• How to get Windows 7 recovery once again without disks?

  Hi, I have a Pavilion dv6, a few months ago, I remove recovery particion so now I need to restore my windows system, I have no disc, how do I get my windows iso or the recovery image?

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  Also, if possible, back up the folder swsetup which lie at the root of the C drive.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc you using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( that must be the same version that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

  In regards to the drivers etc, you must, if you were able to save the swsetup this will contain all the software and driver for laptop installers - if you were not able, drivers and software, you can need is found by entering either the complete model number or product of your laptop no here.

  Best regards

• How to get Windows 7 for my laptop HP which crashed with a faulty drive?

  I bought my HP laptop about 4 years ago.  Until the Seagate drive has crashed, has been a good machine.  I had a company that can recover the data.  But the HP laptop did not come from a DVD for Windows7.  Then how come HP help with a new copy of Windows7?  I really don't want to buy a new DVD.

  Can anyone offer a solution?

  If you burn your recovery discs, you should always be able to order from HP for a small fee. Are you sure you didn't burn a set and put away them when you've got the laptop - many did.

  Option 1:

  Download the. ISO file on a work computer such as who you are now and:

  a: burn it to a blank DVD and install from it using your DVD player, if his work

  b: or create a USB bootable with the installation files, see the instructions below.

  Is it possible to download windows on a USB key and plug it into the other computer?

  Yes, you can.

  Also, when I have the new windows can I use Microsoft Word on the old broken hard drive? I still have the DVD and the code that came with it!

  Yes, you can.

  Once you have the .iso file, they may want to use the Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a DVD or bootable USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

• I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro after a hard disk crash. Sent product key Microsoft form with the Windows disk is invalid.

  Some time ago I bought a computer with Windows XP pre-installed.  I have not received a CD with it.  At one point, during an update Windows online, I learned that the copy of Windows was not authentic, and the place I bought it from was out of business.  I then bought Windows XP Pro Microsoft online and went through the update of product with the Windows product key update tool and ran OK from there.
  Well, my HDD recently crashed, and I started to install the Windows XP Pro purchased CD on a new hard drive.  The installation was asked to enter the 25-digit product key, I found that the unique product key sent with the CD has been a key 20 digits in this format; Product key: SKU:B7P - 00005 KEY01:xxxxx - xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-CD2.   (The x are just for the format).

  What do need me do to be able to install my real purchased copy of Windows XP Pro?

  The numbers you enter are not the product key. Contact Ms. online where you bought the CD or try some of the links below:

  While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

  Change back to normal if maximized properties do not work and follow these steps.

  Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window.

  Take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

• Please someone help on how to get windows 7 drivers for compaq nc6220

  I've recently upgraded a laptop (compaq nc6220) to windows 7 and I don't seem to find find windows 7 drivers to run it.

  I need assistance on how to get windows 7 drivers, to drive the foregoing, named mobile.

  Thank you

  Hi brephosa8701,

  Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.

• 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.

• How to get windows 7 Professional operating for existing key?

  How to get windows 7 Professional operating system software for existing key

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
