HP G7000 CTO: install Windows 7 on HP G7000 laptop

Hello

If I had to buy a copy of Windows 7, I would be able to reinstall the unit this copy of Windows? I.e. without losing access to the partition of recovery if I have to reformat the C partition with this copy of Windows. I did a recovery media for unity for when I had the first day using 2 DVD, one for the original OS Windows Vista Home Premium x 86 and one for the driver and the software supplied with the camera, but how can I test to make sure they will work, once another copy of Windows has been installed on the device? I have not done yet, as I don't want to lose access to the recovery partition. Why I want to do it because I want to upgrade to a Windows operating system better than the one I have currently installed.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

RocknRollTim

Hello:

Once you install W7, the recovery partition will work (except if maybe you do an upgrade inplace rather than a clean installation).

If you need to restore Windows Vista, you will need to use the recovery discs you created.

There is a recovery management program that is needed to access the recovery partition via the guest of F11.

If clean you install W7, this program is deleted, and it is not available for download.

    1. place your Windows XP installation CD and start to her...
    2. Press any button to start the Windows installation (don't worry... we do not actually use the installer at this point)
    3. wait a few moments for the installation program starts, when you see repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, and then press the R key
    4. wait until you see this screen, enter the number of your master installation. (Typically 1 to C:\Windows)
    5. press ENTER.
    6. If you are prompted to do so, enter your administrator password. If you don't have one, leave the field blank and press to enter.
    7. from the command prompt, type: chkdsk/r (note the space between chkdsk and / r)
    Allow it to complete undisturbed.
    8. remove the disc, then restart.

    original title: Hi Please help

    I am trying to install windows media Center on my laptop but carnt find any where to go. all I want to do is use with my xbox any help guys, thanks

    Hi, Matt.
    You can't 'install' Media Center - either you have it, or you don't have.
    Media Center is included in all versions of Windows 7 Home Premium on-site (except for certain markets (Europe and the Korea come to mind), where it is not included by default (but there is a pack for this.))
    If you have the Starter or Home Basic, you must make an Express upgrade to Home Premium (or higher).

    Hello John

    It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
    In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

    What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

    Hi Vytautassvitojus,

    ·         The computer have any OS installed?

    ·         Are you able to boot to the desktop?

    If you are not able to boot to the desktop and then remove the external devices except the keyboard and mouse, perform a chkdsk from the recovery console and then try to install Windows.

    To run chkdsk from the Windows Recovery console. You can check the links for a description of the Windows XP Recovery Console

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    Important:  If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

    The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

    F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

    If you can start still not install it:

    Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.

  • Re-install Windows in the same computer laptop but different mainboard

    Hello

    I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. There are several butterflies I changed it was a genuine Windows Vista Business 32-bit. Recently, I have a problem with my laptop and the manufacturer said that it needs a motherboard replacement, so now the laptop is still be fixed. My question is, can I re - install my laptop using the same Windows Vista Business 32 bit DVD I already had? If not, is there something I could do in order to install using the same DVD again?

    I asked about this on the Volume License Service Center (* address email is removed from the privacy *), but the representative (Jenny) told me to request technical assistance. The ticket/problem code isSRX1132703102ID.

    I hope I could get a response on this matter.

    Thank you

    Aswin

    Yes, you can use the same copy of the retail of the 32-bit Vista Setup disk you used - the only problem is that it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

    You can have trouble activating due to the new motherboard, so do it manually.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
