• New hard drive try to install Windows vista but it keep suspended after 60% and collapsed them

  New hard drive try to install Windows vista, but it keep suspended after 60% collapsed I tried a few time every time I had to wait for 5 hours, but the same thing happen again and again can help you pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

• I have to buy a new hard drive for vacuum. a recovery disk will replace my windows vista?

  my hard drive went out on me completely. reads as 0 bytes. lost everything on it. a system recovery will work on a cool new hard drive?

  Yes, the recovery disks installing Vista and original software/drivers on a new hard drive. Just be sure to get a hard drive at least as large as the original capacity. It may be big, but not small ability more. I wouldn't go with one of the new large capacity hdd format advanced however.

  If you create recovery discs when you got the computer, you will need to ask the manufacturer for their recovery disks.

• Desktop a6530f Pavilion, new hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7

  I have a desktop Pavilion a6530f with Vista.  My hard drive has been the production of errors, so I bought a new hard drive.  The original hard drive works pretty well as I should be able to create a recovery with a usb flash drive media.  I want to install the new hard drive (Seagate 1 TB SATA 3), and then install Windows 7 upgrade on the new drive.  Will be the ASUS M2N68 - LA / Narra3-GLBE motherboard supports SATA 3 (SATA 2 pilot courses)?  If Yes, where can I get the drivers?  Is there a Web page on the HP site for upgrade to Windows 7 on a new hard drive?  Or I just follow the guests after boot of the Windows 7 upgrade disc and enter the code of Vista product from the label on the side of the PC?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6530f. Based on the specifications, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. This model supports the use of disks SATA 3, however transfer speeds will be limited to the rates for the motherboard SATA 2. No special drivers are required. Seagate 1 TB SATA 3 drive should work fine on this computer, but you may have problems using your HP recovery discs if the new drive is a Format "Advance" AF drive.

  It is unlikely that you will be able to create a recovery media on a USB FlashDrive with this computer. In my view, that this model only supports the creation of recovery DVDs.

  You have a choice of a couple of paths when it comes to the installation of Windows on your computer with a new hard drive installed.

  (1) use your HP Vista recovery disks to install Vista... This may or may not work depending on the new hard drive installed. Then, upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

  (2) If you don't mind losing the "value-added" software HP originally installed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 without using Vista installed first. Install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Do not enter the key during the installation of the window) (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

  In both cases just follow the prompts as needed. I suggest to use Windows 7 SP1, because it seems to be more compatible with the new material, including readers of the AF.

  Please see HP - upgrade to Windows 7 customer care using basic upgrade or install Windows 7. Please see HP Forum - how to install Windows 7 without the disc for useful information and download for Windows 7.

• Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

  Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
  I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
  Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

  It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

  You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

• New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

  Hey guys,.

  I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

  The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

  I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

  After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

  Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

  Would be great, if someone could help me.

• Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS

  Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings.  Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.  I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.

  Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere?  I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.

  It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:

  Hello

  First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  ***************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) 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.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  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.

• New hard drive LG Canada E300 Windows Vista Home Premium Laptop

  I change my old HDD SSD hard drive. OEM is more portable computer sales and support for laptop.  There is a recovery on the old HARD drive partition, but I don't know if I can use the recovery on the new SSD partition. How can I install Vista with existing license key?

  Hello

  As you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system on the new HD.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  ___________________________________

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  Open your Start menu by pressing the Windows key and type FEATURES in the search box. Select 'Windows turn features on or off ". When the Panel opens, expand the category "Media Features" and place a check in the box "Windows Media Center". You may need to restart after Windows reconfigures itself.

• Failure hard drive replaced by larger windows disk hard recovery 7 starter will not work

  The Emachines Nav51 of Netbook had a hard drive fail completely. WD 160 GB instead of replacing the drive with the same size of the extra couple of dollars so I installed a 320 GB WD drive. Had a set of recovery disks shipped from Emachines, but due to the size of the disc it does not recognize the correct system.
  But then installed on setup Windows installs the services that it stops and an error box goes up requiring you to restart the installation from scratch. But then runs into an endless loop does the same thing over and over again.
  How to get windows 7 edition starter on this system.

  Hi Dave,.

  Thanks for the updates.

  I wish to inform you that there is a difference between the installation disc and disc upgrade.

  However, there is a solution that will allow you to install Windows 7 on the computer.

  Step 1: during the installation, when you get to the window where you enter the product key, uncheck the option that requires the product at the bottom of the window key. You can use the same disc of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

  This will install Windows 7 without product key, you must activate it later.

  Step 2: Activate the phone.

  Check out the following link and follow the instructions in the section: Activate by using the telephone.

  I checked the drivers download page, but there is so much to choose from for download.

  In addition, a link to the drivers for my sound card would be extremely useful as those who seem too gone too!

  I hope you can help!

  > I cannot now connect to the internet (wireless option is not even showing as available in network connections) and next to the ethernet in devices, there is a yellow question mark and a mark of exclamtion beside him.
  You certainly have the WLan driver.

  You will find all Wlan drivers:

  Sorry but there are a number of models of Equium A100 and therefore it s not possible to tell which driver WLan you have without knowing the model number.
