My gateway crashed, after using my Dell recovery disk, I can't activate my Windows

I can't activate my windows now. Is there something I can do? Just a note: I bought two of these computers and carry the product numbers.

Gateway who told me:
"I regret to inform you that we are unable to provide a service of this system, given the age of the system and because of the unavailability of parts."

Is there something I can do?

Original title: my gateway crashed, he even out recovery and I lost my recovery disc. I have a Dell and the recovery disc to install windows xp on it.

Hello
 
System which comes preinstalled with the operating system are the unique product key and it is recommended that get you in touch with the manufacturer to get the product key or a recovery disc.
Note:
You would need a gateway disk or a System Builder copy/retail copy and use the product key provided with the computer to turn on.
Explanation of SLP
Used by equipment manufacturers (OEM), SLP (Locked) preinstallation system uses the information stored in the computer's BIOS to protect each installation from casual copying. No communication by the end customer to Microsoft is necessary. At the start of the system, the operating system compares the computer BIOS to the SLP information. If it matches, no activation is required.

  • Satellite P500 - loop of reboot after using the Toshiba Recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a problem recovery SATELLITE P500. I did the recovery disks. It starts ok on the recovery disk and format the hard drive and copy the disks to the hard drive. Then, he begins installing windows and restarts.

    He then goes to a loop
    (1) marketing and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.
    (2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Second installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interrupt or shut down the computer!
    (3) Windows logo
    (4) close...
    (5) restarts and goes to 1)

    It would be great if someone could help me with this.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

    You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

    So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)

  • My conputer stops suddenly when I was using the vista recovery disk, I can't use this disk to start my computer?

    Have you changed the Boot order to make the DVD drive 1st in the Boot order if you tried to use the DVD player in your computer?

    And to boot from USB devices, you must have USB Boot active in order to boot on your motherboard and also 1st in the boot order

    Read one of these methods:

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/change-boot-order-XP-Vista/

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    In a large number of computers, by pressing F12 at startup is a way to change the boot order.

    And in these Forums, when a poster has issues with the manufacturer recovery media, the recommendation is to contact the manufacturer for the aid that the manufacturer provides this software.

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MO - can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?

    I have an A300-1 MB.
    Can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Or is it as a specific for my A300-1 MB?

    I'm like a total noob...
    Someone pls help...!

    No, you cannot use any recovery disk, you must use the recovery disc designed for this model of laptop.
    The point is that recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the OS and Toshiba drivers
    If you want to use another recovery disc then the image would be installed with no compatible drivers and this could lead to other problems

    Every new notebook from Toshiba offers a Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool. This tool can create a recovery disk

  • I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    Hello

    There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

    It depends on the old hard drive still works.

    Hello!

    That's why you used the recovery from another laptop disk and it won't work.
    I think you need the recovery disk for Equium A200 laptop.

    I n t have experience with Symantec recovery function but I can allows you to use a recovery disk Toshiba prefer. This contains all of the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can make sure that everything works after that.

    If your laptop comes with a recovery disk, contact the nearest ASP and request a new one.
    If your laptop with a recovery disk is not delivered, you can directly order a new a form Toshiba:

  • Vista crashes after using it for a few minutes and then does not start (after a few hours - it starts and again the same problem)

    I'll have this weird problem and did not find the problem. Suddenly my laptop (Lenovo Y710 - 4 GB RAM - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit) crashes after a few minutes of activity, Vista freezes. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work. If I force close to the bottom and then try to restart, it do display anything. I tried to start in safe mode, but after pressing f8 and it only beeps and still doest appear anyting on screen you. If I try to start the laptop after a few hours it starts again and minutes it freezes again. I noticed this problem for the first time when using RDP to my desktop, but it wasn't the first time I've done RDP. I have not installed new hardware or drivers. Am not able to nail the question, would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    This is no doubt hardware failure. The laptop could be overheating and/or other components could be involved. Contact Lenovo technical support or take to a competent local computer Tech do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    If you have a pretty good level of computer skills, you can test some components yourself although it is more difficult to make accurate material on a laptop computer troubleshooting.
