• Reformat a hard drive, but it still appears in "Tabs on other computers." How can I remove it?

  Recently, I reformatted the hard drive in a PC and do not break the link of the account synchronization before doing so. The machine continues to be present when I pull down the menu option "Tabs from other computers"., even if I have not installed Firefox hard disk cool. How do I remove it from the list?

  Hello!

  Unfortunately it is not possible at this stage. If something bothers you, next time you format a drive hard or generally remove a device from this point of view you should "untie this device" tab sync in the Preferences window.

  Because you cannot return to this specific Firefox profile, you can't do it, but don't worry, it will disappear eventually (the servers store information for ever).

  If you really want to remove it, you need to reset the account and reconnect all devices. To do this, you need to reset the recovery key and set up the account on your computer again. This is the process that we recommend when a device is lost. Make sure that you have a backup of your information before starting the: replace your synchronized data

  And for information about how to back up your profile, follow this link: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

  I hope it helps.

• Adobe Acrobat 4.0. Reinstallation on the new hard drive, but now receives an incompatibility error

  My hard drive crashed and I need to charge my programs. I have dell optiplex. They sent me a disk image hard because I'm under warranty. It runs Windows 7 sp1. Before the hard drive crash, I used my Adobe Acrobat 4.0. I get my new hard drive and am reloading the same programs I've had. Except, I now get an error of incompatibility. This is meaningless to me, as I had win 7 before sp1, I installed Adobe Acrobat 4.0 before, but now it will not work because during the installation, I get an errior of the incompatibility. Are there workarounds.

  Acrobat 4,5,6,7 are not compatible with 64 bit systems. 8.1 seemed to work. Since then, we had 9,10,11 and now "DC". You seem to have got a lucky streak.

• I removed a secondary hard drive but now Vista will not boot. I tried startup repair, but failed. What alternatives are there?

  It is a desktop computer that I built myself, so I have no tech support. Until I removed the hard drive, I formatted to remove all data. Since then, Vista does not start. I used my installation disc to repair Vista, but that has failed. I tried the system restore, which was a success, but Vista still does not start. What else can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello itisallgeektome,

  Open Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management, and then in the next window, click on disk management. When the disk management window opens look down the list of partitions and see if you have a "system reserved" partition This is where the system files are stored.

  If you have installed the drive 'after' that you installed vista, then I accept the boot files would not be on the second drive, but it seems strange that the windows repair option will not correct the bootloader. However, by doing an inplace upgrade this will re - install windows vista (but it will not, or should not affect your files/programs (However it might be useful to back up all the important files that you cannot just in case beed)). As a complete reinstallation is completed, it will create a new bootloader in the process.

• Recently, I built a new computer and used my old hard drive. Now, I can't activate Windows XP via internet or telephone?

  Hello

  I recently built a new computer with a new motherboard, processor and RAM.  The computer works well, but I can't go through the activation of Windows XP.  I tried connecting via internet, and he said that I didn't have a connection, which I know that I do because I can connect to the internet on my motherboard cloud browser.  I tried to call the number that was given, but the computer says that it is not a valid product.  I know that my copy of Windows XP is valid - in my old system, it worked fine.

  Please help me to activate my version of Windows XP.

  If the old version of Windows XP is installed on the computer when you bought it, you invalidated the license by moving the hard drive to a new system.  This license lives and dies on the parent computer/card origin.  If it was a copy of the (bought in a store) retail of Windows, I'd recommend replace because move one disk hard from one computer to the other, sometimes translated as difficult solve incompatibilities due to driver problems.

• Changed HARD drive and now I can not install windows 7

  I bought a new HARD drive and interlaced old, now I am trying to install windows 7 home Premium and I get an error: "Windows Setup cannot configure Windows to run on this hardware of computers.

  Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

  Copy the files to a flash usb without all the folders drive.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope, will install W7.

• My hard drive crashed and I can't get in touch with Microsoft because they want a product id and the number I have is not working. Help!

  I've had my laptop for several years and a week ago, the hard drive crashed. So, although I had all my photos and movies and other saved, I lost Vista. This wouldn't be a problem if I could find the disks that came with the computer at the beginning, but I've moved several times in recent years (college) and I can't find them. Anyway, I'm now trying to get in touch with Microsoft to get a new drive, but they won't talk to you unless you can provide a product key.

  There is a product key on the back of my laptop, but their system apparently doesn't like it and so they're going to make me pay $ 50 just to send someone. Someone knows how to bypass the product key thing, so I can get a customer support?

  Thank you
  Chandra

  Hello

  as vista came preinstalled Microsoft do not offer FREE support for this issue of yours. That is why the price of $50.

  and they ask for a product ID, not a product key that you mentioned; but who has the same result; no free support

  Product ID is completely different from the product key

  your support is the manufacturer of your laptop; but feel free to ask questions on these Forums

  to reinstall vista:

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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

  Is there anyway I could get the default HP-software and features on my new hard drive?

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  You said that you have restored your PC using a DVD, but HP recover media consists of a SET of DVD, not a single DVD - so I have to assume that it was NOT a support of HP recovery.

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  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: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

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

  Good luck

• How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

  Hello
   
  I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

  How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

  Thanks in advance!

  Mike

  You can 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.

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

  It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.
