• 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.

  
  

• 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.

• If my laptop broke & I had to buy a new hard drive, how to make Windows 7 on it? Do I have to buy a disc?

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

• New hard drive, need to install Windows.How to do?

  I installed a new hard drive in my Toshiba laptop. I've had Windows 8 before and would like it installed again, but don't know how? Buy a disc?

  You can download the files to install Microsoft here, but that will not include the special Toshiba drivers and software.  Without the special software of Toshiba, will not work a lot of things on your computer, such as your video driver and keyboard/trackpad.   You may be able to download the Toshiba drivers later on the Toshiba site.

  It would be better to just get the official installation disc Toshiba Windows 8, Toshiba can send you if you call them.

  Hello Edtannjr,

  Thank you for your message.  Remember that the operating system itself takes place and many OEM systems contains a recovery partition which can take up to a space as well.

• Install the new hard drive - how to proceed?

  My hard drive has bad sectors which (according to Spinrite) is not repairable.  I also ran all the HP utilities who tell me that the hard drive needs to be replaced.  So, I bought a new one that is the same size and the brand as what exists currently in my laptop.

  Laptop is HDX16 that came with Vista.  I upgraded to Win7 before realizing that my Imaging backups were a failure due to bad sectors.  The last good picture I have with Shadow Protect is the system with Vista and is now 3 weeks old.  Meanwhile, I use Norton Security backup feature to back up all my files on a daily basis.   I noticed yesterday that Win7 has a built-in backup feature imagery so decided to see if she would complete successfully and he did.  So now, I have a picture of the Win7 installation as well.

  I did system recovery disks for my laptop.  If I read information of HP correctly, when I run the restore, it will automatically create the partitions C & D on the new drive, install the recovery disk D environment and continues to run since that installation of Vista hard disk?  If so, once the operating system is running on the hard drive again, I think I can then move to Win7 yet and then use the recovery feature to copy the image, I made yesterday to the laptop.  Is this correct?  Am I missing something?

  Otherwise, my other option would be to run the recovery discs, then use the Shadow protect recovery disks to copy the old image of 3 weeks, then switch to Win7 again and somehow find all the files I have created/changed over the last 3 weeks I want to keep and they copy to the laptop?

  Any suggestions appreciated because this is the first time I installed a new hard drive.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It may be faster to simply restore the image of Windows 7 that you have created the new hard - to do this, you'll need to the Image and a Windows 7 repair CD (you should have been prompted to do this after you have created the Image of the system).  The link below is a guide detailing how to restore an Image of Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

• 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:

• Portege Z930-145 - unreadable HARD drive - how to restore Windows 8?

  Hello...

  I have buyed my cell phone 6 months ago in an online store.
  A month ago he kissed the sky and was ready for the scrap of hard drive. The support of the seller wrote, that it does not appear a warranty issue.

  Now I can not install the original OS Windows 8, which was preinstalled. Now, I have buyed a new hard drive and in time I use Ubuntu Linux. But I want to use Windows. No, my laptop has a license code.

  What can I do?

  Thank you...

  Sorry for my bad English. I am Spanish.

  Before anything please contact Toshiba service provider in your country and explain the situation. AFAIK you should get the new HARD drive.
  List of service providers that you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
  If you like it and I hope that they can explain how it works exactly.

  Back to your question: each laptop with pre-installed operating system (factory settings) a small tool which create recovery media. This recovery (DVD or USB) media can be used for the original recovery image installation. I assume that you did not create this recovery media, right?

  Anyway, if you want to have the settings to factory again, but you don t have recovery media you must order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• 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.

• Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

  To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

  Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

  Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

  Thank you

  Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

  (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

  (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

  (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

  (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

  Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

  The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

  Thank you

  You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

  Good luck

• new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x

  I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?

  You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.

  OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.

  Either way, you start the Mac.

  Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.

  Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

  Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).

  You can then improve it to El Capitan.

  If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

• Pavillion 1130sl g6: Hp Pavilion 1130sl g6 I need to restore my backup system on a new hard drive, how can I do

  Hello everyone,

  I need help on a problem.

  I had to replace the hard drive on my g6-1130sl Pavillion and now I want to restore my system from 4 DVD backup created with recovery system until my hard drive was broken.

  I downloaded from the servers of HP drivers and software available for my PC but I could not install HP Recovery Manager on the new hard drive because it gave me this error: "Softpaq does not apply to the system, without HP Recovery Manager installed.

  Is there someone who can help me solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Hey there!

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I understand that you can not restore your PC by using the restore disks.

  It seems that you did not follow the process of creating media recovery or data backup process.

  If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

  Please use this link to find out how to create a recovery media: http://hp.care/2byIEKi

  However, you can contact HP and get a set of system recovery disks.
