problem with re-installing windows 7

I had a hard disk crash.  Bought new hard drive retailer local (same HD that crashed) and installed.  Order the Lenovo recovery disks.  Tried to install via DVD-rom.  I got an error PXE.  I disabled the book of network from the bios.  I moved the DVD-rom at the top of the order started with HD then backed up and restarted.  I get a message "operating system not found '.  I can hear the DVD drive spinning.  Help, please.

Thanks for the reply.  After watching hundreds of solutions possible icies and talk with someone at lenovo, it turns out that the problem was the disk they sent was bad... ugggghh.  They sent a new disk recovery and magically, it worked.

    Hello

    I have a copy of windows 8 current running on my home pc, but I have problems with the PC, I need to reinstall windows 8 on another pc, I can do it without breaking the rules?

    Hello

    If you have a copy of Windows and installed on several PC, activation may not work because the product key has already been used on another PC, or it is used on PCs more than to let the Microsoft software license agreement. Normally, the rule for most copies of Windows is 1:1, which means that a copy of Windows can be installed on a single PC.

    If your product key is used on PCs to let the Microsoft software license agreement, you will have to purchase a product key for each of your computers in order to activate them.

    Separated from this thread.

    Joachim

    When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?

    KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?

    Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).

    By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:

    Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.

    My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    If this fails, it is a problem of ms.  If this attempt is successful, then reinstall your acrobat.

  • Problem with the Package Windows Installer... when trying to install ITUNES 9.2 and Quicktime.

    I bought an IPHONE 4 yesterday.  For more than 7 hours, I tried everything to download ITUNES 9.2.  I get the same error.  I spoke with apple as Microsoft.  I didn't PAY to get assistance from Microsoft yet and I hope I don't have to.

    Error: problem with the Windows Installer Package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your provider to support personal or package.

    I have Windows XP.  I uninstalled and re-installed Safari and which did not help (at one point, I had problems with Safari).  I also have at one point received an alert on 'applesync.notifier' could not be executed.

    I have no idea where from here, but I'm frustrated.  I want to use my phone for something more than "just a phone" and I can't.  I have to carry my OLD Iphone (1st generation original).  Help<><>

  • Problems with latest updates Windows (KB) do not install & repeated notifications via the taskbar icon

    Hello everyone,

    In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.

    Description of the problem:

    Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed.  I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history.  He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates.  The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night.  After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '

    To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.

    Corrective measures attempted:

    1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).

    2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message.  (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).

    3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB).  Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.

    4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked).  No updates KB mentioned above could be found.

    5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues.  (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).

    This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before.  On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.

    (Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.)  I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates.  They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.

    My questions to the community:

    1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?

    2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?

    System Specs:

    Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower;  WIN XP Pro SP3.  2 GB OF RAM;  3.00 gHz CPU;  Outpost Security Suite Pro.  MBAM Pro (on request only).  SAS (on request only);  SpywareBlaster;  IE8 & FF

    Thank you for your time and help, review!

  • Unauthentication problems with a Samsung Windows 7 Starter (installed in a DELL Optiplex 210 L PC desktop..) CD after detection... !

Thank you

    You cannot transfer an OEM of Windows version to another computer. It can only be used with the computer on which he came with.

    You must install Windows with a disk that came with the Dell printer, or buy a new copy of Windows.

    The OEM versions can only be used with the computer, on which it was initially installed.

    They are not transferable!
