Need a code product key for a change of hard drives. I need key product for the motherboard too?

computer, I took the hard drive was an emachine with Windows XP home. I had another computer in a place away from giving old IBM computers with no working or deleted hard drives. I put the hard drive of the computer and now its wanting a product key code. I don't know where the original XP product key is for the moment. I do not know what is the product key for the motherboard because it was a used computer. If this does not work, what are my options for access to the info on my hard drive another way?

The license for installing XP on an eMachines computer will be an OEM is restricted to use on this computer. It cannot be moved to an another computer/motherboard.

If you want to make true on the new computer, first check and see if this computer has a COA OEM sticker on the case.

If so, then you have use the product key update tool to change the key and then probably activate by phone.

If this isn't the case, then your only hope is to see if you can find a reputable provider with stock of XP Home and purchase who then use the tool to update product key with the new key.

  • When I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    I bought a desktop lenovo Lenovo online - usa around 15/02/2015. the machine came with windows 7 pro. installed through windows downgrade rights 8 pro.

    but perhaps, I do not open/use the machine until 30/03/2015. After that, I have updated the system by installing updates provided/offered by windows updates.

    around 04/03/2015, when I open the computer properties, down to the title of the windows activation, there was this message "remaning 2 days to activate windows.» Activate now»

    When I click on activate now. Another dialogue box opens, indicating that the product key entered by me is not valid.

    I called mirosoft support, but perhaps, they refused to help me because I don't have the product key. (as long as no key is provided to me by lenovo, but only 8 pro windows recovery media.)

    I called lenovo support, but perhaps they also did not help me, according to them, it was a software problem, that only microsoft could solve.

    now, I had another death system (samsung) with windows 7 pro, so I used this product key to activate my windows on lenovo.

    My quiries are:

    1. what happens if God for bid, I want to restore my system to its factory state using the recovery partition or recovery media created by me, using backup and restore of lenovo.

    1. What is the status of my windows?

    1 b. Will he ask again the activation key?

    2. as I have downgrade rights to windows 8 pro, it is said that the product key is built-in on the motherboard. now when I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    3. What is the best possible solution to this question, while I keep the original oem windows?

    is not - and never has been - responsibility of MS to pre-installed Windows help, a large part of the price of Windows is the support costs. Manufacturer have always had the responsibility to provide software support for the warranty period. Most interprets this as giving instructions on how to use the recovery media :(

    Yes, by using the recovery media should give your system its true status.  It will delete all data and programs, so go back to external media first!

  • Cannot access my backup time machine on external hard drive once I changed my hard drive

    Since I changed my hard drive on my mac pro book I can't access the time machine back up on my external hard drive. All the shows when I connect the hard drive, but I can't access it.  Any ideas?

    I use El Captain MacBook Pro (15-inch mid-2012),

    By changing the hard drive, you have also lost all preferences, including those for Time Machine. You can have success by cloning back from the old system to the new drive to get back them.

    Or, simply erase the backup drive, reconfigure Time Machine preferences, then let time Machine do a new backup.

  • When changing the 80 GB to 40 GB HARD drive, Satellite M40 does not recognize the drive

    Hi all

    Thanks for coming in! :)
    I recently source two-disc 40GB 2.5 "IDE and intended to run one of them in my Satellite M40.

    The problem starts here:

    (1) I took the original 80 GB hard drive & install the 40 GB hard drive
    (2) start and put in the Toshiba M40 recovery disk
    (3) display screen 'Y' for recovery blah blah blah thing...
    (4) then the screen shows 'cannot be installed because no hard drive found ".
    (5) I boot in the BIOS using F2-> F1, page 2 shows no hard drive

    (6) I try to use my own CD of Windows XP Pro, same thing (as in no hard drive found)
    (7) and the BIOS too show no hard drive found

    The two disk 40 GB is out of mobile work and they formatted it, partition deleted with NOTHING on it. They have also been tested on other PCs (using the converter) using WXP. Two of them work very well!

    Now, the weird thing is that I just can't make it work at least in the Sat - M40. Why is this? Toshiba locked the M40 being one Toshiba-disc is usable?
    Is there a place to get through it? Hidden BIOS?

    I have fixed a large number of PCs, but I can't with this, Please HELP...
    Any response would be appreciated, thanks! :)

    Hello

    The M40 should be able to use 40 GB hard drives with no problems.
    But you must use hard drives with the right interface.
    To my knowledge the M40 supports hard drives with an interface IDE (ATA-6).

    So be sure that your 40 GB HARD drive supports it.

    By the way; Check if your HARD drive supports the good master or slave definition.
