• Pavilion p6230y: how to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I had a hard drive failure. The drive is about 7 years so I understand he lived a life busy for a long time, and I plan replace it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the recovery discs and I don't have a windows CD, because it is installed on the disk hard when I bought the computer. If I had to buy a new HARD drive, how would I reinstall Windows on it without re-purchase a copy? I was told there would be a product key on the chasis somewhere but I couldn't find the model and serial number for the bureau, nothing to do with Windows. I also searched HP website to see if I could order recovery disks, but this option is not visible anywhere. Help, please!

  Thank you, Alex.

  Alex, welcome to the forum.

  Unfortunately, because you did not the system recovery media when you bought the computer, you will need to buy a full copy of Windows 7.

  Here's a guide to help you try to order the HP discs.  However, I believe that it is very unlikely that they are always available from your computer is more than 7 years old.

• How to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive in a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC

  Original title: ok, so I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC right... and my hard drive crashed just completely, I had a new hard drive and now I want again to install windows Vista on it, but I don't have a restore cd but I have a back on my old operating system... What can I do? Help?

  is there anyway that I can restore my operating system...?

  Hello

  What do you mean by: "I have a return upwards on my old operating system?"

  You make an image and with what program?

  If this is not a picture read more.

  Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  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 reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

  Please see the following link for more information.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact Acer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Satellite Pro L300 - how Windows easy transfer on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I recently got a broken hard drive of a laptop larger than mine.

  I would like to put in my computer, but I don't know what would be the way to transfer the partition of installation (or better yet also already installed windows partition).

  Will I be able to reinstall linux in a few minutes, but for windows it's something else.
  Do you have an idea of the procedure?

  The best would be to make a mirror copy, or something like that for me, to have just to extend the size of some partitions.

  Thank you.
  Stone

  Hello

  I recommend the creation of an image.
  You can create either an image that contains only the content of a partition or the whole HARD disk content.

  There are different image on the market tools. For the most part, you will pay for this software.
  But you can also use an internal utility for Microsoft Windows 7. Its share of the Win 7 system.

  If you are using Windows 7, I recommend this solution.

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft on this tool and how to do it:

• Portege S100 - how to install XP on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a fatal error when I want to install Windows XP on a new 250 GB SATA HARD drive (more than the original 60 GB). I have RAID drivers but no "game"?

  Help a poor french user.
  Thank you

  Hello

  What RAID drivers did you use?

  Normally, you will need to download the RAID driver on Toshiba page and copy the files extracted to an external floppy drive. You can use an external floppy with USB drive. You can load the drivers if you press F6 once you have booted from Microsoft XP disc.

  By the way: have you checked BIOS if the HARD drive is recognized?

• Our hard drive is dead, please reinstall photoshop on the new hard drive

  How do I reinstall Photo Shop because the serial number will be against our old drive hard (even if we still have the same pc?

  Hi Terence, just try to install again.  You get up to two activations/machines with the license, so you should be OK.

  If you receive a message saying activations exceeded, then you will need to contact Adobe directly for your license to reset.  Live chat is usually more faster/easier, if necessary.

• Removed the HARD disk with MBR/BCD who installed Vista x 64 Business on the new HARD drive

  I have vista x 64 business installed on a HARD drive, but it was (and still is) installed on an older HDD aswell and the smallest, the result being that when I removed the old hard drive to put in another computer, I was unable to boot the copy of vista on the new HARD disk as the MBR or the BCD bit that allows me to choose what vista start is on the old HDD. Using the installation DVD I can get up the command prompt and run Bootrec.exe without the old HARD disk installed, which can find the vista installation, but fails to solve the problem. I'm not an expert so I can't properly use Bootrec.exe, and startup recovery also does not work, although it seems to say that something to do with the startup has been fixed. Is it possible that I can get the computer running without the old HDD without having to reinstall vista on the new hard drive? Currently, I put the old HARD return drive to start the new installation of vista.

  When you move an old hard drive to a new computer, the installed operating system will find new hardware (motherboard, etc.).

  A clean install is a normal requirement, as no drivers are installed for the new hardware on the operating system.
  Thus, it will not start.

  How to do a clean install:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

  Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

  Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

  You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

  And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen
