I reinstalled Vista on a new hard drive and after installing the drivers Bluetooth, the icon will not be displayed in the control panel
A few weeks ago my drive hard out crapped on me and I bought a new one. I installed Vista on it and thought that I installed all the drivers. Yesterday, I had to use my bluetooth and noticed that it has not been installed. After knowing that I need a patch for it, I was able to connect my phone to my computer. But now the icon is not in the control panel so that I could easily adjust settings or view paired devices. I can only adjust the settings of the icon in the bottom left of the taskbar. Whenever I try to view paired devices I get the icon of waiting and then nothing happens.
Macuahuitl salvation,
Ø what service pack is installed on your computer?
If you don't have SP2 on your computer, you may not be able to see the icon in the control panel. Try to install SP2 on your computer and check the status.
OR
You can uninstall the device blue tooth from the Device Manager and restart the computer that will install the generic drivers, then check if the icon is listed in Control Panel.
Please post back the result.

Reinstalling Vista on a new hard drive in a Dell XPS420
I have been using my Dell XPS 420 for years, but lately the C: drive (with Windows Vista Home Premium and the recovery partition) are dead. I had to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive. It went well until Vista was finished all the updates that are accumulated. He says that my Windows is not genuine, and he refused to go further than the connection. The Windows CD is Dell and it came with the computer. My Dell warranty expired a long time ago. Can anyone help?
Using the recovery process of the manufacturer normally does not require activation. It will activate itself during the recovery process.
Product key and product ID are two different things

How to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive in a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC
Original title: ok, so I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC right... and my hard drive crashed just completely, I had a new hard drive and now I want again to install windows Vista on it, but I don't have a restore cd but I have a back on my old operating system... What can I do? Help?
is there anyway that I can restore my operating system...?Hello
What do you mean by: "I have a return upwards on my old operating system?"
You make an image and with what program?
If this is not a picture read more.
Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I put the system disk in my cd drive, but it does not start. I looked in my bios and I see my cd listed and I chose it to start up. Does anyone have the answers. I worked on this for 2 days and I am at my wits end at this point. I even recorded files from the drive to a flash drive, but that doesn't work anymore. Help.
[edited for clarity]
You can check if the new HARD drive is listed on BIOS SATA devices?
Press F2 at startup.
I don't think that the size will be a problem but you need to check if the HARD disk is read by the BIOS.

I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that!

It is the recovery disk, they want me to or what? also if you know a CV or another page which includes help on this specific topic would also help! Thank youalso, I can still use the old drive hard when it is installed on my laptop!HP pavilion dv5220us running windows xpI had advanced care system that had a top registry Fixer and I got ccleaner as well on the computerinternet security Norton 2011
Hello panjok2,
Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive. If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.
In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case. If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Best regards

I have a desktop Dell-540 in which my c drive is a Raid 1 configuration of 1 TB (two disks to not up to 1 TB, Raid 0, which is the backup) which has all my programs and data. I have a 2nd J: 1 TB (single drive - no raid) drive that I use as my back in-house to my drive c.
I am running in all genres or the problems of Windows 7 as well as running out of space so I would install a new 2 TB drive as new drive c and re - install windows 7 for a clean install on a single partition. I intend to disconnect my current c drive (which consists of my two disks in a raid 1 configuration) as well as to disconnect the 1 TB drive unique j and connect my new 2 TB drive. I would like to install a clean version of windows 7. So my question is this:
If I disconnect all the old disks (c and J) and install a new one and start to load windows 7 on it, the new facility does affect the bios or motherboard settings?
f for some reason so I have encounter problems, can I just unplug my new drive of 2 TB and re - connect my original c drive and drive j back to the motherboard and have it load up as it was before original, I unplugged my old PC would be back up and runing? Or, install Windows 7 on a new drive change the settings of the motherboard or bios Setup that would prevent me to connect to any return to as it was before I started?
In fact, raid 0 is striated, which means that two readers work as something one 1 TB raid 0 disk is made from two 500 GB drives. RAID 1 is mirrored, meaning that you would have two 1 TB drives each of which is one exact copy of the other. Replacing your hard drive and perform a clean installation of Windows 7 will not change your bios settings. You will need to enter the bios and change the configuration of the training of raid 0 or 1 for sata before install Windows on the new drive. To return to your original configuration and the hard disks, you will need to enter the bios and re - configure the hard drives in the raid 0 array or 1, whatever one you had.

I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a NEW hard drive
I need to upgrade my hard drive a 500 GB to a 2 TB hard drive. I want to keep the old hard drive as what without having to format. I'll put it on in the case where I never need to access the data that's out there. I have the key Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit disk and license. Is it possible to just install it on the hard drive again without any license validation error or the old hard drive must be formatted to remove windows. Desktop PC. Thank you
Hello
Legally, you must save your data > wipe this most hard > re - install your data, and then use this drive hard as you would normally use an external hard drive. namely for data only.
One license is for a single installation.
_______________________________________
You can have activation issues with the new hard drive and reinstall anyway.
If you do, then use phone Activation > do not follow Auto prompt > but brace yourself for a real person explain to the.

Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.
I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

original title: activation problem
-I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive. He is now not letting me turn it back on. What should I do? I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows
It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code. But it is to say that it is not valid.
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next

Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed

Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
