New hard drive gets the INVALID disc Windows 7 64 bit upgrade product key!

I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and within 24 hours, my hard drive is dead. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium with 64-bit disc. Everything went well until the time of the entry of the product key. When I typed in the key of this program returned an INVALID KEY message and instructed me to check and retype the key, I did. Product key message invalid was repeated. I have not installed a previous version of windows before you reinstall 7, and the installation program never asked me to check my right to use the upgraded version (Yes, I used the CUSTOM install method).

The INVALID PRODUCT KEY message due to the absence of an earlier version of windows is detected on the new hard drive? I need to install my OLD version of windows before proceeding with Windows 7, can I? Please help me understand what is happening with this PC. I convinced my sister to be upgraded because Windows 7 is SO much in my PC, so that she bought the upgrade disc and tried for a week to get its system works as well as mine has inlaw for several months. I have not heard of someone having this much trouble with the upgrade to Windows 7.

Product keys don't care equipment. They only care about the version of Windows that you are trying to install. (However, you cannot validate a facility later but this is another topic).

If your product key is rejected, then you are two typing errors or you are using a key that does not match the DVD that you are using. This could happen if you use a MS Office key for a Windows installation to a key of Windows 7 OEM for a DVD retail of Windows 7.

    First chech that the BIOS is configured to use the CD/DVD drive as frist boot device.

    Then remove the old drive and only connect the new drive.

    Start the PC and insert the CD that you created and boot from the CD.  If there is a "Long full" test, which is that you need to perform. Also check the SMART data (look for bad sectors).

  • When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

    Hello

    Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
    And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

    http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html

    I don't know what to do!

    Original title: destination path too long?

    The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

    The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

  • After using Norton Ghost to clone new HARD drive, get the message «This is not a real Windows 7»

    Hi, I used Norton ghost 15 clone my old original (750 GB) to a new HDD (1 TB) hard disk, all seemed well, start in windows 7 from screen, but when he arrived at the office, there was a line saying "this is not a genuine copy of windows 7" and nothing shown on the desktop but a light blue background. I have my Win 7 DVD, but there is no way to indicate to the system on my product key.  I'm stuck on a blue screen.

    After seeing another suggestion to use MGAdiag, I created a new boot disk and it linked the diag.  The output is cryptic, so I guess that I have validated only my new installation and there is no obvious way to point to the other disk.  But the output is lower.

    a non-genuine windows will work almost normally and would not lead to the symptoms you describe. In my view, the notice is by other problems that you have.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

    Product keys are not sold separately, "retail" versions of Windows are products in box with installation support 32 and 64 Bit and plastic a card inside the box that contains the key. Anyone who sells the right key is most like a crook.

    Since Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7 about 2 years ago, it is very unlikely, you can find media "Retail".

Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

    Kind regards

    Yoyo

    Hello

    Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

    Please see the following link for more information.

And finally at boot up to yesterday, its giving me this message "Pri Master hard disk: extended S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 for cont...» »

    Now, I realized that I need a new HD and that one is not usable. What I was wondering, is it possible to keep in touch no matter what service provider Toshiba in order to get the new HD cos this machine is almost brand NEW.

    Can someone give me an advice what to please, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Edward_4,

    I agree with you. You need a new HARD drive as soon as possible because it s not recommendable to record data on a failed HARD drive.

    In any case, it should t be a problem. You must contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Technicians can order a new HARD drive for you and Exchange. This should be free, because your laptop is under warranty so it s age of a few months.

    On the Toshiba site is a list of all s ASP. This seems to be your interlocutor ;)

  • Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

    My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

    Not found boot device

    Please install an operating system on your hard drive.

    Hard Drisk (3F0)

    F2 System Diagnostics

    "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

    I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
    "HDD test failed.
    There is no hard drive.

    I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

    SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

    It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

    Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

    Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=QQx7PlIXFuE

    Hard disks are a small fraction of the cost of a laptop and if your what it takes to, I would say that to replace the hard drive rather than buy a new one.

    It is an excellent drive at a great price:

    Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

    You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...
