• 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.

• 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

  Nice. ;)

  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.

• Satellite A660 - 1 H 7 - How to replace the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7

  Hi all

  I'm frequently getting warnings about the health of my hard drive and while it is not catastrophic, I've been umming and ahhing (?) on the replacement of an SSD in the future anyway so thought it was a good excuse.

  My real question is, what the procedure is perfect (or greater) for Windows 7 migration to the new drive? I think I want a default installation because this laptop has had so many programs installed/uninstalled it's probably a bit of a mess.

  I have created 4 recovery DVD disks but have seen on the net they don't work and that download an ISO with the vignette product key can work either. I can't really afford interruption much (or all) so I try to do it safely and securely as possible!

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time,.
  Scott

  > what the procedure is perfect (or greater) for Windows 7 migration to the new drive?

  I think the fastest solution is the use of the recovery disk that you created using the recovery media creator Toshiba. I don't see a reason why it should not work as part of a new SSD.

  I also have another recommendation.
  You can create an image of your current HDD (partitions) using internal Windows 7 Backup and restore
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore

  After using the recovery disk, you can use the created image to get the current status.

• It is possible add a smaller hard drive and load windows os on it so that the system boots from that?

  I have a new h9-1150 systems.

  Have a hard drive 2 TB as OS main drive seems like a loss, especially if it crashes. This would make a great backup disk, but Windows 7 is already installed on it. Is it possible to transfer Windows to a secondary drive?

  Hello

  There are few software around which allow you to clone your HDD in a new HARD drive. Normally, you have to work the numbers (whereby the software). I have clone from a HDD of 750 GB for one SSD 120 GB for my wife machine, 2 weeks back using a product called O & O Diskimage, I had to reduce the c: less than 120 GB first. Now, my wife machine runs on a 120 GB SSD and serve a second HDD of 750Go.

  I hope this helps.

  Resettlement on new disc

  Hey there-

  I bought a new SSD, had it installed and installed Windows XP by using a Setup disk I had laying around.  He wants to be activated (even if the original installation is always on the computer, but on the 'slave', non-Boot drive).  When I try to use the activation code that was on the original hard disk, it will not work.  On the last 10-15 years, of which several were recovered for parts, I bought at least a half dozen computers with Windows XP (i.e., I have many more devices running Windows XP licenses).  I tried to enter codes Activation of certain decisions which have been taken down, and I can't at work either one of them.  I tried to use dial-in Activation (by entering the installation of 54-digit ID), with no luck as well.  Is it possible to get it work?
