• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Pavilion p7-1414: HARD drive replaced and now...

  The hard drive failed on my desk. I replaced and ordered the site of HP recovery media. When I try to make the recovery all I get is a message that "the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore the system with the media. What in the world do I do now?

  @Mustknow38

  I brought your question to the attention of a team within HP. They are likely to ask for information from you to get your information or product serial number. Please search for a private message from a contact HP identified. Also, remember not to publicly display personal information (serial numbers and information).

• HARD drive replacement and keep the Windows license

  I recently bought a laptop computer HP, used, which comes with Windows 8.

  It is out of warranty.

  Microsoft says that I can not use the serial key associated with settling on a facility "retail."

  So, I can't just write the serial key and install from a USB key.

  Is there a way I can buy a new HARD drive and use the license provided with the laptop?

  Edit: Forgot to mention the reader will fail to the review of the short DST and Windows slows to an analysis minutes after starting.

  Thank you very much for the help. This seems to be what I wanted.

• Hard drive replacement and CC membership

  I am ready to upgrade the hard drive on my MacBook Pro and would like to know how this may affect my CC software installation. I will clone my current drive with Carbon Copy Cloner on the new drive before you install it. My CC membership continue uninterrupted with the new player?

  I do not know this tool, but I do not know who built it in (?) Migration and Time Machine tools do NOT work with Adobe programs because they didn't "catch" hidden registration files

  You must ask the provider of that cloning program if they know files to record hidden... otherwise, deactivate on old and re - install the new drive

• Security of the data to hard drive replaced under warranty

  My laptop is fixed by virtue of the extended due to a hard drive failure warranty. HP has no problem, replace the defective drive. However, I asked that they return the drive failed for me, because it contains personal data and I want to make sure it is properly destroyed. They refuse to send me the original drive, unless I have pay $290 for it. Otherwise they will simply ship the laptop to me not repaired.

  I am very hurt to her comfortable while simply trust that the reader will be well destroyed. I hear too many stories on data personal discs playing in landfills or elsewhere. I don't know that it would happen to HP, but then I don't know it won't, either, and it is not a value of potential risk.

  Does anyone know what HP is doing to "destroy" a hard drive? Alternatively, anyone has any advice on how to convince HP to return my hard drive of origin for no additional cost, as it should be without me having to jump through hoops?

  I can assure you that all personal data is secure when HP parts for refurbished devices used. HP treats thousands of thousands of pieces per day. Unless your failed hard drive is labeled "TOP SECRET" noone will give him a second glance. It merely add to the line, dismantled and the parties go into hp quality tests where they create parts for refurbished devices. The trays are too sensitive for them to be swapped around without a clean room. They are destroyed. probably thrown in a dumpster somewhere. Once that any type of dust gets on the trays the discs are unreadable, even if they have been good before he was saying-assembled. It is not cost-efficiant to slow production just to get the trays on a hard drive in a clean room. It is easier to throw away them and have a machine to replace

• If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer?

  Packed HARD drive

  If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?

  If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?

  Yes.

  Not at all.

  N °

  If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish.  A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.

  Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer...  Then you have a problem.

  Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

  I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  Here is a link to the trial version:

  Adobe - Lightroom: For Macintosh: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

  Adobe - Lightroom: For Windows: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

  It comes to the trial version, but it can be activated with your existing serial number. If you do not have your serial number, but that you have registered your Adobe Lightroom then you can log into your account enter your serial number. If you register your software and you do not have a record of your serial number, then you need to contact Adobe. Serial numbers are crucial, and it takes to ensure that you have access to them for situations like the one you are in.

• Error message "" serial number entered is valid, but calling it a product irritate lies on this computer "appears." Cannot reinstall CS5.5 on my macbook pro after that hard drive crashed and was replaced.

  Error msg "the serial number you entered is valid, but cannot find a product calling on this computer" appears. Impossible to reinstall CS5.5 on Macbook pro after the hard drive crashed and was changed.

  Hello

  Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.
