Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.
I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

I suggest that you run the Startup Repair tool and check if it solves the problem:

I suggest Download driver network card on another computer, and then transfer the file using any flash drive and even install in the computer you have challenged.

Hi all
My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.
Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?
Thank you
Richard
Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!
Thank you

original title: my hard sucks
my hard is damaged in some portion.can, I changed the new hard drive and reinstall Windows vista with the existing product key?
Hello
Yes, you can reinstall vista with your product key on the new hard drive
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista

I have ownd Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard (serial number < removed >). I bought new about 3 years ago and have my original CD, box and the serial number. I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows 7 original. Everything is OK. Now I'm trying to reinstall my Acrobat 8 legally bought and paid for, but he says that it cannot connect to Adobe to confirm my serial number and gave me only 30 days use because it is not registered.
Help, please

HDD problem IBM Thinkpad T42. I can't install NEW Hard Drive and NEW OEM Windows XP?
Hi all
When I turn on the notebook Windows XP starts up and everything is loaded. But after 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. If I click on any window and try to open any folder, or open internet explore it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to respond. I tried several ways to scan disk and Defrag, but still that are of no use. I also tried 'Difficulty automatically File System Errors' and ' will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors ", but this problem is still there. Even when I stop it takes too long to stop about 15 to 20 minutes.
When I turn on again NEXT DAY Windows XP starts and everything loads quickly. After 5 or 10 minutes, the response is very slow. This problem occurs for a few days.
I then used "IBM Rescue and Restore" to load fresh operating system. Still the problem does not get fixed.
Can you get it someone please let me know if this is problem of hard disk or something else. I'm guessing it's related to the hard drive.
If it is the drive hard problem how to save (clone) of this old hard drive AGAIN DISK (after buying) HARD.
If I buy the NEW HARD DRIVE and CD/DVD of NEW OPERATING SYSTEM OEM VERSION it will work? Do existing mother board ALLOW to load a NEW VERSION of OS OEM?
Thank you
Contact the manufacturer of your computer, IBM and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

Can I format HARD drive and reinstall Windows 7 on the Qosmio F60 without CD
I think my hard drive is faulty on my F60 Quosmio so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and the information with me at the moment so I don't know if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Whatever it is, I don't have the CD.
I found on the net that most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during startup. Anyone know if the F60 Quosmio comes with a CD or if she has this recovery partition or partition image factory? Or do you know if there is a way I can check if my computer is it?
If you have more information about the formatting of the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 without the CD please let me know.
Thank you.
The laptop came with a Windows disc, because there is a Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool which create the recovery disk.
The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the laptop without the use of the recovery disk, but it does not work if the HARD drive has failed.

How can I replace a compaq presario C762NR hard drive and reinstall windows?
My friend brought me his computer and said that he would not start. I tried to boot into safe mode and normal mode and it would not work. It would simply flash a blue screen and restart. After you run a test it is determined that the hard drive has failed. A new laptop is not an option at this point.
I bought a new hard drive and I ordered the HP recovery disk. What are the appropriate steps to complete this replacement?
The computer is out of warranty and so is the hard drive. The computer has Windows Vista on it. The failed hard drive was 160 gb, 2.5 ", SATA 1.5 gb/s, 8 MB cache. The news is the same except that it is SATA 3 gb/s.
This is my first time, replacing a hard drive. I'm confident about it, but I want to just make sure I do it correctly.
Hello
All you have to do after replacing the HARD drive is the following.
Start Notepad and open the CD/DVD drive. Insert the first disc of recovery. Hold the power button until the laptop stops. Press the power button to start the laptop that should now boot from the recovery disk and start the recovery process.
Kind regards

Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?
A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.
RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives. RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks
RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices. It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.
In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.
