• Installation of Windows no longer recognizes HARD drive

  I use a Toshiba M400 Tablet laptop.

  It came with windows vista business 32 bit.
  Shortly after I bought it (about two years ago) I installed buisness 64bits withuot a problem.
  I tried to install windows 7 RC on it, but does not recognize my hard drive install windows (it gives readers No problem Found).
  I (Hitachi HTS721080G9SA00) hard drive is SATA, and as I've already mentioned it worked perfectly on a previous instillation of windows - no drivers is through their website - they say that the drivers are included on the installation discs.
  I plugged the HARD drive on my desk and that you have installed 7 without problem, but as you can imagine when I put the HARD drive in my laptop it does not (blue screen on startup - modified hardware problem).
  Now, I have tried everything I have - business 32 bit, 64 bit, windows7 32 bit, 64 bit, none can find my HARD drive.
  My bios DOES not recognize my HARD drive and during mode diagnosis finds no errors.
  Can anyone help?

  Hello vurk,.

  Provide us with the exact error message and the error code (if any) and let us know the operating system currently installed on the laptop.

  The best measures possible I can think of without having the error message is:

  1) Perform Startup Repair

  To perform the Startup Repair:

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc:

  1. Insert the installation disc. 2. Restart your computer. Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart. 3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings 4. Choose your language settings, and then click Next. 5. Click repair your computer. 6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next. 7. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

• Pavilion p6000: reinstall Windows 7 on new hard drive

  My hard drive which is WD 500 G dead mechanically, then I delete it and bought a new 1 TB drive. I have my license key on the sticker window 7, but I have no recovery or reinstalling the drive for W7. I called HP, they redirect me to a vendor selling the recovery of files or W7 software. They advise me to have the same size of drive which is 500G.

  I need to know - is this correct? What I understand after gonethrugh previous post is:

  I can buy this W7 software or download free on USB/DVD

  Install this and put the key in the window

  It is at this point or I need drivers to load down? Or do I have to call Microsoft to validate the key because some expert says it is necessary to call Microsoft. Please notify. Thank you.

  @Harnai

  OPS.  My bad. 2 TB is what I wanted to say.  The post has been corrected.

  Thanks for posting on the forum.

  Hi Gordon

  I just downloaded drivers from the Dell website in support of xp

  I have tried to reboot from the XP cd but got the following message when I tried to install

  "This program is blocked due to compatibility issues"

  Program - the installer of Windows

  Editor - Microsoft

  Location: D:\1386\winnt32.exe

  Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the cd. If you decide to remove the version latest Windows that is currently installed the files and settings cannot be recovered"

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 and my agreement now bad hard drive to the Geek squad. My problem is that I'm not able to find my recovery disc and HP has no more of them. Do you know where I could buy the recovery disk?

  The official win7 ISO images can be downloaded here;

  http://www.w7forums.com/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-image-downloads-t12325.html

  You download the version installed on your HP, burn a dvd using ISO, software, the burning at the slowest speed, on quality discs, then install it using the Win Key on the label on your PC.

  You will then need to install specific drivers of HP, not of the preinstalled HP software will be at your disposal

  original title: activation problem

  -I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive.  He is now not letting me turn it back on.  What should I do?  I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows

  It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code.  But it is to say that it is not valid.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

  PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

  Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

  Call from Microsoft

  Has had a phone call claiming to be "Windows", claiming that my hard drive was contamintaed with virus (s)

  They then read me coorrectly code full windows of my windows disc cover, sounds scary!

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  Hi Carolinelightfoot,

  This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

  Method 1:

  You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Method 2:

  You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.

• Installation of Windows on a new hard drive

  I have a computer I want to get a new, more large hard drive. The vehicle currently has Windows Vista installed on it and the hard drive still works, I just need more space. What should I do to install Windows on the new drive? I will use the installation disc that came with the computer. If I get out the old hard drive, install a new one, put Windows on the new, then format the old one? Basically, I want to avoid having Windows installed on two hard drives to work.

  Hello

  the steps you have mentioned are correct:

  take out the old hard disk - the new drive hard install - reinstall vista - old erase hard drive

  You can then use a the old hard drive to backup your data

  It might make you save time and effort:

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
