Help to reinstallation of operating system!

Hi, have a HP laptop and reinstall a hard drive. Do everything with it, now I need to install an operating system. I had windows XP before the computer crashed and don't have a recovery disc, to help or suggestions is appreciated. Thank you, Lisa

As you don't have a recovery disk, you will need to get either a HP or a version of Windows XP OEM recovery disk and use the product ID at the bottom of your laptop (which, in my experience, becomes unreadable after a lot of used real turn).

But, given that the keys are locked to certain media, should be an OEM of Windows XP (Home, Pro, based on your license) version. If you were to use a detail or the multimedia upgrade, it would not work with your key, even if it's a legitimate key.

    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

    Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Please see title above.  This computer is really crazy.   Unable to open my Outlook.  Said dialog boxes open and must be closed before I open Outlook, but I can not find something open.  I even tried restarting the comptr.  PLEASE HELP ASAP!  Thank you.

    This dialog box means there is an open window (somewhere maybe under your enlarged window) which must be closed before you can reopen outlook.

    If there is no visible window I open the Task Manager and check there.  If there is not, you may lose any changes and restart to clear the error.

    Pls suggest me the best pilot bones and it's... I bought a new computer laptop n don't know what please help me

    The operating system that would be easier to install would be Windows 8.1. You will need to purchase a license from Microsoft or a seller.

    All the required drivers for Windows 8.1 are at the following ADDRESS.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7584381#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • What should I do? An operating system not found.

    So, I worked on a toshiba laptop which had said that it needed an operating system so I made a boot disk for windows 8

    Although he said that he could not install on partitions IE. they have the wrong format for windows 8 to install

    So I went to a tutorial on youtube in which I wiped the hard drive and did a new partition for windows but now it gives me a screen with

    An operating system not found. Try disconnecting all drives that are not

    contain an operating system

    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

    I have the windows startup disk in Player 8 when I restart, but what I was wondering was that lets say that I replaced the hard drive of the computer that will fix it or should I use cmd to copy files from windows from a USB to the computer?

    Thanks to the one who can help,

    Really.

    Hey really,

    Welcome and thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community, the best place for all your windows related queries.

    We appreciate you to try the troubleshooting steps to resolve your issue.

    Since you have wiped the hard drive and make a new partition, the operating system would have completely erased. Therefore, you will need to re - install the operating system using the disk.

    As you have already done the Windows restore then, I suggest you perform theast known good configuration. Please see the link below to do so:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/using-last-known-good-configuration#1TC=Windows-7

    Last known good configuration is a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly.

    Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to contact us for additional help with the Windows operating system. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    According to the page of the product HP for your PC, it came not with preinstalled Win10.  THIS means that you have done the upgrade to Win10.

    While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

    The problem you mentioned is usually due to one of two basic problems:
    (1) defective hard drive
    (2) damaged/missing bootloader files

    As to the first, please follow the instructions in this link to test your hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

    If that confirms that your drive has failed, then you will need to replace it.  Please report back if this is the case.

    As for the second, you need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    Once you have that, please download and create the Win10 installation media from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10

    Note that when you download and build install media, the default tool corresponding to what is already installed on your PC (as in home for the House, and 64-bit to 64 - bit).  While you CAN change these settings, are NOT. If you do, the media that results will be different and will force you to enter a NEW product code.

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanced-startup-options-boot-windows-10-a.html

    You will need to go to the Advanced Options screen and click on startup repair.  You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    Good luck

    Hello UCS

    The fact is: If the unit is pre-installed with original recovery media, the installation is absolutely clean and all hardware components are installed with the correct driver.

    What is the State of the drive in Device Manager? The drive is recognized in Windows Explorer? Please check the functionality with the original DVD movies? If there is no success, I guess the drive is faulty, and it is unclear to me that you can remedy this by using a firmware or something like that.

    In my opinion this isn't a problem with the operating system. It may be just a malfunction of the DVD drive.
