Lost the original system of Windows 7 on my Satellite L650
Hi all
I lost my original Windows 7 system after I installed Scientific Linux 6.
I created the space for SL6 by reducing my C drive (which, in itself, creates no problems,
I went with Windows a few weeks after the shrink works normally) and
Finally, I tried to install SL6.
SL6 installation realized I had Windows 7 and installed the bootloader "grub".
with 2 options start. But the option of W7 does not work! He said "bootmgr not found."
And Toshiba (F8 at startup) recovery option does nothing.
I think that what lay SL6 average, is the hidden Toshiba recovery partition, I am confident
that the Windows partition has not (yet!) was affected. Is there a way to recovery ONLY the
initial boot sector and hidden partition?
I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, hoping to find in them a tool to do it all.
But no, I can't make a completely new installation, which will erase all my stuff.
Does anyone know a way to do this? Thank you!
Recovery image installation does not work on the way you think it should work. You cannot use disk image installation HARD recovery (F8) more now after changing the HARD drive partitions.
One way to put your laptop to factory settings is the use of the recovery disc.
You are right. This disc using everything will be removed and laptop will be set to the original state as for the first day after the purchase.
> Is there a way to recovery ONLY the original boot sector and the hidden partition?
N ° something like this is not possible.

Hello
There is no free updates for all Windows XP operating systems.

Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.
There is no update free from XP to Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10.

EU the link below to download the ISO of Windows Vista. It's totally free.
The site is Digital River. It is 100% legitimate. It is recognized and supported by Microsoft.The link also teach you how to burn the iso file on a bootable install DVD.
Although it says Dell at the top of the page, it applies to both Dell or other than Dell.
Make sure that you select the correct version of bit.
x 86 32-bit version =
x 64 = 64-bit version.

I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?
Hello
You have certainly reduced your options
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.

I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.
And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:
"The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."
Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?
Hello

Relocation of the original system
Hi, I have a TouchSmart 600-1040uk purchased directly from the manufacturer in the Czech Republic. So far so good. Unfortunately, my roommate has installed a Czech version of Win7 on this computer without telling me and create the first recovery disks, and later, I even found this new copy of system was illegal.
So I desperately wants to recover the original system installed at the factory, as I'm not a pirate. But how? The original Image is free, but there is no HP Recovery Manager is available to perform the system recovery. Microsoft System Restore tool does not work with the recovery image (shows empty folder). British partner of HP will not send the recovery disc in Czech Republic, where I live. The manufacturer is no longer a copy of the image and does not really things HP more.
Can you help me, please?
First of all the question. Assuming that the operating system is Windows 7 or Vista, how do you know that the OS installed is illegal?
If the Czech version of install Win7 still work OK but must still destroyed, look here:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5643882_restore-recovery-partition-boot-problem.html
I know what the title says, but the instructions should also work with Windows 7.

Please, do not post your product key. That said to check the owner's manual, as your computer probably includes a "recovery partition", which you access and use to restore XP provided the factory by pressing one of the keys to fuction (F key) keyboard when you first turn on the computer.
Try the following to get started:
(1) backup important data files. Be prepared to re - install your applications.
(2) restart the computer, when the press of the dell logo displays the computer screen and hold down "ctrl" and press "F11".

I have a hp laptop and the original key of windows behind the laptop which is glued is half damaged then, how can we get that original key again?
Hi yayatisharma,
Product key Finder programs are USELESS for Vista computers preinstalled, as they find the product key of plant manufacturers, which is used for installations of mutiple during Assembly of the computer.
This key will not help you reinstall Vista!
If you communicate with HP they will post you Recovery DVD for a low price to reinstall Vista and they do NOT require a product key
Or ask the use of the recovery Partition, which must be copied to the hard drive HP
