• had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

  My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

  What should I do to activate Windows successfully?

  Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?

  Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TH1 and TH2 had problems installing specific edition. Your key can be a simple language edition or one with Bing edition and therefore rejected by the installation of the edition of bad media.

  Windows 10 TH2 and later all the windows 8.x and 7 OEM keys are treated as Windows 10 keys. Edition installation specific issues have been fixed with Windows 10 RS1. The file .iso Windows 10 RS1 image is covering several editions. It contains all OEM editions and will automatically collect a key Windows 8/8.1/10 UEFI BIOS OEM System Locked Preinstallation and automatically installs the correct edition of Windows 10:

• Added raw lun mapped as a new hard drive, but VM does not see it.

  ESX 4.0 with two Windows Server 2008 virtual computer running.

  Created with SAN volumes and put at the disposal of the ESX host.

  I went in with my client vSphere virtual machine settings and added a new hard drive > mapped raw lun, stored with VM, physical and everything seems to set up correctly after hitting good. I also increased the size of the other two disks on this virtual machine. I rebooted the VM and connected to the server to find that he does not see the new drive, or he does not see the new size increases for other readers. I rebooted the host and yet, nothing new.

  What have I done wrong? Why these changes are not recognized by the virtual machine?

  After the increase in the size of disk or adding new disks, you must go the the VM Windows disk management and resize or format/partition/boot disks.

• Satellite L40 - 17 M - new HARD drive installed, Vista does not work

  Hi guys

  I installed a new drive hard 500 GB compatible and using the original toshiba product recovery disc, tried to install windows vista

  He partitioned the drive and got insofar as the message "starting windows for the first time", and after a minute or two, I got this message...

  "Windows Setup cannot configure windows to run on this computer's hard drive.

  I tried 3 times with the same result

  I am pressuming the recovery disc will perform a new installation on a blank hard drive, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated in fact as I have searched high and low on the internet for answers and have had little luck

  So using the disk Microsoft Vista has solved your problem?

• I get error no hard drive detected, so I put in a new hard drive. It does not work. What can I do?

  Windows XP Home Edition on a HP Pavilion zv5405us notebook PC

  And when I boot from the CD of the operating system it is to the point where I choose to install or repair.

  So, if I click on one of those who he says...

  Setup did not find hard drives installed on your computer.

  Setup cannot continue.

  I tried replacing the hard drive, but it was always the same thing, so I put the old one back in.

  I need to find a way to fix it.

  Can anyone help?

  Assuming that your laptop was manufactured after 2003, you can try the HP drive diagnostic tool, but it seems that if you have a more serious hardware problem: cable/connector from the hard drive is faulty or the on the motherboard disk controller has failed.

  You can see also solve the Start Up and No Boot problems checklist but that probably tells you nothing that you have not already tried.

• Had to reinstall my CS3 because of faulty hard drive. It does not accept my serial number as it says it is already used the maximum number of activations and says I should turn off. I can't as the hard disk failed! Please help.

  Had to reinstall my CS3 because of faulty hard drive. It does not accept my serial number as it says it is already used the maximum number of activations and says I should turn off. I can't as the hard disk failed! Please help.

  Have already tried to contact Adobe and they told me to reinstall the program. I did this and the same issue. It's crazy. I can not turn off something that I did not more...

  Thank you.

  No - I had, of course, tried all these things. Finally, I had someone (after several days) on the personal chat group that could fix and it did it in a few minutes. Too bad that nobody else seemed to be able to do. Adobe is very soft.

  I can't thank enough the other person - it was amazing.

• Qosmio F30 - installing the new hard drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive on my Qosmio F30 - he came originally only with a 60 GB hard drive.

  The second disc is identical to the first in every way, i.e. of 60 GB drive Toshiba.

  I initialized the new drive and it also shows online and unallocated. I want to use the reader to basically increase my quality, not like a mirror and so chose this option using the RAID Utility.

  However when I expelore the C drive, it shows than the total capacity of the drives as 60 GB. I guess that both drives should be showing as a player, like 120 GB.

  The drive works properly?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can check in the BIOS if the second HDD is recognized correctly

  As you say you don t want to use a mirror mode, but then you must set the RAID0 stripping!

  Please also check the settings of the BIOS RAID!

  At page 242 user manual you will find all the details on the different options and what they are for

  Sidwright,

  I don't advise borrowing software is not legal.

  Try this instead and explain your situation to a live person.

  1 / click on the Start button.

  2 / in the Search box type: slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3 / in the find window available for activation phone number, select the nearest location where you lie in the location box. You can click the arrow to the right of the location box to expand your choice of venues.

  10 / now you must follow the instructions issued by the automated service to activate your copy.

  11 / if, after going through this process, the activation service informs you that the product cannot be activated and then DO NOT slam the phone down in rage. Rather STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an Activation of the device, in other words, someone real who will help you to activate your copy of Windows Vista.

  12 / I am aware that these steps can be a pain, but nine times out of ten, Activation is automatic and can be accomplished quite easily on the internet.

• I bought a new external hard drive, but it does not appear in the library mode.

  One of my external hard drives is almost full. I would like to move some of the photos from the old to the new one that I just bought. The new external drive appears in Windows Explorer, but does not appear in Lightroom.

  I use Windows 7 and Lightroom CC.

  Hi Loyce1023,

  In order to see the most recent external drive in Lightroom, you must either import some images of the most recent disc.

  Or move some images of the old drive to the more recent, outside of Lightroom, and then reconnect the images from Lightroom.

  Kind regards

• Replacing the hard drive T60 - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello all, new to the community of Lenovo. I have a T60, but also the latest Lenovo Edge. HD crashed on the T60 and it will boot is no longer. I just bought a 500 GB WD without doing a lot of research. When trying to install Windows 7 (I had already updated the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thanks in advance for any help.

  Looks like you're doing something wrong, if the drive is a SATA it should work, install it and boot from your windows installation DVD and it will be the installation drive and shaped for you, or you can optionally set the partitions manually when you are prompted to do so. If you try to do something unusual such as transfer windows on the old drive then you will need to explain exactly what you did because I see no reason it should not work. Infact I did it several times myself.

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.

• External hard drive detects but does not open without formatting

  I can't open my external hard drive. In computer science, it shows just K of disk space, but there is no reading of storage. It says 0 bytes of free space and used as 0 bytes space as it will not be open until I have format. Any kind of help, please let me know. Its a backup disk that have been most hard, though don't know if its of any help.

  Hi Deborah,

   

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing right now. I will help you on that.

  Formatting a disk means configuring the disk with a file system so that Windows can store information in there. Usually, when you install a new hard disk on your computer, it must be formatted with a file system, such as NTFS, Windows can store files that it contains.

   

  Please answer the following questions so that we can better help you.

  1 - is the specific problems of a hard drive?

  2. is it the problem persists when you use different USB ports on the same computer? If 'yes' then tick the question in another computer and let know us the results.

• Tecra A9: HARD drive write Cache does not work

  Hello!

  When I try to activate your hard drive write cache, it does not work:
  I can check the box and press OK, but when I go back to the dialog box the box is unchecked.
  The event log shows a warning: "the driver disabled the write on the device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 cache.

  This slows down my laptop. I don't want to work without the write cache.
  What can I do?

  Greetings,
  Christian

  Hello

  did restart you your machine after checking the box? Usually, you must first reboot the system when certain changes.
  On the other side, you know this microsoft article? You should read:

  This could probably explain why windows leaves the box unchecked...

• When changing the 80 GB to 40 GB HARD drive, Satellite M40 does not recognize the drive

  Hi all

  Thanks for coming in! :)
  I recently source two-disc 40GB 2.5 "IDE and intended to run one of them in my Satellite M40.

  The problem starts here:

  (1) I took the original 80 GB hard drive & install the 40 GB hard drive
  (2) start and put in the Toshiba M40 recovery disk
  (3) display screen 'Y' for recovery blah blah blah thing...
  (4) then the screen shows 'cannot be installed because no hard drive found ".
  (5) I boot in the BIOS using F2-> F1, page 2 shows no hard drive

  (6) I try to use my own CD of Windows XP Pro, same thing (as in no hard drive found)
  (7) and the BIOS too show no hard drive found

  The two disk 40 GB is out of mobile work and they formatted it, partition deleted with NOTHING on it. They have also been tested on other PCs (using the converter) using WXP. Two of them work very well!

  Now, the weird thing is that I just can't make it work at least in the Sat - M40. Why is this? Toshiba locked the M40 being one Toshiba-disc is usable?
  Is there a place to get through it? Hidden BIOS?

  I have fixed a large number of PCs, but I can't with this, Please HELP...
  Any response would be appreciated, thanks! :)

  Hello

  The M40 should be able to use 40 GB hard drives with no problems.
  But you must use hard drives with the right interface.
  To my knowledge the M40 supports hard drives with an interface IDE (ATA-6).

  So be sure that your 40 GB HARD drive supports it.

  By the way; Check if your HARD drive supports the good master or slave definition.

• Qosmio G20-139 of the United Kingdom - TV tuner does not work in Libya

  Hello

  My name is m, k, sh I live in Libya.
  I bought Qosmio G20-139 until now it works normal but I would not use this pc to look at the possibility of using satellite channels. I get only the small screen in the screen of my pc.

  In the operating manual of the said (tv tuner may not only work in the country of purchase. means to the United Kingdom only)
  My equation, what can do to solve the broblem.

  Can I install any software for example or another TV tuner?
  The tv tuner in this pc, what they said is integrated.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think that the UK tuner will not work in Libya due to different video standards. I m talking about different settings PAL and NTSC.

  In your case, it would be desirable to use an external USB DVB - T tuner (if DVB - T is available in Libya) that supports PAL/NTSC in Libya settings.

  I think you have to look at some stores for local laptop/computer and should ask a few merchants for details.
