  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    My daughter has a computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.  His hard drive went bad and I will install another.  I would like to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium, but can not find the disc.  I don't have the license code information, but I can't find where I can download the program.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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 $

    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

  • I can't import pictures into LR 5 of the hard drive on Macbook pro Maverick.

    It's weird.

    Suggest you to reset the preferences of Lightroom.

    Before that, go to Lightroom > catalog settings > General and make a note of the location, so that you know where your main catalog is stored.

    Then, follow these instructions:

    1. exit the Lightroom program

    2. open Finder

    3. click on menu go (top) and type ~/library and click Go.

    4. open the Preferences folder

    5. rename the file com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist in com.adobe.Lightroom5 - old.plist

    Then open Lightroom again and try to import again.

  • Tecra S11 - How to reinstall Windows 7 after upgrading the HARD drive?

    How to reinstall Windows 7 pro after an upgrade to 500 GB HARD drive? How to access password protected data after relocation? How can I get a professional installation of Windows 7 DVD?

    (I do not installed new HARD drive yet, but I intend)

    Hey Buddy,

    You have created the Toshiba Recovery disk? Perfect!
    After Exchange of HARD drive, you need this you to install Windows 7 disc. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings, which means that you will have the factory settings on the new HARD drive after the use of the disc. You must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

    > How to access password protected data after relocation?
    It would be interesting to know what data you mean exactly.
    Before you reinstall Windows, you must back up all data on a disk for example external HARD.

  • How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

    Hello

    I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
    Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
    Very important to get these files.
    Thank you!

    First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:
    "Best Practices for encrypting file system"

    Special attention to the subsection down titled "why you should back up your certificates.

  • How can I copy vista on a new hard drive

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the disc. Until I do so I want to install a new hard drive of 1 TB. How to copy Vista from the old drive to the new drive?

    You will need to reinstall Vista on the new drive (new installation) and then turn it on and then level to Windows7 and activate that.  First back up your data - it's about all you'll be able to save.  You will need to reinstall all your programs and reset all settings - they can be copied on to the new drive.  It works just like that.  An option that allows you to transfer data a little more than a simple (but not yet the programs) is to use EasyTransfer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635. The review process and see if you can make it work in your situation.

    Sorry, that is not a solution more simple that preserves everything on the original drive, but even if you did an image backup of complete and restored to the new drive, the device driver for the hard disk would be a mistake, and it is not possible to change it with the limited access, you will need to the system without being able to boot from the hard drive.  If you can find a way to install the hard disk driver after restoring using only disk access (which may be possible depending on what has been provided by the manufacturer of the hard disk - it would need to be a startup disk that can install device drivers, even if the hard drive is not available) This becomes a viable option - but I do not know how or if any manufacturer offers such a disc.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
