  • Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

    Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

    And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

    After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • My hard drive is damaged. I got a new hard drive and now I want to reinstall Windows. Can I use my existing product key?

    original title: my hard sucks

    my hard is damaged in some portion.can, I changed the new hard drive and reinstall Windows vista with the existing product key?

    Hello

    Yes, you can reinstall vista with your product key on the new hard drive

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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 vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    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

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista

    This computer is having problems and we tried to upgrade to Windows 7 hard drive crashed.  We installed the new hard drive.  Now, we try to activate this copy but code comes up saying invalid for a clean install.  We need to have some new code or just get ours to work.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    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.

  • The computer date went before a day, switched back and now Firefox will not record history.

    Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

    TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

    Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

    Hello!

    I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

    WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
    * key series *.
    * numbers of many * X 1881991

    Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

    Hello

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.

  • Renamed the external hard drive and now 5 Lightroom can't locate photos that were underway

    My husband uses Lightroom 5.  All of his pictures are saved and imported from an external hard drive.  Today it has renamed the hard drive, and later, when he went to the room open light, it does not find who he had worked on the picture.  Photos and those that it has exported are still on the hard drive, but he was still editing are not displayed.  Any ideas?

    Because Lightroom uses the hard real path for images, change the name of HD has broken this link. The best way to restore the link is to go in the library, make a right click (control click on Mac) the folders on the left side and select the location of the update folder. If the images are in a closed file as the top-level folder (recommended) digital capture needs updating. If there is a lot of files, then you will need to update each record separately...
