New drive hard hard time see activation code.
Hi, I have just had a new hard drive for my dell XPS laptop and used a disc to install windows 7. My activation code is on the bottom of my laptop but I'm having a hard time to read about some of the numbers. I can't on my old hard drive because it is unbootable / unreadable. Thanks for the help.
Option 1:
If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.
Option 2:
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.
Option 3:
If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

HELP-Compaq Presario CQ70 - new drive hard = Nothing
Hi all, computer dummy here and I need help.
the Seagate Momentus 250 gb 5,400 RPM hard drive failed completely on my Compaq Presario CQ70.
I bought a new Seagate Momentus 500 gb 7,200 RPM.
I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop.
but when I'm the new hard drive, I tried to install Windows XP (that I don't have a Vista disc).
in any case, I inserted the new drive hard and drive XP OS then - NOTHING.
just black screen and after a while, blue screen saying windows has been closed.
When I go into the BIOS I do not see the hard drive and everything, but I can run a hard drive test and it passes.
I have removed and reinserted the hard drive and run the XP OS several times but still the same.
did anyone can help this old man so I can get my laptop up and working again.

New drive HARD &; OS errors->; HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
Can not install Win XP on another hard drive
I work with a...
HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.
In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
associated with software and Windows 7.
I know that the software works with Windows XP.
Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.
I get the same error during the installation of the OS. I tried different
SATA and different XP install disks.
The error I get is shown in this photo.Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB
I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
Seagate 500GB
WD 80 GB
I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
default settings.I get this error even with everything I tried to do.
This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current
written to the HD.
When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
expected.
Any ideas on what] s going on here?Hello:
The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.
Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.
Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.
The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.
The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller. If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.
Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.

How to replace a new drive hard satellite 1670cds
How to replace a new drive hard satellite 1670cds
do I have to remove the keyboard?
wath is the GB limitHi Theo,.
HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.
It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.
Good bye

I have announced a new drive hard into my laptop but I lost my pictures is possible that I can recover by logging into the windows photo gallery
When you replaced the hard drive, everything that was in the old man disappeared. Of course, because he's gone.
Reinstall your photos from the backup that you made before you replaced the hard drive. Oh, you save all of your date? Oops!

Guys,
I wonder if someone can help me.
I need to add additional hard disks to several virtual machines and use the vSphere PowerCLI v5.1 against a vCenter Server running 5.1.0b. When I try to add the disc using the cmdlet new-hard drive, I get the following error:
New-harddisk: all parameters can be solved using the specified named parameters.
On line: 1 char: 13
+ new hard drive < < < < - vm WinXpMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".
+ CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new-harddisk], ParameterBindingException)
The full syntax of the command to run is:
new drive hard vm - WinXPMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".
Thank you
PaulYou mix the different parametersets of the cmdlet New - hard drive settings.
In your case CapacityGB and DiskPath cannot be used together.

PSE 8 fails to run on the new drive hard iMac after Time Machine backup
I had to have my iMac drive replaced the week last in the replacement of the Apple program. After installing the new drive, I restored the whole Machine on the new drive Time backup. Most things work perfectly, but I get an error message when I try to run PSE 8. The error is 150:30 of error indicating "license has stopped working". I tried a number of things to correct this as described in http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html, but found that most of the FlexNet referring to article data does not exist on my machine, so I am unable to complete the recommended steps (I did the hidden files visible). Also the Flexnet files do not appear on the backup volume. When I try to reload the software with the original disks I have just the player to make some noise and then eject it. All the other CD/DVD to work as usual. Very welcome ideas
Download PSE 8 on trial download site and use your current serial number to activate it:

I can not format or partition my new drive HARD internal
I have a MacBook Pro late 2011. The other day, I was unable to boot and got the flashing question mark folder. When I command + R, my old 500 GB of HARD drive was not appear. I decided it was time to upgrade. I bought a Seagate 2 TB drive and installed it. I am now ready to install OS X on it. I am able to see the drive when I go into Internet recovery, but failure of attempts at partitioning and formatting. The error for the formatting is "wipe data on the volume to avoid future to probe accidental is not" and the error for partitioning is the same. I looked for answers and I tried all the solutions I could find, but I am unable to do the single user mode that I can't boot into it successfully.
Are there other options or ideas that guys maybe I can try?
I suggest that you consider getting an external adapter or place the new drive in an external enclosure. Install Mac OS X on this subject here. When you are satisfied with the way it works, and THEN do the transplant.
This separates from the software install the registry numbers, reduced the problem by half and the two halves solvable.
