My XP recovery partition was wiped out. How to make a new copy of windows to install on my computer?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Should I call Microsoft and ask them to send a new disk or should I download it? The guy is completely lost. Thanks for your help.

If you want to say that it is created by the PC OEM recovery partition (Dell, HP, etc.), you will need to contact them on replacement disks. You can also check online, sometimes you will see specific disk for PC on ebay or some specialized surplus places.

Know that these are just disks, you still need a CD valid for installing the software and sometimes keys are specific to the type of disc you have. A Dell installation key may not work with a CD of retail for example.

  • How to make a legal copy of windows xp home edtn refurbished pcs?

    A friend bought a refurbished laptop, which was supposed to have the operating system preloaded on it. However after looking at me I noticed, it's loaded with windows xp pro renovated instead of windows xp home PC reconditioned computers. The proof of the license certificate of Authenticity on the bottom of the laptop is for PC Windows xp home edtn renovated. The disc that came with the laptop is the version currently installed on it. What I need is a disc to install the version on the laptop and do the work for her. How can I get the correct copy and what should I do with the bad copy?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Try to contact PC manufacturing and request a recovery media.

    Also check with their tech support to see if there is a "Recovery" partition (long shot a renovated could include replacement of the hard disk).

  • After my gateway mD2614u (64bits WHP) OS was wiped out by the virus and "projected blue" I installed my old version (Gateway), Vista 32 bit... it will be good?

    After my gateway mD2614u (64 bit WHP) OS was wiped out by the virus and "projected blue" I installed my old disk of Vista Home Premium 32-bit (gateway) to try to recover the operating system to 64-bit in fact somehow, it works fine after installing the network drivers appropriate. Would it be possible to retrieve an original os status or should I simply buy the disk recovery, or just be it? I know that tmi!

    # Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows is OK but one backward migration is a problem because the 32-bit version of the installer cannot delete some items of 64-bit.  It produces a mixed version where you have taste strange anomalies a folder programs (x 86) and a programs folder.  Vista 32 bit shouldn't have a programs (x 86) folder.  Only 64-bit Vista has that.  He there's other, less obvious, issues.  Although you can retrieve files from the Windows.old folder the BONE itself is not trustworthy.  I tested the backward migration during the program Vista TechBeta and script scenarios has never supported by Microsoft Support after RTM due to 32-bit installation being unable to deal with the structure of the 64-bit system to remove.

    You must order the 64 bits of the gateway recovery disks (if still available) or a third party such as Recovery - Disks.com.

    I have a MacPro. Recently, my computer was wiped out. I lost all my software. I bought CS2 years ago. I've updated by buying CS5 a few years later. My CS software is automatically updated by Adobe several months ago. Now, when I need to reinstall my software I can not do. I need to reinstall CS2 before I reinstall my CS5 update. However, my computer accepts no more CS2 software. How can I return my software?

    I need to reinstall CS2 before I reinstall my CS5 update.

    It is not necessary. You need only to re - install the latest version you have (full version or upgrade - all versions include the complete program code, it is the serial number that distinguishes plenty of upgrade)-even on a machine that has never had any installed Adobe software.

    The installation program will ask you to enter the serial number from a previous version to verify that you qualify to use the upgrade.

    Which is the last version that you own? CS5 or CS6? You have all your serial numbers?

    You can download the latest version of download and Installation Help | Download and Installation Help

    Install and enter your serial number.

    You can install the applications available in creative cloud on your firstcomputer and backup a single computer, as long as they do not work at the same time. You will have access to the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for example, you can install your applications on both.

    You can reference "Activation limit reached" or "connection error impossible ' with Adobe applications

  • When I type text, the text is in a box, and I can't figure out how to make the box go away. I never had this problem before.

    When I type the text in the latest Illustrator, the text is in a white box. I never had this problem before. I can't find out how to make the box go away. What I am doing wrong?

    Today I tried to close Illustrator and re-boot the computer. It did not help. I went on a second computer video/graphics/animation and open Illustrator here. I did a few tests, and he managed to create the text without a box. Then, I opened my first computer Illustrator file form. The boxes were there. I tried to type the new text, and the box was there. When I open the file it says something about a missing font and a replacement. I tried to use this area to locate the police but couldn't. It's the default font on Illustrator on the other computer. A variant of Myriad. I tried to type in the text with a different font. No box. The default font selected by the Illustrator has apparently a box. I didn't try to change the font because it was going well, and because I didn't know any font came with a box. At first, I did all of the text, which was on a white background, so I don't see the boxes of cream. When I added the background image of the boxes appeared. If the problem is resolved. It was a font with a box.

  • Problems accessing the HP Recovery Manager after the installation of new copy of Windows 7.

    I have the HP Pavilion dv6 (2043us) originally with Windows 7 Home Premium. A recent storm crossed in my area, which seems to me to be the cause of a corrupt hard drive file that prevented Windows startup. My extra fathers using copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (is a prominent IT guy for his company, he has a lot to lose) I decided to install it from that rather than using the HP Recovery Manager in order to save my files (Windows Startup Repair and system restore failed, and to restore the default factory was not desirable) as I mentioned it because of my desire to save my documents) I have installed on the same partition as the original windows, allowing files to be viewed in Windows.old.

    However, after all that, I came to the will to restore the default settings. However, after you press (esc) and (f11) to access the Recovery Manager, it is bring up the Windows Startup logo and the login screen. Is it possible to access the Recovery Manager and restore the default settings? If so, how should I do this? As I said, I left all the original parts intact, so I do not think it is possible after some research, but I'm not sure how to start the process.

    This method to get the active recovery partition was first introduced to me by Cheryl here on the site. It may or may not work.

    Right-click on computer and click Manage > search in the list on the left, and then open disk management. You should see the recovery partition it. Click right and whether it is active and the next time that you start it up, it should boot into the recovery partition and restore back to the factory.

  • How to create a new copy of security (0x8100000A)?

    When you do a regular copy of the C drive, an error occurred and the D recovery disk was full. I deleted the disk D (obviously a mistake) and now when I try to make a new copy, I get an error message saying that I need to create a new copy of security (0x8100000A). How do I do that?

    Hello

    The D: Recovery Drive, which you deleted, has been put there by your Manufactjrer of the computer for these reasons not to do backups to:

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You should ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    You can't replace the recovery D: Partition and your recovery D: Partition should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    .

    Your recovery Partition on your hard drive was photographed during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for the above reasons.

    :

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    There is no use on the same hard drive backup in any case; as if the hard drive breaks down, you've lost all your data.

    Spend a little money as external hard drives have descended in the price and do your backups on an external hard drive.

    See you soon

  • How to make a backup of my Windows Vista?

    Hello.

    Windows Vista has been installed on my Toshiba laptop when I bought it.

    How to make a backup of my Windows Vista and I need to?

    Can I do a backup on a CD, or how?

    I think I have to need if I get a virus and you need to remove and install from the beginning.

    Thanks by

    Hello

    I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.

    You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

    > Important INFORMATION
    >
    > your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair
    > your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly
    > drive hard (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"
    (> and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery for this purpose.

    > Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the
    > Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer
    > is seriously damaged

    So create one and if you need, you can get factory settings with Windows, drivers and tools in minutes.

    If you want to make a backup of your laptop with all the software that was installed by you, you must use programs such as Acronis True Image backup.

  • How to find my product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer?

    Anyone know how to find my product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer...  I have several licenses and want to ID what license is on which computer.

    I see the product ID, but can't seem to find the product 'key '.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  J

    To find out which product keys are used:

    Summary

    If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

    Details

    Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

    User level: beginner to Expert

    If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

    Click Start, type: cmd

    Press enter on your keyboard

    At the command prompt, type the following command:

    slmgr - dli


    Press enter on your keyboard

    A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

    For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on command prompt

    Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: CMD

    Press enter on your keyboard
