If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:
KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >
to read the key out of your old system.
Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.

Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?
So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot. I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can. I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network. The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash. I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart. I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.
The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition. I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP. My questons are-
1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?
2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?
Thank you.
Hi Mike,.
Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?
It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.
A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.
You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.
I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.
You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.
You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.
If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

How can I get the files .iso to ext4 in car?
Hello
I installed CentOS6.3 (with the ext4 file system) in a HARD drive, where I kept all the .iso image files & I installed ESXi5.0 on another HARD drive. now, I want to get the CentOS HDD .iso files, which I required for installing OS invited in ESXi5.0. so is there a solution?
Thank you
Since your Windows laptop you can simply point a vSphere client directly to the ESXi host and log in as root (or point your client vSphere vCenter server). Then, in "Home > inventory > hosts and Clusters" highlight a VMHost in the pane on the left and from the summary in the right pane tab, identify the listed storage. Right click on the data store desired and go through it. From there, you can click on the appropriate icon at the top to download a file or folder.

Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work
I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere. Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue? Thank you!!!
Hello:
Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.
You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.
If your computer laptop bluetooth, you need the W7 bluetooth software and driver...
And you can use the version of W7 HP wireless assistant software.
You can also read the manual tools security protect manager, so you can understand how to use the fingerprint reader.

I recently downloaded the Lightroom upgrade but the old version remains the default Lightroom Application on my laptop and I can only access the new version through the Adobe icon at the top of the screen. How can I get the new version of 'replace' the old?
Try to uninstall the old version - it is not necessary. An upgrade is a product independent and fully functional.
