My hard drive is dying. If I bought a new hard drive, I could use the discs of recovery of re - install Windows 7?
My hard drive on my HPG61 is dying (I already had an option of nine sales under warranty) if I bought a new hard drive and installed it myself the original recovery disks would put windows 7 on a new?
Hi joeB47,
"original recovery disks.
If you are referring to records of recovery of the manufacturer that came with your computer or the recovery discs that you made from the recovery Partition, YES they can be used to reinstall Windows 7 on your new hard drive.
This is what they are desigened to do.

I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.
I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.
The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.
How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.
You can use the usb drive is
you only need to patch the system a little registry
to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.htmlPatching - easy Variant
This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
When asked for a name enter p2v.
Then find the keyHKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS
and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
You can now close regedit and restart.
The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished. -
I've updated all but still, it won't work
Hi Daniel,.
I suggest you to install the validity fingerprint sensor driver to get the finger print sensor option in Control Panel. Here is the link for our reference.
Then, you need to install the Manager software security tools to protect for the finger print job. Go through the link:
Then you must install the player 3D HP 5 guard to protect the drive against damage in case the laptop is hit hard or fall from a low height, by parking the heads.
You can also refer to the thread for your reference.
If you have other questions related to the issue, then I suggest you to contact HP support. They would help you better.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I charged it. Then he asked my previous serial number of my purchase of lightroom 3. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How can I get the serial number of my version 3 so I can activate my program version 4
If you have Lightroom 3 is still installed, you can get it from there.
If you do not and you have your box/drive, it should be there.
IF you do not have one of the people, and you have registered your software, you can log in to your Adobe account and get it there.
