• Wiping Hard Drive, Reinstalled with Windows 7 with upgrade disk product key error

  My computer has been acting upward, so I back up hard drive and erased the hard drive with the BACK CLEAN ALL command. I then reinstalled windows 7 from my Windows 7 Upgrade disk and restore my files on hard disk. The computer works fantastic and returned half of the memory of the hard drive. A few days later, I get a message on the screen that I have 30 days left until I can produce a product key from the original Windows installation, does not accept the upgrade product key.

  I tried the product key located on the bottom of my laptop for Windows Vista comes with the HP computer. It does not work and it gave me no disk backup for Windows Vista from HP.

  I called Microsoft and they told me to contact HP for the product key. I see on this forum that someone else has written a similar plea, because it is a plea, and HP said to contact Microsoft. In other words, Microsoft says to contact HP and HP says to contact Microsoft.

  I use Microsoft since Windows 3.2 operating systems and have bought a lot of products of them. It's my 3rd HP laptop, my wife is on her 2nd HP laptop. Well you know what? If I don't get this resolved quickly by one of your companies, and I'm not remember Microsoft, I'm through the two of you.

  I don't see where Microsoft is not being fooled off but when it's to the detriment of a loyal customer, so don't worry. HP is also responsible for this. An upgraded version of Windows 7 (to upgrade from Vista or XP) should be smart enough (and I thought it was) to remember that I had the original version and its product key should be enough. Also I don't never told me that I had to keep the old product keys, and it doesn't matter anyway because the product key is always available in my laptop HP, but it does not work.

  I'm not buying another HP without your help and actually buying an Apple Mac for my wife and my next computer if it is not resolved. I think that HP is probably as bad as Microsoft so that it will not be solved and I'm not shelling out more money for something I already own.

• Army of DOD wiping hard drives software

  Looking for a military DOD certified disk formatting hard/wiping Softeare, I see a lot of websites for it but that one is for real?

  As far as I KNOW, there is no such thing as DoD "certified" disk wiping software.  Currently, the only way to clean up the acceptable magnetic media for the DoD is degaussing--> http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/OP/docs/policy/state/107-009-005_Exhibit_B.pdf?ga=t

  Effective immediately, DSS will approve is more crushing for procedures for the disinfection or decommissioning (e.g. communication to lower the level classified information controls) IS storage devices (for example, hard drives) used for classified processing.

  I think that some more paranoid 3-letter agencies require the physical destruction of the magnetic media (for example, merge in an oven).

  If you only want in the protection of your personal data, Darik Boot and Nuke (among other things), provides several methods, including even the method of "Dod short" should be more than enough.  See, for example, http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/data/dbantest.htm

• Wiping hard drive, lost Dell Home Media, can not watch DVD

  I paid a computer tech to fix my laptop froze.   He said I had bad sectors on the hard disk.  He my data backed up and deleted from my hard drive.  It has recharged my data but my Inspiron 6400 came with a disc of reloading.  Instead, there was a picture of a disk of reloading giving a Web site to go to if things had to be reloaded.  I gave this address to him, but now wonder if he used it or not.  I can't figure out how to get Dell Media without paying for it.  I loaded the Windows Media Player 11 and InterActual player and I can't watch the DVD of one or the other.  I think that I don't have correct display drivers?  If anyone can help with this, I would really appreciate it.  All I want to do is watch DVD - nothing complicated!

  Thank you

How can I get the installation to complete a big thank you to anyone who can help Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

  1. have you recently replaced the hard drive? Do you have any other hard drive already present on the computer?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  3. what installation media you are using during the installation? Is it through DVD or USB?

  This problem normally occurs when you have a problem with the installation media you are using. You can try to have a different installation media and try to install the operating system. Also, make sure that you have not connected external devices other than the mouse keyboard and multimedia installation.

  Hope this information helps. Respond with more information so that we could help you more.

• I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

  How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

  An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

  If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

• loading html document stored on the local hard drive using the 'flash' button

  Hello! I use adobe cs 5.5 flash (action script 3), and I need to load an html document into my hard drive using the 'flash' button I tried navigateToURL (thanks kglad). Here is the code:

  quizstart_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, arithmeticlesson);

  function arithmeticlesson(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest("file:///C:/quiz/truequiz.html)", "_blank");

  }

  But I want to play my flash file to the other computer. In order to access the truequiz.html, I'll make a folder named quiz to C:\.

  How can I load this html file to other computers without creating a folder to C:\? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm new coding. Thanks in advance!

  Is there another html file that includes the swf file?  If so, it is in a different folder, then you need to adjust the path so that the swf file target html file as if it were in the same folder as the html page that incorporates.

  Are other than that, you getting any kind of error message from security to try to link to the page in this way?

  I really enjoyed my visit here.  We went in February, the coldest time of the year, and when I got my mother-in-law apologized for the cold, it was then that I was just there dripping with sweat.  Where I am now (upper NY) it is-10 degrees...  If here and there, I'd be a temperature controlled indoor environment.

• Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

  I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
  The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

  The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

  Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

  Thank you
  -J

  Hello

  Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

  In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

  Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

• Format external hard drive for "Photos"?

  Go to my library of Photos together a new external hard drive which will be connected to my iMac. Suggestions on the layout of form or something else I might want to think? I would like to change is moving with it, too.

  10.11.3 running; connects to the "OWC Mercury on the Go Pro"

  Plan to just drag my photo library on (it is huge - over 400 GB). Maybe create a new library of pictures, too, but store them all on the EXT HD.

  It must be partitioned and formatted for use on your Mac:

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. After loading disk utility, select the external hard drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side. Click the utility tab Partition or delete in the toolbar of disc. Adjustable circular diagram to set the number of partitions if you want more than one.
  3. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  4. Click on the apply button and wait for button done to activate it.

• 0xe0f00013 (new hard drive) retrieving error code

  Laptop model: HP envy 14 beats 1260se, windows 7 64 bit.

  OK, here's the story. A couple of weeks ago, I did a test drive and this error 'problem of intelligent control' came, and after spending some time on the internet, I discovered that I need to change my hard drive. I created a post as well, here is the link:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Smart-check-issue/m-p/2337229

  So now, I bought a new hard drive and the model is: 750Go momentus XT (link:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-750GB-Momentus-Serial-Hybrid/dp/B0068QO82G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=13... )

  I replaced my HD and so my recovery disks to reinstall windows and basically copy all the original files in the new HD. However, at the end of the restore process (7 discs), I received this error: "Recovery Manager could not restore your computer by using the original image. Please contact HP support. "Error code: 0xe0f00013.

  And then after I pressed 'Finish', he went on the screen of my laptop which basically a HP logo appears and it stops right there!

  I have no idea what to do now and it becomes really annoying!

  Thank you, Aria.

  Hi Aria,

  It seems that you bought a hybrid car and this is probably what causes the error when you try to use your initial recovery disks.

  Here is another solution, you can try which should allow you to load Windows 7 on your new HARD drive.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is Here. These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• How does the predator AG3 used together the 128 GB ssd and hard drive 2 TB

  I am considering buying a predator AG3 at Costco.  It comes with a 2 TB HDD and ssd 128 b.  How the system is used both in combination?  The ssd is only for boot?  Windows will be on the SSD.  The system will know to go on the HARD disk for programs not on the SSD drive?  I have no experience using a system with two disks of a different type.

  SSD is usually used as installation of the OS and some heavy load programs (editing - audio - video)

  HARD drive is used as data storage or install programs of large size (for most games).

  System does not know where you want to install it that way, he asks during installation

  example of

  C:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

  You can tell the installer to use instead of C: on SSD HARD drive, so you will change from C to D (if your HARD drive is D: letter of the system)

  D:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ
