ONLY copy Windows 7

Hi, I want to copy windows 7 disk a hard nine, but ONLY windows 7, not my programs and other junk, because the reason why I got a new hard drive has been because the old one I had contained too many programs it slows down and the hard drive was having problems, and I want just a clean slate but still be able to access my old hard drive, if necessary.
Thank you, GmanPC, get back to me soon!

If the key of the laptop is OEM (check the label), there is probably a complete picture of the laptop in a recovery partition. If so, you have two options. You can run the recovery utility that will rebuild your drive existing as it was, remove all unwanted programs new construction and then that clone on the new disk using system image utility.

You can also check to see if you have an application on the disk to create a recovery disk. Create them and then swap the disk and use the disks to rebuild your system to the new drive.

These two create a new installation of windows based on the integrated system manufacturers license key and are not in the key on the label.

    installation of El Capitan in a mac by usb, but only using windows to create the USB

    I'm having a problem to install el capitan on a mac book pro 2009 has changed (dead) to an ssd HARD drive

    I can't find that any information how to do this from a windows machine (now only available) of the old system had the lion as I was told and when trying to install lion line or wireless it says it isn't available now so the machine is stuck without an operating system.

    If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, I would suggest bringing your MBP to and asking to help. For USB, you need to partition and format to allow to boot on a Mac, what Windows can not do. Then either create a bootable installer or install OS X on USB and then copy the installer it, boot from it and run the installer with the SSD as a target.

    Hi Matthew79,

    What edition\version of Windows you are running on the computer?

    Normally the games can be installed any number of times on the same computer with the product key provided. However, if you install the game on another computer be considered wrong licensing.

    Contact the game manufacturer for further information on licenses and buy the game.

  • When I switch to 20 of Firefox, I can open only 1 window of Firefox using Windows XP

    Using Windows XP with SP3
    If you use Firefox 7 I am able to open multiple windows of Firefox
    When I switch to 20 Firefox I can open only 1 window of Firefox

    How am I able to open multiple windows of Firefox using Firefox 20?

    Firefox (or Windows) display an error message if you try to open a second window?

    Or is the problem change the menu (orange button Firefox) compact in Firefox 20? In Firefox 20, new window is now a choice secondary on the new tab, as shown in the attached screenshot. Historically, I press Ctrl + n, I didn't notice that until that earlier.

    Edit: For the record, it is indeed Firefox 21 in the screenshot.

  • Re: Satellite C660D-102 - how to copy Windows on DVD?

    Hello people. I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660D-102.

    The seller told me to copy Windows on DVD soon to open the laptop. Don't know where to take the Windows installation files. You have encountered this problem? How can I solve this problem.

    Hey,.

    I think that the seller meant to create the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. In the case where you can start t more Windows or the drive HARD must be replaced, you can use this disk to restore Windows with all the drivers and tools. With other words, you get factory settings back, the same settings as you bought the laptop so it of very useful and easy.

    You can create this disk if you start creative media recovery Toshiba which is preinstalled on your computer. According to the installation, you need certain blank DVD media. I recommend high-quality mediums, type: DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. They work well and others here can recommend them also.

    Last but not least, you should also read your user manual. It contains interesting information on this subject and other interesting things. It s also preinstalled on your laptop. :)

    But it s really great, the seller gave you an indication in this regard. If you check the other forum discussions you will read a lot others that they forget to create this disc and are not able to restore the factory settings if Windows could not start.

  • Touchscreen driver works only under Windows 8

    Install Windows 8 on HP Touchsmart 520 is really a nightmare. Usually, the display driver installation procedure and Voltron Touchscreen product error 9998 drivers. Oddly, I managed to somehow work around this by using a different display driver (some beta-version of Intel), but it was buggy. Since the reinstallation of Win 8 I can't to install more touch screen driver. Given that the Touchsmart series sells on its touchscreen capabilities and given the fact that HP relies on the Microsoft OS is not only slightly irritating that HP has so far not been able to provide drivers of devices that work well with Win 8 Release Preview. What solution do you offer me? Wait? Back to Win 7?

    The pilot (Nextwindow Voltron Touchscreen) updates automatically after the installation of Win 8 RTM when you only run Windows Update routine. At least in my case it did, and it works fine.

  • Why whs 2011 installation gets stuck to copy Windows files on the HARD drive?

    I try to install WHS 2011 OEM on a HP EX470 software.  I have tried about 30 times without supervision and welfare facilities in the past 4 months and am very frustrated that I can't succeed and purchase the software was a waste of time and money.  I tried 4 hard drives, properly formatted capacity of 250 GB to 2 TB.  EX470 has the original 1620 AMD processor and 2 GB RAM upgraded and qualifies for the upgrade to a 64-bit system.

    Problem with installation assistance tries: Installation says "Copying Windows files", but after a variable time in hours of waiting, growth remains at 0% and finally says "error in installation.  Try to restart the installation.  Same thing happens with the help of the DVD, or by using a Sandisk Cruser formatted and made bootable 16 GB flash drive with a file cfg.ini the instructions online and also tried without the cfg.ini file.
    Problem with unattended installation attempts:  Process completely blind.  Does not install even if left for 24 hours.  Cannot decipher the flashing lights on the Flash drive and thereafter, no installation nor evidence of partial installation is visible on check the hard drive on another computer.  I suppose that the same thing as the installation attempts assisted.
    Looked for solutions online for 4 months, but nobody does the problem of Windows not to copy the files to the HARD disk during installation and what goes wrong.

  • Intel Wimax 5350 works only with windows 7/t400

    As someone who uses the Server 2008 on my desktop, when I received my t400 a few days ago I hesitated at the idea of using vista.  so I decided to download and install windows 7 64-bit (Vista 32 bit... I did an install own good... I think).  I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the drivers wireless in windows 7 and, indeed, intel States on their site that windows 7 will automatically install the drivers for the card 5350 wireless.

    Unfortunately, during the installation of windows 7 was complete the drivers were not installed and I don't have access to the internet.  I therefore had to take my Office Wireless usb adapter, then plug it to access the internet.  Windows Update has not fixed the problem.  so I installed the visa of intel 64-bit drivers and windows told me that my wimax device has been recognized, the drivers have been installed, etc.

    except the wireless card still does not work!  He is currently under listening network cards as area network/2 connection cable unplugged/intel wimax link 5350.  I do not understand... should not it listed as being a wireless network connect as is my usb adapter?

    I think that the problem might be that in Device Manager, I don't have a driver for the controller network, serial port pci or pci simple communications controller.

    It is quite frustrating and I really regret not putting more thought in this installation of windows 7.

    Thanks for the help

    I have a T400 with 5350 Intel and Windows 7 x 64, I downloaded and installed the

    Intel PRO / Wireless and WiFi Link drivers only for Windows Vista * (3298 KB) and the

    Intel® utility connection WiMAX PROSet/Wireless for Windows Vista * 64-bit (9206KB) from the Web site below.

    Furthermore, my "Intel(r) WiFi Link 5350' and ' Intel WiMAX Link 5350" listed in the "Network adapters" category, I have not any category 'Wireless Network Connect' at all. "

  • Cannot copy Windows.old to an external drive

    I did a custom Win XPx64 Win 7 upgrade in which emerged the Windows.old folder on my C: drive. I'm trying to copy Windows.old to the root of a USB external drive using Windows Explorer. The process finishes almost but then the message "Destination path too long. The file names would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path. "The options are Skip and cancel. There is a checkbox "do this for all current items (75 found). There is no indication of specific files causing the problem so I don't know if I can safely ignore these files.

    How can I copy Windows.old without having this problem? (I then want to delete Windows.old in C: to free up disk space).

    There is no need to backup the Windows.old folder, all you need to do is make sure that your personal files that may exist in have been copied to your personal folders in Windows 7, then delete.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
