Hard drive is dead, bought win8.1 to install with the new player because I lost everything

My hard drive crashed and was lost. I bought a new hard drive and installed it as a new win8.1 operating system. Apart from the hard drive and operating system, nothing else has chenged. I want t orecover HP programs I had on the PC before the accident that were installed as part of the initial purchase of HP. How do I do that? I have discs of recovery, but caused by viruses, was skeptical about their performance on the new hard drive... also, had problems with OS win7 and talk to the HP support who says I have to buy a new drive and could not download...

Sorry, all I could find for individual download in 8.1 win would be Cyberlink Power2Go

You can Google for the rest, but can be paid versions.  Doubt that the free versions would be compatible with Win 8.1

  • Hard drive broke down. How to reinstall Windows on the new drive?

    Hi all

    I have a HP probook 4320 s to which the hard drive broke down yesterday. I ' v tried meny methods to remedy, but that ship has sailed.

    So, I bought an SSD (better do good then). Given that HP provides records of Windows and that deliveries on a partition of repair tools I don't have the software to reinstall Windows 7.

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge about it? Download order an installation Windows from HP?

    Please advice. I'm working on a Pentium 4 Windows XP at the moment. :-(

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    If you are in a hurry and want to install W7 before your recovery disks are shipped to you, you can download the version of windows 7, which has been installed on your PC and is indicated on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC.  For example, if windows 7 Pro came with your laptop and is indicated on your COA sticker, you can download the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of windows 7 Pro in language comes with your PC, and use the 25-character product key on your COA to activate the software.

    You must use the language of the operating system that comes originally installed on the PC or the product key will not work.

    You will need a program capable of burning ISO to DVD files, burning, so that the DVD is bootable DVD.

    Then just go to the support for your laptop and driver page to download and install the drivers you need.

    Link to all versions of W7. These are real files to Microsoft.

  • Hard drive crashed and used a disk that came with the office, but says he is not genuine and can not activate

    I have a dell vostro 1500 laptop, the hard drive crashed with vista home premium OS, I bought a new rank up and used a disc that came with a desktop vostro albums I bought, but this office came with Windows XP on it more with a WINDOWS 7 operating system... I used this drive to reformat the computer laptop vostro 1500 and now he tells me is not genuein, although I've never opened ti day untilt he I reformat the laptop.

    I did something illegal... Please exlain if did it.

    you use a key OEM SLP to win 7, which requires a bios compatible win 7 for activation of the auto. 20/06/2008 bios date is well before win 7 is out.

    you will need to buy a genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that.

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  • Windows activation - new hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but will not work with the product key

    Hi all

    My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.

    Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?

    Thank you

    Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!

  • After installing the new hard drive and using recovery discs, I get this message could not start because the following file is m issing or damaged system32\drivers\pci.sys

    I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that! Basically the hard drive was about to fail and I so now the new one installed and I used my recovery disks and all seemed well until the recovery disks have been completed and the computer says to get out them. Then the computer restarted several times and then I get this message:

    Hello panjok2,

    Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive.  If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.

    In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case.  If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards

  • laptop HP 2000: hard drive is dead

    Ive got a hp mod #2000 - 2d19wm, his 11 months and I just got an offer to extend my warranty, the day after my drive hard crashed and I couldn't start, no os win8 and I haven't had a recovery disc, (hp said that it system has a cover upwards in the system). Yes! I know that the partetion is on the hard drive! I spent several days troubleshooting, read, learn, and all trouble shooters steps hp gave me hope would be some slap how some sense into my hard drive and maybe he's waking up! Finally, I removed the back cover to check the hard drive, comfirming that it is plugged into the motherboard and all is good! then I see a scratch (I had to get my Jewelers magnifying glass out to see), u shaped a stripe, yes I slipped withdrawal h.d. cover a few days before scratching the back of the plate on the hard drive, don't think that I got it wrong, but I did, closely with the Jewelers tool I see that I removed some of the circuits in copper , I took the blame and bought my own hard drive, I didn't try to cheat the warranty, but i got angry when I saw the robust plastic but who protects the card of 4 GB of ram, Yes under the RAM door is a nice guard protecting are encountered when the door is removed, not on the hard disk where is any storage , its more expensive to replace and I now have got to pay hp $ 30.00 to get a copy of an o.s. IVe already purchased once.  My mess up would not have happened if the hard drive was protection!  but I already own the rights to 8.1 o.s. on this comp with this product key! It should be available for free download for hp with a valid hp STILL UNDER WARRANTY product customers.

    Yes, there is a recovery partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the plant if the event of a problem.  In your documentation, you had the possibility for your to create recovery discs to restore your computer.  If you don't have them then you will need to buy recovery disks to restore it on a new hard drive.

    BONE loss is not part of the warranty so you should order the recovery disks.

    However, if you have your license key, you can download and create an ISO of Windows 8.1 and burn it to DVD or USB key.  As I said, you must have the Windows 8 key that was originally on your system.  It does not contain the extras of HP software that came with your system.  Here is a link:

  • Lenovo V580c HARD drive is dead, can't boot from DVD or other medium

    We have computer laptop lenovo V580c whose HARD drive died - he was already 2 times lol refubrished and it died again. It has Windows preinstalled 8/8.1 and we have upgraded to Windows 10 recently. But as the HARD drive is dead, we need to reinstall the system on the new drive (we of this msata ssd). In any case, I tried to start Notepad with DVD with burned ISO of Windows 10 clean image, but the laptop won't boot from the DVD all of a sudden. No change in the BIOS could help solve - laptop everything simply does not recognize any drive now. He goes through all the boot options and stopped at the initialization of the network which we have not. And then, we see just a small windows with the boot option that do not in any way. Here are some photos: http://imgur.com/a/6R185 http://imgur.com/a/112HY http://imgur.com/a/K1k8Q I have tried BIOS posible lall lifestyles, responsible security settings, used UEFI/legacy/the two, disabled/enabled secure boot. Nothing helps and the laptop is literally unusable now because it's not accept any storage/disk to start. I even tried to remove any startup as HARD drive unit, DVD and new msata I tested before. Computer laptop while still not trying to boot. Of course, it is out of warranty now. What can I do to fix it and make acept to boot from the DVD again? I don't want perair service because it wil cost us money. This product should work in the first place. We had so many bad experience with lenovo with this laptop that I won't buy another their product more.

    You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
    you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a

  • Satellite P100-257 does not work with the new drive HARD WD SATA II 320 GB

    Please could someone knows how to solve my problem.
    I bought new HARD drive to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P100-257:
    Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS 320 16 MB
    (Originally was installed Toshiba MK6034GSX 60 GB HARD drive)
    When installing Windows XP (from Toshiba disk recovery or all other disks), when the Installer starts copying the files to the temporary directory HDD (after HDD format) encounter a problem like "cannot write files to the HARD drive.
    I tried to format the drive before installation (even to split to 2 smaller logical drives).
    Also I have updated the BIOS at 2009-03-04.
    But nothing changes.
    What is the problem?

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive has been recognized because you can receive the error message about the Master Boot Record.

    I think that there is something wrong with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    I put t know how you formatted the HARD drive, but I think that you must first reinstall the operating system on a partition in order to check the functionality of the HARD drive.

    Once you have started using the Windows XP disk, try to create more than one partition and this format to NTFS. Then follow the installation of the OS!

  • Recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive?

    Hello, everyone.

    I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    Error code: 0100-30 FC-3602-3603

    The original hard drive was a Hitachi, 320 GB SATA

    The new hard drive is a WD 500 GB SATA

    Any assistance anyone can give would be great. :]

    Thank you for your time,

    EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

    For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.
