• Question about reinstalling windows on a laptop that came with it, but the hard drive failed and had to be replaced.

  OK, until recently, the hard drive of my laptop couldn't, and I had to replace, no biggie, I really care about this laptop in any case. Then I threw ubuntu top and let it go from there. But recently, I wonder, if I could get windows again for her, for free. I am sure that it is not under warranty, but I could go and check of 90 percent. I have no back ups for it because it was cheap.

  Yes, if the hard drive has been installed you can just catch a Windows ISO-8 8.1 is not available now and make an own Install.Then, if you have the sticker of the product key on the back of your laptop use the product key to activate. Devices with Windows 8 generally have incorporated in their BIOS product key and use the following tool to get the product key:

  Download the key tool produces OEM of Windows

• HP pavilion dv6-7029wm recovery kit lose after changing the hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I changed the hard drive after the old one crashed, so I need the recovery kit, but the site it says shipps only in canada or the United States

  as I left the States, how can I get them?

  where can I download the recovery image and burn it to a DVD?

  Hello

  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.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  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.

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help
  Julie

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
  Thank you

  Hello

  For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

  I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

  Good bye

• change the hard drive in the Pavilion all-in - one ms228

  My hard drive has stopped working on my Pavillion ME 228 all in an office.   I found a replacement at a reasonable price.  I bought this computer in France a couple of years ago, it came with windows 7 family in french with a keyboard french azwerty.  Now, I have to change the hard drive is possible to put on Windows 7 'Ultimate' in English (I have the disc) and English qwerty keyboard would work on this subject?

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Yes, you can install Windows 7 Ultimate English and plug an English keyboard. It uses only a keyboard USB, right? Computers have no nationality... they will take the language of the hardware and software you install on them.

  If the computer did not come with Ultimate you will need a new key Code. You can install the English version of the Windows 7 level it came with (probably Home Premium) using your own key Code.

• I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now".
