Pavilion p6537c: Dead Win 7 C drive, should I go direct to 10 for a new disk? Ideas on data recovery?

Question: Installing an operating system on the new replacement drive:

750 GB hard drive on my Win 7 Home Premium desktop is completely dead. [See data recovery? below.] With regard to the new replacement unit 1 TB, I don't have recovery discs (my bad) and can get a USB bootable HP for $30 in 5 days.  But if I will Windows 10 in any case, would it not easier to simply direct that, assuming that I can download from the MS site?  Is this possible or do I have a valid Windows installed before 'upgrade '?  I have the serial number of windows etc. since it is a 64-bit licensed machine Win 7 legit bought new at HP.  There cpu: AMD Phenom II X 4 830 (D) 2.8 GHz and 6 Gig of RAM. Tips appreciated!

DATA RECOVERY question: C drive would not start at all in a local computer store and they refer only to the people of data recovery. Any ideas how I could do this, or at least try, me? Otherwise, any suggestions on the most cost-effective way to get what I can (if any) out of the disc?  I don't have an idea as to why/how it has failed or the status of the Board at this point.

Thank you very much!!

From W10 v1511 that you do not have to enter a key when it is stored in the bios, W10 will find that during the installation, so you can just go right to the 10 and spend 8 installation.

Even if it is not stored in the bios, you can enter a product key valid W7 orW8 during installation of W10 and he will accept it.

  • Tecra M3 Win 2003 Server driver problems

    I just (this morning) put his hand on my new Tecra M3. I installed Win Server 2003 and problems with some drivers. With the lack of drivers 2003, I downloaded all the drivers XP and have been installing them without any problem, except the following:

    Toshiba Configfree, DVD RAM, Mic effect, Extensions, Mobile, Wireless Hotkey and Intel Wireless LAN a / b and b driver Intel Wireless LAN a / g driver.

    These all come with an error something like 'not supported on this operating system.

    I also have a PCI device that cannot be identified - (yellow? in Device Manager).

    Finally, I get a windows script host error when I boot - program Toshiba Toshiba management Console\toshealthlocals.vbs, line 31, 1 tank, found 80041002 Code, Source SwbemService *.

    If someone could shed light on the lack of drivers for 2003, or suggest a way around it and also a solution to the management console fuse, I would be very grateful!

    Hello

    Tok is fair, but you should notice that Toshiba don t sell laptops with a Win Server 2003 OS and there is no official support for this. Sorry, but in my opinion, that it won't be easy to make it work properly.

    Hello

    What follows is certainly not what you wanted to hear, but it is frank and honest.

    There is no support for Windows 7 on your laptop. If you were able to get to the top and running, so you were lucky.

    The only provided HP drivers and applications that are available for your laptop are for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    You can try to install the Coolsense driver in compatibility mode, but there is absolutely no guarantee that it will work.

    Just as it says on the download page of Coolsense, "this feature is available on mobile phones supported running a supported operating system." Unfortunately, your laptop is not grave in either categeory.

  • Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

    The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

    I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

    What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

    Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

    Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello.

    On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

    «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

    SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

    Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

    For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

    WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

    WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    See you soon!
