I replaced the hard drive in my laptop and I don't have a vista disc to reinstall it because it was already on it again. __

I have the product code - download vista to use my product code with?

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

    Hello

    Regarding replace HARD drive, drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 56 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new HARD drive, there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 you can use the following method to create your own family Windows 7 Edition installation disk basic 64-bit.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC. However, it not there no download directly available for Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, so you'll need to download another version (one will do, but the link below is for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - the source of the Windows Image is Digital River.).

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

    For the key on your label of COA to work, you must now use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version Installer.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/85813-Windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html

    Once done, use an application like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    You could possibly need for your laptop can be found, additional drivers and software here.

  • How to replace the hard drive in a laptop G500

    I tried to install openSUSE Linux on my new G500 12.3 and were unable to do so. I think there is a problem with the hard drive so I want to replace it. I worked on other phones and they all live on the base which allow you access to the memory and the hard drive. The G500 mouse does not work. How it is falling apart?

    Hi nlgootee,

    Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

    You will need to remove the screws in the compartment

    After that you must slide the cover toward the front of the laptop.

    Note: Be careful on the removal and replacement of parts, any physical or cosmetic damage will not be covered.

    Best regards

  • If I replace the HARD drive of my laptop with Win7 OEM how to recharge Win7 with no CD?

    Hello

    I checked my laptop and the operating system, Windows 7, has "OEM" as part of the product Ref ID. That is as I expected.

    This cell phone which is a Samsung R540 is practically zero it is guaranteed for 12 months and has already had two replacement hard drives installed under warranty by authorised repairers.  I'm waiting for his failure some time and it will then no longer be under warranty.

    The hard drive is easily replaced by me, but then I won't have an operating system in which case I have to

    ) a purchase new op system,.
    (b) portable send the repairman newe HDD and opus system installed at extra cost to me or
    (c) complain of Samsung.

    I don't mind buying a new HARD drive, but I object to having to then buy a new op system.

    It's a scam!

    Did someone solved this problem?

    You will have a recovery disc, the value of their share to contact Samsung or:

    You can upload an image and use the product key on the COA sticker at the bottom of your laptop to reactivate the license and download the necessary drivers on the manufacturers website:

  • Replaced the hard drive with same MFG and size and can not start

    I have a HP P6247c, windows 7. It was freezing at the top and then I received a message that was not the hard drive. I replaced the power supply 2 days before with a 400 Watt power supply. After I received the message of hard disk, I ran a checkdisk and found many segments I couldn't read. After checkdisk, the computer would not boot. I buy a seagate 500 gig drive and installed is the same as the original drive.

    With no backup, I bought the system for this computer recovery disk. I received three disk with the recovery disk and a 4th system (SDRD UPDATE). The disc SDRD has said above to install this drive frist. I did it, but know not what happed after inserting the disc into the DVD player (saw nothing happen). Then I incerted the frist and nothing windows disk arrived. I stopped with the system recovery disk, because nothing was working. Then, I used a repair disk and got an error IO error 0xc00000e9 message.

    I can get to try to start and press the AF button ESC. It give me a message on hp logo (blue screen) indicating the BIOS loading but does nothing after that. How can I solve my problems. I tried reinstalling memory chiop and check all connections to ensure good connection.

    Note: before replacing the power supply, I found a lot of dust on all internal components. I cleaned all with air.

    I recommend to try a Linux Live CD that will test to see if the hardware can actually support a simple OS.  It does not need to install anything, just to do the Live CD on a work computer, and then try to start the PC on the Live CD problem.  If it works well and can do many things, wait for a PC, then try a sale installation disc retail for Windows (same version that is from the factory) and use the key on the COA sticker.  If that fails, then it must be a hardware problem and requires more tests or a repair shop or a punt.

  • HP G61-322NR: how to replace the hard drive of my laptop

    I'm new, please help.  Hard drive my laptop has failed and must be replaced.  Can I order a similar disk (a 160 GB SATA drive) on ebay.  Question: when I receive and replace the disk, what steps should I take to the BIOS of the laptop to recognize the new disk, make the primary, and then install the operating system Windows 7 from my recovery DVD?

    Perhaps the BIOS sees the drive automatically and I can simply use the Reccovery DVD?

    Thank you!

    It really is exactly as simple as that. And I'm glad that my metaphor of the car has been heard.

    No, I don't think laptop IDE drives were made in sizes more than 500 GB. And the greatest, I see out there in any quantity is a 160 gig. This 320 gig was great, I could find on eBay right now:

  • Replacing the HARD drive on the satellite A110-252

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard drive for my laptop and I don't know which are compatible.

    I understand that I need a 2.5 "internal HDD, size 7 cm x 10 cm x 9.5 mm

    However the confusion for me is above the interface, I think I understand it, is that it is a SATA interface - this correct?

    .. and if so, I noticed there are SATA-150, SATA-300 & SATA II HDD, you or the other of these works to the machine?

    Is this all I should which is not compatible with the laptop, for example rotation speed, he search speed, maximum size, manufacturers etc.?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Douglas

    I understand you very well. Sometimes I m also very confused because the entire designations in the laptop world
    In any case, during the search on the net I found useful information on the compatible HARD drive for your laptop.

    It seems that the satellite A110-252 support SATA (serial ATA) 1.5 G interface. Most compatible hard drives support a rotational speed of 5400 RPM and that is why I recommend buy HARD drive 5400 RPM

    The laptop comes with 60 GB HARD drive. Am I wrong? I think generally you should be able to use a 80, 100 and 120 GB HDD without any problem.
