• HP Recovery Kit will re - install Vista if hard drive has been replaced?

  Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope that I understand.

  I bought a HP Pavilion s3050uk of second hand compact office, product number RY930AA.

  The only OS on it is a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate, little time to expire.  I knew when I bought but I was just able to reinstall Vista Home Premium using the HP Recovery Kit and the number of product key from the COA on the PC sticker.

  However, I think now that the HARD drive has been replaced at some point - my machine has a 200 GB (Seagate ST3200822AS ATA) and I think that these machines haven't shipped with a 250 GB?  Now, I'm worried that I will pass on the recovery kit but it won't reinstall Vista because the hardware has been changed.  If it is probably the case of others has experience then I may as well save my money (which is very tight at the moment, where the 2nd hand PC) and put it toward the purchase of an operating system package full.

  Hope someone is able to advise me.

  Thank you

  Stephen

• Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

  Hello
  I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
  Problem still exist.
  The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
  because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
  Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

  I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
  The problem still exists.

  The other post:

  Another interesting fact:
  After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
  for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
  I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

  The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

  INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

  UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

  Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

  Select Services

  Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

  Stop Windows Update

  In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

  Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

  Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

  Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

  I hope this helps!

  And you cannot use from recovery disks of a different brand or model (laptop) to reinstall Vista on your Tower / Desktop

• My hard drive has been replaced. I want to restore a backup made on an external drive, using Windows backup software.

  I get to the step "to install the management of removable storage on Windows Server 2008

  1. Click Control Panel and then click on Administrative Tools.
  2. Open Server Manager, navigate to the features summary section and click add features.

  It is the section on the recovery of an old version of Windows.  My situation is all on Windows Vista.  Maybe I shouldn't use these intstructions.

  When I get to this step I can't find Server Manager.  I opened everthing under admin tools, and there is nothing that looks like this.

  If I go to this issue the wrong way, what should I do next?  The system has recognized my hard drive on Windows Explorer, but when I said retrieve the backup, it says that there is no backup file.

• vCAC 6.0 selected clone - model Action Plan has been updated, now, it does not appear in the vCAC

  Hi all

  I have been playing with vCAC 6.0 for quite awhile (now updated vCAC 6.0.1) and have created a plan that will clone with Windows Server R2 model 2012. Comments agent has not been installed because I wanted only to lift the machine up and running with customization specifications created in vCenter.

  The plan was working as expected after I created the service, part of the catalogue and clearances. After that, I converted the virtual computer model to update the model with new Windows patches, and then convert back to model. Now when I try to create a new master plan, selected the workflow of clone and search for the model, the model that I've updated does not exist in the list. Curious, too, I went to change the blueprint and attempted to review for the model, and it does not appear on the list more. In fact, I created a model of linux (CentOS) at some point after the installation of the vCAC, and I don't see the list as well.

  
  

  No idea on what is happening? Newspapers in the Infrastructure tab-> monitoring-> Log was not showing errors, and I tried to restart all the components of vCAC, including a restart of all services on the server of IaaS.

  Probably, you have to manually kick off the collection of inventory data on computing resources where the model.

• My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It has worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy

  My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy. I used the original product key, when I rebooted it. Ideas?

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
  Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

• Hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but couldn't get the windows genuine back 8

  Original title: recovery of original windows 8

  When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.

  Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

  In addition to this, see:

  If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

• the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

  I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

  Hello:

  There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

  What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

  This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

  Here's how...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

  Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

• Dell XPS 410 HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally.

  HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally. I'm not interested in the stored data, I want to just go back to the factory settings.  Operating system is Vista.

  Thanks for any advice.

  You will need the recovery media you do when you received the system - attach the flash drive or insert the first disk in the backup media, power and press F12.  Start since the media and follow the prompts to reload the factory software image.

  If you do not prepare a media defined in advance, you will need to contact the customer service Dell to buy a game now - they are in fact not able to provide Windows Vista at this stage.
