  • Windows 8 is installed by download. My motherboard has failed, but the hard drive is ok. How can I get it back?

    Windows 8 was downloaded beforehand as a test pplace for Windows XP and then paid for.  From there, I managed to create a Setup disk.  Now, five months later, my motherboard failed taking with it my CPU and RAM, but leaving intact system disk.

    Microsoft phone support, told me that the disk image is crucial and so that I can transfer it to another computer and use windows from this disk again.  Is it that simple?

    I have always understood, certainly with XP that activation has been defined by the hardware, especially the motherboard and processor.

  • I lost my key synchronization when my hard drive was erased, so, how can I get a new key for synchronization without deleting my data backed up?

    I have synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could the reupload if ever my computer wiped, so I don't have a second device with the touch of synchronization on this subject. I made the mistake of recording only the sync on the computer key. I just got my computer back to the shop and they erased my operating system without asking. Now, I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my account synchronization requires that I have change the timing key and delete all data saved on the server. How can I access my data?

    Sorry, without your key to synchronize your data worth anything, it is impossible to - encrypted, and create a new synchronization key he will wipe away from the sync server.

    BTW, the Firefox sync service is not intended for "backups", it is supposed to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices." Any chance you have more than one device with this sync account configuration? If so, you can use the sync this device key.

  • How can I get a clean copy of windows vista Home premium. I've never had a disc, but I have a registration number?

    My computer would not start. I never received a boot disk. I used my friends boot drive and now windows think my computer is a Dell. The registration key for my computer does not work. How do you get a clean copy, I am owner of Vista already?

    Hello

    as you have discovered the recovery discs are brand and the specific model

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista:

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How to add 2nd hard drive; first is full

    5.7 LR used on an iMac with a catalog and images at this point on a single external hard drive.

    Now that the drive is close to full so a second drive ready to go.

    I need advice on how to proceed. I think my options would be:

    1. continue with the same catalog but speaking to 2 hard drives (possible or not?) The rest catalog where it is on Drive 1 or move it to the new Drive 2?

    2. create the catalog on the new hard drive where the new and future pictures are stored. In this case, when I want to see/manipulate the older images, I have to open the older catalog, I guess, and there is no way to have all the images of these two albums "visible" or accessible at the same time.

    I hope that I've explained this well enough. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

    Well your post on the space available on disk 1 is revealing. You have simply not enough space on disk 1 to copy whatever it is him. This includes new writing entries in the LR catalog file. you need to move things off disc 1. Do not move images unless you do only from Lightroom.

    But there are probably tons of things on disc 1 that can easily and safely, move to the new drive or even removed completely.

    Never fill a disc. Always allow free to at least 10-20%.

  • Hard drive Pro 2100 SAT - how to locate?

    Hello

    After trying all the suggestions kindly, I now need to remove and replace the HARD drive. Unfortunately, after reading the documentation, I can't see how to remove the HARD drive on this model. I have temporarily deleted various round tables on the underside, but nothing seems to lead me on the HARD drive.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as would confirmation that virtually any standard 2.5-inch HDD height 9.5 mm would replace. I'm specifically looking to a Toshiba MK4026GAX.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I'm a little hesitant here but if you look at the bottom of your machine, you should find a skin of rectangular shape with a small bulge or bump on. This must be fixed with only 1 screw. This should be the cover of the HARD drive.

    Good luck!

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.

  • H9 want - 1469ea Phoenix: CSO part of hard drive 0 indicates full - E Drive a 2.7 TB unused.

    I'm a H9-1469ea Phoenix office less than 2 years. The OSC Drive (referred to as disk 0) with 106 GB is full of programs etc and cause serious problems. The rest of the car O contains recovery (drive D), and I'm unable to increase the volume of the part of the OSC. The D drive on disk 1 has more than 2.7 TB of unused space (I keep all data on a spare drive - not the computer), but I am unable to repartition to use this space as the C for programs, etc. How can I increase the size of drive E (Datadrive) using a portion of unused space in drive E greater than 2.7 to.

    Serial number is [removed personal information]

    Hi again rgh1,

    It is good to hear from you!

    The reason why your particular computer was equipped with a smaller than the hard disk drive is for quick loading and processing of the operating system. As the disc is an SSD means that the start-up will be generally faster than a typical hard drive!

    To keep your system works effectively, without overloading the drive 0, you can use your E drive for storage of files, applications and games. For example, you can reinstall Steam on your computer hard disk of 2.7 TB. This can be done by navigating to a different destination folder on the E drive. For more information, you can also take a look at this document on install games in different places.

    I hope this helps, and if you need further assistance, I would be very happy to give him!

    Have a great rest of your day!

  • Drive C is full, how do I change the destination to D drive?

    Original title: complete C drive

    How to change the destination drive to D: for all future downloads and facilities of new programs

    Hello

    D: is normally the recovery partition on most computer brands (Acer being an exception) and is used for these purposes:

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.
