HP pavilion p6604f Windows 7 Home Premium and the disk recovery.
Hi, my first time here. First of all, I'm in my late 70s and not very computer. My computer crashed during an update. So in the end I bit the big one and inserted my recovery disc I made 2 years earlier, when I bought the machine. Problem is the recovery disk is corrupted badly and contains a lot of bad things in my previous Pavilion.
What I want to know: is it possible to get a recovery clean disk/s for this HP computer?
Any help much appreciated. THX eyejayem
Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6604f. HP recovery discs can be ordered directly from HP or third-party ComputerSurgeons.com.

I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.
I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security. I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore. I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music. But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?
So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...
1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)
2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)
3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud
Hello
Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.
However, try these options:
Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.
Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

why they do not work on windows prfessional
It would also be interesting to know if the two laptops have the exact same system and graphic specifications.

I have the same 64-bit operating system. The 64 bit OS will act as an upgrade (go to a 32 on a 64 bit OS), or it will delete and format the drive?
Bill
To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you must do a clean install. This means that you will have to reinstall applications.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my product key!
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my case with the product key to this topic! I really need help! Can someone help me?
If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com
If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.
If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.
If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.

I want to install Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?
You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.
If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade [starter to home premium]
original title: Windows UpdateI am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade
No, it will not work.
Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?
If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.
Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

After about 3 weeks working with Dell Inspiron 14 R and print with HP laserjet 1020, without problem, now I have a problem: when I try to "find the printer (in MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel for example) I get the message: Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable.
I am running Windows 7 Home premium; and I'm the user.
I try to remove and reinstall hp laser jet 1020 once again, but the problem still exist.
After I opened the menu devices and printers, and then click the Hp Laser Jet 1020, the category of this printer icon: 'unknown '.
How can I make the available ADDS?
Try this weird cure:
Just open Notepad, go get a printer and add the printer from here.
I can now print all programs.
He worked for others; like I said, weird!
