legal hard drive OS

I recently got a computer that was crushed, a friend of mine she would throw away.but really wanted to be able to retrieve the data off of it so I removed the hard drive and put it in one of my computers to retrieve its data from it. After that I'm inside, I discovered that it's a better record (more memory so that some software programs that are on it are better than the current one, I am using. I was wondering if I install this because my main hard drive in my computer online is the windows XP OS legal because I have no event this hard drive

You cannot transfer an OEM operating system, provided with this PC to a new PC
The license dies with the old PC and is probably locked to the origonal material

You can transfer a to another PC retail version if you have the retail version disk and key, and in doing so, you will need to run a repair on the new PC installation to install the proper drivers

  • If I remove the permission to add back apps stored on external hard drive?

    I'm selling my Mac. To help the sale, I wish I could say that it includes the iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) applications that I bought when new and Aperture 3.  I ask because I don't mean a buyer they will have access to these applications, if this isn't the case. I live in a country where it is expected that when you buy a used computer, it will come with the applications already installed. These 'options', even if they won't use, contribute to the resale value.

    I backed up everything to an external hard drive for x - fer to my next computer, including the applications mentioned. If I scratch out / reformat the hard drive and then the new owner create their own Apple to download Yosemite or El Capitan ID (I'm in Mavericks now) I was able to connect my external drive for Mac, and then copy the apps on his Applications folder so that he would be able to use? I care is no longer using opening myself, having switched to Lightroom and I know that if it is possible these applications would no longer under my ID and that he would not be able to upgrade, but since I've paid for them, I would be able to transmit with the Mac without having to use my Apple ID of the to do.

    Unless you have records of installation for these applications, you can not legally include.

    This applies also to any OS you downloaded from the app store.

    In all cases, licenses for the operating system and applications downloaded on the app store are valid only for the Apple ID used to obtain them, and they are not transferable. If you leave these applications or the operating system, the buyer will not be able to update or reinstall the OS without your ID Apple and your password.

    Thus, you will need to completely erase the hard drive and you can then reinstall the original OS, the computer came with.

  • Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

    I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

    With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

    Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

    There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

    If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

    Thank you

    > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
    In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
    Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

    Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
    Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

  • HP rigged rules so won't respect its commitments, has no contract of service on 2 hard drives

    After 1 hour on phone, level 1 confirmed the message in the BIOS ' disk hard imminent failure "actually meant what he said and had this motherboard needs to be replaced. After 1/2 hour more level 2 certified HD warranty replacement, refused the motherboard. They signed me for an extension of one year warranty with home service for $129.99.

    Quickly sent replacement. Taken to professional it is Geek Squad that tried 3 times to clone the old drive again before the former has failed. Then they tried a clean install from the recovery disks provided by HP and after failed it in these attempts, tried to install Win7 clean. Had this 'new' message (refurb) 1 TB SATA would fail imminent, could not install OS. Gave me some documents. I called HP, waited in line 1 1/2 hours Saturday to report the problem to HP, abandoned and bought new, better HD, had installed and HP recovery/installed operating system - $180. Back-ups and system image I did with Toshiba Canvio impossible to install Windows and Norton, if old hard drive must have messed up the back-ups.

    Called HP for permission to return the replacement HD, but also original failed HD has DENIED! Said they must run a diagnosis by phone, do not accept the documentation of Geek Squad. I offered to send back to them at my own expense while they could confirm that it was defective. Said no, couldn't accept it back until the diagnosis ran (he was sitting on my desk!). I asked if ok to mechanically destroy the data on the old HD to protect my privacy. They said no, they will work revised at HP to confirm it was defective. So I said, let me send you the replacement for HP can confirm that it is defective. They said not until the phone confirmed diagnosis it was defective. So, I asked that I use my warranty in home service on this NEW problem. They said wouldn't not allow as not in effect until Nov 9. I said, I'll call Nov 9, and request the service. They said that it is only determined telephone assistance that it worked. So I said, the extended warranty. They said no, he started immediately after purchase. I said fine, send someone to the House. Catch-22.

    So, here is the best plan I can get to: 1) I'll send my drive down back home so that I will not be charged for replacement under warranty, 2) I will send the replacement drive to Meg Whitman, CEO of HP, memory of my experience with HP customer care, 3) {deleted content: legal discussion} and 4) will be posting my experience on each consumer and social media Web site (, I can find and 5) ask my credit card company to prohibit fees for the service contract.

  • HARD drive replacement, how to install Win7 on my Satellite L850?

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Satellite L850 lappy and I want to replace the 750 GB HDD with a SSD 256 GB.
    This laptop never came with a windows 7 cd or its driver cd (not too worried about it as I can find it online).

    I wonder how to install windows 7 on this ssd? Download windows 7 image from a Web site (found this [http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct-download-links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/]) and just enter my product key when you are prompted as a whole to the top?

    I'm quite new to these new methods as my last toshiba laptop came with everything that I needed.
    Thanks for your time

    If your upgrade or replacement of HARD drive will be a success, you must install a clean version of the OS. How you will get is actually your problem, but it turns out that you must use the legal version and activate it using the legal product key.

    All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    We can help you with the installation and the right installation order.

  • Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!

    Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me.  Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me.  This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?

    What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore.  Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.

    Hello:

    Yes... It works fine for me.

  • L50-B-11J satellite does not recognize the HARD drive connected by USB 3.0

    Hello

    I recently bought a new laptop and install a new legal copy of windows pro 8.1.

    The problem that arises is actually a USB 3.0 port.
    Also, I have a drive external hard support standard USB 2.0 and 3.0.

    When I plug-in the hard drive into a USB 2.0 or any USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is disabled in the BIOS) fine, hard drive is recognized and I can access.

    But, when I plug-in the hard disk into a USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is active in the BIOS) Windows does not recognize it and I can't access it.

    The hard disk led flashes, so it has the power, but does not appear in the devices or Device Manager.
    My opinion is that the problem may be with the drivers for USB, but Toshiba is supported for driver for USB 3.0 for Windows 8.1.

    Then can someone suggest me what to do?

    Laptop: Satellite L50-B-11J
    USB ports: 1xUSB 2.0 port, 2xUSB 3.0 port
    Operating system: Windows Pro 8.1
    USB 3.0 driver: Intel (r) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Control - 0100 (Microsoft)
    External hard drive: support USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard

    Intel USB 3.0 driver is part of the 8.1 Windows System... This is not supplied by Toshiba.

    Windows 7 contains no such USB 3.0 driver and so you can download driver Intel USB 3.0 page of the Toshiba driver as well as the Intel download site.

    By the way: try to disable the functionality of sleep & Charge and check how the HARD drive would work.

  • Bad sectors on the hard drive

    My neighbor's daughter brought me his cell phone more, g6-1d20ca model. It does not start. There is a loop on the text of recovery. I ran my "CD Boot" (Hiren s) on this topic and saw that the hard drive was littered with bad sectors. The HD is obviously toast. My Question: Is - this acceptable once I replaced the HD to load my version of Win 7 64 bit on his cell phone, but the use of its Windows product key? The part of the recovery of the HD is inaccessible. It's never the disks when she bought the laptop. I then download the drivers and others on the HP website. Is this legally possible?

    Forward to your response.

    Yes, as long as your version corresponds to its key. Like Home Premium.

    You can order a recovery media for about $17 (I ordered last time) of his models support page:

  • New hard drive. Do I need windows disk?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and recently the hard drive has failed...

    It was running windows 7 home basic 64-bit and did not come with recovery disks.

    im going to buy a new hard drive to replace soon and I was wondering what discs do I have to get my system running again?

    A member of the family has the same exact computer and I made a recovery disk of the Panel out of it. can I use this disc to install windows or anything? I don't really want to buy hp disc because I don't want any additional programs but if I wrong choose on a windows disk $7,100.

    Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

    You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...

  • HP laptop - 15-g227wm: Hard Drive question, in need of a solution

    First of all, I don't know if the version of Windows running was of 32-bit or 64-bit.

    The laptop in question is my mother and randomly, he started to become unresponsive in the middle of the night.  She had not dropped it and only uses the laptop to surf the internet and play some Facebook games.

    I went to the start menu and asked the laptop to run diagnostic systems.  In two minutes, he told me that the disk check hard short DST was not, by giving the code 9SNJ3G-7MP84W-XD7WL1 - T 60, 703.

    As it is a hard drive problem, I hope that, at the very least, it will take replace the hard drive, if not buy another laptop.

    The problem is the following; the laptop was purchased at a Wal-Mart.  It was the display model they had, as it was the last one in stock, and Wal-Mart could not locate the box for the laptop at the time of purchase.  We have no user manual and no CD to reinstall Windows (the laptop had 8.1 the purchase, and we took advantage of the free for 10 update when it was available).

    Please let us know our best options.  Thank you for your time.

    Hello:

    While I can't tell you precisely what that code means, yes the the bottom line is the hard drive has suffered an accident and needs to be replaced.

    Initially, the PC came with 64-bit W8.1.  HP does not support this model for 32-bit operating systems.

    Here is the service manual for this model.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04886216

    Removing and replacing the drive hard in this model is a daunting task, but if you are up to it, see Chapter 6 for R & R procedures.

    If the laptop is still under warranty, you can get HP to replace the drive under warranty.

    If this isn't the case, you're on your own.

    You can order W8.1 recovery media for the laptop computer from the link below, or clean reinstall 10 64-bit windows on the new drive from the link below it (media creation tool).  You can clean install W10 for free, without a product key, given that the laptop was already legally upgraded to W10.

  • I can restore a hard drive as a new

    is it possible to restored a disc hard as if it was out of the box (I read that you can install an os over a lifetime of hard drive)

    Hey Danny,

    What you read was not quite correct (and completely wrong if he says what you say it says).

    Assuming you have always the correct drivers and software product keys (if any), I can't imagine a situation where you cannot restore a HARD drive as if it was out of the box (except possibly need to use your product key personal rather than used by the manufacturer, when they made initial installation If you use an installation disk of geniune they provided {with a separate special disc drivers and additional software} rather than special discs supplied by the manufacturer to restore the conditions in factory or these disks you created a restore on the computer partition, or by using the restore partition directly where your unique product key is often but not always is usually not necessary).

    Considers Moreover, under the rules that you've read them, the computer could ever be updated to a new Service Pack, and even less from XP to Vista to W7 to W8 - or other (with restrictions based on how it's done, legally, regarding the upgrade paths and assuming that there is the appropriate drivers for the HARD disk under the new operating system).  It could not be changed from Windows to Linux.  Could not be partitioned to dual boot or startup sort even in different operating systems (which would make this feature a little stupid to have if the HARD drive could have only a single OS on it).

    And to go even further, if it really says what you wrote, you wouldn't even be able to re - install the OS at all since the resettlement would be more than one installation on the HARD drive so if your software system crashed or it became necessary to re - install the system, you will need to buy a new HARD drive to do and this is simply not the case.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • HP G72-B53NR: replacement internal hard drive used

    OK, so my laptop been gave me my best friend 3 years. I don't know exactly on the side '' Hunt of water-with-cash '' society (which means that my funds are not enough to buy anything). Very recently, my laptop has been slow and slow. After a particularly odd mistake involving my laptop power led is lit when it is off, and turning issues, I managed to solve the problem with what felt like luck silent. (I took apart and cleaned the circuit and temporarily disconnected a few things, including this small battery {on the advice of a website} thing) But since he works back, the slowness problem persists and become even worse (to the point where it takes forever to do anything) and despite my best efforts (and apparently Google as search engine :/) I couldn't speed it up. I entered the thing of the boot parameters by pressing ESC and F10 (I think) and has conducted an audit of HARD drive. The long and short, I think. I received an error message: hard drive 1 305 complete (or perhaps 303, it's been a while). I Googled that and said the error means that the HARD drive has failed.

    So, I managed to acquire a compatible HDD for my laptop. The only thing is, he used (Seagate 500 GB 5400 RPM). I swapped it with mine (WD Scorpio Blue 320 GB 5400 RPM) and found a lot of nonsense, that I especially managed to remove. I had to download some internal things missing, such as a drive for letting me use the internet. But despite all this, the used HARD disk feels 'off' and there are some issues that do not seem to solve. That is on the system information screen, it lists the computer model (HP Pavilion dv6) precedent and said that my side needs to be updated. He failed in this attempt. I also can't seem to complete the configuration of a service pack update. (During the "service pack configuration", he partially stops and says "failed to Setup service pack reverting of changes") I ran to check the HARD drive for this one and I do not receive an error. I can't find solutions for these issues online. I think that the problem is caused by the fact that the HARD disc is always set to the original computer, in addition to having a different copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. I would like to remove Windows 7 from this HARD drive and replace it with the factory my laptop OS HDD failure. I saved everything I want personal folders from my old HDD, so I'm not worried about it. I want to know also what else could I do to format the replacement used to correctly set up for synchronization (best word I could come up with at the time) with my laptop.

    If there is anything that I need to provide but missed or left I will on request.

    Microsoft has pulled all the .iso Windows 7 images he used to host m6mobile.fr from the web. They also asked us not to post a link to downloads so I can't do it for you. But an ingenious thrifty person who understands where downloads will surely be able to find someone hosting the old pictures .iso 'somewhere' on the internet. To help you as much as I'm allowed to do, is the official name of the download for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM:

    X 17 - 58997.iso

    You can burn the .iso to a DVD and use it to install legally on your laptop by using the product key on the sticker on the laptop, or maybe inside the battery bay. You can get the drivers from this site.
