Hello Eduardo Montoya when you traded player having Windows installed on it? If so you will not be able to activate the operating system is an OEM manufacturer and will only work with the original system. If it is a retail facility, you will need to use the phone activation steps listed in the link below. Let me know if it helps. Thank you.

My hard drive has left an old system to a new system and now I can not activate Windows.
Cannot download the drivers to activate Windows
I spent two days now trying to get a computer at work, I've built. I use new parts other than my used hard drive previously. I was not able to install the drivers for my network so I'm stuck right with the activation screen when I connect. If I do not activate and then I get kicked out and have to log in again. I cannot connect to the network to turn on obviouly and when I call them they say my ID intillation in does not correct and they don't recognize it as a valid product. I then remove my hard drive and put it back in the old machine and as if by magic, it works fine after activation. How am I supposed to install my drivers so I can activate if I can't go to my screen to install? This is the second time that this happens, and I really not prefer to buy a new windows disk for something that already works.activation by telephone (call of the operator)

So I decided that I need a bigger hard drive. I got a 500 GB hard drive, so I have it PLOPPED in my Acer Aspire 5517 with my vista boot drive, turned on and began to go through the process. Once he got to the phase 'installation complete' it seems to take a while, so I let it run all night. Once I got up, it was on a black screen with the mouse, I let stand a few more minutes but still nothing. I turned off and started it expects to find to return at the beginning of the installation, but instead he began to start from what is on the hard drive at this time. It got to the screen with the loading bar and the sign 'Microsoft Corporation'. The loading bar was very frigidity and stopped and started randomly. I let it do this while I went to school, but when I got home, it was always the same loading screen. I rebooted and tried to start in safe mode, but when I do it it stops at crcdisk.sys, and never forwarded charges. I tried to do the reset thing factory start it but that doesn't seem to work. My other puny hard drive still works, but the other does not. I searched the internet but have not seen any other problem like it. I want to just start completely clean of my new 500 GB. Please help!
Hi James,
1. What is the number of brand and model of the hard disk of 500 GB?
2. How did the 500 GB hard drive connected to the computer? It is external or internal?
To troubleshoot the unable to start the issue to cause corrupted driver, some files that can not be loaded during the startup process must be fixed or restored. So, let's check the disk by using the Windows Recovery Console.
(a) put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
(b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ".
(c) select a language, a time, a currency and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
(d) click on repair your computer.
(e) (click on the operating system you want to repair), and then click Next.
(f) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt. Type chkdsk c:/f to try to correct the errors.
(g) Note: answer them when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the disk next boot Vista
(h) after the recording of the disc, and then run sfc/scannow to check the corruption of system files.
Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.
Check out TechNet help links and check if that helps:

1. open Windows Contacts
2. right-click anywhere in the right pane.
3. Select "Properties" at the bottom of the list
4. click on the tab 'Customize' on the 'Properties' page that opens.
5. change the 'Type', 'Contacts' folderNew Contact"and"Contact Group on new"button missing

My last support Xbox Live call reference number is 1160762648My account has unauthorized access and fraudulent charges have been made. The situation has been studied, and my money was refunded to me. The number of service request for the investigation of fraud was 1160762648. My account has been blocked in the investigation and is still blocked even if the investigation is completed and I was sent my email account recovery. Despite the reset my password several times and multiple recovery emails, I couldn't again access to my account, because he always goes to a window saying: "your account has been temporarily blocked."Please unblock my account windowsliveHello

I inserted the memory card from my digital camera in the slot on my HP laptop. I went into my computer and 'file' tab and press "copy". He asked a folder name called 'Photos '. I then went in the 'photos' file and it says it's empty. I then inserted the memory card in my camera and were not the picture about it. I am so upset... There are 665 photos that can never be replaced. What should I do?
Hello
The operating system that you are running on your computer?
You may have set the option "Erase after importing" when importing the photos. At the end of the import process, then pictures should appear in the Windows Photo Viewer.
Open the Windows Photo Viewer and check if you can see these photos.
