My product key is not accepted when booting from the recovery disc even if I use the product key supplied by the manufacturer.

I wanted to clean up my computer so I copied the data on an external hard drive and then partitioned and formatted my hard drive is internal. I then ran the recovery CD provided when I bought the computer of Evesham Technology.  However, when I provide the product key which is glued on the case of my PC I get the message "the product Id you entered is not valid.  What should I do?

Kind regards

  • It is not possible to boot from the CD bootable on Satellite S5200-902

    Hello

    I have a Satellite S5200-902 and it was really good to use for me actually... Once I received a system error message and might start Windows more. Anyway... I tried to reinstall the OS, but I can't boot from the recovery CD. The CD is ok because I tried it on my other computer. I press F12 for the boot menu option it shows these items as HARD - disk drive - CD drive.

    I choose CD and nothing happens. He always tries to start from the HARD drive. I installed the Windows on the HD satellite on my other computer and it worked very well. He has installed the system but if I put the HD Toshiba Satellite does not start windows. It blocks the laptop.

    BIOS version is 1.30 and I don't know how to install and update the bios 1.8 or something on it, because I don't know how to install it without windows. I now have no idea how to go ahead?

    Can anyone here help me out please because I have no idea?
    Please someone help me ASAP because I need the laptop for work.
    Thank you

    Best regards.

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to know if you can boot from another CD, for example from the original CD of Microsoft.
    It s interesting because I would like to know if the drive of the laptop accept another CD.
    In my opinion, there is something wrong with the internal drive and so the laptop can not boot from the recovery CD.

  • Trying to remove virus format hard drive - when booting from the Windows XP CD, don't teach me to press a button to proceed with the installation?

    Trying to remove virus, need to format the hard drive to remove all programs to remove the virus.  I ran several security programs which has not found a virus.  Taken at Best Buy, they ran their programs, could not detect viruses, but said there are something certainly on my system.  System is pegged almost 100% all the time, so I can't really use the pc.

    Reinstalling the operating system is usually not necessary to remove the malware, but if you're convinced that this is necessary (it is sometimes), this guide is a good:

    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    (this assumes that you have the appropriate Windows XP installation CD)

    Of course, you will need to boot from the CD instead of the hard drive. This page explains that:

    http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm

    You also need to install the hardware drivers. I hope that you have them on CD, too. If this is not the case, the web site of the manufacturer of PC should have them.

    Since a clean install wipes EVERYTHING, you should have all your data copied beforehand.

  • Not possible to boot from the CD after installing Win XP on Tecra A3

    Hi all

    I can't boot from the CD more? I tried following things:
    -J' used several CDs to boot from, such as Windows XP, other CD CD WinXP or UBCD (ultimate Boot CD) and others to boot from.
    -J' chose in the start menu and the Bios first, the CD player must be started from.
    -Disabled the HARD, the LAN and the FDD drive so that only the CD must be started from, nothing else.
    -Press F12 after start-up und selected CD to boot from.
    -removed the battery
    -removed the disk drive HARD that the CD is only peripheral to start.
    -No available recovery disk.
    * Result: Always at top left corner a cursor flashing on a black ecran.*

    My story to this problem/question.
    -J' reinstalled Windows XP after the system became slow, with SP2 and SP3.
    -During the installation of SP3 and at the same time other pilot the system crashed.
    -Pressing F8 after starting, I can choose the Options to win.
    -System running days, several days without any reaction.
    -Sometimes, it goes into "secure mode" and freezes, no entry or possible reaction.

    I want to install Windows XP again from the CD and a clean version to work on.
    That means no two were leaving to work on alone.

    Can someone tell me why the CD player is with any media ignored inside and no departure from them is possible?

    Thanks for your help

  • Flex app does not work when moved from the original location

    I'm doing a gallery of images in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. Files html and swf works perfectly well open in any browser too, but ONLY when these files and all related files are open to the default location where the application has been generated in bin-debug folder. When I export a generation to another folder, the swf file loads but no other information from the display of the xml file. I tried to set all paths reference files (that is, the xml language) in the flex application to the absolute exact location on the server, and it did not work when I downloaded it on the server.

    I tried several approaches from scratch and they all arrive at the same question. I work with a teaching for Flex Builder License, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.

    Help, please! I'm losing my mind on that. I think it has to do with something else, in addition to the code because it works fine when I click 'Run', but if someone thinks it is helps for the zip code let me know.

    Often this is because you must add the - use-network = true compiler option in FlexBuilder menu bar:

    Project - Properties - Flex Compiler - additional compiler arguments:

    Add - use-network = true, and then recompile and post back to the server, should work fine.

    Note: If you create a "Release" version and move elsewhere on your local computer, you may need to add - use-network = true, and then recompile the application to access local resources outside the Flex Builder environment.

  • having the 1935 error code and can not install windows vista from my recovery disc

    I have a recurring error when trying to install all programs (Error 1935).

    and have reinstalled windows using my vista full 23 bits and when installing any program, even a basic program I get the error code 1935. I have a recovery disk, but I don't know how to start to charge and use the recovery disc supplied with my PC
    can someone help please because I am a beginner

    Thank you very much
    Dave

    Each manufacturer is different things about the recovery partition.  You need to contact the computer manufacturer (online - they can publish procedures - or by telephone) for instructions on how to use the recovery disk (there are probably a combination of special keys at boot that activates the process).  Keep in mind that this type of resettlement will completely eliminate your primary system partition, so don't forget to backup your important data until you try it.

    Here is an article on the 1935 error and solution to fix it.  Maybe this will help (he has a little advanced, but so is the problem then do your best to fight the operating instructions).  http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/11/10/255346.aspx.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot boot from OS recovery Disc - hard drive again

    Hello.

    I had some problems with my computer for a while.  This week it stopped starting up, so I ran diagnostics from the utility partition, and it seemed pretty clearly indicate that the hard drive had a few significant flaws.  This was not unexpected, and I have all my data backed up on an external drive, so I bought a new hard drive.

    The problem I'm having now is that my system does not recognize my operating system recovery disk.

    I made sure my CD player is set as a first priority and tried to force it in the start menu, but it is on a black background with a blinking cursor, or says "No Boot Device available"

    I tried the drive in another computer, and I can read here very well.

    I ordered a replacement from Dell recovery disk, but I don't know if there is anything else I should try.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, if the reader is made bootable.  See here:

    original title: cannot boot from the Vista recovery disc

    A real problem. Vista is prompting me to boot from my recovery disc and allow the repair of Windows. However, when I insert the disk it shows loading Windows, but once he starts to launch I get the BSOd with the "Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_Equal" error report with the error code Stop 0x000000D1. I searched on advice but all I can get into the repair mode, but I can't. F8 does not work in safe mode. Week last ChkDisc has run on every start and yesterday I received a number of parts of Vista won't load does not with error reports. Today, it started with Windows can not load the warning and instructions for use the recovery disk... I'm in a loop as I cannot cross the BSOD! Help please

  • Booting from the cdrom

    Just got a brand-new 4235 ID device but there 2.2.5.1 on it. I have the

    3.0 (1) S4 upgrade CD. But how do you repair the unit to boot from it? I have a pc keyboard and monitor directly connected to the probe. Do I have to change the boot settings in the configuration utility? What keys used to emulate a 'Stop' + 'A' a Sun keyboard?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You are right on 4230 devices. They carried before we changed our method of installation/restoration and are not configured to boot from the default CD-ROM drive. I don't remember when change rolled in the production of 4210, but all * currently * navigation devices are configured with the correct boot order by default.

    The instructions for the upgrade/recovery of sensors using the reference of the CD (version 2.5 and later) checking the boot order in the BIOS, but do not go into the details of how change it.

    For SNS and IDS-4220/4230 platforms:

    1. enter in the BIOS by pressing F2 during boot of the system (at the prompt).

    2. go to the "Start" menu and select "Boot Device Priority"

    3 select a boot device and use '+' or '-' to move the unit upwards or downwards in the list until the boot order is correct (removable devices > ATAPI CD-ROM > hard).

    4. press to exit the Boot Device Priority menu.

    5. go to the menu "Exit", then select "Exit Saving Changes".

    For the IDS 4210:

    1. enter in the BIOS by pressing F2 during boot of the system (at the prompt).

    2. go in the menu 'Boot.

    3. Select a boot device (1st, 2nd, etc.), then press.

    4. Select the appropriate device in the list (diskette, CDROM ATAPI or IDE-HDD) and press again.

    5. check the changes match the following:

    1st boot Device: [disk]

    2nd boot Device: [ATAPI CDROM]

    3rd boot device: [drive HARD IDE-]

    6. go to the menu "Exit", then select "Exit Saving Changes".
