  Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to wipe my hard drive including Windows 8.

  You are right.

  You follow the manufacturer's instructions for use the recovery partition
  on your hard drive. But if you completely erased the hard disk drive, which
  partition disappeared, and you're out of luck. Contact the manufacturer.

• How to install Windows 7 WITHOUT EFI

  First of all, the question full (long) story below.

  I wish to get a complete picture of a Windows 7 operating system that I backed up on my other server. But I get the error unable to restore a system image on a computer with a different firmware "Windows. "The System Image has been created by a computer using the BIOS and this computer uses EFI.

  The image has certainly taken this machine - the firmware has not changed!

  What should I do to restore the image?

  Background story...

  I bought a new laptop HP 255, by-installed with Windows 7 without OS install disks (I won't EVER stupid enough to do it again!).

  I took a complete picture of the systems, as suggested by while I was well saved.

  However, my machine has corrupted its operating systems with a few weeks. Recovery boot CD does not work (wouldn't boot). So in desperation, and because time was short I went out and bought another copy legitimate DVD of Windows 7 with a license key (so now I have 2 copies of legitimate operating system!).

  I installed the new copy of Windows 7, but it was terrible, because many pilots had disappeared. Especially the missing drivers were not available on the site of HP support for this machine.

  So, I created a new new version of Windows recovery disk and tried to restore using that. New boot disk loads ok, I can find the old image on my network (after loading some network drivers). But I will not install the image - which gives the above error message.

  I tried to delete the EFI partition from disk (using GPARTED to reformat this partition). Who killed the Windows 7 on the machine - but always gives the same error message when I try to recreate the image on the machine.

  I tried to go into the BIOS settings... HP 255 has a "legacy Mode" - which I activated, but it makes no difference at all!

  I think the kind of solutions, I'm looking for might be:

  1. There is a great way of disabling EFI on my 255 so that it resembles a machine BIOS inherited, or

  2. This EFI is plugged into my new start-up recovery disk - and there is a way to create a recovery disk that doesn't use EFI

  It took me about 2 weeks until now, and I'm at the point just junking this machine and Ubuntu installation!

  Hi Don,

  I can certainly understand your concern and appreciate your efforts. As you mentioned you have made changes in the BIOS, you must contact the manufacturer to solve this problem (as mentioned by the previous Support Engineer).

  I have this Toshiba Portege 2000 old OS crashed a few days ago. This laptop is not an optical drive and a floppy drive.

  The first thing is mind is to purchase an external optical drive which I did, but it does not seem to boot from it. I have trouble to install Windows XP but nothing helped.
  Can you guys please help me?

  The last option I have in mind would be to install Windows XP on a network. The portege 2000 is able to boot from PXE, the thing is that I don't know how to do it! Can someone tell me how to boot from PXE?

  Thank you very much.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know if copy you the Windows XP CD to HARD disk and then you start from external floppy drive (it should work) you can start the installation.
  Copy the XP CD to your HARD drive with a drive enclosure external DRIVE on another computer, create a boot floppy XP and start from it.
  Go to the I386 folder and start the WINNT. EXE

  Or you use the CD/DVD drive from another computer with the netbootdisk. I found this with Google:

• How to install Windows Vista without an installation disk?

  I want to preinstall Vista on my laptop. I have both the laptop with Win Vista license but there is no instalation disk. Now, I want to make a clear installation but I can't find a way to get a Vista disk. I am looking for the download link, but vain windows.com, I only get Service Pak 2 link. Help, please.

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• How to install Windows XP without service pack in my new machine with a hard drive sata and sata dvd?

  Installation problem

  Hello

  Not much to go here, but I'll try my best.

  First of all, I hope that your PC has a floppy drive. If it isn't, this isn't the end of the world, but it will make things much more complicated.

  Second, you must make sure that your motherboard BIOS is set according to your desired disk configuration. AHCI or RAID is the best but RAID is only if you want to set up a RAID. If you select IDE maybe you don't need the Setup F6 disk and the driver installation mentioned below.

  You have perhaps been provided with F6 floppy by your motherboard manufacturer but, if not, download the XP driver for your SATA controller from the manufacturer's web site and create your own F6 driver diskette.

  You must start your PC from the windows CD. Very shortly after the installation starting to show prompted to press F6 to another pilot. You have to hit F6 when you see this prompt. A few minutes later you will be asked to insert the Setup disk and identify your SATA controller. You should be able to continue with the installation later.

  It is a simplified version of what needs to be done and only goes up to get the installation to begin.

  If you want more specific help you should repost with exactly what installation problem that you are experiencing.

• I can install Windows 7 without initially providing the product key?

  Peut I install Windows 7 without initially provide the product key during installation?  I'd rather go once the installation is finished, I just have to copy and paste it in the email like that.

  Hello

  Yes, you can try a free key of Windows 7 Installation. But be sure that you enter the product key to activate Windows wihtin 30 days grace period. Once the 30 days grace period end your system will go in any safe and you may need to reinstall the copy again.

  Unlike Windows Vista, if you si vous achetez buy Windows 7 DVD you get specified edition disk and installation you will not get an option to select the edition. Almost to the last step of the Installation, you will get the opportunity to enter the product key that you can jump and try to enter the product at the time of the Activation key.

  I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/

  I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.
