    original title: windows 7 gamer edition

    Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

    Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

    You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

  • Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

    I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
    The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

    The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

    Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

    In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

    Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

  • EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

    Greetings!

    I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

    I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

    I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

    The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

    The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

    I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

    Any advice would be welcome!

    (the location is the South Africa)

    NoKillBill

    The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

    And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

    Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

    It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • BOOTMGR is missing after you mount the new hard drive

    I have an acer 6930g laptop using windows vista. My laptop crashed and left the hard drive corrupt / unreadable, so I set up a hard drive again.
    When I start it shows message BOOTMGR is missing.on restart alt f10 not work.i have the 2 dvd backup which I was invited to burn when I first bought computer I tried to load these, but the ability to load backup Hi drive light not so can not click on it. This option is the factory restore and it shows error impossible restoration - reason 0xd000000d. Click ok to restart the computer... and then I am back to BOOTMGR missing again.

    Hello

    If you created the backup restore disc complete by using Windows backup and restore, you try to perform the system restore. If you have not created backup disk using restore option, I suggest you to contact the computer manufacturer to restore Windows vista.

    Warning: When you use a Windows complete PC backup image to restore your computer, it is a complete restoration. You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten. You must regularly back up your files by using the back up files Wizard.

    Step 1:  I suggest to start in safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: If you successfully boot to the desktop then safe mode put the computer in a clean boot, and then restart the computer:

    Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: If you are able to boot to the desktop in safe mode, then try a system restore and see if it helps:

  • Recovery using HP disks to install 2 hard drives in place of very low partitions on both disks, now what?

    HPm9400z crashed and I thought that it is a good time to put in a bigger hard drive.  Installed a 1000 g and 300g original discs.  I used the recovery disks that I sent there for (recovery hard disk does not work) to start a new one.  Install windows on the new drive of 1000g.  Recovery went well, windows vista, it works...  BUT hard drives now only shows 50g and 15g each.  How can I fix it?  I tried to make a bootable DVD to reformat the drive HARD 2 (old school?)  but could not figure out how to do this in Vista.  Any suggestions?  Or should I just get a Mac?

    Go to administrative tools-> computer management, and then select on the left disk management. Fully develop the window. You can try the right mouse click on your C drive and you should see a selection of Extend.  You could also a space not formatted in the main window.

  • Two hard disk drives, how to remove the new E drive in XP?

    My XP system crashed and I reinstalled the Windows XP operating system and I have now 2 hard drives, the original C with 76 GB of space and the new E with only 2.5 GB of space and I get a message that says that my disk space is insufficient, and I can download is nothing more nor can I use the system restore because it says that there is not enough disk space.  How can I get rid of this new drive E and keep my old C drive?

    You told us that if you try to install with a CD or a restore partition by pressing an F key?

    The product key sticker is on the side of the hard drive?  It's a bit a strange place for the Windows product key sticker, this sticker is usually outside the computer.  You really need to make sure that you have the product key, otherwise you will not be able to install Windows!  The product key is made up of five series alphanumeric each containing 5 digits or characters in this format: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

    I can only emphasise this point, you better, make sure you have the right key, otherwise you will be up the proverbial Creek without a paddle!  If you can still start the old installation of Windows, I suggest strongly that do you use ProductKey of Nirsoft to retrieve and check the key used for installation, ProductKey is available here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

    How many hard drives you have installed in the computer?  If you have only one disc, and if you use a CD for installation, then when you get to the selection screen of disc and partition delete all partitions on the disk and then create a new partition using all available space on the drive and format it NTFS.  Once you do that and before you start Windows Setup, restart the computer with the CD and then install Windows on the new partition, this restart after you delete and recreate partitions avoids assignments of unexpected drive letter by the installation program.  It goes without saying that all data on the disk will be lost when you delete the existing partitions, and then create a new.

    When you install Windows make sure that only the keyboard, mouse and monitor is connected to the computer, disconnect all other devices such as external hard drives, printers, flash drives, etc.
