

  You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
  If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
  In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

  Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

  I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

  PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

• HP Probook s 4530: HARD drive crashed - no possibility of recovery of windows 7

  Dear Sir

  A few weeks ago my hard drive crashed, it was not possible to repair the HARD disk, so I ordered a new HARD drive.

  I thought that I was able to download and install Windows 7 onto the new HARD drive with the product on the back of my laptop, but when I try to download it from the Microsoft Web site I get a message saying that there is a problem with the request for approval. In further research, this can only for commercial versions, not pre-installed versions.

  So, how can I get Windows 7 now on my laptop?

  Product: Laptop HP 4530 s

  Series: CNU1263BN9

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64)

  If I need to provide more information please let me know.

  Kind regards

  Mayuur

• Satellite L955-100 - HARD drive crash / no recovery disk

  Hi all

  I think I have a huge problem, so I would like your advice.
  Yesterday, my HARD drive crashed and a noise 'click of death '.

  My warranty has already expired, and of course I did not the recovery discs...

  I know that it was stupid to forget something, but even if I would like to ask you if you have another solution to my problem.

  Already, I thought about buying a new HARD drive, but then my problem is still not having access to my Windows 8 (which was on the recovery partition).

  Thanks in advance,

  Michel

  In my opinion, you should simply replace the HARD drive and need to use the recovery disk that you could order at Arvato Services
  The disc isn't expensive; round about 30

  Maybe you want to increase the performance of the computer laptop buying an SSD?
  The SSD is a bit more expensive that a common SATA HDD, but believe me: it will significantly increase the performance of the laptop

• After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive but who eventually became my only internal, because I live on an island in South America and there is virtually nobody on the island I live it can he

  After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

  In the future more facts and less editorial help here

  SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem

  What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)

  You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries

  You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock

  When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library

  I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings
