• Satellite A660 - 1 H 7 - How to replace the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7

  Hi all

  I'm frequently getting warnings about the health of my hard drive and while it is not catastrophic, I've been umming and ahhing (?) on the replacement of an SSD in the future anyway so thought it was a good excuse.

  My real question is, what the procedure is perfect (or greater) for Windows 7 migration to the new drive? I think I want a default installation because this laptop has had so many programs installed/uninstalled it's probably a bit of a mess.

  I have created 4 recovery DVD disks but have seen on the net they don't work and that download an ISO with the vignette product key can work either. I can't really afford interruption much (or all) so I try to do it safely and securely as possible!

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time,.

  > what the procedure is perfect (or greater) for Windows 7 migration to the new drive?

  I think the fastest solution is the use of the recovery disk that you created using the recovery media creator Toshiba. I don't see a reason why it should not work as part of a new SSD.

  I also have another recommendation.
  You can create an image of your current HDD (partitions) using internal Windows 7 Backup and restore
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore

  After using the recovery disk, you can use the created image to get the current status.

• HARD drive gone bad. How to replace the HARD drive and reinstall operating system without a recovery disk?

  I have a HP with Windows 7 Home Premium TouchSmart tm2.  The HARD drive is clicking and will not start.  Error: Device not found Boot.  I guess I have to replace the HARD drive, but how can I restore/reinstall operating system without a recovery disk?  Windows was preinstalled, and I have the product key.  Thank you.

  Hello:

  You can order a recovery disc defined by following the instructions on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

  or...

  You can download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows 7 Home Premium ISO on the link below and use your product key to activate the installation.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You need a program that will be able to burn ISO files so that the DVD is bootable DVD burning. Burn at the slowest possible speed for best results.

  Then install all the drivers you need for your PC support and driver page.

• Replacing the hard drive and reinstall Windows

  I installed a new SSD after and an old man died.  I have software and codes appropriate for Full XP and Windows Vista.  I got the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro.  I forgot Windows 7 is an upgrade and commissioned first (with all updates, antivirus, MS Office and some other programs) I now use the using the 30-day trial option.  So here's the question...

  I know the standard answer is to wipe everything and start loading XP or Vista then "redevelopment" of Win 7, but I have to ask.  If I have good previous codes of my Windows operating system and the upgrade activation code for my Win 7, is there a way to convince the customer to activate my product remotely or just give me an activation code which will keep me upward and running?  This will save a lot of time and effort for me.

  Respectfully,.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

• I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

  Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

  Hello!

  I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

  WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
  * key series *.
  * numbers of many * X 1881991

  Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

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

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• had to replace my hard drive and install photoshop elements 9 diskless. I downloaded but it won't install, there is always a mistake. What should I do?

  Error that says 'install' is corrupted and cannot be opened. You must eject the disk image

  Then he said: 'install' is on the 'photoshopelements_9_LS15.dmg' Safari downloaded disk image this disk image today at 13:33 from trials2.adobe.com

  I had to replace my hard drive and cannot find the disc for my Photoshop Elements 9, so I need to download on the internet. I connected to Adobe and got my serial number when I bought and then went to downloads. There is only one place that has an option to download items and it is grouped under 9,8,7. I downloaded and then it opened and when I click on install, I get the above message. I don't understand what else to do. I don't mind the upgrade if that's what I have to do but didn't have the 9 items I bought initially already installed on my computer?

  Help, please... I am not very computer detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

• can [4820tg] I replace my hard drive and always keep the Windows license?

  Hey! A quick question, on an older laptop that is still alive.

  Acer Aspire 4820TG

  Windows 7 family

  Can I replace the hard drive and install Windows again?

  I mean, I burned the recovery CD or software any Acer asked when the computer was new. Those can be used to install Windows if I replace the current hard drive?

  If so, how does the license? I guess that they can not be used on another computer, but I can reinstall all I want on this one?

  Thanks in advance!

  And this laptop is awesome. Runs strong through its 4th year and the battery still pumps on ~ 4-5 hours by being careful with the use. Heh, the other parts are probably die slowly, including the hard drive.

  Well.

  

  Yes to all your questions.

  You must use the recovery media that you have created, just check that they are still ok or create a new one, just in case where.

  on the license, it's like SLIC table BIOS, so you don't need to enter a serial number and your windows will be activated automatically.

• Pavilion dv6600ev: I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I want to check compatibility

  Hello guys. I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I would check the compatibility. For the momemt, I have 2 x 512 MB of RAM and a 160 GB HARD drive. Does anyone know the type of RAM (DDR1 or DDR2 most) and the accepted maximum capacity. Also the SATA port is a SATA I? Besides, I'm going to change the operating system (preferably in Win 7) so is there a driver?

  You can install DDR2-800 modules and they are the most widely available at this point, but the memory will run at 667 mhz speed.
