How to restore the operating system after installing the new hard drive?

After installing a new hard drive to replace a disc that fails, can you install windows 7 and the other necessary "tricks" to re-setup and driver discs Dell came with the computer? or you buy a new copy of windows 7?

See the Dell system software installation

I can find the most recent versions are:

It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

  • After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

    Help?

    I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

    The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

    If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

  • drives no raid after installing a new hard drive, deleted a raid volume.

    I recently installed a new hard drive on a dimension 9200. One of the two hard drives in the pc has been a failure. After installing a new drive, I had a working old drive and a new drive, I installed vista on the new drive and found I couldn't see the old drive in the computer, also the raid volume was always the same that before removing one of the old disks. After you delete the raid volume, I have now two non-raid drives. My pc would be better if I change those two to a Raid volume as were the two previous albums, and if yes, how can I do.

  • How to recover HP Recovery Manager after replacing a new hard drive

    Recently I have lots of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info and I ran a boot hp test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so I looked online and it says that this means that my hard drive has failed.

    IM planning to buy a new hard drive. I don't have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so I tried to copy the recovery partition hp from the old drive to the new. I don't know how do it, I wonder if anyone knows. I have no recovery disks and I don't think I can order a so I want to restore my new hard drive without the use of drives and using the my old hard drives at hp Recovery Manager

    I bought the computer to the United States, but I moved to China so im assuming I want to buy a new HARD drive that is not Hp? I don't know if it will work yet cause I hear it must come from a drive HARD hp to work

    Hello

    You can choose the relevant HARD drive of any manufacturer you want, but if you want to re-create the recovery Partition, you need to do a "Factory Reset" with a set of recovery discs - if you don't have these, you will need to order them from HP.

    However, there may well be a workaroud allowing you to reinstall the operating system without having to buy these discs.

    Can you post back with what follows.

    1. the complete model number and the laptop Nr - see here for a guide to the location of such information.

    2 version full of operating system provided with your laptop (that is, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).

    3. can you still read the activation key product of 25 characters on your COA label (don't post back with it, just to confirm if it is still readable) - an example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Kind regards

    Install an operating system on the new drive.

    All WinXP installation CD legitimate are bootable and access the capability of deleting, creating and formatting partitions.

    Simply boot from the Windows XP installation CD.  You will be offered the possibility to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the installation process. (You may need to rearrange the order of the boot devices in the PC BIOS to boot from the CD.)

  • Pavilion DM4-1265dx does not start after the restoration, the new hard drive

    Hello:

    I have a laptop of clients that a hard drive has been giving an iminent failure message.  I was able to create a disc of recovery and replaced the original HD (640 GB) with a 500 GB HD.  I can't do the factory recovery because the hard drive is smaller, but it allows me to perform a recovery of the operating system.  The question that I am running is after he read the DVD 6, the system wants to re-start and then it crashes just in the HP splash screen.  If I turn it works, I get could not find a boot device.

    How can I get around that, before the establishment with a win 7 CD?  Is this process of recovery to a waste of time, as I did on the previous model HP computers and it has always worked.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Mike

    Hi cloud:

    To be more precise, of memory, there are two options, reset and factory restore.  Factory restore won't do it because the disk is slightly smaller.  Factory reset will allow me to put the recovery disk hard, but when he re - start, it crashes just in the hp splash screen.  When I do the three fingers of salvation, then I get cannot find the boot device.  I made the internal test and everything passes with flying colors.

    I finished download an iso image and install from scratch, but I can tell you that it is the system more screwed up that I never ran into 30 years of working with these toys.  I tired to do a repair, but that creates just again the same symptom.

    I have an Acer Tablet that I've been able to use the computers acer recovery disk that was not intended (but had the same version of the operating system) and at least was able to get the operating system and software and finished to the top with the right drivers, size of the hard drive has been ignored in their case.

    Thanks for help you, it is appreciated, but I doubt I can recommend HP to one of my clients in the future based on what I've run here.  This is inconsistent with a solution of recovery as far as I'm concerned, that MS requires manufacturers.  Lets get real, hardware fails for various reasons, and you may not necessarily the same size hard drives with the rate of change occurring in the industry.  Personally, I prefer a game of installation for the operating system and drivers disks.  Dell is one of the only ones I know who did this, and as much as their material is so so, they do at least that right of the party.

    Once again thank you.

  • How to restore the Mac hard drive folders on 'Open', 'save' and ' Save as '?

    I very recently installed in Yosemite. Shortly after, I went to save an image in a folder "Images", but was surprised to find that not only the folder 'Images' have not shown, but no record showed. Only my Mac hard drive and, in the devices section, three external hard drives attached through it. The only way to make pictures has been to start with the hard drive and browse it. A process of waste of time. So far, all other programs I saved or open documents of Interior still show all photos. This problem seems to be isolated to Photoshop. I checked that all through Photoshop preferences but can find no way to restore it as it was. Help will be appreciated.

    You can try to reset the 2015 cc photoshop preferences by going to your user library

    (To view your user library, click on your desktop, click the Go menu and hold down the Option key.

    Then you should see the words of library, which is your user library.

    ~/Library/preferences)

    and by dragging the folder settings Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 in the trash

    Also let slide paths in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and com.adobe.Photoshop.plist in the trash as well and see if screw up these elements makes a difference.

  • How to create bookmarks on Mac OS 10.8.2 after installing a new hard drive?

    At this point, I have no bookmarks or folders in Safari or Foxfire. I started with Foxfire and could find no way to create folders for the bookmarks. I tried the "show all bookmarks" in the menu "Favorites" and then hold down the 'Ctrl' key while touching the Menu "Favorites" and have nothing related to the creation of a folder.

    Should I start with Safari and then import them to Foxfire? There must be a better and more direct way to reach my goal.

    You can create in the folder of bookmarks in the library (Bookmark Manager) via the menu contextual (right pane) or the button hold the toolbar in the library.

    • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks

    You can create new folders and new bookmarks in the main three folders ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks") or their subfolders, but you cannot create a new folder at the root ("all bookmarks").

  • Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

    First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

    After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

    I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

    Now, my question is this...

    I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

    Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

    Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

    OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
    -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
    -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
    -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
    -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
    S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
    -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
    -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
    -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
    -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
    -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
    N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

    This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

  • Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

    Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

    Any advice would be very welcome
    Thank you
    NJ

    I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

    I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

    Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

    If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

    Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

    I hope that you have succeeded.
