• I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

• Installation after laptop hard drive failure and replacement laptop with Mac instead of Windows

  I have a disk with two licenses for Lightroom 4.

  A license is on your Windows 7 Desktop and the other license on a laptop HP Windows

  The portable hard drive is dead.

  one) can I re install from the disc with the same serial number on a new laptop?

  (b) it was suggested to replace my laptop with a Mac laptop. Will I have problems installing on a Mac and/or Exchange catalogs with the existing Windows desktop

  (c) if I buy Lightroom 5 upgrade, can I only go to one or the other computer (laptop or desktop)?

  Thanks for any help or suggestion

  Hi RStyle1,

  Answers are below:

  (a) Yes, you can use the same disc and serial number to install on a new laptop, if you get an activation error message, you need to contact Adobe technical support.

  (b) the same serial number works on Windows and Mac.

  (c) you can always use Lightroom 4 If you upgrade to version 5, it is up to you to use both versions on machines at your disposal.

  Thank you!

  Your hard drive shows its full capacity. Currently, the missing space is not allocated. You do need a right click while in disk management, and then create a new partition.

  I have a HP laptop running windows vista.  The crashed(non-recoverable) of hard disk and I have replaced the material.  I have a valid license key of Vista code and would like to know if I can download vista and use my codekey to activate it on the original laptop which has windows vista sticker Home premium OEMAct on the back.

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  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 on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers 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

• the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop. How to create a windows cd? KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop.  How to create a windows cd?  KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  You n "t do it this way.

  You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

  If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  The process is simple:

  1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
  2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
  3. Install the new drive in the external case
  4. Connect new player to the computer
  5. Clone original disc on new drive
  6. Stop
  7. Unplug the external computer case
  8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
  9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

  When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

• HP Pavilion G6 HARD drive failed

  Hello

  First of all thank you for help out me.

  I searched the forums for how to do this, but for my situation, I can't find an answer. I'm ok with the technology, but by no means a tech guru... Here's what I've done so far:

  History:

  My sister gave me her cell phone on the weekend and said that he cannot start Windows 8. So I tried a lot of things so he can start and have failed. I tested the hard drive and it says that there are errors on this subject. I tried to use a Ubuntu Livecd to capture data off and have problems, but I'll be able to get most of it.

  Problem:

  I need to replace the hard drive and she never made the recovery discs. What is my best course of action at this point?

  1. Can I reproduce the hard drive failed on a new and hope the recovery partition intact? Restore from that?
  2. Can I install from disc OEM of Windows 8? I don't think I can...
  3. Can I get the key of Windows 8 from the BIOS somehow or I'll have to grab something like belarc to and hope that I can enter the key of the HDD failure?

  Any other suggestions on how to do it? I rather just use an OEM drive with his key and install from scratch, but I need the key and I don't know if it will work?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2. If the laptop is originally shipped with Windows 8, the activation key is stored in the Bios Chip and is read automatically during installation, so you could create your own OEM of Windows 8 install disc.

  For more information on how to proceed, see the post by Hüffer 3rd on the following link - Note: there is a cap of this Image file download you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/need-product-key/m-p/2592099/highlight/false#M96668

  With regard to creation of installation media for this file, here are some options.

  If you want to create an installation disc, use an application like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings)- hereis a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc.

• Hard drive failed and I lost my product key?

  Hi guys,.
  
  So my friends hard drive failed and unfortunetly he lost everything.
  
  I replaced the broken hard drive for him and reinstalled Windows 10. However when I went to check if the OS has been activated, it showed as not been activated? I thought the machines after that Windows 8 had their licance saved in the BIOS, so we do not have this problem?
  
  Also there is no sticker on the back or under the battery that contains the product key for Windows.
  
  I also talked to Microsoft, but they were uable to help.
  
  Any help is appreciated!
  
  Thank you.

  It's a HP Pavilion 15-p264na. It came with Windows preinstalled as an OEM licance Home 8.1. It was then upgraded to Windows 10 at a later date using the free update successfully.

  Then the second option mentioned above. Didn't it actually triggered successfully after 10 win upgraded?

  If so, you should be able to activate just fine without problems, IF you use the same edition of Windows. You write it housed 8.1 - you now install Win 10 Home? You mentioned 10 Pro down...

  So I guess I'll with your third option and using the recovery media?
  
  I have 2 HP drives here for Windows 10 Pro for two different HP devices. I think these are the recovery CD, it says that they cotain the client software, if that is correct? Can I use these discs Pro on a BONE at home? Or that I'd be better by following the links you provided?

  Laughing out loud. I'm sorry. I am afraid that you cannot mix just DVD / CD / etc - they are for a specific model for the specific version of Win / edition. You cannot use a recovery media for HP computer to another - it will simply not work 99% of the time. You cannot mix editions of Windows (the House is for Home, Pro goes to Pro).  You want the recovery media for this unit, you need to follow the links.

  However, IF you have enabled the upgrade of Windows 10 post fine, you can simply download Win 10 ISO from here:

  > > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

  Download the tool, it will download an ISO and burn it to a DVD or write on a USB key. Follow the on-screen instructions, skip entered the key and move on. After installation, Windows 10 HOME should activate fine using digital entitlement if 8.1 Home Win allowed initially.

  I would like to know how this goes for you.
