• Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

  Evening,

  I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

  The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

  Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

  Thank you

  It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

• Hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but couldn't get the windows genuine back 8

  Original title: recovery of original windows 8

  When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.

  Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

  In addition to this, see:

  If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

• Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

  Please, I need pc

  Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

  Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

  Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

  Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  Hello

  How 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 $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  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

• Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

  Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

  I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

  Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

  I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

  I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

  The catalog would have another name or extension?

  I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

  Help!

  HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

  And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

• computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

  computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

  Hello

  You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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.

• have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

  Dear Forum,

  I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

  My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

  I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

  Thank you very much

• Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS

  Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings.  Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.  I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.

  Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere?  I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.

  It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:

  Hello

  First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  ***************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new 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 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 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 - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app 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 that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  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.

• Time Machine replacement drive but can not see the old backups

  Race X Server on 10.11.2 with 5.0.15

  My Time Machine hard disk became full and I replaced it with a new, larger, in the car. I copied everything (using the Finder) from the old to the new drive and set it as the destination of Time Machine for a couple of Mac network.

  I now have a 'new' backup, I don't see one of my old files when entering TM. I can't see my old backups that I copied the disk of TM "Daves Mac.sparsebundle" and alongside a new "Daves Mac 1.sparsebundle.

  How can I continue to use the old backup data?

  Thank you

  "Dave."

  On your Mac TimeMachine backup was severed with the sparsebundle backup on the server - which obviously you saw. If you run this command on one of your Mac you will see something like this (it's just for example).

  The key is that there is an ID associated to backup to the Time Machine backup of service on your OS X Server. This ID is what Time Machine use when working with backups.

  You need to 'reconnect', or 'reassociate', your client computer for backup sparsebundle. The page for command tmutil...
