• How to contact Microsoft? to order a copy of windows XP to reinstall my operating system damaged?

  I have an old Compaq laptop that was purchased new with Windows XP Home Edition installed on it.  Over the years, he became so slow that I can't do more.  Is it possible to contact Microsoft and get a replacement OS cd in order to format the hard drive and restore it to its factory condition?  She does not meet the requirements for an upgrade.  And I just can't see spending the money to BUY another copy of Windows XP Edition family.  Help, please!

  Microsoft does not support or replace support for OEM operating systems installed, you will need to contact Compaq (HP) for replacement disks.

  Sorry, but we don't have access to your PC, so we have no way of knowing how much damage was inflicted and (therefore) have no way to answer your question is to how to be saved.

  We need to know if your PC comes with preinstalled Win10 or if you upgraded a previous OS and if so, the version of the previous operating system.

  What we can do here is provide some troubleshooting steps you can take.

  First thing I would do, is try to follow these guidelines to confirm the hard drive is OK: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

  If the hard drive has failed, you will need to replace and order HP recovery media to restore your PC to working conditions, and until you have done, there is little value to test anything else.

  If the hard drive has not failed, here are a few troubleshooting steps you should try:

  HP Notebook PC - hardware failures (10, 8 Windows) screening | HP® customer support

  Black screens with no start-up or start-up error message. HP® customer support

  Regarding the Win10 install media, you can make a DVD or a USB key from this link: install Windows 10 using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

  NOTE: Be sure to select the SAME version of Win10 that was running on your PC.  When downloading on the original PC, the tool knows which version is right, but since you're using another PC, there is no way of knowing that.  IF you download a different version, it will NOT be activated.

  If you are not able to run ANY diagnostic because you cannot wake the portable computer, then your only recourse will be to send or bring in a HP repair center to fix it - and it the laptop is not under warranty, which can be very expensive!

  Here is information on Service Centers: HP Notebook PC - use a repair center certified HP to repair a laptop | HP® customer support

  Good luck

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  According to the page of the product HP for your PC, it came not with preinstalled Win10.  THIS means that you have done the upgrade to Win10.

  While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!
  
  If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

  The problem you mentioned is usually due to one of two basic problems:
  (1) defective hard drive
  (2) damaged/missing bootloader files
  
  As to the first, please follow the instructions in this link to test your hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024
  
  If that confirms that your drive has failed, then you will need to replace it.  Please report back if this is the case.
  
  As for the second, you need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.
  
  Once you have that, please download and create the Win10 installation media from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10
  
  Note that when you download and build install media, the default tool corresponding to what is already installed on your PC (as in home for the House, and 64-bit to 64 - bit).  While you CAN change these settings, are NOT. If you do, the media that results will be different and will force you to enter a NEW product code.
  
  Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanced-startup-options-boot-windows-10-a.html
  
  You will need to go to the Advanced Options screen and click on startup repair.  You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.
  
  Once completed, your PC should start OK.

  Good luck

• Is there a limit on the number of times you can use a disk operating system Windows 8 pro?

  So I got an operating system disk with my laptop, I used a disc of Windows 7 on it. My brother has used the disc 8.1 on its newly build pc, it worked. When I tried on my new pc it says that some files are missing or damaged. I wonder now if you can only use it once.

  Hello

  You can use several times on THE same machine. You can install on many machines, but you can turn on a SINGLE machine. In your case, the system thinks you want to update and it will not work. You must purchase the upgrade dics (DVD).

  Kind regards.

• Laptop computer without an operating system

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my laptop. He informed that I don't have an operating system installed. Where can I see my hard drive?

  Hi Jack,

  I assume that your error message appears when you try to boot your system, in which case it would seem that you master boot record is damaged on your hard drive.

  You can, of course to restore your system from your recovery CD, but that it will return to its original state, and you will lose your data, unless your drive has been partitioned.

  If you want to access your data on your hard drive you will need to a CD (or bootable FDD) that will get you access to attempt to recover your HARD drive.

• Re: Serial number down would work with the other Windows Vista operating system

  First of all sorry for my English.
  I have one question.

  My hard drive is broken with my recovery partition.
  If I download windows vista and install the system with my original serial number on the laptop, this will work or should I activate it after installation.

  I hope it's the same number that the front is installed on my first installation.

  Hello Marcin

  I doubt that the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the device works with another Windows Vista operating system. But it s worth a try
  You could test it I heard it's very rare cases it was possible

  In any case, if your HARD disk is damaged and it of not possible to create a recovery DVD using recovery software Toshiba disc creator, then you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

  If the warranty is valid the HARD drive should be replaced just for free. If you need only the recovery DVDs, then you can order it here:

• What operating system is used on the readynas RN10200?

  I need to know what is the operating system of the system, and how I can access! I think it is probably Linux and am ready to install on a laptop so that I could access the readynas's Chitlins. I am totally not familiar with SSH and do not know how to use it. But what I've read, it would be a way to access. Someone let me know what are the procedures I need to follow to access the system.

  BTRFS is the file system, not the operating system.

  In regards to the operating system, ReadyNAS OS 6, it is based on Debian Wheezy. Yes, we use Linux.

  You can use PuTTY (SSH/telnet client free) on Windows or Terminal on Mac/Linux SSH in to the ReadyNAS. SSH is a service that you can activate under system > settings > Services. As IX has mentioned you can do a lot of damage if you don't know what you're doing, then you must think carefully if you really want to use it.

  There is an OS 6 VM available ReadyNAS, you can experiment on: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=70699

  Note that the virtual machine is x86_64 while your 102's ARM so some things will be different, but if you break things to do something in a virtual machine, then you will know not to do on your 102.

  Hi Jasmine,.

  You can buy a recovery disk set of HP or an HP partner online.
