• Installation of Windows on a new hard drive

  I have a computer I want to get a new, more large hard drive. The vehicle currently has Windows Vista installed on it and the hard drive still works, I just need more space. What should I do to install Windows on the new drive? I will use the installation disc that came with the computer. If I get out the old hard drive, install a new one, put Windows on the new, then format the old one? Basically, I want to avoid having Windows installed on two hard drives to work.

  Hello

  the steps you have mentioned are correct:

  take out the old hard disk - the new drive hard install - reinstall vista - old erase hard drive

  You can then use a the old hard drive to backup your data

  and read too much about the displacement of the full to avoid you operating system having to load data and programs again. but then you still wipe the old disk

  It might make you save time and effort:

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

• Installation of Windows 7 with new HD failure

  Background information:

  Just bought a new WD 1 b HD for my laptop Latitude E6510. Has decided to install Windows 7 64 bit version at the same time.

  Problem:

  I get about 3/4 the way through the installation and "Complete the Installation" (where system restarts normally several times)... the screen blinks several times, and then restart. Loading Windows comes up and then a mistake with this message, "installation of Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer." I click ok, the system reboots, I get a "Setup is starting Services", then the same error once again!

  I try to come back just to recharge my 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I get the same error.

  Aid or reflections on this issue, would be greatly appreciated.

  Load the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver F6Flpy SATA driver during installation. You can get one from Dell drivers and downloads directly to your model or go directly to Intel:

  Open Computer

  Click with the right button on USB

  Click on Format

  Make sure that FAT32 is selected as the file system.

The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

• How can I get my installation of windows in my new pc

  My pc packed earlier, essentially the coprocessors and the motherboard has failed.

  I had Windows Vista and Windows 7 is installed as a dual-boot options. Vista is an upgrade on XP, 7 was also an upgrade, but I have it installed as a new installation.

  I decided to build a new pc, re-using many parts of my old, including hard drives, but obviously using a new card motherboard and CPU.

  I really don't want to pay for Windows, microsoft have had more than enough money out of me over the years.

  I am not too concerned by will work for Vista, but I want to reuse my license of Windows 7. I have the discs for Windows 7, can I have the disks for Vista but XP was installed when I originally bought my old PC and didn't come with any disks.

  Ideally, I would stick my old hard drive in my kit and it work just but I'm not naïve enough to think that will happen. Anyone can give a direction would be appreciated.

  Well, to install the Windows 7 upgrade, you actually have a license of previous qualifications, since it is an upgrade version. Or your original OEM of Windows XP or Vista Upgrade eligible because XP can not be transferred to a new computer and Vista upgrade cannot be used for product calling itself being an upgrade. You really should use a full version.

  You can give the following a try if:

  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.

• HP TouchSmart 420 - 1000 t CTO: need help with the installation of windows on a new hard drive for HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO (bought in 2012)

  My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

  I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

  I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

  Thank you very much.

  PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

  This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.

• New installs on Windows 8.1 and file transfer from an external drive, saved from death PC Vista machine

  Hi, my old under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) desktop PC is dead and has been replaced by a new machine Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

  I took the hard drive from my old PC and put it in an envelope and the files seem to be fine. I need advice on how to do the following things 4:

  (1) how to find and transfer of e-mail, including records and contacts (I used the e-mail program provided Vista on the old machine) on the new machine and I can't actually set up mail on the new machine to my ISP (BT Yahoo) first (I didn't click on the mail app yet).

  (2) how to find and transfer bookmarks/favorites of Chrome and the old disk to ie11 and/or Chrome structure on the new machine.

  (3) how do I transfer files (photos, music, documents, etc.) so that they are available for all users

  (4) I installed iTunes on the new PC, I want to transfer music files and album cover (I don't know how the album covers are found, and some are "home made" to cover the chronological collections of singles) from the old machine in the easiest way possible

  Thank you for all the tips and advice.

  Hi Tovoyer, I'll try to answer your questions in order.

  1. Transfer old contacts and emails in Windows Vista Mail
     • First of all, you know that Windows Vista was the latest OS to come with a desktop e-mail program.  Windows 7 and 8 do not come with any successor to the Windows Vista Mail program.  Instead, you can get it as a download in the Windows Essentials page option.  Windows 8 has a rudimentary base e-mail app, but it is designed for the Tablet/phones and the lamp.  If you want something that compares to Vista mail program, you'll want to get the free download of the essential elements in this link before you move forward.
     • After you have installed most of Windows, you can open the program (so renamed "Windows Live Mail" and add your ISP e-mail account.)  This will download depending on how your ISP provides email, all or part of your story by e-mail in the new programme, possibly negating the need to transfer anything from your old installation.
     • If you do not need to transfer your old files, navigate to the file / import Messages option in the Windows Live Mail program.  Choose "Windows Mail" in the list, and then navigate to this folder on your external hard drive attached:

       D:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
       (replace D with the drive letter for your hard disk enclosure, of course).

     • To transfer your Contacts is even easier. The Vista mail program did not contact directly, it stores everything in this folder

       D:\Users\(your username) \Contacts

       The file present in Windows 8, you can simply copy (or drag-and - drop) your contacts from the external drive on your drive of Windows 8 (C:\Users\(your name) \Contacts) and it will be flawless.

  2. Transfer of Chrome Favorites
     
     1. If you signed in using your Google account chrome, all of your favorites are stored in Google account, ready to be restored without effort.  Just to download Chrome again, go to the Tools menu and connect you and your bookmarks should appear.

        If you do not use the Google account or had the sync disabled, you can still find your bookmarks.  After installing Chrome on your new PC, find the old bookmarks on the external hard drive file here:

        D:\Users\(your Name) \appdata\local\google\chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
        (Note the bookmarks is a file, not a folder, but has no file extension).

        And put it in the same folder on your installation of Windows 8.

  3. Transfer of Documents and Photos/etc and put at the disposal of all users
  
  Simply drag - move the files in the folder "Public" user on Windows 8.  These files are shared by all users.

  C:\Users\Public (\documents \pictures, \videos \music, etc...)

• You can simply drag the folder iTunes from the old drive to the same place in the drive of new (music folder of your user account).

• Installation of DW CS5 or CS6 on new machine Windows 10

  I have seen that it is fairly simple to correct errors in an installation of CS5 or CS6 after upgrade to Windows 10. However, has anyone actually installed cs5 or cs6 on a new machine Windows 10?

  I am worried that I have may need to run out and buy a machine with Windows 8.1 installed in order to install cs5 or cs6.

  According to Adobe, cs3, 4 and 5 will also install on a machine Windows 8.1, if for some strange reason, they mention only "Photoshop" as being compatible.

  I'm afraid that if I wait and buy a new computer with Windows installed 10, my only option will be the cloud.

• Windows 7 initialization is always taking on new Machine

  Hi - I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm in the right place.  I just bought a G560 and I turned it on - answered questions from initial Setup - then he went to a Windows 7 boot screen - and it's on this screen for more than 3 hours.  (of course the machine continues to fall asleep too).  Is this normal or do I have to bring the computer back to the store I bought it from?

  Thanks for your help.

• Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

  Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

  To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

  Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

  When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

  So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

  Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

  Hello

  A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

  To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

  To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

  hope this has helped.

I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

  Yes, you can use the same key and buy a new product key (same edition). Of course, you can simply buy a retail box package in order to get the key. There is no digital distribution of the keys (if you find one, they are illegal).

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website?

  No, you buy the retail package to get the key.

  I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  You can try to use the key if you still have it and try the activation of the phone.

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
