Hard drive swapping and the operating system between two laptops of R61e

I have a R61e who broke chassis. Not a left hinge broken, but broke up chassis where the left hinge connects.

I have the opportunity to buy a used one with no operating system.

Both are of type 7650 and all have two 80 GB hard drive.

Will it work if I just reverse this HARD drive with the operating system for the new portable computer?

Yes, it should work without major problems.

In the worst cases, you need to update to a couple of pilots.

Good luck.

    Do I USE creative cloud as an external hard drive pour update my operating system?

    The main cloud Creative program must be installed on your system's main drive - then you can't have the whole installation on a separate disk.  Applications can be installed on a different disk.

    Hello

    Do you not need to run all the operating systems on the machine? With the help of VMware or similar is the way to go, but with this card, you don't have much choice, you must upgrade first to 8 GB of RAM. It comes with FreeDOS, you need at least a host operating system in order to run the virtual machine.  At this point, Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate is the starting point.

    Good luck.

  • Installation hard drive with Windows XP operating system in another computer

    Why can't I remove the hard drive with Windows XP already active and install in another computer?

    No, you need to reinstall the operating system.  However, if XP and vista came with the computer as OEM software, it cannot be legally activated.  The reason why it does not is the difference in hardware.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

    I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

    When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

    Another reference:

    Microsoft does not support changing the location of the program files

  • VMware - script the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

    Hello.

    Trying to determine the exact steps to automate the entire process of creating a virtual machine, and install a linux OS (Rhel/Centos) in the virtual machine. I need to understand the steps to do it entirely from the CLI using scripts. I have seen a few sites that describe the basic process of creation of the VM, which appears to generate the vmdk file.

    I've seen nothing that shows what needs to happen to install the operating system in the virtual machine, in the CLI. This process should be auto/programming, so I can't use the GUI.

    I imagine that the whole process will have to call the process/kickstart file and start from that somehow, but I don't see how the elements fit. The goal is to then have a VM with the required OS/Apps that are then run / deployed by external users on their machines.

    If this process can work, then we can talk to a Council-expert/vmware on the next phase of the project.

    Answer that be detailing how to proceed, or point of item/sites on that would be great!

    Thank you

  • My hard drive crashed and the only disk operating system that I can find is my Windows 7 upgrade disk. Can I do a full install on a blank disc of this?

    My title pretty much sums up my problem.

    I need to buy a new hard drive.  All I have is the Windows 7 upgrade disk I bought for some time.  I can the Windows 7 installed on this drive, or I have to buy a copy of Vista/XP to install and upgrade?

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • How can I move my files and the operating system on a new hard disk on Inspiron 580 s.

    My hard drive failed Diagnostics recently and needs to be replaced.  I have since installed a new hard drive in Bay 2. I need to move everything from the old drive to the new drive and delete the old which is completed. So what is the best way to go about this?

    pjrl

    The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.
