• Vista key after replacing motherboard

• Impossible to reactivate XP Pro OEM after replaced motherboard

  As the title says, I'm unable to reactivate a copy of XP Pro (OEM) after replacing a dead motherboard. I did have problems in the past when replacing hard drives.  I reinstalled the operating system three times in the last 24 hours, does not. OEM drives are SP2.  Download and install SP3 and IE8.

  I wonder not to enter the product key on installation/set upwards (although I seem to think that I was the first time and ignored). There is no option to validate through start programs etc because there is no such thing as the "Activate windows" option.  The validation simply said the key online tool is not valid and directs me to a page to buy Windows 7. I tried the phone... free license key number by selecting personal user... but after the long string of numbers, the 'voice' says that the key is not valid. [I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in the part of this page Web where it says change key if the instructions (or words to that effect)... the key already indicated in the boxes is not the same as the one I have.] Is it because it's what they would say to change it too or what MS thinks that my key is already?]. The options trying to activate via the warning in the system tray do not help either.

  I think at present to remove the hard drive, which is the one that came with the pc and already partitioned if not used (I replaced it with a larger immediately after you have configured the pc), delete partitions and reformat before you try to reinstall and activate again... but I was wondering if it is simpler and less time-consuming option.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Update (a few hours after the original post): I read a few topics where it is explained how to talk to an operator.  I'll try later today that before anything else.  However, all the other advice always welcome.

  Replacing the motherboard outside the warranty terms invalidates an OEM license.

  You will need to purchase a new license for Windows - and it will take a full commercial license.

• Windows Vista says not genuine after replaced motherboard

  I had to replace my motherboard recently, and now Windows Vista said that it not a copy not genuine (although it is). How can I sort this?

• Vista reinstall after replacing hardrive

  2 years ago bought a Dell computer. My hardrive needs replaced according to my tech. The problem is that I have no backup discs sent with the computer. Dell wants to charge $ 80 to talk to me. Microsoft wants to pay 49.00. Are there solutions?

  Dell provides support for your computer, NOT from Microsoft.

  How to get Vista recovery Media.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DellCare/contact_us?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&redirect=1

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• No keyboard or the drivers after replacing motherboard - Windows 7 Pro 64

  Hi all

  I recently had to replace my motherboard - Gigabyte 990xa-ud3 and now there's no keyboard or the drivers once Windows loads.  Work fine in the bios.  I have 2 different keyboards to make sure that it wasn't the device and both have the same problem.  They appear to be the "other devices" in Device Manager, tried to update the drivers and uninstall them, and then search for the hardware changes.  I have also used the troubleshooting of Microsoft software "Fix - it" and still get the message «no driver» found  Run the sfc/scannow, attempt to repair the system using the installation disc.  Startup Repair returns not found or bad.

  According to gigabyte, it is a known, issue because the replacement mobo is a slightly different version than the original, which causes Windows to have this problem to prevent the movement of a hard drive to different machines.  Something about address and register when the OS has been installed using the old mobo.  This is an area I have little experience in, and now am not able to pay for the information on how to solve the problem.

  System information:

  Core of AMD 8120-8

  16 GB of ram

  Windows 7 pro oem

  Anyone had this issue and be able to fix it without making a complete new installation?

  Thank you

• Unable to activate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard.

  Original title: Windows 7 will not turn on after replacing motherboard

  I had one laptop I had for 5 years. It came with windows vista installed on it.  About 4 months ago, I bought windows 7 Home premium allowed for Latin America and the Caribbean. I installed it on the laptop and it worked fine. Then about 2 months ago the motherboard on laptop computer exploded and I bought a new laptop provided with windows 7 pre-installed.

  I want to do a clean format of this new laptop with my windows 7 CD. I have a license key I had with the CD which, according to the trend above is not valid and I will not be able to activate windows (even though I own the copy) I have also another key, I had with the laptop.

  My question is if I use the installation CD I bought and used the activation key, that I got with my laptop that I'd be able to activate it?

  What if they are of the same edition would you be able to use the product at the bottom of the laptop key.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

  I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

  You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard- that's why you could not reinstall Windows Vista on the new motherboard, because his attached to the motherboard that initially provided with HP and Vista recovery disk system are supposed to work only with him.

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• Can I do a system restore after replacing a motherboard on my laptop?

  I just had my motherboard replaced on my Dell laptop. Just before that, I (unconsciously) to delete my user account 'dan' by changing my computer name and the domain, but not a not restart after the replacement of the motherboard. So, after installing the new motherboard, 'poof' no «dan» user profile I logged as administrator. All my User\dan data, including Outlook data is always available, but how do I get my dan user account without having to start over? That is to say. I can do a system restore to before the replacement motherboard without problem?

  Hi DannyRS,

  Because you are replacing hardware on your computer, you will need to reinstall the operating system. Make sure that you all have a complete backup of your important data before you make these changes.

• Motherboard model H535 failure - the type of machine and the serial number invalid after replacement

  Does anyone know how to set the new Type of Machine and the serial number after a motherboard for a replacement model H535?

  The motherboard has recently failed on my model H535 (7 months after the expiration of the warranty - thanks, Lenovo). No local garage would agree to replace due to its nature of owners (thanks, Lenovo). I spent about four hours on the phone being bounced into back-and-forth between the many support staff (usually combined) Lenovo in sales, technical support, support of parts of IBM and various other departments (thanks, Lenovo), which one has suggested that I might have to try to find a motherboard on Ebay or Amazon for my computer in less-than-2-year-old. However, I finally get to someone at Lenovo, which has been able to sell a motherboard - for 2/3 of the cost of the original computer.

  Now, I installed the motherboard, and it works. However, during each boot, I get a POST with two beeps error which reads as follows:

  00CE error: Machine Type and serial number is INVALID

  Start of manufacturing sequence is taken if no selection is made

  I presume that the BIOS on the new motherboard must be programmed with the right Type of Machine and the serial number of my computer. I've read various things on the Internet about what to do, as updating the BIOS (I can not even find a BIOS under "downloads" of support for the H535 - thanks, Lenovo model), using WinPhlash (I apparently need one kind of BIOS ROM file to make it work, I don't have), getting a Lenovo hardware maintenance disk for my model (which apparently isn't available for other special people only me - thanks Lenovo), etc.

  The waiting time for Lenovo support are ridiculously long, and almost every customer support person is ridiculously uninformed on the difference between one of their computer models, and even less their motherboards (thanks, Lenovo). I am amazed and extremely frustrated. It shouldn't be rocket science.

  On a side note, I initially bought the computer from Staples with a credit card with extended warranty protection, which means I can get a refund for repair. Although the motherboard came with a packing list, no Bill has been provided by Lenovo, and I couldn't make them send one - or maybe even with success to explain what a Bill is (thanks, Lenovo).

  Well, Lenovo support was useless, and any alleged authorized suppliers were in fact still suppliers or could help with my problem. But I was finally able to fix it myself. Once I found the right piece of software, it has been fixed in less than a minute.

  My BIOS is by American Megatrends, and I discovered that they have a set of utilities that includes a called AMIDEDOS. It is intended for manufacturers to be able to change the strings of text stored in the BIOS for things like the manufacturer, product name, Version, number series, UUID, SKU number, family, etc., that is what I had to do. It is not intended for use by consumers, but it's there.

  When I ran the "DMIEdit.exe" program AMIDEDOS (clicked and ran as administrator from 10 Windows) and click on "System information" from the list, I saw "Product Name | STRING | Invalid' and ' serial number | STRING | NOT VALID ". The other fields appeared to have valid entries. I double-clicked on the fields valid and changed their "H535 model" and the serial number of my computer, respectively and then clicked on "Update all" at the top.

  Much to my surprise, he reported that he had successfully registered the new information. And, perhaps even more surprising is the fact that, when I rebooted, the double beep and the warning about the type of computer not valid and serial number have disappeared. In addition, the BIOS showed I had entered the new values, and the 'Manufacturing Boot Sequence' option (I understand can be much slower than a normal boot) had disappeared.

  Again, I'm a little surprised simple it was actually solve the problem once I got the correct software, or Lenovo part nor American Megatrends apparently offers to the owners, and it took hours and hours of research and research to understand. Use this information at your own risk, however, as playing with BIOS apparently can lead to problems not easily solved. That said, the modification of these text strings seems relatively safe.

  I will mention that I also ended up changing the method of "LEGACY" to "UEFI" boot in the BIOS after noticing that the selection.
