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.
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.

How to open an otd attachment in my email address? Currently, he attends the notebook and I can, t read the script. Thanks for your suggestions.
I suspect that you really like ODT file extension. These are created in Open Office. Download and install Open Office (it's free) or ask your correspondent to save files in a format compatible with any office application you are using (for example, Microsoft Word). See this thread: http://help.lockergnome.com/office/open-openoffice-odt-file-Word-2003--ftopict929318.html

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:
Product key lost or misplaced (certificate of authenticity) for Windows
If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.
Hope this information was useful.

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. -

No matter how much hard drive space or size is not displayed. It says hard drive is not accessible and the cyclic redundancy error. When I try to format it, it says windows could not finish.

Sorry, you can not. A CRC error means that there is a serious problem with your drive. You need to replace it.

I have a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista. I put Norton anti-virus on it last year. Now I am trying to run the new disk of Norton and the computer tells me that setup.exe has stopped working and I can't run the program. Norton 2008 has been removed.
http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Download/run their abovelink Norton Uninstall tool to ensure that all "Norton" is deleted.
Then, right-click on the setup.exe Norton > run as admin.
If the above does not help:

Hello
You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.
This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.
You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.
Here is the information about HP.
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703
If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.
If HP's Vista recovery disks, 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
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

My product key was taken out of my turn to my children and I can't reactivate my windows vista is there a way to recover my product key?
original title: product keyHello
As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
They give you a different product key.
What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.
None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.
