Install Vista on a new HARD drive help

A few days ago my hard drive died. No idea why, but it has just stopped working. I went out and bought a new hard drive at best buy and went home to install Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything works fine until it gets to "Expand the files" around 26%. Once it gets there it just goes to the 'Blue screen of death '. I use a serious Vista x 86 iso to install it (it was my old OS so I just used the serial code I had). I tried to install it 3 times now and no luck.

Now when I turn on my computer it will say "press any key to start from the CD or DVD and BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart"I did another disk and it burned at a lower speed and still happens. Anyone know what is happening?

Specifications of the computer.
Processor: AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core, 2.40GHz
Installed memory - 8192 MB/PC2-6400(2048/DDR2 SDRAMx4)
DD - WD Caviar Green 500 GB SATA

Or just look to the high HP M9400F.

(Material I've pulled out because I thought that he was doing this)
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT
Killer Xeno Pro network card.

Generally, a clean installation of the operating system fails due to a hardware problem or faulty drive or drive

  • Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

    Hi people,

    I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Dave

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

  • Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

    original title: Please help!

    I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

    Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

  • Install Vista on a new hard drive without a Setup disk

    I have a compaq cq71. The HARD drive is faulty (as told by checking the hard drive) and must be replaced. I'm going to buy a new HARD drive but don't know how I can install Vista on it. I have no Vista disk, only the recovery on the old damaged hard disk partition. Can I access the recovery partition is if possible I can create a floppy disk to install from here? Alternatively, if I could borrow a disk from someone else? I still have the product key of Vista on the bottom of my machine.

    Any help much appreciated.

    or buy a set of vista home recovery disks

  • Install Vista on the new hard drive with upgrade media

    Original harddrive in Lenovo has failed. I replaced but didn't have a recovery disk. I bought Windows Ultimate up grade, and he scored when I installed the new drive. After the initial installation, new drive must be reformatted (again). Now windows says my registration number is already installed. It was purchased by me and installed on my original Lenovo machine. I have the original product code on the back of my Lenovo and the new product code on Vista Ultimate box. What can I do to register again? Thank you. Mike

    You must first install the original operating system and activate.  THEN install the Vista upgrade and which activate.  You can't ignore all during the installation of the original operating system.  You can't do a full install of a drive to upgrade (or product key).  I suggest that contact the manufacturer for a set of discs of recovery of re - install the original system.  It is the only way that this is possible.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    I have been using my Dell XPS 420 for years, but lately the C: drive (with Windows Vista Home Premium and the recovery partition) are dead. I had to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive. It went well until Vista was finished all the updates that are accumulated. He says that my Windows is not genuine, and he refused to go further than the connection. The Windows CD is Dell and it came with the computer. My Dell warranty expired a long time ago. Can anyone help?

  • install windows on a new hard drive

    Hi, my laptop has been commissioning so I bought a new hard drive and installed myself. The problem is that I don't have the recovery disks that came with it when we bought it. How can I install windows 7 or vista on the new hard drive.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Loading Vista on a new hard drive

    I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a new hard drive on a laptop HP Pavilion DV6000 of portable entertainment is since 2007.  Now, the laptop came with Vista pre-installed.  The laptop came with a system recovery disk.  My question is: this disk contains Windows Vista I need to load new hard disk?

    GaryRob

    Yes assuming that the new hard disk is at least as large as the former, system recovery disk is exactly what you need to restore the PC as long as you plant. Simply tap on F9 you turn on with the disc in the drive and select the DVD as a source of start-up and follow on-screen prompts. You'll need to do a lot of updates, but you will have a working computer.

  • dv2845se, Vista, incompatible drivers, new hard drive, please help :(

    I'm fighting for a week at least. The HARD drive failed on this pc.

    So it is a pure Windows Vista 64 bit install on a new hard drive.

    It's pc to my son and he did not create recovery discs.

    I used this nvidia chipset sp36607 (evil)

    The chipset for this laptop is not listed here > HP Pavilion dv2845se Verve Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers

    I installed the drivers in this order, because I thought it was the right order. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    (1) sp36607 Chipset

    (2) graphic sp37860

    (3) sp39679 Audio (installation fails. so I used windows update to install this)

    (4) sp37859 Modem

    sp38361 5) HP Quickplay

    (6) sp38688 HP Quick Launch Buttons

    (7) sp39249 Driver WiFi

    8 (a) sp37809 Ricoh 5-1 driver card reader (I chose it because of the uncertainty and because of several apparently in conflict)

    8 (b) sp37872 Ricoh Media Card Reader driver host controller (it is on the page above)

    9 a) Alps Touchpad sp42605 the (I chose this because of the uncertainty and because of several apparently in conflict)

    9 (b) sp37855 ALPS Touchpad Pointing Device Driver (it's the one above on the page)

    (10) YouCam software sp37849

    (11) sp38081 Lightscribe

    I rebooted after each installation of driver to see if that helps.

    I have the BSOD after installing the Alps... it seems to coincide?

    Stop errors are 124 material... ram passes memtest86 + and I use a test drive Seagate tools just because I don't really know what to do at this point. I reinstalled the OS 4 or 5 times already.

    What in the world I am doing wrong? This is by far the more difficult pc for me so far.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dawn

    ETA: HDD spent Seagate long ordeal.

    Hello:

    Sorry you have such a hard time there.

    It is possible that the motherboard is shot, but not because of what you did by installing the drivers.

    The dv2000, books of Series 6000 and 9000 with the nvidia chipset and graphics had serious problems of motherboard, and the more you use the PC - especially if they played video games on it, faster boards are dead.

    HP even had a recall several years ago on these models have replaced motherboards.

    There is another possibility, and it is one of the memory of the chip is bad.  You can remove one and see if the laptop works again.  If it's the same thing, pass the memory chips.  If it still does not work, then it is possible, that it was just time to go.

    Unplug the adapter and remove the battery before working inside the laptop.
