My hard drive has failed. I have Microsoft XP media center edition 2005. How can I get a recovery disk?
I had a hard disk crash. I don't care about data loss, but I bought a new hard drive and you want to install Windows XP media center edition 2005. I have a sticker on the side of my pc with the product code. How can I get a recovery disk? Download the program from another PC?
As your original failed hard drive, you would of course not be able to access any partition contained on this hard drive recovery. Therefore, your best option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer and see if you can get the installation of their own media.

Deactivation of Dreamweaver when your hard drive has failed... Help!
How are you?
My hard drive has failed a few days ago, so I bought a new. I realized that I have to disable my copy of Dreamweaver, but as I can't hard disk, how can I disable the it now?
If someone from Adobe can manually overide my activations that would be great. I tried to contact you but I don't have a phone and there is no option of email...
You can not. What you can do is to call Adobe if you have a problem with activation
and explain the situation.
I have had this happen myself and 5 minutes on the chat line took care of her.

My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive. Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased. If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping. My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it. What can I do? Thank you for your information.
When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed. I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process. I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive. The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests. I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities. After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER. I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one. My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary? If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?
It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem. Replace the disk and it may be OK after that. On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

I can't do the system restore and I have nothing on my "All programs" button, which means that I have not accessories, System Tools, etc. How can I get that back?
Hello CalebCox,
I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.
Method 1:
This problem can be caused due to infection by the Virus. I suggest that you run a virus scan on your computer using Microsoft Safety scanner and check if you have the same problem.

I have Acrobat professional 9. I moved it to my new computer Windows 10. Whenever I have printed on a home printer it ask again me if I want to improve and I only have 12 days to do it. How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)
No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)

All the above say:
Before, when I typed an http address in my hotmail account, it could be highlighted; Since I have firefox, it is NOT highlighted. How can I get firefox to highlight an http address when I type it?Do you mean to create a clickable hyperlink while composing a new mail?
Just above the text box that allows you to enter the text of the message, there usually a bar of buttons with buttons to add updated text in shape like the bold and italic.
This toolbar can also have a button to activate a clickable hyperlink text link (look for a string like button).
You can select the text and click on this button to activate the link into a clickable hyperlink.
If you can not find the button, and then move all the to check the ToolTip of each.
