• Hard drive crashed with CS5 on it. Has not been disabled before the collision. Desktopcomputer again loaded on the new hard drive and bu news updates do not work on the new computer.

  Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum! I have a laptop Aspire with Photoshop CS5 extended. The computer's hard drive crashed and so I had to get another hard drive! Obviously as the hard drive crashed, I was unable to disable CS5 extended before the crash. I have it charging on the new hard drive and in the meantime bought a desktop computer in which I loaded CS5. Updates have been working fine on the laptop. I tried to update the program on the new computer, but continue to receive error messages. I have read in any problems and think maybe computer laptop harddrive that crashed had CS5 yet on it, as I was unable to turn it off because I didn't know he was going to crash. I am only able to load CS5 on 2 computers and if it is still on the destroyed hard drive so I'm not able to turn it off and so I presume that is why I can not download the updates on my new computer. I hope someone can help me. I want to keep CS5 on both computers. Thanks in advance bunch Kara

• HP G71: Install the new hard drive and the raw copy

  Hello

  My HP G71 is 64-bit, 4 GB RAM and hard drive WD320BEVT. The laptop has more than 5 years of service and I want to replace with a new hard drive while performing a raw copy of the current. I have a dual boot Win 7/Ubuntu installation I want to keep on the new hard drive.

  As I have not found a new HD of the same type and capacity, I would like to replace the current one with an another Western Digital 2.5 ", the IDE interface, but with a capacity of 0.5 to 1 TB (I choose one or the other).

  My questions:

  -can I install one of these hard drives on this laptop? They are compatible with the current BIOS/chipset?

  -If I make a raw copy of the 320 GB drive to the 0.5 or 1 TB, how would the current operating system partitions will be reflected in a higher capacity drive?

  -J' bought an IDE/USB interface adapter as well as to make possible the raw copy, could you recommend, if these questions have the THUMB, a good free to use software that I could use?

  Thanks for your help!

  Yes I use Kubuntu and tried several times to just the entire disk image and it does not reproduce partitions Linux and Grub, but when you try to start Linux it will hang and say can not find the prior specific hard drive. So now I just make a backup of Windows and reinstall Kubuntu from scratch. Much easier. I think there are also Linux backup programs you can use, but never really saw the need.

• HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

  I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

  I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

  I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

  I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

  I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

  bozzle73

  My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

  But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

  You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

  Good luck

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

(as I told you before, all the DVD kit is at or only for Windows 8 Pro)

  I hope someone will help me answer my question,
  Thank you

  Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

• How to install the new hard drive and windows key?

  Hello

  I have a aspire v5-121-c72g32nkk.
  I have just updated to Windows 10, don't panic, but I want to upgrade my HD drive to a SSD drive.

  You can find the steps to do this?
  Windows was preinstalled, how I reinstall on another drive?
  I have no serial key or whatever it is.
  I'm a bit lost, you have an idea?

  Best,

  There are several ways to do this, anyone have product keys, since

  If you want to do a clean install:

  Windows 7-8 - 8.1 keys are embeeded on your BIOS

  Windows 10 use a generic key during the upgrade, so just skip the steps questions about a product key and the first time you connect on the web, it will authenticate to.

  You must decide:

  (1) do a clean install of your operating system to factory

  (2) make a disk - image of the system image and reload

  (3) to do a clean install of windows 10

  option 2 is the fastest at the end, as you create a copy of your HARD drive and reload it to your PC.

  you need a bootable windows 10 (USB or DVD) media and little space on external HARD drive.

• Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

  I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

  I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

  The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

  • Overview of the House of insiders
  • Overview of the Insider Pro

  Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

  When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

• Resync after the new hard drive and battery failure - SOLVED

  I have Vista32 and Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 all works very well with my Treo 680.

  My son tungsten battery went to zero and I put it on the cradle without data now.

  Recently, I replaced my hard drive and have his registered user directory.

  When I sync, it does not recognize the user directory that I copied to My Documents/Palm OS Desktop / (username)

  When I create a new account it just creates the account and I have to manually reload everything.

  How can I easily copy all the old stuff from the tungsten to the computer?

  It was the same exact version of HotSync.

  I don't use Palm Desktop.

  I does not solve the problem but after 2 hours.

  (1) I have synced the tungsten, create a new user with empty data.

  (2) I then faked a dead battery by doing a hard reset on tungsten.

  (3) I then replaced my new data folder empty (under My Documents/Palm OS Desktop /(hotsync name) with my old data from my hard drive to backup folder.

  (4) I then did a hotsync, which now had the name of Hotsync to choose and feeling that it was a Virgin tungsten, all the old data has been reinstalled.

  (5) thanks for the help

  You can move the windows on a new computer

  If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

  If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  Any help would be appreciated

  First chech that the BIOS is configured to use the CD/DVD drive as frist boot device.

  Then remove the old drive and only connect the new drive.

  Start the PC and insert the CD that you created and boot from the CD.  If there is a "Long full" test, which is that you need to perform. Also check the SMART data (look for bad sectors).

• XPS 420 - HARD drive failed, performing a clean install of Vista on the new HARD drive.

  Hey everybody,

  My on my XPS 420 HARD drive failed and I'm trying to reinstall Vista using the disc that came with my machine back when I bought it.

  I bought a new WD10EZEXAZ (1 TB Serial ATA HDD), he rose in the same dwelling as my old HDD (ST3750630AS * Barracuda 7200.11*). I start the PC and goto Setup, it recognizes the HARD drive in the blue menu.

  Then I boot with the CD of Vista that came with my system. I proceed as indicated through the following url:

  Clean install of Vista

  After its copied files, expanded the files, installed features, updates installed... it goes to "Complete Installation" and throws an error message: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

  I tried a few things I've seen posted on the internet, including trying to run msoobe.exe via command line. When I did, it allows me to Setup user... but finally I get sent to this message of error or another telling me I have to reinstall Windows.

  I read else where some hard disks may not compatible with the Dell disk provides with my OEM machine. If this is the case, can someone advise? I really didn't want to spend $100 one another on a Windows 7 disc, but I feel like this may be my only option... but even in this case, I'm not so sure this will work or the other.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  Tony

  UPDATE *.
  Did some more research, I discovered my new drive HARD is an advanced HDD format... not sure if it has nothing to do with my problems (by www.wdc.com/advformat Vista should not need to perform the work before the OS being installed), but thought I would mention it.

  Thanks again for any help.

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

  Seems that I found the solution to my problem.

  Problem has been fixed by going into the BIOS and change the Mode of Port SATA to IDE/native/AHCI native. After that, the installation worked without any problems. Seems that Windows Setup did not like the port mode is set to RAID.

  Just thought I would post back everybody incase has had the same problem.
