If I change my hard dsik which would mean I have to buy a new windows OS / if not then how can I solve the problem?

I would like to change my HDD without having to buy a new Windows operating system. And I'm not sure if it is possible or not.

The motherboard is not defective, correct?  If you override to 'improve' the unit and the original motherboard is not defective, then, Yes, you will need to purchase a new license.  You've essentially created a new machine.

In this case, you will need to purchase a new license.

Since the motherboard contains the processor and is "the heart and soul" of the PC, then replacement of the motherboard (for other reasons than to default) a new PC is essentially created. The system integrator original manufactured not this new PC and cannot therefore be expected to support it.

In this case, you can use the original license:

If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to purchase a new license of PC operating system as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make and model or equivalent/replacement by the manufacturer, as defined by the manufacturer warranty of.

    If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server.

    SMART is a technology on newer computers that allows the computer to monitor the health of hard drives in your computer. Something happened to one of your readers that detects the smart as a problem, and she's trying to warn you proactively to this topic before it fails.

    It may be also that you have installed a very old hard drive that does not support the CHIP and the monitor reports that it can not read the drive status.

    So depending on your level of knowledge and experience, you can watch to replace the hard disk that is reported, or you can disable SMART followed to make the message disappears. The second option but then means if it is really a failure, it is likely any work stoppage or corrupted so data you do note to solve.

    If you do not have your product key, you have serious problems.

    It is on a sticker on the case of the computer, or packaging and corresponds to 25 numbers arranged in 5 groups of 5 digits.

    As you reinstalled Vista, and it is not enabled, we can not help you recover from your operating system running and active.

    Contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    See you soon.

    My laptop that I bought in January this year has been preloaded with windows 7 starter. I don't have the installation disc. What I have to buy one in order to install the new hard disk

    Have you given up on trying to resolve why the computer won't start? You will need to provide more information about what happens when you try to start the computer. There are several reasons for which a computer does not start and a damaged operating system is only one. Please describe in detail what happens when you press the button.

    Remember that a computer bought in January 2011 is very likely still covered by the warranty.

    In the event of failure of the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) system, if that's what you see, for most users there is sufficient time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    You can get the computer to boot by following the advice in the following link:
