• Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

  I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

  It was rather annoying.

  I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

  However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

  Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

  Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

  Thank you for your patience.

  I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

  But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

  Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
  You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

• Help to resume the operating system pre-installed with regard

  I lost my pre-installed operating system 'Windows 8 Pro' & now I have no way to recover it. My laptop is under warranty and I bought it in January 2014 to Saudi Arabia. What should I do to recover my operating system pre-installed? HP Saudi Arabia can provide me free recovery disk, if I managed to ship I have relatives there for the reception.

  You have a choice of where to get a set of recovery disks. The cost is usually about $30,00 USD

  Order a HP recovery disk

  It is unlikely that you will be able to get a recovery disk free of charge. A choice of methods to create recovery recovery disk series or usb media has been presented to you when you set up the laptop and unfortunately you chose to not use it.

• 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. :)

• Can I use a legitimate DVD Win7 product key to activate the operating system already installed?

  I used a DVD Windows 7 Home Premium I bought from Amazon to install on 2 computers, THEN discovered the 2nd computer would not accept the product key.  I don't want to reinstall the OS and I can't seem to find a place online legitimately sell just a product key, so if I buy another DVD on Amazon, the product key that comes with it will allow the existing installation to activate, or do I have to spend a day or more to reload the operating system, drivers, programs, settings etc, just to stinking activation?

  This information is partially incorrect. OEM System Builder licenses come with a product key.

  Yes, it does not require a clean install, but because you already have Windows 7 Home Premium installed to use your retail disk, all you have to do is to change the product key, no installation required.

• I managed to successfully install a copy of 'clean' of Vista on D:\. How can I remove the operating system incorrectly installed D:\?

  Thank you Mick: This information has been useful and I'm glad I read through it to better understand how to work the partiions.  Having said that, however, I need not expand c:\ and/or remove d:\.  I just need to remove a version of Vista installed drive d:\ I placed on it in error.  At the time, I didn't know I don't follow the prompts closely enough and managed to put a second copy of Vista OS 32-bit Home Basic edition on the wrong drive.

  Since then, I have installed correctly copy 'clean' Vista on c:\ and things are now going smoothly.

  Now, I just need to understand how to properly uninstall Vista from the wrong drive d:\.

  Can anyone help with this?  Thank you very much.

• How to restore my system when I bought it? Did not the disks in the operating system when the computer was purchased.

  Original title: System Restore

  How to restore my system when I bought it? No disk when I got it.

  I can not open a new document in works 9 says file is missing? System Restore has new date

  I want to go further? is there a way? Windows Vista home Premium SP2

  Hello

  System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.

  You mean that recovery of the system.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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.

  Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but I can't do it.

  Please help me and I will be grateful

  Hello

  Of course, you can change the operating system and install another I wonder what OS you prefer?  :|

  I think that you can not install the new OS because the HARD drive is not visible. Am I wrong?
  Fact is that the G20 series supports RAID functionality. You must install the RAID driver before you continue the OS installation procedure

  The RAID driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page and should be included in the operating system using an external USB FDD drive.
