New hard drive and try to reinstall the OS. Have discs of Hp recovery but fell in DVD player
Hi all,
I just put a new hard drive in my HP Dv7. I also ordered recovery disks. When I tried to put the disc in I discovered that my DVD drive is not working
My question is can I transfer the recovery on a USB disk and then from there?
I would be grateful for any ideas!
Thank you in advance,
Marc

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.

I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.
I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.
I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:
1. turn the pc power off and open the case.
2. remove the old hard disks
3. plug the new empty hard drive
4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive
5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device
6. install win 7 on new hard drive.
Is this correct?
Because my next question is important:
7. Turning off the computer.
8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.
Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?
How can I make this work?
Thank you very much!
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.
Any help would be appreciated!
Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
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.

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

No, at least not by us.
Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
sometimes use methods such as what you describe.But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
are all very expensive. It does not for most people.For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

New hard drive and cloning Windows asking for the password and end the session
Hi all
Need help please. I just bought a Cavior of WD 1 TB hard drive. I have used Norton Ghost to clone my old hard drive again. Then I removed the old hard drive and another to start the system. Currently, Windows XP was asked to enter the password (in my old drive hard, there is no password entry required). When I press ENTER, the windows log.
Also, I tried to log in after you have set a password using ERD Commander (locksmith). I get the same result, that is to say Windows log off after entering the password.
I am at a loss on how to proceed from here. I do not have the CD Windows XP that I bought this computer a few years and did not remember receiving the Windows XP CD. I don't have the product key which is glued on the computer case.
Help, please. I have to activate Windows again?
Ghost allows you to create a backup "Image", and then restore the image to the new disk.
Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world to help.

Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum! I have a laptop Aspire with Photoshop CS5 extended. The computer's hard drive crashed and so I had to get another hard drive! Obviously as the hard drive crashed, I was unable to disable CS5 extended before the crash. I have it charging on the new hard drive and in the meantime bought a desktop computer in which I loaded CS5. Updates have been working fine on the laptop. I tried to update the program on the new computer, but continue to receive error messages. I have read in any problems and think maybe computer laptop harddrive that crashed had CS5 yet on it, as I was unable to turn it off because I didn't know he was going to crash. I am only able to load CS5 on 2 computers and if it is still on the destroyed hard drive so I'm not able to turn it off and so I presume that is why I can not download the updates on my new computer. I hope someone can help me. I want to keep CS5 on both computers. Thanks in advance bunch Kara
