Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows

Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.

Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.

I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)

The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it.  I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.

How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?

Help, please.

Thank you.

Hello:

You can order a Vista recovery disk set for your laptop if they are still available. See the instructions below:

http://support.HP.com/US-en/document/c00810334=

If you live not in the US or the Canada, you can contact HP Support worldwide for the country you live and ask recovery disks command to your laptop

  • Need help with the product key of window 8

    So my phone got wet by the rain and, fortunately, only my internal hard drive has been damaged. I went to the mall to buy a new hard drive and had it fixed by a pc repairman. However, they told me that I have to reinstall my windows and says that they can install a pirated copy of windows 8 (I bought my laptop with a pre-installed windows 8 in there), which I have allowed because of my urgent need for the laptop and the lack of money to buy a new installer. At first, I thought that my problem has been resolved and I can reuse the laptop. However, after a few days of use, windows crashes always with an error code driver_power_state_failure and don't constantly back running after a few minutes. So, I thought that what I have to do is to find my product key 8 original windows and reinstall windows 8. Someone told me that I can still install it by using the product key in my motherboard

    My question is how I'll be able to restore / reinstall windows 8 by using the original product key? And is it possible to recover the product key?

    PS: when it has been damaged by the rain, I've had my laptop checked by some computer know-how and told me that only the hard drive has been damaged and all the other parts still work fine. Once it was repaired, I was able to usevit again for a few days until the crash/restart happened.

    This error is not caused by the missing key, but because you have a pirated copy of the operating system, we can not help you.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

    Hello HP assistants.

    I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

    Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

    As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • HP Pavilion a6000n - improvement of the system. Need help with the decision and suggestions

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion a6000n, spec even with this link , except that I have 3 GB of memory and Window Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    I think to update some of my computer hardwares that can run more smooth in some games and to improve my gaming experience.

    I'm looking to replace the processor and graphics card.  At the present time, I have an AMD Athlon (TM) 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 4200 + 2.2 and a NVIDIA Geforce 6150SE nforce 430.

    My price range is around $100-$200 for processor and graphics together.

    I looked at cela processor and graphics card

    They will make a big difference and improvement than what I have at the moment?   If this isn't the case, then can you guys give me some suggestions on the choice of the better ones out there?

    Thank you!

    You have only a 300w ATX PSU (Power Supply Unit), then you will need to update if you plan to install a good graphics card.  Check the manufacturers minimum power required for the card you decide on getting.  As for the CPU, it does not require the upgrade - the graphics card is what causes your performance problems (in the games).  I would like to spend more money on a power supply and graphics card and leave the CPU alon (so far )

  • Need help with the links and the fill color

    Hi all, I just recently discovered liveCycle and I am very impressed with it! I tried to get a calendar of working from home for awhile now and I did for the most part, but there are a few things more that I would like to add that I do not know how to do.

    I have experience HTML and Java, but very few XML or JavaScript experience. I have a feeling that what I try to do is relatively simple, but I just can't understand it! I spent hours on Google and the help files, and I feel that I got the end again, but not joy.

    I have attached my calendar (truncated to fit the size of max 5 MB attachments) so far. I would like it to do more than two things:

    1. have the background color of the table cells change from white to green when the checkbox is enabled.

    (Alternatively, I would really like to get rid of boxes to tick all the thogether and just the table cells background become green with a hotkey, such as "ctrl + D" to 'make'.) "But if this is not possible, then the color change with the box is fine).

    2. I want the button called "WORD DOC" in the upper right of the form to open a document in word on my local computer. I just push this button and a doc of work opens right in Word in another window.

    I was able to get. PDFs to open in the other two buttons here ('Big Java' and 'Beginning Java II') by adding the script

    app.openDoc ("Big Java.pdf");

    and

    app.openDoc ("Java beginning II.pdf");

    for each buttons respectively, but these PDF files must be in the same folder as the calendar to make it work. I tried just to edit this script by replacing the name of the PDF file by the name of a file to Word doc like this:

    app.openDoc ("test.docx");

    but the button does not work, there is simply nothing.

    So what I'm trying to do. I spent hours messing around with everything I could think of to make it work, but unfortunately I do not know the language well enough so he can work.

    I'd appreciate really any advice on this at all. I thank very you much for your review.

    Click on the second box to check and see the result.

    Is that what you want?

    How to disinfect these lists and end up with a list of computers that are not in both places? (to later be deleted with other commands, not relevant here)

    You were there at halfway when you tried with the Name property.

    But you must keep all the computernames in 1 table and all VMnames in another table.

    Then, you can compare the 2 tables.

    Something like that

    $ad = Get-QADComputer -SearchRoot 'domain.lan/Test-NoGPO' | %{$_.Name}$vmware= Get-VM -Location VDI_RemoteAccess | %{$_.Name}

  • Need help with the query and output

    I have a table that contains a list of property and each an asset contains a category field, each an asset can have several categories assigned, then the category column is filled in a list (for example, 14, 16, 17, 19).

    The values are based on a table of categories using the primary key as a reference number (for example 14 = keyboards, 16 = Trackballs, etc..)

    I tried to understand how the power of categories so that when the category is displayed, the list will appear under the name of the category as opposed to the non referenced.

    example:
    < name cfquery = "qIndex" datasource = "#appDSN #" >
    SELECT Asset.Reference, Asset.AssetName, Asset.Category
    Assets
    WHERE category LIKE ' %#URL. Category #% '
    < / cfquery >

    < cfoutput query = "qIndex" >
    #Asset.Reference # < br / >
    #Asset.AssetName # < br / >
    #Asset.Category #.
    < / cfoutput >

    Exhibition:
    AD_987738
    Keyboard XYZ
    11, 14, 17, 18

    Table for categories are:
    CatID = primary key
    Category = category name
    CatImage = header Image

    Thanks for any help.

    Finally figured this out. Had to insert an intermediate query within the output to filter each record, otherwise he was out the results of the first record only and repeat.


    SELECT *.
    Assets
    WHERE category LIKE ' %#URL. Category #% '


    SELECT the CATEGORY, AssetID
    Assets
    WHERE assetID = #qIndex.AssetID #.


    Category category WHERE CatID IN (#catids #)


    Category: #qCat.Category #,

    #qIndex.Asset #.

    #qIndex.Reference #.

    Thanks again for the help.

  • Formatting and reinstalling Windows without the recovery CD

    I don't have access to my recovery cd as I am currently overseas and I am trying to format and reinstall windows. What would be the best way to do this? The recovery CD is totally part of reinstalling windows?

    I don't want to just do the reinstall and find that I have no screen etc.

    Hello

    Well, if you have no recovery CD, you can install the Windows operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows. Then you can try to download all the required drivers will Toshiba from the Toshiba download page.

    Do not use the feature distribute the form. Instead of this, just put up a button "submit" and configure it to send email using any email address you want. Just add a button and set the action of the mouse upward on "Submit a form" and use a type mailto URL and specify that you want to send the full PDF.

    I've been slowly making progress with gradient for kernels mesh, but I can't seem to recreate the look of the ball at all.

    Tank,

    You have published three images stylistically very different. The first is photographic and call probably (but not necessarily) for graduates of mesh. The other two are graphical treatments (and frankly, they're both rather flat; lack of depth).

    Illustration style extends the range of cartoonish in sketchy photo-realism and all the rest. The problem is you didn't show your own attempt so that anyone can have an idea of what you're trying to achieve the stylistic point of view.

    I just need to put in place so that the final step does not appear the whole box. The problem now is trying to make the style of the good brush to reproduce the effect...

    You seem to think you have to build a kind of linear construction and then find a way to reshape the shape of each part of the leaf. Yes, you pouvez approach it this way, but Illustrator users has often tend to be what aunt Molly would call "too clever by half."

    Not everything must be something semi intelligent auto or complex and tedious consruct involving brushes, envelopes, masks, etc, etc. Much can be accomplished by thinking that he just thanks to measure you draw directly economic paths and constructions, which take no more time (often less) and result in very tidy, simple files. Again, a lot depends on what you are trying to achieve the stylistic point of view. But here's an example that only took a few minutes to draw:

    If the above consists of:

    Three roads closed, 8 points each, with ordinary linear degrees

    Three mixtures of open path with three anchor points for each key path

    Six paths closed for shadows / highlights, with 19 points in total

    Mixtures being directly from the paths drawn comic forms, the spacing of the veins 'automatically' and intuitively follows the width from point of view of the worksheet.

    Rather than to build a boilerplate brush, colouring and the weight of each of the three main paths of the vein mixtures can be set individually at any time, simply directly by selecting the key path.
