  Hello

  strange that you can request that

  HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive

  There were a few posters with this problem here

  If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)

  You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.

  I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD

• How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

  I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

  If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

  You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

  You have two problems: hardware and software.

  Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

  The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

  If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

  More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

  If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".

• Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

  It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

  I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

  Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• New hard drive in the PC and now can not see child PC in the Family Safety website

  Recently, we had to install a new hard drive in my son's PC.  I can confirm Family Safety is on his account, to block Web sites are blocked, delays are granted, and there is curfew in place.

  But when I connect to https://familysafety.microsoft.com I see my account on the PC, but I can't see me son under kids account.  I followed all the links, help is here.  I deleted and then re-created his account, the computer is approved, and I can see Family Safety is on his account, but I still don't see the PC as part of the children's section of https://familysafety.microsoft.com.

  Rohit:

  The wiki article was not a solution - but thank you.

  The problem is finally resolved when I could access MS FS through the settings on the PC.  It has a link to MS FS in settings FS (user) who has been for several weeks.  This must have been on the side of Microsoft since after accessing this link work then all the features of the FS.

• Install the new hard drive on the Laptop Inspiron 8600

  With the help of people on this forum, I installed a Scopio 160 GB ATA - 100 Mobile Hard Drive just purchased from Dell on my Inspiron 8600 HD.  I tried to install Windows XP with the Dell reinstallation CD, this origianally came with the Inspiron 8600.  Installation starts, runs for awhile and then informs me that there is no hard drive.  I tried to reinstall the Hard Drive - the same thing.  I tried to install the Dell CD Drivers and Utilities - same thing.  Anyone have any ideas where to go from here?   The system has recognized my old HD, but in 5 or 10 minutes or the BSOD appeared.  Diagnostics Dell CD indicated that everything was ok except the HD.  I'm assuming that the HD is not installed correctly, it is the bad HD or it does not.  I appreciate the help.  No software is not supplied with the disk ATA Scorpio.

• new hard drive installed on the laptop and you want to reinstall Vista.

  Having a drive only comes with computer laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) labeled "(Drivers and Utilities déjà installés sur votre PC)." I think that it can contain windows reinstall the files but am not sure. When I insert the disk and PC startup, without the appropriate orders see the: Reinstall.

  ======================================
  Did you accidentally create a system recovery
  Your Vista computer drive?

  The drivers and Utilities disc does not include the
  Operating system.

  The following .pdf of Dell to address document States the following:

  To reinstall Windows, you need the following:
  The Dell operating system disk
  Dell drivers and Utilities disc

  Installation guide for the Inspiron

  Best bet would be to check with Dell Support and see
  If it is possible to get a Vista installation disc. Or maybe
  a system recovery disk.

  In addition, a retail purchase may be the answer.

• new hard drive with the new computer

  I'm going on a trip and bought a macbook air which I think I installed LR on.  Now, I want to bring a new hard drive on the trip and I would like to first of all a new catalog on a new hard drive.  How to create a new catalog on a mac formatted hard drive?

  Connect your new drive hard (if external) for the Macbook Air

  Launch Lightroom and go to the menu bar and choose:

  File > new catalog

  Navigate to the new hard drive and choose a new catalog name for example MyCatalog2 or what you prefer.

  Then click 'create '.

  When the empty catalog launches, you are ready to import pictures.

• I just had a new hard drive installed (with XP), and no matter where I set the resolution, everything seems to be stretched horizontally

  I just had a new hard drive installed with XP, and no matter what I set the resolution to, everything now looks stretched horizontally.  I don't have this problem with the old hard drive containing XP

  If you did a clean installation of XP, then you must install the hardware drivers for your components. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, then download and install the latest Windows XP drivers for your model.

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
  Thank you

  Hello

  For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

  I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

  Good bye
