• Problems accessing the HP Recovery Manager after the installation of new copy of Windows 7.

  I have the HP Pavilion dv6 (2043us) originally with Windows 7 Home Premium. A recent storm crossed in my area, which seems to me to be the cause of a corrupt hard drive file that prevented Windows startup. My extra fathers using copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (is a prominent IT guy for his company, he has a lot to lose) I decided to install it from that rather than using the HP Recovery Manager in order to save my files (Windows Startup Repair and system restore failed, and to restore the default factory was not desirable) as I mentioned it because of my desire to save my documents) I have installed on the same partition as the original windows, allowing files to be viewed in Windows.old.

  However, after all that, I came to the will to restore the default settings. However, after you press (esc) and (f11) to access the Recovery Manager, it is bring up the Windows Startup logo and the login screen. Is it possible to access the Recovery Manager and restore the default settings? If so, how should I do this? As I said, I left all the original parts intact, so I do not think it is possible after some research, but I'm not sure how to start the process.

  This method to get the active recovery partition was first introduced to me by Cheryl here on the site. It may or may not work.

  Right-click on computer and click Manage > search in the list on the left, and then open disk management. You should see the recovery partition it. Click right and whether it is active and the next time that you start it up, it should boot into the recovery partition and restore back to the factory.

• Receive a message regarding activate to Windows XP: "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can continue to use it."

  Why do I need to reactivate Windows XP?

  Had the genuine Windows XP on my computer for years, which was activated when I bought it. Recently have messages saying: "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can continue to use it."  Tried to turn it back on, but just get a message saying that it is "unable to establish a connection with the activation server" and I can't go any further. Any ideas what is happening?

• How can I install a fresh copy of Windows XP by using my own product key?

  I have an old computer with windows xp home edition preinstaled, but do not have the disc to reinstall, I can download the new copy of windows and use my number on this computer?

  original title: Windows Xp home edition download

  first of all, it is unlikely that you can download a new copy of windows xp, because it is old and not sold more.

  and if you can download a new copy of xp from an old site, then would be his "own product key which is coded in the installation files that are required to activate the operating system after the installation...

  If you think you might be able to switch on the product keys, then this is not possible because the fresh product key is required to activate the new copy of the os and you would have to buy this cool o.s. to get its product key and activate the operating system.

  and if you go to buy the new copy and the new product key, and then try to replace the new product with the old key is not necessary or logical...

  Perhaps, because your computer comes pre-installed with xp, you could look for its brand and model number on the internet and see if the factory he built has suggestions on again store the operating system on it.

  try searching for 'factory restore' or "getting recovery discs" for you system.

• my laptop used win xp pro, impossible to "validate your copy of windows." It was beautiful before the drive hard was replaced...

  My race of the used laptop win xp pro, I have MOM who bought her company when they all upgraded and got again.  It has never included a Win xp pro disk (it doesn't even have a disk drive, I have to hang it on an external disk drive) but it has the license key (original tag) on the underside.  A few months ago, the hard drive failed and crashed.  I had a friend replace the hard drive.  To get it up and running, that it must connect to a personal computer running win xp pro.  Reloaded all through his computer, I guess that copied to mine?  The problem is now media played just ran an update/upgrade to wmp 11 and now I get a message "validate your copy of windows" and Media Player does not work...

• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• By using an activated copy of Windows on multiple computers

  I am aware of a situation where a single activated copy of Windows (with a single license, no volume) is distributed on multiple computers for commercial purposes. This is done in a single image using the image of several computers.

  The company is to buy a new license for each PC, but these licenses are not actually used and active on new computers. The license sticker is just attached to the computer while the pre-activated Windows copy stays on the PC.

  This means that many computers were shipped with the same license installed.

  Can someone tell what the legal situation of this please? I'm afraid that even if they buy the licenses, they still distribute licensed copied on several PC.

  It is not legal, and additional computers will be later (3 months) blocked and begin to restart every 2 hours.

• Select CTRL or copy, does not work - using the new Windows 7-

  Using the new Windows 7, it still does not work:

  > To select the non-consecutive files or folders, press in and hold the Ctrl key and then click each item you want to select.

  There is also the same problem when you use the Ctrl key to 'Copy', rather than 'move '.

  Sometimes a reboot will fix it, but other times not. Is it an appropriate solution for the Ctrl key work properly?

• How can I copy large files (> 15 GB) on several CDs or DVDs using features in Windows 7?

  How can I copy large files (> 15 GB) on several CDs or DVDs using features in Windows 7?  I tried Media Player, but simply, he stops and tells me that the file I copy is great.  I am looking for a way that will tell me to enter another dissk and continue copying until the file has copied at the end.

  You need to split the file into segments that will be adapted on the disks you are using.

  Windows has no characteristic that will do this for you. You can get a BluRay drive and disc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc, when you should be able to fit on a single disk file.

• Authenticity of used / second-hand copy of Windows 7 Ultimate retail

  Greetings.  So, I wanted to buy a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Ultimate retail.  It seems that it is no longer available new, leaving me to buy a copy of used / pre-owned.  (Are BTW there other options?)

  I found a seller in private through the Amazon and looked as close as possible to the Internet. all the evidence strongly suggests that it is a reliable seller with an established reputation, a copy in good faith used the marketing software.  So I paid a reasonable price and received the product, including complete packaging that you would expect to find in a store, with all the certificates and product keys and hologrammed DVD and everything else looking as it should.

  This morning, I installed the Win7 and activated the installation with the key of product without any difficulty.  Then I found some verification page somewhere in "authentic" microsoft.com, I don't remember the URL exactly right now, but it downloads a few small .exe, whereupon the reports page entirely installation that it is authentic.

  Then I found the utility to produce the report "diagnosis." the content of this I'm going to paste below down.  The "292" in the product ID seems not to be a MSDN key, as I see it frequently reported here; can anyone confirm that these figures correspond to a retail copy bought in the United States through normal legitimate channels?

  I saw very many reports of MSDN product keys sold with retail packing counterfeit, but this doesn't seem to be what I have?

  Also, I've seen no reports of normal retail licenses copied or sold several times, so it does not seem likely to me?

  Anyone got any comments on that?  I am in the window where I could return this software for a refund, but I see no evidence that this copy is far from authentic and legitimate.

  Is it possible to call Microsoft and have them give no explanation as to how many times a certain license had been activated before?

  All advice and information is welcome!

  Thank you-

  -dave

  Your windows is only valid on the computer, it was originally installed on. It cannot be transferred.
  You can buy a full windows installation on your motherboard retail retail.
  EDIT: added more information.

  ) SLP OEM: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)
