Need to reinstall the new hard drive - will resume disc do this?

My desktop came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, I paid the extra to receive recovery disks.  I upgraded to Windows 7 and I'm sure the disc.  My hard drive crashed; If I install a new.  Can I use the recovery cd to install windows?  And if so, should I start with Vista and then go to 7 or I can just make 7?

You should be able to use the new hard disk recovery disks. Yes, it would be recommended that you start with Windows Vista, first, you do not need to reactivate Windows Vista, just proceed to install Windows 7 on Vista.

You may need to reactivate by phone:

  • Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

    Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

    I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD.  With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.

    DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS

    Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message

    Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

    Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

    Why not install the operating system?

  • The new hard drive will interfere with user passwords?

    I replaced my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron (Windows Vista Home Basics).  The new drive will interfere with my user passwords?

    Mona

    Hello

    You do not say what user passwords you talk, after replacing the hard drive which will be then require you to reinstall the operating system

    If you refer to the online user passwords (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), they will remain the same.

    If you are referring to your Vista account permissions to access, with a new hard drive and you reinstall the operating system, you will need to put in place all the user accounts and passwords user again for them.

    See you soon.

  • R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs

    I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51.  There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery.  After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge.  It does not load Windows.  Is there anything else I need to do?

    Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.

    As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere.  Worth, perhaps,

  • With the help of recovery on the new hard drive disks

    Hello

    I have an old t160.uk of Pavilion.  The hard disk starts to sound a bit grumpy.  I have a spare I want to replace it with.  Can I create recovery discs using the partition, and then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp on the new drive? or the recovery disks only works on the original hard drive?

    See you soon,.

    Hirroshi wrote: what determines if the new hard drive will be compatible with the recovery disk?  Could I connect the new hard drive in another Bay and try to use the recovery disk, before removing my old hard drive?

    Hello Hirroshi, it seems that drives hard very little HP only work in an HP computer, or so I said. I think it has to do with some code that HP puts in the Master Boot Record, but that's just a guess. I read on the Forum that this is the case.

    I suggest that you delete the partition on the replacement hard drive, and then create a new partition and format the hard drive. You should be able to use the recovery disk, if they are not damaged and that you have a valid burn.

    You can try to install the replacement hard drive in the system you propose, and it can work very well. It's certainly worth a try.

    Here is a link that shows how to perform a recovery facility when a hard drive is replaced.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • How to reinstall it on the new hard drive

    Inspiron One my 2330 client hard disk is dead. Obviously, it will not be a recovery partition on the new HARD drive that I installed. Because the Microsoft Windows 8 activation key is embedded in the BIOS, how will I be able to activate the operating system if I install a DVD if there is no recovery logic to tell the installation routine where the key?

    Thank you!

    The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS. It will be automatically entered 10 TH2 Windows installation media. If you are prompted for a product key however then you have used the wrong edition of the the Windows 10 TH2 so must use Windows 10 TH2 only language:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    Note Microsoft indicated the end date for the free update is in ~ 3 days, you will need to clean install Windows 10 TH2 and activating online before this date.

  • Satellite C650 - reinstall with the new hard drive

    Hello

    The hard drive in my C650 just died so I put in a replacement, and the problem I have is that I never create a recovery disc for my laptop.

    I tried to use the windows disk 7 I got with my desktop, but when I boot it I get the error ' A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a flash driver diskette drive, CD, DVD or USB, please insert now. ".

    So, I downloaded the driver for chipset support page and excerpts to a flash drive. The installation detects these drivers "ICH9" on my USB, but after loading them, I always get an error ' no new deices could be found. Make sure that the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media. ».

    I checked the bios and the new hard drive is detected without a doubt.
    Is there anything else I can do, short of ordering toshiba recovery disks?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The message
    > ' Required the reader driver CD/DVD is missing. If you have a flash driver diskette drive, CD, DVD or USB, please insert now. ".
    say that your CD/DVD drive is not detected.
    So you need to check if the BIOS so the CD/DVD drive is listed. It should appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If you want to boot from the disk and then switch on and you press F12.
    Usually, a menu should appear that allows you to choose the ODD (CD/DVD)
    Choose this option and try to boot from the CD.

  • Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

    Hi all

    My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
    It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
    The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
    Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
    Thank you very much.

    Concerning
    J

    As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

    As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

    The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?
