  Hello

  I would like to know if the CD of my Satellite X 200 recovery tools is able to restore my drive after a low-level format?

  Waiting for them, thanks a lot.

• DV7-7333 CL. : need help formatting has replaced hard drive in my laptop

  Greetings,

  I received instructions from HP another volunteer on a bad hard drive replacement. I replaced the hard drive with a new and need someoe to please guide me how to format my new drive hard back to the WIN 10 I had installed on the former. I also buy a 22 pin adapter usb to SATA.

  Another agent said that Windows 10 can be reinstalled on a new drive hard if your installation has been activated before. The activation servers Microsoft just know your computer and will be reactive. You must Access the media creation tool and have it make a bootable DVD player or you need a usb thumb drive at least 4 GB.

  I am in Germany but still do not know the language well enough and could not find a tool for creating Windows Media version in English free repacement.

  I don't know what to do to format my new hard drive... Please help!

  Thank you.

  PROBLEM SOLVED (FINALLY)! I just wanted you to know that we have finally understood why the data on the computer with the media to WIN creation tool not was not download on thumb drive = Firewall! Not sure if everyone will have this problem but in collaboration with Windows agent, I happened to see a pop-up window saying something on the analysis of data not allowing not to download. It is therefore sometimes necessary to temporarily disable all firewalls and Web titles before starting the download.

  Follow the instructions of man Las Vegas thread above to create a bootable USB Thumb Drive to replace newly hard drive with OS Windows 10. HOWEVER, the following was not mentioned in his instructions, and not all computers can do this extra step so keep the following in mind if your USB key does not complete the upload.

  Again, to download data, I downloaded on the work computer, a USB key, I had to we need to temporarily disable all the security features on the work computer until you have completed the download of the WIN Media Creation Tool on the thumb drive process (this includes your private web anti-virus, we can use AND/OR the WIN Firewall and other security features available on the led computer. )

  I hope this helps those who have similar problems.

  Thanks again for all your help man Las Vegas thread!

  Kind regards

• Windows Vista reinstall after a full format of the HARD drive!

  My younger brother accidentally formatted the entire hard drive he played in dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows. I have a Dell Optiplex 755 genuine Windows Vista Business Edition, I want to just reinstall Windows Vista, I got this computer from my cousin, I don't have any Installation disc, how I want to download Windows Vista?

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to send a set of recovery disks Vista reinstall Vista.

  They do it for a small fee.

  Also, look and see if you still have a recovery partition to reinstall Vista from.

  Read this:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Read also:

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  See you soon.

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

  My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

  Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

  No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

  You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.
