New hard drive has been marked as active.

Original title: I INSTALLED a HARD DRIVE EXTRA AND ACCIDENTELLEMENT RENDERING ASSETS. IS THIS A PROBLEM? HOW DO I UNLABEL IT?

MY NEW DRIVE IS C N. DRIVE IS ALSO ACTIVE.COMPUTOR STARTS FINE FROM C. WHAT SHOULD I CHANGE PLAYER N NOT ACTIVE?  HOW DO I DO THAT?

OK thanks for the help. I can stop worrying in this regard.

I think it's possible, but it is marked as active will not harm your computer in any way and should not cause any change, so I see no reason to make it inactive.

If you absolutely need, for some reason, I could give you a guide, but it involves the use of diskpart, which has the ability to format the partitions. So, if you did something wrong, you could find yourself with a partition formatted or deleted.

  • Hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but couldn't get the windows genuine back 8

    Original title: recovery of original windows 8

    When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.

    Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.

    Hello Vishal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

    See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

    If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

  • the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

    I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

    Hello:

    There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

    What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

    This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

    That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

    Here's how...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

    The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

    Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

  • HP Recovery Kit will re - install Vista if hard drive has been replaced?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope that I understand.

    I bought a HP Pavilion s3050uk of second hand compact office, product number RY930AA.

    The only OS on it is a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate, little time to expire.  I knew when I bought but I was just able to reinstall Vista Home Premium using the HP Recovery Kit and the number of product key from the COA on the PC sticker.

    However, I think now that the HARD drive has been replaced at some point - my machine has a 200 GB (Seagate ST3200822AS ATA) and I think that these machines haven't shipped with a 250 GB?  Now, I'm worried that I will pass on the recovery kit but it won't reinstall Vista because the hardware has been changed.  If it is probably the case of others has experience then I may as well save my money (which is very tight at the moment, where the 2nd hand PC) and put it toward the purchase of an operating system package full.

    Hope someone is able to advise me.

    Thank you

  • My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It has worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy

    My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy. I used the original product key, when I rebooted it. Ideas?

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.
  • Dell XPS 410 HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally.

    HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally. I'm not interested in the stored data, I want to just go back to the factory settings.  Operating system is Vista.

    Thanks for any advice.

    You will need the recovery media you do when you received the system - attach the flash drive or insert the first disk in the backup media, power and press F12.  Start since the media and follow the prompts to reload the factory software image.

    If you do not prepare a media defined in advance, you will need to contact the customer service Dell to buy a game now - they are in fact not able to provide Windows Vista at this stage.

    Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.

  • My hard drive has been replaced, now PE does not work!

    My laptop was having problems, which ended in my motherboard and hard drive being replaced. Before doing so, I basically copied my entire hard drive to an external drive. I copied everything then back on my laptop with its new hard drive, but now when I try to open PE it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. The problem is that it is not technically installed on the new hard drive! I have no way to uninstall it! What should I do to get it working again?

    More information:

    It's first Adobe Elements 9.

    I use Windows 7.

    I have no access to my old hard drive (just what I copied on the external drive to backup/storage).

    Given that I copied all of the hard disk, the program and everything with it's on my new, but I can't figure out how to uninstall or reinstall.

    (I have the same problem with Photoshop CS3 Extended, if anyone can help me with this too.)

    You will need to work around the problem that it won't let you not uninstall first. You may need to go through the instructions to remove manually, here - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/manually-remove-photoshop-elements-9.html.

    I have a laptop HP G62-225DX with Windows 7. My hard drive died. I think to buy a new one. A new hard drive for HP already installed Windows 7, or I have to buy Windows again?

    Hello

    A new HARD drive will have no operating system - you'll need to use your set of recovery disks to install Windows 7 on disk.  The procedure is detailed in the document of HP here.

    If not create you these discs or have lost them, you can order a replacement set using the link below - the cost varies a bit depending on where in the world you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.
