My windows drive was locked with bitlocker, now I can't unlock it.
I had a 80 GB drive which windows was installed in it, so I locked with bitlocker.
He was works very well with my laptop, but when my laptop was damaged, I connected my hard drive to another computer to be used as an external drive, that drive what windows was installed in is locked.
When I try to unlock it, it is said: the encryption on this drive is not compatible with your version of windows. Try to open the drive in a newer version of windows.
.
The version of windows on both computers are the same WINDOWS 8. only the old laptop has 32 - bit and this news is 64-bit.

Fake phone calls to technical support
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:

Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

* Original title: product key
Hello guys, I installed Windows which was not original and now it's not true, I do not know the product key and I want to activate how?
If the edition installed does not match the edition, you have a product key because it will not activate.
If you have a product key for the specific edition installed, try the phone activation:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Ugggh. I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD. The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out. I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work. It's frozen on my iMac! Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen? I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.
If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive. It will work with your computer!
Think I'll get a laptop samsung...
Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

C: drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer.
Original title: instability of the system.
I have xp s3. I had trouble with my main drive lately. Previously, I had my shot raw c drive and I can either logon in safe mode. I used checkdisk by my slave hard drive someone to another disk and it comes back with a few interface problems. Yet once the obtained c drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer. I tried to use to start the system restore but not its use before and now. I have avira for antivirus and Registry Mechanic only. Is there a way I can fix my windows without formatting evrything?
Hi Windflash,
I had a similar problem also and it turns out that the hard drive is dead. You can probably do is to connect the hard drive to a working another computer & use data recovery tools to recover files from it but usability will always be a question.
Data recovery is an another stressful job as for me it took 3 days to recover data to a 500 GB drive.
After which I tried to format it own it but has not as well so I poured the reader.
You can try my snack suggestions if your drive starts to work again I strictly recommend you to use it as a primary drive.
Let me know if it helps.

Recently have messages saying: "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can continue to use it."

Hello, after 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear... what should I do? Help, I don't want to say 'goodbye' to it already... Thank you
It could be the plug on the computer that is the cause of the problem. Try another helmet or a pair of speakers in it.
If you hear only on one side, who will tell you that is the question.
If you hear from both sides, you must obtain a new helmet
Software will fix either of the foregoing...

Accidentally, I put my virtual machine - Windows 7 - 4 MB RAM, and now I can't load and stop it!
My Windows 7 virtual is stuck in start mode of Windows, but not I can't start it, nor can I stop to change the RAM to return to normal. Help! What can I do now?I use Macbook Air if it is useful and WM ware Fusion 6.0.3
Hi Requiem88,
Just to be clear, you press the Option key on the keyboard key then went in the Virtual Machine menu at the top of the screen and choose Force Shut Down who? Looks like you force quit in the menu Apple have rather choose. Force quit will put end to VMware Fusion, while the option Force stop menu stop permanently from Windows itself.
See you soon,.

This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue
Hi guys
After P2V Windows 2003 Storage Server 2003 x 64
I get this message "this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue."
and I am not able to connect to the server and I can not activate because the NETWORK card won't work - since without vmware tools.
no idea why this is happening?
VMware converter 5
Thank you very much
This can happen due to the material Exchange when you P2V. Is there not an option to activate by phone? If this is not the case, take a look at the virtual machine settings to see if the NETWORK card is 'E1000' which should be recognized by Windows 2003 out of the box.

I got a Apple Watch yesterday and since put in place and paired him and everything, but now I can not unlock it or look at anything on the watch because it won't let me. Any ideas as to what is wrong or what I am doing wrong?
Hello
If you have not already done so, it could be that you want to configure your watch with these settings:
-On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - it lights up.
-On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > code turn on (choose a password Simple or more complex).
-Also on the password settings screen, select Unlock with iPhone.
After putting on your wrist, your watch don't unlock then after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.
Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.
