Greetings: Johnny Landmark.

You cannot use an Asus recovery disc and product key to fix the Acer computer.

Your license of Vista Asus is linked to YOUR computer.

It won't work on his.

It won't pass activation and probably will not yet be installed...

Bring it to contact Acer at the above link and buy a set of Acer recovery disks.

They normally sell them for a cost of $ small.

Or, follow my advice in my 1st answer and try and borrow a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

See you soon.

  • Envy Touchsmart K204TX: Envy K203TX recovery disks can be used to retrieve a K204TX feel like?

    Hi, the first thing I did when I got my Envy cell phone, K203TX, was to create a set of recovery disks.

    Then I discovered that the laptop has several questions.

    HP sent me a technician on-site, and technology, said these problems were caused by a material defective number (display board, motherboard and the case has a defective battery lock). It helped me to return the laptop as DOA.

    The problem is, HP store couldn't make me K203TX one another, I paid like $150 and upgraded to a fancy K204 TX.

    I have now the 204TX and this laptop has no problem at all, it's as good as it can get.

    My drive recovery K203TX of envy is always with me.

    Question > can I use these discs to recover my K204TX disaster? Or I'll throw these drives and create a new set of recovery disc for this computer?

    My computer came with Windows 7.  Recently, my hard drive failed.  I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did.  These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

    YES!

    I just did mine 01/01/2016, installed a new WD 500 GB HDD black on my laptop ASUS K52F, took my DVD 4 restore disks and restored to Win 7 Home Premium, more 10 Windows, which is sitting on my old HDD in the trash. I'll stick with my Original OEM OS and never improve to WIN 10 times.

  • How to find if a scsi disk can be used as a ROW or only use not vsphere CLI.

    Hi, I want to know if the SCSI disk can be used as RDM and a remote computer running vSphere CLI.

    I tried to use 'vicfg-scsidevs - l', but it doesn't have the required information list

    ===============================================

    Here is sample out put

    MPX.vmhba0:C0:T1:l0

    empty fields "Is Capable RDM" here.

    =======================================================

    When I executed the command 'esxcfg-scsidevs - l' on an ESX Server, he gave me the necessary info.

    The console device: / dev/cciss/c0d0

    Is Local: true

    Other names:

    VML.0000000000766d686261303a303a30

    So is it possible for vSphere CLI through which we can tell if the SCSI disk device can be used as ROW or NOT?

    and what parameter defined as capable of RDM?

    Thank you

    Chandra Sekhar P.

    Hi Chandra,

    In order to get the SCSI LUNS that can serve as RDM, you must use the QueryConfigTarget method. This method is defined on EnvironmentBrowser. You need to recover some EnvironmentBrowser object ComputeResource the HostSystem where the virtual machine is created. The configTarget.ScsiDisk returned after the method call contains the logic unit number information that is capable of RDM.

    I hope this helps!

    1. check that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop is correct and if this isn't the case, please click on the drop down menu to select your operating system.

    2. then, click the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED DOWNLOADS" section and click on the MINI MASTER CONFIGURATION file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear.

    Hello les1helen,

    If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    I wanted to use a printer with my laptop lexmark. The printer was used with another computer and it worked fine, but when I tried to use it with the laptop, I was not able find the installation disk and tried to install without it. The laptop produces a message indicating he could find the internet facility info if I accepted this. He had apparently fulfilled this function, and I tried to print a document. The document has been printed, but the result was so low, that it was not readable. I then found the installation disk and tried to restart but was confused by the messages and options. I don't have a printer that prints. Help.

    You are trying to share files between a Vista computer (since you posted in a forum of Vista) and a Windows 7 machine?

    The Vista network type must be set to 'Private' and the Windows 7 network type must be set to "Home" or "work".

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below). The Vista network type must be on "private". "Public" is for when you are connected to an Internet connection 'foreign' as an Internet café, at Starbucks or a hotel, etc.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

    I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

    Hi Christian,

    I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

    As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

    I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.
