I have a HP mediasmart server LX195. I want to do a Factory reset on this server. I don't have the original software CD.

I have a HP mediasmart server LX195.   I want to do a Factory reset on this server.   Factory reset, I mean completely wiping the drive clean and reinstalling the software, like the LX195 server was brand new.   I don't have the original software CD.  Now, before you do a factory reset, I would need to back up my data.   I have a few questions.

1. I don't have the original software CD LX195 where can I order the original game CD?

2. is there a preparation I need to do in addition to save my data before I perform a complete reinstallation?

3. What are the problems, if any, will I have to run by doing a complete reinstall the server LX195?

Thank you.

    Hello

    I would ask you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for the installation of Windows XP CD and run the sfc scan to check if any system files are corrupt and can be replaced.

    Method 1.
    Let us first start the sfc scan and check if there are any file system corruption.
    a. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
     
    More information on SFC scan found in this document:
    Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Method 2.
    If the problem persists, then create a new user profile and then copy your current users assigning to this profile. For more information, see:

  • NB100 have the original restore CD but no external ODD

    Hello
    A few months ago my NB100-12 caught a bad virus and stopped completely startup in windows. So, I downloaded ubuntu on another computer and installed on my nb100 via a USB key. I now want to put windows xp on the laptop I have the original CD of restoration came with the laptop but I don't have access to an external USB CD/DVD drive? Is it possible using another computer that I can put on a USB recovery CD and start from there to recover my system NB100s.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    PS I think that which is supplied with a recovery CD for a laptop that does not have a CD drive is quite ridiculous. Especially since there seems to be no alternative

    I thought the NB100 came with a hidden rather than recovery discs recovery partition. Are the disks stamped good discs? Or are they DVD-R discs?

  • Warranty void installed new HARD drive, but I still have the original?

    Hello

    I recently installed a new 200GB Hitachi HARD 7200 RPM drive on my laptop, I know that my warranty will be cancelled, but as I still have the original HDD safe and sound, the guarantee will still defend if say... the technicians were to come round to fix my laptop due to an unrelated issue, but see that the HARD drive has been upgraded; they will always fix the laptop even after I show them as the original? It's a long shot I know, but the 40 GB of HARD disc that came with the laptop only leave me little room after installation of Vista.

    At my upgrade COMPLETELY canceled my claim to the guarantee? Even if I just say... come back and install the original HARD drive in my system, just before the technicians come to my house? But that would be the same as if say... I just show the technician the original HDD on arrival while having the HDD Upgrade inside the laptop.

    A bit confusing, I know, but I'm in a quandary, because the guys from Toshiba are set to come around my place to watch my laptop under warranty, and I fear that they will fix my phone because I upgraded to a better HD and faster.

    Thank you very much, I hope someone answers.

    Hi Mohin

    I would like to try to clarify your question.
    The guarantee will be cancelled, if you you disassemble the laptop.
    I imagine that the laptop was equipped with a HDD slot at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the small cache connector HARD drive. Am I wrong?
    So in this case the upgrade of components such as the memory or the HARD drive will not avoid the warranty.

    But it s a good idea to keep the old HDD that were shipped with the laptop.

    Best regards

    NKALE,

    It is OEM, sale retail or Volume Licensing? If it is OEM, the tile should be on your CPU. If it's retail, should be on the back of the box. If it's VL, then you should see in https://eopen.microsoft.com.

  • Motherboard went out on my computer and I have the original OS from computer disks.

    My motherboard of the computer came out on me, but I have the original OS disk, with which he came (and the serial key). If I install this new motherboard, I'll be able to use my original OS drive? Can I disable it the old mobo so I can use this new? Can I download a trial version of Windows and activate it with my serial key?

    If you have a version of OEM Windows XP product key does not work on the new motherboard as the OEM versions are linked to the 1st computer/motherboard on which it is installed.

    For a 'Full' version of XP, you should have no problem with the exception possibly activate by phone.

    You do not disable a motherboard, simply remove the old disk XP if you plan to use a new hard drive.

    There is no trial version of XP.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM is gone on my 8310 and I don't use the desktop software nor have I tried to load the beta version from 5.0

    Hello

    I have a Curve 8310 running v4.2.163

    I am a Mac user and do not have the desktop software.

    Yesterday I dropped my phone and the battery jumped, after replacement, BBM icon disappeared and could not be found, most of the posts I've seen says to reinstall the BBM Office but isn't an option for me.

    Please help, I feel naked without BBM

    Welcome to the forums of liliane

    I propose two options for you:

    1 find a friend with a PC and install the Desktop Manager, load BBM from there

    2. go to the store of your operator and they can do it for you

    I think www.blackberry.com/messenger from your phone can also allow you to load it, but I think it can only be for BBM 4.0 and 4.1.

    Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.
