• Operating system on the new hard drive recovery

  Hello

  The hard drive of my Satellite 1900 303 hangs almost (SMART), and the warranty has expired.
  Can I put a new hard drive in it and use the old recovery DVDs to put Windows XP on it? (I suspect it works only on the original hard drive)

  Thanks in advance,
  Randy

  Hi Randy

  You can do it. Features of the different operating system Toshiba tools don t depend on HARD drive.

  Change the HARD drive and install the OS using the Toshiba Recovery CD. This will work. If you have any problems please write again.

  Good luck!

• Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

  Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

  Any advice would be very welcome
  Thank you

  I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

  I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

  Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

  If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

  Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

  I hope that you have succeeded.

• How can I transfer the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Toshiba Satellite C850D-11F, Windows 8.1. Out of warranty

  The hard drive is no longer achievable and will have been checked and declared "Kaput". I can get my hands on a fresh drive. But how to save the operating system that came with the laptop. Toshiba provides a free license? Is it possible that the licence can be transferred. I have the serial number etc. on the sticker on the back of the laptop.

  I assume that you did not create recovery media, right?

• BOOTMGR is missing message when you try to load the operating system on the new hard drive. How do I get past this?

  I had a bad hard drive and replaced. When I turn it on now to load the ISO of Windows 7 disc, I get the message: BOOTMGR is missing / Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

  I tried, but it just comes back and won't look at the CD/DVD drive to start loading Windows 7. What should I do?

  Check your BIOS settings, the CD / DVD drive must be set as the 1st boot device, then the hard disk as the 2nd boot device. Exit and save your changes in the BIOS. Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer, then you should see a message "press any key...". "to start from the DVD, press the space bar and wait for Windows to load from DVD, then follow the instructions in my first post.

• How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

  My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

  When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

  I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

  I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

  Thank you

  The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

  You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

  Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
  
  First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

  Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

  Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

  Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

  Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

  It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

  If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

• How do we install the operating system on a new hard drive?

  Hello

  I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disc supplied with my notebook, but while the laptop was working fine for a few days there is now an error message when I try to load windows, something along the lines of "image error, check the Setup disk.

  I did something wrong?
  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Installation on the new HARD drive is very easy. All you need is Toshiba Recovery disk and you must boot from that disk to begin the installation. Everything is done automatically and factory settings are restored to the new HARD disk.

  It work?

• I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

  I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

  You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

  1. First display the hidden files and folders:
     • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Wi.../Show-hidden-files
  2. Then go to:
     • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
  3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
  4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
  5. Then restore from them:
     • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

• Installation of operating system on a new hard drive

  My compact presario v4832ea hard drive just died yesterday. It's a Toshiba MK8025GAS - 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive - 5 400 rpm, 2.5 inches of width, height 9.5 mm. Now I think to upgrade to a bigger, but I don't know if I'll be able to use the installation CD of Windows Xp with a hard drive to a different size. I am fearing a message in the sense of "can not install operating system. Incorrect hard drive size.

• e9260f: recovery disks don't recover the system with the new hard drive

  Hello

  I am installing a new hard drive in my desktop e9260f using the recovery discs, that I copied when I bought in 2009.

  -using size hard drive 1 TB

  -It will accept all 3 recovery CD then said full restoration and will ask you to restart continue.

  -for the re-start, it says 'update registry settings' then "the Installer starts services" then "installing devices" to 100%, then immediately error and said... 'installation of windows could not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers', then click 'ok', then the following error starting says "windows cannot complete the installation.  To install windows on this computer, run the Setup again. »

  What I tried then...

  -Start Windows repair... no luck

  -J' have changed the SATA contoller in the BIOS, DCIS of RAID and re-tried the recovery process of 3 disc set with the same negative results.

  "- I also know the cyberlink disk recovery utility sp44645.exe in the section downloads hp... which States.

  As you suspected him of Microsoft Support this error give AF and Windows 7 without SP1 discs.

  One of the workarounds, you already tried changing BIOS AHCI RAID. In your case, it did not help.

  When doing a clean install with a retail disk would give you the ability to load drivers before installing the OS. Using this method, you would be able to install the Intel RST drivers, but you will not have this option when using self created the recovery disc.

  You can't convert a drive AF [4K sectors] on a non - AF [512bytes sectors] drive.

  Maybe to order HP recovery disks will solve the problem.

  Or worse, you would have to buy a Windows 7 SP1 retail disk.

• HP Mini 110-3130NR and the new hard drive - how to create an image and use it?

  I want to replace the current hard drive to my HP Mini 110-3130NR of a new SSD.

  Ideally, I'd like to copy the disc hard integer on the SSD and then just swap hard disks (create a picture of the current hard drive work in the SSD).

  Otherwise, I have an external USB hard drive, so I could save the contents of the original hard drive and restore the image in the SSD. The problem is that HP Mini doesn't have a DVD player/burner, and I fear that it does not start via a USB device.

  Any help is welcome. Thank you.

  Respect!

  OK, all these programs did not help ast all, they still have some problems with SSDS (I tried an Intel X 25-M SSDSA2MH080G2K5 and an OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G).

  This is so the fix for the problem, all you need a 4 GB flash drive.

  In Windows XP, Vista or seven plug the flash drive into the computer, open a command window (type cmd in the search) and type:

  DiskPart

  In the window that opened type:

  list disk

  Find the number corresponding to your USB key and type the following commands, replacing X with the number corresponding to your flash drive:

  Select disk X
  clean
  create the primary partition
  Select partition 1
  assets
  format fs = NTFS
  Assign
  output

  Then insert a DVD Windows Seven of INTAL, open the command prompt and navigate to the "Startup" folder in the Windows 7 DVD.
  Starting inside this folder, run the command:

  Bootsect/nt60 W: - replacing the W with the letter assigned to your flash drive.

  After that, simply copy the entire contents of the Windows 7 Installation DVD to flash drive, drive to the computer with the newly installed SSD and start from the flahs player.

  Enjoy!

• How to reinstall the operating system after the broken hard drive partition?

  Hey guys, lately my HARD drive goes down, during the factory restore. I install a new blank HDD in your computer now. I can see my old HARD drive recovery disk, but cannot get it back.

  I have finished the form of recovery disk, but my warranty expired a few months ago as :( I have the product key that came with my cpu, which is window 7 Home premium. You are not sure if Dell will send me a recovery disk, if I have to buy a new window, or if there is some way I can restart the recovery partition?

  You can perform a new installation using a .iso from Digital River and the program ABR:
