  If your computer has an OEM version (supplied with the computer) of Windows Vista, it is linked to the original motherboard and when you replaced the motherboard the license becomes invalid.  The only exception is if the original motherboard been replaced by or with the approval of the OEM (computer manufacturer) due to a failed motherboard and an exact match is not available.  It would then the OEM manufacturer to provide a license appropriate for the computer.

• Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

• Computer turns on but does not boot to Windows, startup repair does not work

  When I turn on my laptop, it brings me to a screen titled "Windows Error Recovery" which means the following:

  "Windows did not start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. »

  He asks me if I want to '(recommended) launch Startup Repair' or 'Start Windows normally'.

  When I select repair system, the screen turns off for half a second only and brings back me to the exact page as I was already on.

  When I select "Start Windows normally", he brings me to the loading screen that usually starts with Vista (anyone who says (c) Microsoft Corporation), except that it never stops loading.  I left for hours, and he was still on the same screen.

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 with a processor Intel Core 2 Duo and Windows Vista Basic.

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  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.

  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's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• Computer now put in hibernation, Vista will not boot. Computer stuck on black screen after startup. Help?

  I put my computer on 'Hibernate' when I went to bed. When I woke up, I started the computer learned to manufacturer (HP) computer screen introduction as usual, but windows doesn't not load afterwards, as he usually does: I just get a black screen. Lights supply and all the rest are on. Just nothing happens. Any ideas?

  Can I use the firmware from HP (I guess that's what it is) to confirm that my memory and hard drive are very good. I tried Googling the problem, and some signs indicate a problem with the powercfg parameter. I can't get in cmd.exe to reset because I can't get into windows (although through HP firmware, I can enter in "Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - cmd", which seems the same, but the orders that I see offered on websites do not seem to work - help?). Ditto with Safe Mode. I don't have Vista installation disc.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Hello

  You need to contact HP and install recovery disks command to perform a repair.

• router fell, only mouse click, now Windows will not boot up

  I have Vista, and I used my computer with wireless mouse, no problem.  Then my cat hit the small router computer and the speaker behind the counter.  No problem for a while.  Then my mouse has stopped working.  Changing the batteries, no difference. I tried to get to the Task Manager, but not the ability to click, just had to turn off the computer by the button.  When I again started computer, got to the point where I normally press F1 (arrived a few weeks, perhaps in connection with USB ports break?), nothing happened.  I tried hitting F2 and F12, nothing happened.  I turned off computer again one time and return, and everything that happens now is the screen that says: "Dell", dell.com, and has key F2 and F12 options.  When I press on them, nothing happens.  My husband got the router (and speaker), makes sure everything is connected (it was already) and I tried to re-synchronization of the router.  No light is on the router, don't know if it is or not.  Help! (I can not live without my computer!).  Thank you.

• I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

  On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

  Help, please?

  This is not a mechanism supported by Apple to change the size of the Windows partition. Apple supports the remove/reinstall only.

  We try to remedy. Please after the release of the following OSX Terminal commands.

  Is there a way to fix this?
