• I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  I'm on a mac. I have 2 different versions of mac operating systems running on 2 different hard disks, because of needs of customers with software compatibility. If I update a cc adobe programs in a single operating system hard drive system, it will affect older versions of programs cc in the other system of operating system hard drive?

  If, as you say, they are completely separate installations on separate hard disks, each with there own version of PS for example, there should be no way that they could interfere with each other! I assume you are using a form any of Boot Manager to load a specific version of Mac OS x?

  I did something similar at the start in a similar situation with client compatibility and not had a problem with either interfere with others!

  However, you share the programs somehow between different OS, so that would be another matter.

• Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
  The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
  I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

  And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

  Hello Bambi

  Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
  As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

  You can start your computer in Mode safe?

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

  Thank you in advance.

• the new hard disk OS installation - help! 1

  has confirmed that my old hard drive on my laptod hp is broken.

  new hard drive came - still in packaging.

  What should I do next, after the installation of the hard disk that is the easy bit - thankfully I did of the disks when I first bought the old laptop and the windows license number is still visible under the cover of laptop.

  I read something about BIOS, but it sounds scary.

  go for a drink and the Dutch courage and hope a few simple tips please!

  concerning

  Ian

  If you have the recovery disks, they should include your operating system (Vista) and all the drivers and programs provided with your computer. He must restore it to the way it was when you bought it originally.
  
  You need to update right after installation (of course).
  
  Good luck!

• HP G71-329WM: driver Sata necessary for the installation CD of Windows to see the new hard drive

  I have my own Windows 7 disk that can be used to install a lean and clean the operating system, however, it seems that the hard drive is not recognized without a sata driver any. I had to do this once with an HP laptop so that the Windows Setup CD see the hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not see such a driver downloads available for this laptop model. Can make you a suggestion on where I can find this driver?

  Hello:

  With the material of your laptop, you should not need the driver but here is the link for those that you need...

  The first file is for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18668&lang=eng

  To install the driver, download and uncompress the files that you need a USB FlashDrive without all records.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope, will install W7.

• Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

  I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

  I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
  It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

  In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

  Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

  See you soon.

  A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

  A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

  I hope this helps.

  You don't tell us what operating system is installed, or which operating system you want to clean install or upgrade to.

  There are ways of upgrading the OS to OS, depending on the particular operating systems and different editions of them.

• Qosmio F30-114 - a problem with the installation of operating system

  Hi all
  I have a problem during the installation of operating system from the recovery disk (Win XP Media Center Edition).
  After loading the disc, I seen the installer welcome window, set up all the parameters in it and pressed the OK button.
  After that, an error has occurred (in a black console window):

  Check the type of partition MBR
  Not FOUND: Partition ID 4 is 0x00 not 0 x 88
  Seeking the TMBR
  No found TMBR!
  Fact.

  Microsoft DiskPart version 5.2.3790.1830
  Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Microsoft Corporation.
  On computer: MININT-JVC

  Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

  Services of disk management cannot complete the operation.
  Specified drive does not exist.
  ERROR: E:\04629R01 Reco-unpacking. TPA has failed!
  Press a key to continue...

  After reading this message and pressing a computer key restarts and that's all that happens.
  Also I can not install another OS (Win 7 for example), during the last part of an installation, I get a message "the work cannot be completed.".

  That's happened? I don't understand what is the reason for this problem. I was reinstall another OS (the drive recovery too) often earlier and everything was OK.

  You can install WXP using the Microsoft installation disc?
  Set the BIOS on the settings by default and to use the recovery disk again.
