• How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

  Original title: window 7

  Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• I just had a new hard drive installed (with XP), and no matter where I set the resolution, everything seems to be stretched horizontally

  I just had a new hard drive installed with XP, and no matter what I set the resolution to, everything now looks stretched horizontally.  I don't have this problem with the old hard drive containing XP

  If you did a clean installation of XP, then you must install the hardware drivers for your components. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, then download and install the latest Windows XP drivers for your model.

• How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

  Hi Zling,

  It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• Satellite L755-154: waste of space of HARD drive due to the second partition

  Hello

  I bought this laptop so far everything goes well.
  However, there seems to be 2 partitions on it, the first is the C: drive that is around 300 GB, but the 2nd partition D: which is again about 300 GB, which has only the recovery drive?

  This seems to be a waste of hard drive space, because I bought it because it had a good-sized hard drive.
  Now, my question is that I have to make a record of this partition recovery, and then re - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

  Also, the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, as well as Windows 7?
  As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.

  Thank you

  > Now, my question is what I need to do a recovery from that partition, then re disc - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

  In General, you should always create a recovery disk.
  If you have created a recovery disc then this disk will help you set the laptop back to factory settings. This means that all the HARD disk should be formatted and would once again create all partitions. This means that you will get these two partitions again.

  If you want to move the free space in partition D to C, then you will need to use a software of partitions. I use GParted its great tool

  > Also the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, and Windows 7
  Yes

  > As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.
  See above, that you create this recovery disk!

• Re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium, because I had the bad hard drive.

  Well, I didn't not on jelly bean or checking registry before you have the hard drive replaced. My windows product key is on bottom of laptop, but after a few wear some letters are hard to distinguish. Any ideas on what I can do to recover the key. I probably have more than 90% of the letters. There are only 3 letters I can't make out more substiuting I tried the letters that are used with the key. Please tell me that there is something.

  Hello

  In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

  Or as one poster suggested, take a photo and enlarge.

  You can contact the manufacturer of your laptop, if the operating system has been pre-installed and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

• Recover hard drive - laminated thickness - (ESXi5.1)

  Hello.

  We recently made some major new buildings on our Windows server 2008R2.  We know have an E:\ drive that does nothing, but is 500 GB.  There is nothing in the E:\ I need to keep.  The problem is the former Administrator put in place the disc with thick so I can't retrieve the space.

  My plan to recover the space allotted was:

  1. in the server VM disk management, I would like to remove the drive.

  2. on vSphere, I then pull out and remove the hard drive for this particular virtual machine.

  My assumption would be that the 500 GB would then back up to Datastore1.

  Please let know us if I missed a step or steps or please tell me if I'm totally wrong.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Here are the steps I followed to get the square of the unused space in virtual machine to the database.

  1. remove the disk volume, 2. Make the drive offline, 3. Make a right click on the VM-> change settings of-> remove hard drive also choose the option 'File Delte from data store'-> click ok

  

  The space will be reclaimed within the data store

• Dell Dimension 8400-has had to replace hard drive... today no unrecognized ethernet network card

  This has probably happened to 1 million people, but I couldn't find a thread!  I had to replace the hard drive and of course install Windows XP.  Everything went well. Everything works except my internet cable.  I called my provider.  They say that the problem is my pc not their equipment.  I believe them because I can get internet through my wireless on my Dell laptop.  I can't do it on my desktop.  When I go to the command line and type ipconfig I get nothing.  My ethernet card is simply not acknowledged.  I missed a driver when I loaded windows?  When I go to Device Manager I see 1394 network card w / no error showing.  Help!  Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have! : bravohelen:

  Hello

  You were already using successfully your HP recovery discs before this instance? The new HARD drive is connected to the same port SATA (SATA0) the original HARD drive was connected to?

  HP sold this PC in two geographic regions: the USA and the France.

  The number of product of the USA is Envy h8-1534

  The number of the French product is Envyh8-1534ef

  The USA product offers a DVD Recovery Kit four Win 64 8 build No. 13NA1RR8601. This build number should be located on the bottom of your Tower. No recovery kit is available for the number of French products.

  If you have a h8-1534 then a recovery kit is available here.

  You are under warranty? Contact HPfor replacement HARD drive if you are in warranty. I bought four HP from the PC to the HP USA Store and all have come with a two year warranty.

  Explain your problem with recovery disks, you did. HP support should be able to help. HP will support your PC with all the components in stock.

• Satellite Pro A300D - How can I recover HARD drive?

  HI Newbie here.

  Put on the machine this morning and it just says: disk error - press DELETE Cnt, was talking to the guys at PC World and they say to restart, and then press F8 I have heaps of times, but I can't access the drive recovery partition.

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 with Home Prem Vista

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello Paul

  Well, are not good news but it shouldn't be a problem to solve this problem.

  You can go into advanced with F8 boot menu? If Yes, select Repair my computer and follow the instructions on the screen. All that s. So, you can use HARD drive recovery.

  If you can t go into the advanced boot menu you should use the Toshiba recovery disc. You burn it? You need to start only with her and Windows will be reinstalled.
  If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order one at Toshiba directly:
