  I have photos of ship models made by the husband and I would like to install on the computer of cn.  Put in the disc, but nothing happens.  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  What do you mean by "Floppy", it's a floppy disk, a CD or a DVD?

  The last two types and relevant actions of the autoplay should be controlled by the Panel\AutoPlay control settings in Windows 7.

  All three discs is accessible via Explorer and double left click on the drive icon.  You can then copy and paste the files.

  If you have XP, then this is where you post your question.

• 10 Windows recovery media does not work on 3020MT tour

  I have a number of systems with lower upgrade Windows 7 installed by default. So I changed the firmware in the UEFI as shown:

  

  I then started the UEFI boot option dvd DVD, and then try again to install the OS, but don't have the option, I also checked the following article:

  

  but I don't get the option to install as per step 13, instead I get options for recovery / repair, same as you would get when running a recovery disk.

  I tried the firmware with or without Secure Boot enabled, that does not make a difference, I also tried to create a USB of UEFI since the DVD and use that same result.

  Finally if I go into advanced options, I choose the built in option to 'Recover' the OS from the disk, the problem with this is that it installed a clean install of Windows 10, no driver, no specific settings for Dell, no trial Office not installed that I simply want to activate.

  Thought I would try the forums before you call technical support Dell Monday.

  Any ideas?

  I would say that skip Dell support and use the installer of Microsoft...

  • No driver, but the few who are likely to be installed are fairly easy to install.
  • No Dell-specific tweaks not - other than Dell branding (which I doubt there is someone who would "want" that precisely), I'm not sure what you're talking about.
  • The trial is just the apps with installed free version Click-to-Run application - when you "activate" Office through Click-to-Run with an existing key, the files for the version that you select are downloaded from the web anyway, so there is really no reason to leave who oppose you.

• Wiping hard drive, lost Dell Home Media, can not watch DVD

  I paid a computer tech to fix my laptop froze.   He said I had bad sectors on the hard disk.  He my data backed up and deleted from my hard drive.  It has recharged my data but my Inspiron 6400 came with a disc of reloading.  Instead, there was a picture of a disk of reloading giving a Web site to go to if things had to be reloaded.  I gave this address to him, but now wonder if he used it or not.  I can't figure out how to get Dell Media without paying for it.  I loaded the Windows Media Player 11 and InterActual player and I can't watch the DVD of one or the other.  I think that I don't have correct display drivers?  If anyone can help with this, I would really appreciate it.  All I want to do is watch DVD - nothing complicated!

  Thank you

• Hard Drive C full disk cleanup does not

  My hard drive C has been fine for a long time.  Then all of a sudden in a period of about a year he started fill by itself.  I would deal with the problem with the disk cleaning and remove programs and files is no longer needed, but every time I did that it would end up a bit more than before (it would mean 40%, then fill up to 65%, then disk clean he would stay to 45% full).

  Now, I have 110 MB of space on a 30 GB C drive, and I've done everything I can.  I ran thousands of times drive cleanup, I have eliminated all the programs that I don't use, and I transferred all my music and movies on my D drive (which is fine).
  I ran several scans, but there seems to be no worm.  I can't do system restore because I did a restore a year ago.
  Is there something I can do, or is editing and re - install Vista my only option?

  Hello

  To add to the view of Mick.

  Look with in the settings of your programs to change to the D drive. You can also copy existing data to D:, just copy it and make sure everything is OK before you delete it on C: and make a backup.

• Replacing hard drive and Windows 7 has been installed now can not activate

  Original title: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE
  
  Had to replace the hard drive on my desktop. A Windows Vista. Came back with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Now I can't turn it on. As of just put Windows Vista on.

  Hello

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista. You cannot use the recovery Partition method because it should be replaced by the installation of Windows 7...

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• oxC004F061. After replacing a failed hard drive, windows 7 do not allow me to activate. I had replaced a previous hard drive with window xp verson with this same program windows 7.

  Two years ago, that a virus killed my hard drive of windows xp.  Dell has replaced the hard drive as it was under warranty, but spoke to me by getting the upgrade to windows 7.  It was installed after that the new hard drive was put in and worked great until 3 weeks ago, when the hard drive is dead again. replaced the hard drive and put it in the installation discs but do not know where I was wrong.  It will not let me activate windows and gives me the code 0 x C004F061.  I'm short on time to enable any suggestions on what to do.

• the system recovery media does not support this computer

  I have a HP G7-1365DX and the hard drive (750 GB) is a failure.  I did a recovery file on a USB key from the recovery partition and then replaced the hard drive with a 120 GB SSD.  When I tried to reinstall the USB system, I get the message "the system recovery media does not support this computer."  Is it because the hard drive was replaced by a SSD?  How to restore the system if the recovery disk does not work?

  Hello

  You are right about the source of this problem - HP recovery media often has problems of restoring the operating system on a smaller disk in quality than appeared on.

  There are a few options available.

  1. if the 750 GB drive is still able to operate, use your recovery media to perform a factory reset and then use software (or Windows 7 own imaging utility) for this clone of your SSD.

  2 create your own recovery media to use to run the installation - it would be my personal preference.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
