I had a SMART failure had predicted the message of hard drive on my laptop.  If I have to get a new hard drive, how can I reload windows?  I have not all discs with my computer, but I have a product key,

Hello SNQQPYSALS,

You have a few choices:

1. contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery DVDs.

They do it for a small fee.

2 borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend, etc. (NOT a recovery DVDs) Microsoft DVD will contain all versions of Vista.

This is your product key that determines which version is installed.

Just make sure you take the correct 32-bit or 64-bit DVD in Vista 'bit' come on 2 different DVDs.

3. IF your hard drive is still working, make a game of the recovery before it completely Partition recovery DVDs fails.

The manufacturer will tell you how.

    Hey there!

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I understand that you can not restore your PC by using the restore disks.

    It seems that you did not follow the process of creating media recovery or data backup process.

    If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

  • New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

    Hey guys,.

    I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

    The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

    I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

    After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

    Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

    Would be great, if someone could help me.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup unit and transfer of media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is itself saved separately against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

  • new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x

    I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?

    You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.

    OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.

    Either way, you start the Mac.

    Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.

    Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

    Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).

    You can then improve it to El Capitan.

    If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

  • new hard drive, how do I access my cloud apps again

    I installed a new hard drive because the former was not. How can I re - access my creative Cloud with the new player applications?

    Hello

    With the new hard drive installed, you will need to install the creative cloud desktop application and install Adobe products to use.

  • Install the new hard drive - how to proceed?

    My hard drive has bad sectors which (according to Spinrite) is not repairable.  I also ran all the HP utilities who tell me that the hard drive needs to be replaced.  So, I bought a new one that is the same size and the brand as what exists currently in my laptop.

    Laptop is HDX16 that came with Vista.  I upgraded to Win7 before realizing that my Imaging backups were a failure due to bad sectors.  The last good picture I have with Shadow Protect is the system with Vista and is now 3 weeks old.  Meanwhile, I use Norton Security backup feature to back up all my files on a daily basis.   I noticed yesterday that Win7 has a built-in backup feature imagery so decided to see if she would complete successfully and he did.  So now, I have a picture of the Win7 installation as well.

    I did system recovery disks for my laptop.  If I read information of HP correctly, when I run the restore, it will automatically create the partitions C & D on the new drive, install the recovery disk D environment and continues to run since that installation of Vista hard disk?  If so, once the operating system is running on the hard drive again, I think I can then move to Win7 yet and then use the recovery feature to copy the image, I made yesterday to the laptop.  Is this correct?  Am I missing something?

    Otherwise, my other option would be to run the recovery discs, then use the Shadow protect recovery disks to copy the old image of 3 weeks, then switch to Win7 again and somehow find all the files I have created/changed over the last 3 weeks I want to keep and they copy to the laptop?

    Any suggestions appreciated because this is the first time I installed a new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It may be faster to simply restore the image of Windows 7 that you have created the new hard - to do this, you'll need to the Image and a Windows 7 repair CD (you should have been prompted to do this after you have created the Image of the system).  The link below is a guide detailing how to restore an Image of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  • need a new hard drive

    OK, so after a long conversation with the hp support I know that my drive is out on my envy touchsmart can anyone understand what hard drive I need because I know it will be cheaper to pay 200 hp and a week of waiting. Model #4 - 1115dx 500 GB

    also how can I reinstall windows 8 if I do not have a disk as nothing came in a box

    Here is the Manual:

    Repair manuals

    See page 46 for hard drive replacement. This one is a little harder than normal, but still doable. For the replacement of the hard disk; you have a slow hard drive 5400 RPM and here's your chance to it a little punch. You can get a mechanical 7200 rpm or drive hybrid; You can add a cache drive 24 concert Accelerator WSSD. You can even install an SSD.

    Here is a 7200 RPM disk:

    After the back if you want more suggestions.

    You have the DVD player external usb? If this isn't the case, you will have to do a Windows 8 reinstall the USB key. You have access to another computer? I can link you to a download of a 64-bit Windows 8 .iso image and a program that will take this .iso and reconfigure on a USB key (minimum 4 concerts) for resettlement. You'll just have to get your drivers from this site and you will be ready to go. In how far gone is the existing drive? If you could pull the C:\swsetup folder out of the existing drive and store it you would have all the drivers and applications preloaded from your laptop.

  • Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

    Hello

    I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

    I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
    Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

    The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
    Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

    "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

    If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Start Windows normally

    Use top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice.

    Hello

    AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
    This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

    Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
    If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

    I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

    Best regards
