• How to re - install Windows 7, when I don't have an installation disc

  I have a netbook running Windows 7, Sony that gives warnings of imminent drive failure S.M.A.R.T.. My question is, if I replace the hard drive, how to re - install the OS that I only have a repair on the old disk partition? The drive is still readable, is there a way to copy it to the new drive (maybe by copying them to an external USB drive). I have the key to license available for re - activate.

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes, if the HD is still functional, capable of error free reads and writes, you can attach a new HD in a USB enclosure and clone the drive. Download the appropriate software on the web site of the manufacturer of the car inside. Otherwise, the software is available from 3 parties. E.g. Acronis True Image (not free).

  You describe the Sony as a netbook, so I guess it doesn't have a CD or DVD drive. To use suggestions from Andre Da Costa, you may have to use a plug-in DVD USB drive.  If you do, you can place the original HD in a USB enclosure to copy files from the user to the new drive. You will have to reinstall applications from whatever media you have.

• I have the basic family Windows Vista Edition key which is on the side of my computer but I can't reinstall it because I don't have an installation disc.

  OK, I got Windows Vista Home Basic on my computer and my hard drive crashed while I do not have the recovery partition. The key is always on the side of my computer. I wonder how I can get a basic Windows Vista Home Edition installation disc without having to purchase and any other key.

  You don't have to buy another license.

  How to get Vista recovery Media.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Windows Movie Maker is not let me download Flip images because I don't have the correct codec?

  I have a Flip video Ultra, model U112OB, and I am trying to download his images on my PC so I can modify it with Windows Movie Maker.  But whenever I try to bring it on movie maker it says: the F:\DCIM\100VIDEO\***+ file. MP4 cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.

  I visited a websight to support customer flip and ordered to download online with windows, but I was not able to find what I'm looking for.

  Any Suggestions?

  First... Download the video in a folder on your hard drive.

  There is some info on the following link:

  Movie Maker and Flip digital camcorders
  http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-CamcordersFlip.html

  (FWIW in Windows Live Movie Maker 7...) MP4 files
  should be compatible)

  Then, convert the video to the. WMV format.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Now, the clamps must be compatible with Movie Maker.

  Good luck.

• Recently installed Windows 7 on Pavilion dv6748us - internal microphone does not work

  I searched on the web, without success, to find how to solve this problem.

  I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on laptop HP Pavilion dv6748us to my wife. Now its internal microphone does not work.

  Have got some advice "roadside" use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what is the driver or how to get it.

  Have found information about uninstalling driver realtek audio and reinstall an earlier version; Have no idea about it no more.

  Would appreciate an answer with a positive result.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello:

  Looking at your system information, you may have one of two possible audio cards:

  Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio

  The fact that you could not install the RealTek HD audio driver tells me that you don't have a sound card RealTek. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check what sound card you have.

  Here are the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant sound card:

  http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3632100&prodNameId=3648286&swEnvOID=2093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-63949-1

  Here are the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek sound card:

  http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3632100&prodNameId=3648286&swEnvOID=2093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-59516-1

  If you have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the driver of more recent, HD directly from RealTek site:

  Accept the agreement, download and install one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to solve the problem you are experiencing.

• I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit

  I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit. But unfortunately I lost the installation disc. How can I upgrade?

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

• Satellite P300 - how to install Windows 7 64 bit?

  Hello

  I had a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade for my P300 which was under Vista 32 bit. During installation, asked me if I wanted to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 and I chose 32-bit. Installation worked fine.

  Now (moths later) I decided that I would like to install the 64-bit version instead. I have an own (custom) settled by booting from the DVD, but it don't did me not option for the moment and all re-installed Windows 7 32 bit. I know that the 64-bit version is on the DVD (there is a folder for it) - how to start from the DVD and have it install the 64 bit version?
  I didn't format the drive when you perform the clean installation - if I do that it will give me the option?

  Thank you
  Ben.

  Great news, mate! :)

  Thank you for this feedback. I'll test it on my Satellite P300 I want to upgrade to Windows 7 too.

  In addition, an upgrade is possible to the same version: This means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7. On 64 bit it s the same ;)
