  • How install/recover Windows 8 to drive on Alienware 14 mSATA?

    Hello

    I just got 14 Alienware. I ordered it with BD - ROM and 750 GB drive. I installed 256Go mSATA disk in it.
    I did the factory recovery disks and USB flash drive.

    I used the recovery USB flash drive to restore my 14 laptop, but it won't let me choose the drive. It always ends with Windows 8 on the 750 GB drive instead of mSATA.

    How can I have BONES on mSATA?

    I got this.

    1 download free Acronis Western Digital edition (looking upward, it's free with the WD external drives but unlike the Seagate edition it does not check for a reader to be present).

    2 back together, all the partitions, 750 GB drive on an external drive with enough free space (for me, it was around 16 GB since the laptop was the way it came from Dell and I did not install anything but Windows 8 updated)

    3. install the drive mSATA

    4. change the SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS

    5. restore your back until the mSATA drive in Windows. Acronis will be resize partitions automatically so ranging from 750 GB, 256 GB is ok.

    6. change startup in the BIOS for mSATA drive

    7. clear the 750 GB drive and delete all partitions on having a full 750Go farewell to this topic. I did it under Linux since Windows8 will let me delete diag and Dell recovery partition.

    8 format the partition of 750 GB.

    Fact and it works.

  • 405 proDesk G2: how to activate Windows after replacement of the motherboard

    I upgraded my G2 405 ProDesk to Windows Pro 10 of the original OEM Windows 7Pro earlier in the year.

    Last week, is not the motherboard.  The PC is still under warranty, so HP arranged for a replacement on place of the motherboard.  It worked well, except that windows is activated is no longer.  I called Microsoft with the installation ID in order to get a re-activity windows confirmation ID.  Microsoft said that I need the original license key.  I don't have that because it's an installation OEM from HP with, arguably, the key in the BIOS that has been replaced.

    So what I do now?  HP will issue me with a license key given that the PC is still under warranty?

    Just to clarify, the license was Windows 8.1 Pro downgraded to Windows 7 Pro, so there was a key Windows 8.1 on the original BIOS but the PC came with Windows 7.

    Your post got me thinking, however. I ran the FirmwareTablesView.exe application on the new motherboard and found a license key in the BIOS.  Then, I went to change the product in Settings\Update & security key and enter the key of the new BIOS.  Activation was then successful.

  • How to make Windows XP STOP drive default sharing?

    I have Windows XP Professional SP2. I connect to the internet using a local area network. I have NOT set up anything.

    My problem is: whenever I start my computer, share all my readers and the folder c: Windows at Windows startup.

    I fear that the network admin could pick up what I have on my computer.

    I tried the "Stop sharing" menu option in the management of the computer, but when I run my computer next time, all readers (and the Windows folder) are shared again. I have to repeat the action whenever I start my computer.

    How can I disable it?

    -------------------------

    PS. Sorry for my English.

    Thanks for the help, but I found the solution by myself.

    The problem was caused by the Server Service. I don't know who the turned on, but after I turned off and prevented from starting automatically, all my actions have disappeared.

    Thanks again.

  • HARD drive failure, I would like to know how to get Windows 7 return on it.

    Hello everyone, I had a HARD drive problem lately, but before moving on to describe my problem, here are the specifications of my laptop:

    HP Pavilion dv6 - 3264-ca

    AMD Dual-Core 2.2 Ghz processor

    6 GB OF RAM

    128 MB ATI graphics card

    750 GB Toshiba HDD

    Windows 7 64 bit

    The question:

    Recently, I had a HARD drive failure very unhappy. The recovery partition is not even load. I tried to boot my laptop with Linux with the HARD drive always attached, and it would not read. I pulled the HARD drive and placed in a box drive HARD and he would not yet be supported on Windows XP or Vista or 7. However, it would read in Windows Device Manager as well as in the BIOS.

    I need to extract some data priority there so I managed to recover all my data safe with a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help him to be usable again, and if that were to happen, would then disappear the recovery partition in the process.

    In addition, I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit on the disk, but the box your laptop came with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is he that sort of HP can let me download Windows 7 through any warranty service?

    I have a one year warranty on my laptop.

    In closing, I would like to know if I can get back Windows 7 on my HARD drive for free, or if I have to go to buy new Windows 7.

    All the tips of your kind people?

    Hello

    Here are two options.

    1. if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit it is the version of exact details you need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key is located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM Windows installations.

    Additional drivers, you may need can be found here.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2 you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - these costs about $30 if you live in the United States.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    I use windows vista 64 bit on HP Pavilion dv9925nr. HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T40L ATA Devicedisappeared 'my computer' and 'Device Manager' list a few days ago. There is no upper and lower filter. Device is that in the "boot order" Start menu device sometimes comes for everything and disappears again. ROM has the power. Opening of the shutter. Device works beacause I copied a cd when it was clear. I think that this problem is related to the software. When the device appeared I also uninstalled from Device Manager and looked for a device change so she is back, but after some time again say aapeared. I want to try once by complete control of formatting and install the new copy of windows 7 and let see if the appliance becomes stable. I can't install with cd rom then how to install using a drive hard usb (WD 200 GB).

  • How to get windows 7 ISO for computer laptop w/win 7 preinstalled, upgrade to win 10 in July, recently replace HD / reinstalled win 10

    Dell Inspiron N5010, windows 7-64 bit preinstalled when you purchase. one of the first free updates for windows 10 in July. recently replaced (fatal) of hard drive and reinstalled windows 10. I'm trying to get an ISO of windows 7.  This has proved to be quite difficult. my attempt to replace my hard drive using the old product key failed because the site does not accept the keys to the pre-installed versions.  If I understand it well in an article I read it says that when I upgraded to win 7 to win 10 product key remained the same. However, when my hard drive has been replaced and windows re-installed 10 this product key has been replaced with a digital license.  I have 3, possibly 4 questions: 1) has my product key now a digital license? 2.) If Yes, this digital license can be used for windows 7 ISO? If Yes, where can I find the digital license? (4.) If none of the above, any suggestions how I can get a copy of windows 7 Iso? I am very frustrated and ideas.

    Thanks VeeW

    When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or get a new PC preinstalled with Windows 10, what has happened is that the hardware (your PC) will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

    Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

    Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

    If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on "I don't have a key" and "do it later".

    Even when you switch to Windows 10, you can return to Windows 7 at any time. Get Windows 7 reinstall media will be dependent on certain factors.

    1: you may contact Dell to recovery media:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DellCare/en/backupcd_form?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

    1-800-624-9896

    2: Download and create a bootable, then reinstall using the product key on the COA certificate:
