• Tecra M7 - new hard drive won't let me re-enrolll my fingerprints

  I just got the laptop back to the shop today, where they made all these repairs including replacing my old HDD (80gig) towards a new (160 GB). I'm ecstatic that it is fluid, but as I started to change the user to the old name of the screen, put in my new password for locking up, I went to re-register my finger prints.

  He seemed to be very well at first until I tried to slide my fingers. each finger, he says, you cannot save this finger as it is already registered.

  And I'm sitting there, thinking, how is this possible? It's a brand new hard drive. So I tried to just swipe my finger normally and he says there are no fingers enrolled, you wish to register now? Then. I'm just a little confused...

  Perhaps the old HDD would be copied to the new.
  However, you can try to reinstall the software of fingerprint you can find on the Toshiba site.

• Windows 7 disc to a newer hard drive cloning lose my activation?

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive to upgrade my drive hard aging / slow / small running windows 7.

  I am considering the current installation using clonezilla newest hard disk cloning.

  After reading the FaQ of Activation of windows 7, it states that I'll lose activation with a change in hardware (motherboard) or if I change the hard disk and memory at the same time. I could be wrong, but I guess that if I just upgrade the HDD, I will be not necessary to reactivate windows 7. No other hardware changes apply except the hard drive.

  The question is, if I clone my partition to install windows on the most recent hard drive with clonezilla, I lose my activation? Are there other methods recommended to do?

  Thank you

  I doubt that you will find it, I don't think that it's been published, and if that were the case, she would probably quickly be taken. I don't think they want to know exactly what triggers it or how much time between activations rings the bells!

  There are many threads here with this info, and it's easy to find elsewhere. So, on pain of having that message changed:

  Every piece of hardware is a point number - if you change too many and exceed a certain amount of points, you will need to reactivate Windows. Don't know the exact number until he'll force the reactivation, but usually replace only part (other then the motherboard) doesn't require reactivation.  Information of product key, in the form of the product ID, is sent with a hash value 'material' (a non-unique number generated hardware configuration of the PC) to the Microsoft activation system during activation.

  Windows product activation checks eight different categories of equipment:

  * Processor & serial number
  * IDE adapter
  * VSN and hard drive
  * Amount of RAM range
  * Graphics card
  * Optical drive
  * SCSI adapter
  * Network adapter

  This is related to the issue:

  Product activation prevents users to change or upgrade their hardware.
  Not true at all. Users can change or upgrade their hardware. One of the forms of piracy which warns against product Activation is hard disk imaging. Not all forms of hard disk imaging are illegal. Where a pirate copy data from one PC hard drive to another to illegally run the software on two computers, Product Activation, which stops by forcing the copied software is reactivated. It does so by comparing the hardware on which it has been enabled for the hardware on which it is now initializing. If the material is significantly different, then reactivation is required. If it's the same, or similar, then the software will continue to work. Those who their PC hardware upgrade substantially may be asked to reactivate. For this reason is easy and can be completed by contacting Microsoft to obtain another confirmation ID.

  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.

• Initialize a new hard drive

  After a new WD 1.5TB drive has been installed as a slave, went to the management of records and initialized it. The reader is displayed and whether it's online, but no drive letter is assigned. Also there are no options for formatting by using the drop down menus. If I right click on it, the format option is gray. Where should I go here in order to format this drive, since it is supposedly now initialized?

  Have you installed drivers (and firmware, if appropriate) for the new hard drive?  Go to start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check to see if you can see the new drive.  Double-click the drive for more information.  Make sure that said tjos devoce os works correctly on the general tab (the first to appear) and confirm that the device drivers are installed and have no conflict.

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / management of records and right click on the new drive.  Click Partition Active (which is hopefully not grayed out).  As soon as she is Active I think the Format and options to change the drive letter or path must turns off (a-grey).  Otherwise, reboot and go back and see if they are now available.  Then you can format the drive (I recommend NTFS) and then you can assign any available drive letter.  When you go to Windows Explorer, you should see a newly available player.

  I hope this helps.  Please feel free to post back is that you have other issues.

  Good luck!

• Portege R500-11Z: recovery disk to help prepare a new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I put in an envelope with the USB cable before installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a new copy of Windows XP before you get out of my existing hard drive.

  I'm looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it SEEMS that it should be possible... EXCEPT...

  I discovered that on the recovery disk there is an executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should, in theory, restore the contents of the disc to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time, and then survey the error - System Volume Information already exists.

  Any person proposing the deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of the XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr. Google if you don't believe me. I also tried this with full of this folder write permissions so that, in theory, could replace recoUNPACK...

  I would be very grateful if someone knows a way of "forcing" crush the System Volume information folder or another way to 'restore' the recovery of my new hard drive disk (other that disassemble the laptop and substitute physically the disc!).

  I have reviewed various options for establishing a USB bootable drive, but as I will adapt it in my laptop I don't want running all versions of XP - so using the recovery disc supplied with my odd R500. All bootable USB I can find only programs, fat32 format, and I would stay in NTFS...

  And the reason why I want to do it this way, it is that I want to continue to use my existing hard drive until the news is ready - its supposed to be an effective way to work... but so far the time wasted, trying to restore the disks could have been better spent undoing the screws on the rear of the machine!

  Thanks in advance

  > However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time and then lift the error - System Volume Information already exists

  Hmm the right path and the letter of the partition or volume entitled did you use?

  As far as I know that the command should show something like this:

  + recounpack.exe d:\imagename.tpa z: f +.

  (z: is the letter of your external USB drive and may be different in your case)

• Qosmio X 500-warranty with new HARD drive?

  I purchased a Qosmio X 500 last month (warranty: 1 year)

  If I change my hard disk and install my own Windows 7 on it, I lost my Toshiba 1 year warranty?

  Thank you!

  Hey,.

  Don t be to worry about this! You will not lose warranty if swap you the HARD drive and install another operating system. These easy updates as HARD or RAM drive poses no problem, but don t disassemble the whole laptop.

  By the way: If burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can install the Windows 7 preinstalled on the new HARD drive too :)

• Equium A100 - will be the responsibility of recovery on a new HARD drive disk

  Hello

  Don t know if anyone can help, I am just out of warranty by a month and I think that my hard drive has failed, or I had a virus that has hit loads of files and the PC is always eager to run the disc scan and still get errors on commissioning, sometimes start even goes just right to start mode then crash again and again the same thing.

  I have the recovery disk, but this is not sort on the question, so if I get a new hard drive the recovery disc will actually load on a new HARD drive? Why don t Toshiba just give us the full operating system to start with?

  Someone has answers or similar questions that could help please let me know.

  Concerning

  Of course, you can use a recovery with new HARD drive media. No problem at all! Swap the HARD drive and install the operating system using recovery DVDs. All that s!

  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.
