  Because you reinstall on the same computer, you should be able to activate directly on the Internet.

  To ensure that it is successful, do a custom clean install:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• NB300 - Windows 8 start problems

  I have recently installed windows 8 on my Toshiba NB300 and everytime I turn on the computer with the power button, the computer turns off a few seconds later.

  Only on the second attempt Windows 8 starts normally, giving me the indication of an error.
  This happens the first time I turn on my computer with the power button.

  I appreciate your help to solve the described problem behind.

  Hello

  How did you install the 8 Win?
  You've improved the Win 7 to 8 Win or you did a clean installation?

  It might be possible that some pre-installed drivers or tools are not compatible with Win 8 and therefore, there is a problem when starting.

  Hello

  According to specifications specification , you got your laptop with the preinstalled version of Win8.1.
  With other words, your laptop has been pre-installed with original recovery image designed for this model of laptop. Preinstalled recovery image should not be enabled.

  Recovery image is also saved on the HARD drive and it is possible for you to create bootable recovery media (backup recovery) that you can use for the installation of original recovery image.
  > I'll reinstall my windows 8.1 which came preinstalled on my Toshiba laptop.
  If I understand you right you try to use your laptop with the original recovery image again. Is this good?

  I really don't know what's the problem here, but after the first start, connect your laptop to the Internet and complete the installation. Preinstalled Windows must be activated automatically.

• Windows Vista start problem, \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe.__Could not load because the app is missing or damaged.

  Does not allow me to do a restore, unable to access all the files.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

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

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  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

• Windows 7 starts problems with black screen and the cursor because of power failure

  I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OS. Start-up problems arose after the power failure (accidentally unplugged the charger, the battery was not in place) during a video call in Skype. Accessories attached to the laptop at the time were a Logitech Webcam, a dongle Bluetooth, microphone and headphones.

  When starting my laptop Asus N81VP, he'll go as far as the 'Starting Windows' logo, then I meet a black screen with a mobile cursor. I don't then right click, CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

  I tried the things:

  Start Up Repair = "cannot automatically repair."

  System Restore = no available restore points

  Windows Memory Diagnostic = at 100%, no screen of detected problems, then black with mobile cursor

  Networking Mode Safe Mode/Safe = black screen with cursor mobile

  Activate video low resolution (640 x 480) = black screen with cursor mobile

  Good known Configuration = black screen with cursor mobile list

  Start Windows normally = black screen with cursor mobile

  Please help me. I've had this laptop for less than a year, and it would break my heart to have to re - format.

  You seem to have exhausted most of the options available in such cases, except two:
  D ' log in under a different account.
  -To restore your registry files manually. See below for more details.

  On your heart that could get broken: have you considered using the imaging facility that is integrated with Windows 7? You can find it in the control panel / backup and restore. This is somewhat marginal in the feature and it can be finicky, but it saved my butt several times.

  You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
  3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
  4. Select repair when prompted.
  5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
  6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
  DIR C:\Win*
  Dir D:\Win*
  dir E:\Win*
  until you find the Windows folder.
  I'll call this "Q:" drive
  7 type these commands:
  CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
  xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
  CD RegBack
  dir
  8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
  9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
  copy software / y...
  /y copy system...
  /y copy Sam...
  (the two points are part of each order)
  10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

• Activation of Windows 8 key problem!

  Dear Microsoft and readers,

  Laptop: DELL Inspiron. Started with Windows 8, never updated to 8.1.

  Background: I have a serious problem. You see, my laptop crashed a few days ago on me. I had several have crashed in the past with this blue screen popping up, but it was something very new. The Blue Screen of Death popped up while I was watching something on the Internet, my laptop started to reboot just like the screen popped up again. Eventually he went into that mode, and I was able to restart. ... Failed. I was forced to go to a local technician, and after several attempts to try to restore backups, we decided all of this screw and install on a disk, a Windows 8 Professional installation. Have downloaded successfully, but there was a problem. I had lost my original key for Windows 8, and it keeps telling me to activate my Windows key.

  Question: Now don't get me wrong, I am against digital piracy, but I was ready to use activation keys already out there, to realize it wouldn't work. You buy a new Pack of Windows? Oh come on, 80 pounds for a key? That is absolutely ridiculous! I can't find my old key as it is erased from my laptop now, I don't think it's on the BIOS. Is it possible to recover if? I mean, I'm not sure if it is displayed correctly, but are there? I need help with this, maybe there is a way to get a new one without having to pay for it even ONCE? What do I need to contact someone, such as Microsoft? Or Dell? I could do pretty much on my Service tag using dashes, it is 76c9JV1, there may be a way to get on Dell and find it from there? Please help me here.

  Yours Sincerely,

  Miron.

  Try work around in the following article:

  Otherwise, you will have to ask DELL recovery media and use it to reinstall Windows 8 on your system to have reactivated it:

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

• Windows 8 start problem, due to an accidental installation of Windows XP on another partition

  I had Windows 8 Pro on one partition and Windows XP SP3 on another partition for some time and I could choose which start. I decided to remove Win XP and format the partition on that Win XP has been installed. I tried to do it by using formatting option Win XP CD that appears before installation; However, I accidentally installed Win XP on the same partition. The problem is that my laptop is no longer recognizes Win 8 and begins on Win XP. I was wondering if by any chance I could collect Win 8?

  Furthermore, the Win 8 partition is installed, is intact and healthy with all the files inside Windows. Also, I tried to update or reset the installation of Win 8 to help to win 8 DVD, however, it did not work; as a message appears saying that the drive is locked.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  Impatience on your part.

  Hey Amir,

  It seems that the boot loader is damaged. You need to install the earlier operating system first, and then install the latest operating system. If you do not have (for example, if you install Windows XP on a computer that is already running Windows 8), you can make your system unusable. This can happen because earlier versions of Windows do not recognize the startup files used in more recent versions of Windows and can overwrite them.

  As you have reinstalled Windows XP on a computer running Windows 8, it has destroyed the boot loader.

  Follow these steps.

• Windows XP starts problems with Satellite M30

  My M30 has operated for two years until a few days ago when he suddenly would ' t restart after running a Microsoft security update. He gave me different boot in safe mode options, normally, etc., but none of them work.

  I was told that if I use my recovery DVDs. It will clean my drive hard and with him all my files. I understand that my Windows XP software is on this DVD - I certainly don't have a disk full. It is true that I will not have the opportunity to try to repair or to cure the problem and if so will it buy an OEM Windows XP and install it separately? Or should I do something else entirely?

  Can anyone give me any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Tried set your windows to an earlier point of your 'system-recovery-point' that appears with the options-> boot in safe mode - boot in safe mode with network - etc.etc...

  It this fails, then you need to recover your entire system.

  In the first, true it s: you can't heal or repair your system with the recovery dvd, you can just reinstall your entire system and you have an operating system as the first day after you bought this machine.

  So, your only choice will be to reinstall your system to correct it, and to avoid the installation of EACH update to Microsoft because I had a lot of problems with some updates that causes my machine to do things like non-boot or some software crashes. It s better to stay informed about updates and install them just after you verified that the isn´t of update affecting your system stability or performance.

  To back up your files and recover your system, that you have to do following things:

  You said that your system is not initialized, but you need your files.
  Just take a UBCD4Win (http://www.ubcd4win.com/) from the Internet and initialize with this CD. You will have access to your files with this WindowsPE on CD and you will be able to back up your data on a USB drive or burn your stuff on the CD.
  Now, you need to start the recovery cd and let the automatic installation script do the rest. It will delete your entire hard drive and reinstall the system. After that, you can put the data saved to your hard drive.

  I hope that I might be able to help you. If you have any other questions just ask.

• Windows 8 start problem

  Hi guys.

  I am currently having a problem with my laptop that is happening for about 3-4 days. My laptop is a Lenovo G580 with Windows 8. It's another 3-4 months and it worked perfectly. But one day I started it upward and this rpoblem occurred:
  Failed to start Windows Boot management
  Audit of the media [Fail]
  EFI network 0 for IPv6 (B8-88-E3-91-96-B20 boot failed
  Audit of the media [Fail]
  EFI network failure 0 for start in IPv4 (B8-88-E3-91-96-B2)
  Lenovo Reovery starting system failed.
  After that, it shows up next:
  Default Boot Device missing or startup failed.
  Insert the recovery media and press a key
  Then select the Boot Manager to choose a new shoe
  Device or to initiate a recovery media.
  The Boot Manager appears and I chose every single on of them but it failed and he says:
  No boot device - please reboot
  And when it restarts, the same thing all going again. What should I do?

  To format your storage without any os device, you must insert original windows bootable CD/DVD. Starting the DVD room, then choose 'custom' instead of 'upgrade '. Format the partition, then reinstall your windows.

  Note: it does not really need to format the hard drive. "Inaccessible" may mean that your hard drive cable has been removed. Try to re - check hard drive (linked to the motherboard) data cable and power cable (connected with power suply)

  Windows license Type: customer KMS
  The Windows OS version: 6.1.7600.2.00010100.0.0.004
  Your copy of Windows 7 uses KMS licenses, which requires he reactivates the licence every 180 days (6 months) by connecting to the KMS host computer. The KMS host is usually hosted on the domain in your workplace where the license was issued. Reactivation can be done by authenticating to the field of work (log in) or VPN to your network.
  Otherwise, you can contact your COMPUTER administrator for assistance or consider getting a MAK key that works more like a sale at retail and no key requires no reactivation every 180 days.
