• Install Windows 7 on my old hard driver will remove all existing files from my Windows Vista install?

  OEM of Vista to Windows 7 OEM

  I am trying to build a new office, but I reuse my hard drive from my old build considering that 64 bit OEM vista installed I know it won't work with the new construction, but my question is, installation of windows 7 delete all existing files or replace only vista?

  To add about the Bill, you must use a copy of Windows 7 retail.  OEM copies are not for end users to buy and install.  OEM System builder packs are governed by the System Builder License, and you must be a system integrator that sells computers for customers to use.  A person who built a computer for personal use is not a System Builder, as defined by the license.  Such a person can be called a -your-self or anything you like but Integrator system is defined in the license:

  'Authorized distribution and acceptance. To distribute the software or the hardware in this Pack, you must be a System Builder and accept this license. "System Builder" means an original equipment manufacturer, assembler, a repairman or a software pre-installer that sells the customer to a third party systems. »

• Transferred XP hard drive to external usb box. Records showing as empty on Win 7 64 system read external drive.

  I can see the folders but contents show as empty. Visible hidden folders option is checked. This drive was my first drive on my old computer which had XP 32 bit. I took the car and put it in a external hard drive Bay, so I could keep my files.

  Getting a family system Windows 7 premium, I am able to see all records, but very few files. Hundreds of pictures that worked on my old computer are now showing "empty folder" when seen on my external hard drive and the new operating system.
  I tried all the hidden and sharing files options that have been suggested. I do not erase all images on the disc, and now maybe 6 hundreds of photos show with all records showing as "empty".

  Help, please.

  Hi Carlscott,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

  From your problem description, I understand that you are not able to find the files on Windows 7, after the transfer of files from Windows XP hard drive to external USB box.

  (1) what anti-virus program you use on Windows 7?

  (2) you try to connect the external USB box on another computer and see if you can find the files?

  You can deal with this problem because of the Virus on the disk external drive or USB key. If you use an Antivirus program on Windows 7, it will automatically delete the files infected by the virus.  In other words, that there is a risk of data loss. You may also experience this problem if bad sectors are found on the hard drive.

  Step 1: I suggest you run this Microsoft Fixit and check if it helps.

  Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

  Step 2: Download and run the latest Microsoft security on the computer Scanner and check if it helps:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Step 3: I also suggest to check the hard disk for errors.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

  Please follow all the steps and if the problem persists, return back and we will be happy to help you.

• After changing hard drives on my Toshiba laptop, won't activate Windows Vista.

  I have two laptops Toshiba Satellite, I bought new. Due to hardware failures, I changed the hard drive of a laptop in the other. Everything works fine, but now the Panel / System states that I have two days until automatic activation. He also said whenever I try the option activate the invalid product key! The Microsoft product Authenticity sticker is more readable on the laptop where the hard drive was born. In question operating system is Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Help, please!

  original title: activation problem?

  You can buy a full license of Windows 7 and install it, but make sure that your computer meets the Windows 7 system requirements

  You need a qualification license Windows to upgrade; you don't when you moved the hard drive.

  You don't say what the problem is with the hard drive of the laptop you are trying to install this hard drive Vista preinstalled from the other laptop in.

  If you bought them at the same time, two thay have Vista Home Premium on them?

  Why not use this laptop you try to go there and his original hard drive, if still OK.

  If its hard drive is not OK > you can then put this "non-genuine" hard drive in it > reinstall the correct version of Vista that is pre-installed on the notebook computer > then purchase an upgrade to Windows 7 If you wanted to.

  One of the posters put this Information in place in the Forums:

  And most importantly make sure that Toshiba has Windows 7 drivers available for your model laptop activate Windows 7 works correctly.

• Dell Inspiron 530sand by Kodak ESP5 all-in One Printer not detected in Windows Vista.

  Original title: cannot find the printer

  I have a s 530 Dell Inspiron and a Kodak ESP5 All in One Printer. The problem began earlier this year when attempts to print failed because of "jobs in"

  the pipeline "or something.  No matter what I did the same blocking returned.  I emailed Kodak and they spent ages uninstall/re-installing the

  software all for nothing helps.  Then I tried the automated Microsoft Fix it Center but I got nowhere so eventually abandoned.  Now I need the printer again only

  This time, I can't find any sign of it on the computer.  The icon at the bottom right has disappeared and when I bring to the top of the order page and click

  Printers, an empty box appears.  The usb cable has been replaced and tried other usb ports.  Nothing.  I tried the Fix it Center again and if

  anyone from Microsoft read this, was sent around in circles.  By clicking "Run" tells me there is a temporary outage preventing the Printer Wizard

  operating for two weeks?  And try to communicate with the web home page has a similar result, I like my email address is registered, but when I use it

  told me to use another, who is also rejected because the first is already registered. All this may be my fault I'm semi illiterate computerwise

  If no one can say why won't the computer to the printer, I would be very grateful and more if the answer was in terms laymans

  My thanks in advance

• My dell inspiron 530 built in webcam is not detected on Windows Vista

  Since my computer crashed and I had to re - install all the CD that came with my computer, the built-in webcam and microphone can not be detected by the computer.  I think that the driver can be in a place where the computer does not find it.  Can anyone offer me any advice?  It has been a long time and I really miss my webcam and the ability to use my Audacity to record my own music.
