• Unable to recover the old data synchronization after reinstalling operating system

  Hello

  I was using Firefox 26. Recently, I've upgraded to the latest version. A few reasons, I had to reinstall my windows 7 OS.

  After I installed Windows 7, I installed the latest Firefox and tried to synchronize data. I was unable to connect because I forgot the password. I tried using the link "password forgotten", but he said there is no such thing as e-mail id. It was surprising to me. I'm still all emails, including the secret key, I used to add new devices earlier, since Firefox in my mail box.

  Since I left without another option, if I'm creating a new represent now on Firefox with old email ID. The account is created successfully. Again, it is strange to me. However, my old data are not synchronized.

  I need the old data. Help, please.

  Thank you
  Ravi

  Sorry, Sync was not intended to be used to backup Firefox data before reinstalling the operating system. Its purpose is to synchronize several separate installations of Firefox, usually on the various devices.

  The old version of Firefox 26 uses another version of Sync, the latest version of synchronization happen in Firefox 29. The largest variation in sync had to do with the recovery key ('secret key') - is no longer something to see the user or has to deal.

  You should have installed Firefox 28 or earlier and then connected to your account synchronization to recover your data and then put updated for Firefox 32. By creating a new account with the same email address, your data has been wiped out by synchronization servers to allow you to start a new.

• Hard drive dead - reinstall operating system without CD?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion DV6-6024TX, who has recently had the hard disk matrix. The laptop is out of warranty.

  I purhcased a new hard drive and installed shortly, but I have no copy of the sytem (windows 7 32-bit) OS to install on the new drive. As the old drive died and won't start Windows I can't extract it from there.

  Is there a way I can legally download the OS and use it to boot Windows and use my existing key or I have to buy some CD (heard that a few people on this site but can't find the link).

  Would appreciate help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can use your existing product key to reinstall Windows 7 as described below.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Reinstall operating system clean

  Hi, my PC has become very slugish and less than a pleasure to use. In my opinion, only a clean reinstall of Windows XP-Home Edition OS would be an advantage. I do not have the Partition Recovery and recovery disks BUT the OS has a load of change since purchase I was thinking of using a Windows XP disk and to do a reformat and clean install. I have Windows XP on CD, SP2 SP3 & on CD as well. I have Office 2007 and don't want to go back to what was the original, I have IE on loan from CD, but also utilities that I use now, and as there are a lot of things in the original installation I won't have on the machine now, i.e. of Money 2000, work, as well as other programs exits/old that is is packed with the original install , it simply comes down to insert the Windows XP disk and following the guests?

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

  HP Pavilion 504 has; 1.80 GHz; 1.50RAM

  If you have a full retail version of XP, you can easily do a clean install of the operating system. First of all, don't forget to backup or copy data files, you currently have on your machine. You will lose everything that is currently on the hard disk. Make sure you have the disks to reinstall the programs that you want to use. Your machine was originally a machine XP, you should have no problem with the drivers or other hardware. The recovery disks, you return your machine to the same state that he came from the factory, including all associated programs. The commercial version will do a completely clean install with none of the associated software.

  I suggest that you first newspaper on the HP site and make sure you have copies of all drivers for your system. Chances are you will not need them, but if you save them to disk, you will know that you have the latest drivers. Then insert your XP disk and follow the instructions. After the initial installation, you will need to activate the program, and then install sp2 and sp3 discs. After that switch from windows update and get all the latest OS, specifically, the security updates, there will be a lot. Install and activate your desired anti-virus software. Then my habit, defragmenting the drive, install the software that you want to activate, defrag again and then create a recovery disk set for you.

  If you have an HP machine go to HP Update to ensure that you don't miss the latest drivers for your machine. You machine should be humming along pretty well now, just as when it was new. While you rebuild your machine, consider adding memory. With most operating systems Microsoft more memory significantly complements its effectiveness.

• Inspiron 17R-N7010 new SSD installed, now I need Windows 7 operating system installation CD.

  Hi guys,.

  So my HDD on my Inspiron 17R-N7010 completely stock * on me last week, so I just gritted my teeth and just bought I have completely new SDS and installed last night... now, however, I need to reinstall the operating system. Problem is that when I bought the laptop, Windows 7 is pre-installed, so I don't have to drive to it. How can I do to get an installation disc, and how much it will cost if I can get my laptop up and running again? It's an outdated OS and the laptop is almost 6 years, I can't imagine which costs a lot. There is also a store Microsoft directly by me, can I go ahead and buy the disc of Windows 7 OS you think?

  In addition, the original HARD drive was 640GO and this new SSD is 500 GB, so the recovery disks that I made when I got the laptop are unnecessary since Dell Datasafe Recovery (or whatever we call it) keeps telling me the hard drive needs to at least 590GB of space (or something similar along this message). The smallest space on the SSD isn't going to be a problem with the laptop in general or during installation of operating system Windows 7 is?

  You will need to call Dell - they usually sell a set of recovery media for about $25 in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Canada.

• Computer laptop dv6 Pavilian: I need the original operating system for a Pavilian model dv6 dv6 1355dx

  I have upgraded to windows 10 and did not like it and tp attempt to restore the computer and accidentally erased my original windows 7. I then bought and installed windows 7 64 bit and the computer does not work properly; I need now the drive of 32-bit windows 7 original.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I wish I had some good news for you, but I did not...

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This means that the stock HP is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.
  
  Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

• Re: Reinstalling operating system on Satellite A100 without deleting the other existing partition

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-912 and have not reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP) for several years, but now I think that my laptop works well below par. I have my product recovery CD (disk recovery) and it will use for the re-installation.

  I have three partitions on the HARD disk (c, d and e, respectively).

  I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  I did this on a Toshiba Satellite L10 using suggestions in this forum, but I don't know how to do it on my own. Is the user interface for the recovery/re-resettlement is not the same thing, so I'm afraid to lose my data if I proceed with the re-install without knowing what to do.

  Could you please say on how to make the re-installation of operating system only on the c partition without deleting (data on) other existing partitions.

  Thank you!

  > I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  No, this is not possible. The recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and therefore the partitions created on the HARD drive would be so removed.
  I recommend you to create a backup of the files before starting the recovery procedure.

• Qosmio G20: I'll lose all reinstall operating system restore CD downloads

  I installed Vista on my laptop Qosmio G20 and am happy with how it works.
  If I use the recovery cd I lose all my I-Tunes downloads while reinstalling the operating system XP?

  You will lose if all downloads are saved on the C partition. Before recovery procedure starts the HARD drive (or chooses the partition) will be formatted and all data will be gone.

  Because of this data backup and install WXP using the recovery DVDs delivered.

• Qosmio G30 - need two Windows operating systems: Vista and XP

  Hello

  can someone help me on the following application procedures:
  I need two operating systems on my Qosmio: Vista and XP
  I have two drives RAID inside my Qosmio and I installed Vista on the first.

  I tried to install XP on the second hard drive and I did (I have inserted XP installation disk and sellected second disc for installation), but after installation I got just the XP startup option.

  I can see all the files of Vista on the first disc, but allows boot XP only. Directory Windows XP was intalled on second drive, but boot.ini and some system files have been at the root of the first disc.

  I liked Vista and I repeated the procedure (with my recovery CD of Vista) and now I have Vista on the first disc and all files of XP on the second disc. I do not study how to get full XP on the second disk bootable system.

  What I need:
  Vista on the first hard drive.
  XP on the second disk

  I would have completely independent Windows System. This means that I have to start selection of BIOS, not Vista or XP.

  Hello

  It's very strange. If you have installed the first Vista and XP as a second OS then the Vista boot manager must exist usually.

  Please note that Vista uses 2 partitions. A partition is not visible. I hope that you have installed XP on this partition.

  In any case, I recommend you to create a new partition on the first HARD drive and you could install XP as second operating system.

  After this installation, you can use applications freeware like EasyBCD or VistaBootPRO to change the Vista Boot Manager.

• Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

  I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

  I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

  I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

  1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

  2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

  Thanks in advance,

  W!

  Cheryl: thank you.  I had to google "active partition" and found how how to change active partitions, but I did not know after you change the active partition this restart start RecovManager...  Uh, excuse the "duh" question, but I guess you can't have a SINGLE partition active at a time, correct?

  The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

  «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

  The bios will not be affected.

  Hello

  Recovery media, I am referring to disks (or flash drive) that you create yourself using the Recovery Media Creator application on your laptop - you can create it once, so I would definitely recommend to do.  A guide on the creation of this support can be found on the following link.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-envy-X2-11/5296226/model/5336701/document/c03481733

  This support will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, all the original software (including applications on the start menu). They will also recreate all the original scores.  A guide on the main ways to perform a factory reset using a recovery or support of the partition recovery (including a video preview) can be found on the link below.

• XP pro will not validate: upgrade Windows 7 tells me that I need a valid operating system to install

  Can anyone shed a light on my dilemma please?

  I have a legitimate Windows XP pro (OEM version), purchased copy in good faith of Amazon.co.uk in March 2005. Everything I've done is update the motherboard on several occasions. The drive never left my possession, but which would have been, I activated XP pro 20 times! This time around (Christmas) I've updated the motherboard once more and now I was rejected validation by Microsoft.

  Yesterday (December 28), I received a phone call from Microsoft (possibly in India) informing me that they refuse to validate due to the fact that I broke the rules of my license.

  I was told that I GOT to upgrade to Windows 7!

  Reluctantly, it seems, I have no choice I'm not familiar with any other operating system.

  The only problem is now, it seems that I am not authorized to upgrade to Windows 7, I have not an operating system valid in order to allow the upgrade to run?

  Is this really the case? I buy the complete package as opposed to the upgrade?

  Can anyone help please?

  Dave :-(

  Probably motherboard changes have invalidated your xp license. An OEM license is not transferable to a new motherboard.  (a new motherboard is considered a new computer)

  You need a full commercial license in your situation. An upgrade license requires an activated license of qualification.
