My don't on my Sony Vaio VGN-SZ670N hard drive died and I have no other choice in replaces it.  The new drive has no operating system, and I don't have a recovery CD.  I have my Microsoft for Vista 7 key information as well as my Office Professional 2007 but do not know where I can buy a cd of Vista Ultimate that will reinstall Vista ultimate on the new hard drive.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks to you all.

Hello

There is NO vista 7

There is vista or windows 7 operating system

they are different operating systems

your question is confusing

the header:

"to reinstall windows 7."

the body of the message;

"Reinstall Vista ultimate.

These are forums for more information of vista vista:

http://eSupport.Sony.com/

Contact sony and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Lost my HARD drive and you want to reinstall windows

    I got an Acer TimelineX 4820 t. that has suddenly stopped working, it turns no more and they said that I may need to also replace the HARD drive. So I bought a new laptop, but it comes with windows 8 and I need Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (the one I got). I have the key that was on the Acer (at the back of the laptop). My question is: if I reinstall win 7 with the same key on the other pc? (dual boot) If not, can I get it for free? (legally of course)

    The preinstalled version of victory over death PC and its key on the label is valid only for the dead PC, its an OEM win version and can not be installed on a new slice of replacement/PC (or this key can be reused)

    Why do you need win7 Home Premium?, all programs that have been installed on the PC dead should also install on the new.

    You can't get a free win7 version, and its likely your preinstalled version of win8 didn't downgrade rights.

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  • Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

    My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

    According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

    I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

    Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards
    Thomas

    Nice. ;)
    To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

  • Windows 7 says this isn't authentic after changing the HARD drive and can not activate

    After a Windows Update I received a notice that my version of windows was not authentic, which is false because I had windows on my laptop because I got it 4 years ago. Recently, I had to have the changed HARD drive as it corrupts. Installed new HARD drive and partition it a space in which the old files to hard drives. Seemed to turn very well when HARD drives were exchanged and windows installed on the new drive until windows update. My Microsoft certificate key is passed out to illegible but I don't have the product key for the OEM version. Any help would be great, thanks.

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, you can enable using the code from the sticker on the computer.  If you can not read the sticker more, you will need to contact the computer company he built.

    If you purchased Windows from the store, you can enable using the code of the case/box/CD.  If you can't read it, you must contact the retailer who sells to you.

  • Changed the hard drive and stays of Windows vista is not genuine

    Original title: why do need me a new product key
    My computer stopped working and a new hard drive has been implemented. Now my computer asks for a product key and my computer says that I am using a windows vista that is not authentic. My background goes black and won't keep any substance I put in place.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!
    You have reached the right forum for your question.

    This problem occurs because you changed the hard drive. When a change is made in the hard disk of the windows vista system will ask you to activate.

    To activate Windows Vista by using the automated telephone system, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, and then click computer.
    b. click System Properties on the toolbar and then click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation section.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    c. click Show me other ways to activate.
    d. click on use the automated telephone and then follow the instructions.

  • Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

    I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

    -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

    -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

    -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

    -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

    The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

    Plan a.

    I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

    Plan B

    If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

    Plan C

    Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

    Am I missing something?

    In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

    Thank you!

    Don,

    Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

    1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

    2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

    3. install the SSD.

    4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

    5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

    6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

    7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

    You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

    Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
