• Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

  Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

  I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

  1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

  2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

  3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

  I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE

  OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.

• Cannot complete the reinstallation of Vista on Compaq laptop using the Compaq recovery disks. Tried to restore disk oem and new close to identical road. Errors: 0xc00000e9 and 0xc0000189 respectively

  With no unusual occurrence that accompanies it, our laptop was able to start and would not initialize anything beyond a screen B & W style BACK and gave the first error (0xc0000e9) on this screen. After several unsuccessful reboots insert us the Compaq recovery disks and crossed the recovery (only full optional with such discs.) At the end of the transfer of recovery (from DVD on computer), the computer tried to restart and reported the same error message. We have seen anything past the transfer of files and B & W on the oem disk. I think the oem HD is bad. Web-surfing suggested the error was associated with a hardware failure and the DVD drive seems to work very well I bought a new HD almost identical to replace the oem version with. Both are Seagate Momentus 160 GB at 5400 RPM drives.

  I re-inserted the recovery with the new installed hard drive disks and it loaded and seemed basically completely install Windows (computer is restored running several times and showed the Windows desktop with sequential programs etc. facilities.)

  To restart the final success, I received an error message in the sense of "windows could not install: Please restart the installation process" and the 0xc000189 error code. I tried again and the result was identical, including the error message. In the process the emblazoned shortcut labeled sunflower administrator with "locked" below briefly appears before the above error appears above him. Navigation on the Web seems to suggest I've hit some kind of security problem that appears when an oem auto-installer is used. He was never a password of any kind on the laptop of our family, if there is one, it should be of Compaq.

  It's an authentic (not stolen etc) oem new install of Windows (the laptop is only 18 months old) and I CD code on the computer but not the case in the installation me I asked for it. I don't know what you looking for installation.

  I'm very confused and any help would be appreciated. Compaq is saying it's a matter of Windows of course.

  Thank you

  Problem with the recovery process, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

• Windows still ask for activation after that laptop was RMA would be

  My laptop has been recently would be RMA and they replaced the motherboard, keyboard and VGA card. Shortly after receiving this return, Windows began to ask for an activation code. Unfortunately, I didn't write mine down, and the sticker is now faded and illegible. I sent my new laptop because that's what the OEM has asked that I do and they replaced my HARD drive and installed Vista fresh. It does not solve the problem at all.

  Without my original activation code, I don't think I can reactivate Windows. Is there anyway to recover my product key or how to contact Microsoft to get a new one? Because it seems that through my OEM drives me nowhere as they want me to RMA again.

  If your Vista operating system was running, and enabled, we could have helped you recover your product key.
  Unfortunately, this does not apply.

  I'm sorry, but we cannot help you, you don't have a legible label on your laptop...

  It is the responsibility of the OEM to support you.

  See you soon.

• Lost my files on the C drive after restoring my computer mini Asus laptop (Windows XP)

  I lost all my data and files on the C drive (not only the files in the folder my documents, but also other files and folders on drive C, which were not necessarily on the folder My Documents) of my Asus min-laptop (Windows XP) after the restoration of the factory. What should I do to recover my files?

  Hello

  If you have reinstalled the computer using the default value of the plant. Then its likely that the files were copied to the sense that they are not recoverable. Here's a guide on the way in which the files are stored and how you 'can' be able to recover anything.

• Can I use a product key from my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium OA on the newly installed window.

  I want to restart my laptop. I have a copy of windows 7 Home premium since I bought it for my office of game. If I use the CD to install a new window on my laptop. I am able to use my laptop Windows 7 product key to this topic?

  If its licensed OEM System Builder that was never used, Yes. If his license OEM from another computer, no.

  As mentioned, the laptop must already include factory restore options that may allow you to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• This computer is not running windows genuine, even if his OEM installed OS and I recently changed my dying HDD

  I've recently updated my old WD Scorpio Blue HDD(640GB) format tip of Hitachi 1 TB 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  When I entered the serial number at the back of the laptop, it has not be activated and so I opted for the path of phone activation. (this was happening before too and I used to activate the phone, but never I had windows is not an authentic message).

  Windows has been activated successfully, and then, suddenly, after two days, I get a message "this computer is not running genuine windows.

  It's strange, because I formatted and reinstalled so many times before in the past on the old HDD.

  As far as I know, the serial number is related to the motherboard of the system and not the HARD drive right?  So I don't get as to why is - that say windows is not genuine. The features of Windows Update is disabled for me...

  Details of the laptop:

  Acer Aspire 5740 G, intel i5, 4 GB RAM.

  Installed antivirus: Avast Internet security (under license).

  Is could someone please help me solve this problem? I really need your help...

• Restore recovery OEM

  Ok

  So has this X202e Asus with Windows 8. Decided I want to install Windows 10 Tech Preview, but don't want to lose my original OEM recovery. What I just did to format the partition to the OS and leave all other partitions (recovery, system, etc.).

  The problem is, I have problems of network with Windows 10 and my shift keys not working, which had no problem in Windows 8.

  So want to restore to the OEM, I started the Asus and you press F9, Advanced, Reset - received the message saying that the recovery partition is missing.

  Installed EaseUS Partition manager, checked the recovery and another default partition is still there but not active. Google all day! Many messages found on EaseUS usage and management of normal discs shrink and create and merge all kinds of partitions etc. and reagentc.exe but all without success.

  Can anyone please tell me or help me find a way to recover my Asus. No, I don't have recovery discs and cannot order them. Also no Windows installation media.

  Mention that, would it work if I just reinstalled with a friends Windows 8? Which means he reads the license out of the BIOS code?

  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

  Kind regards

  Fred

  You must create a USB Bootable Windows 8.1 for a UEFI BIOS, as shown here:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  The main problem you'll have is to determine your edition. The correct edition will accept your key and brings you to the screen of the license agreement. Bad editing will ask you your product key. You may need to do a bit of trial and error to get the correct edition.

  Your old recovery partition doesn't help, then you might as well delete all old partitions on the disk.

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 8 (without the DELL OEM software)?

  Hi people,

  I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I want to install an aftermarket SSD and do a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD without all the stuff extra DELL piles on the computer in their factory. However, the laptop does not come with any media of Windows 8. My other options (copy windows divide in the SSD or use Windows backup and restore), both result in installing Windows 8 with a lot of software DELL.

  DELL said that they do not have the installation of Windows 8 media and I need to contact Microsoft to get it. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I'm happy to pay a nominal fee for the discs, but having already an OEM of Windows 8 installation, I want to avoid going to the shops and buy a new license.

  Any ideas are much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Unfortunately, your only option is to create a disk backup and restore using recovery tools provided by Dell and use it to reinstall Windows 8. This is especially true because you run Windows 8, which are not available elsewhere.

  or

  SSD of cloning:

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See

  http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-HDD-to-SSD-with-Windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a copy of the trial of Acronis True Image Home.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

• Default configuration of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer

  Hi, I just refreshed my laptop that I got a few drops FPS at random. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while before instaled Norton started to cause me problems. At this time I uninstalled it and when he asked me to computer restatr now, I did. Now I'm stuck with this message window loading. Restart the computer from time to time, but the message is always the same: failure of configuration of Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.
  Computer: hp pavilion n006sm
  Operating system: win 8 pre-installed
  At the moment I'm stuck on this window for over an hour and nothing has changed

  Seems that problem solved by itself. As I correctly uninstalled Norton, I just put my automatic updates and restarted my laptop again. He installed the updates with no problem and its working fine. Seems that Norton was really the problem, will keep you informed.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 - Windows XP backup restore

  Hey there.

  I currently own Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 8. Windows XP Professional SP3
  I read your newsletter support and accordingly, I can see that you recommend backup of files and etc... through the integrated Windows XP Backup utility.

  1. you say that this tool backup software applications, but some sites record it as he does.

  2. If I want to make a backup of Windows XP, and it includes a driver not compatible with Windows 7, made restore this backup throughtout the tool in
  Windows 7 Windows 7 cause to malfunction or cause errors or etc...?

  Concerning

  Hello

  To be honest, your ad is a little hard to understand and I don t know what you mean exactly.

  The built-in backup tool of XP can save all the directories you want if you choose advanced options. But this tool isn't so comfortable; You can access the data on a running system. More comfortable are Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image in my opinion.

  You can upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. That's why you need to do a clean install and therefore you don't need a backup.
  Just copy your important files like photos, music, etc. on an external HARD drive. All that s! After installing Windows 7, you can copy on the laptop.
