Hard drive failure immanent - have spare hard drive to install, but you need to know how

Reading "HDD error" message says the hard drive is about to give up and I need to save - great - I have a spare hard drive that I can install - now the question is how can I transfer my copy of vista64 from a hard disk on my machine to another drive on the same machine.
Yes, I saved all the documents vital to an external hard drive.

Hard drive manufacturers normally provide their software websites of cloning to what you want to do...

And there are 3rd Party Software to do you buy:

Or try this:

How to get Vista recovery Media.

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

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  • I have a Matshita DVD/CD UJ890JS. I need to know how to activate the readability of the disc and the ability to read and format new discs.

    I uninstalled the device and reinstalled it which didn't work. Even downloaded the drivers and software do not help. I have too much important data on my computer to make a full recovery, is not an option.

    Help!

    Maybe the disc is worn out?  You can buy a replacement for it for $20, and you can buy an external DVD/CD burner for as little as $30.  Those external plug into a USB port.

    Once you have your system back as you I invite you to buy an external hard drive and a good 3rd party backup program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is about $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program is the Easeus todo backup free that you can download from
    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • Windows XP "Apple Mobile Device Driver not installed not" device need driver mobile HELP running XP service pack 3 using an iphone 4

    Problems with the iphone 4 who it says in itunes that "Apple Mobile Device Driver not found" and nothing happens when it is connected to the USB port on charge even not. Running Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 3. but think I deleted all the drivers mobile when I uninstalled my Blackberry and removed the current mobile device drivers. Apple went through just fine and everything is OK it is a problem of PC and XP. Microsoft help put me on this site because need to know how to solve this problem I hope that somewhere there are mobile device drivers that work with the iphone? Site Internet de Microsft has 5 mobile device for Windows 7 drivers, but not for XP. Need help!

    Evasive classic.  It's always the problem of the other guy.

    And the classic response of some evil-educated person "technical support":

    Microsoft help put me on this site

    If the error message says 'Mobile Apple Device not found Driver' then it's an Apple problem, pure and simple.  The device driver mobile for the iPhone comes from Apple, not Microsoft.

    Do you remember what you were doing when you "deleted all the drivers mobile when I uninstalled my Blackberry and removed the current mobile device drivers?"

    Probably not... and you have not explained what has been included in "Apple went through everything."  It is time to start over by removing everything related to Apple and then put it back correctly.

    First, however, the fact that the iPhone does not load even when connected to a USB port is a bit worrying.  Works in everything else in this USB port (for example, a USB flash drive)?

    Have you tried all the USB ports on your computer?  Take a look in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) and see if there are any icons showing warning.  If so, double-click on the entry and information "device status".

    Take a look at the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK).  There is no need to go far.  Connect your iPhone, then look at the newspapers (System and Application) for since a few minutes see if there are any errors or warnings.  If so, double-click on it to get the event properties window, and then click the "Copy" icon (just below of the)

    Have you tried to recharge the iPhone using the adapter connected to Apple's USB cable?  Does it work?

    Have you tried to connect the iPhone to another computer?  With what results?

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    I understand that you had a problem with the touchpad for months because it is not responding. Although the driver is listed in programs and features in the Device Manager is not listed.

    Have you checked for virus and malware?

    Have you done all Windows updates?

    Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to facilitate updates of HP?

    First you would try this step.  Some models, you can enable or disable the touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad.  Please see if it is applicable for you.

    Then in Device Manager, view hidden devices and search the hardware changes see if the touchpad now will be seen.

    Most of the cameras equipped with a cable to connect to a computer via usb.
    Plug in, turn on the camera, windows should it detect automatically as a removable drive.
    Use windows Explorer to access this drive and drag-and - drop photos you want on your pc.
    If you have a card reader, you can remove the card from the camera, put it in the drive and then browse your removable drive and drag and drop your photos.

    I have a toshiba satellite T135D laptop and I don't know how to start my built in webcam which program should I use?

    Hello George,.

    I could not find this model number on the Toshiba site, so I suggest that you look at this page as a place to start your search: http://support.toshiba.com/drivers . They had a driver for a webcam, which is perhaps what you are missing. But in all cases, the Toshiba site is where you are most likely to solve the problem with the help of your webcam.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    You must have installed a Windows 7 64-bit driver (if it exists)
    for this. Do you have? Otherwise, navigate to the web site of the camera
