• Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

  I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

  It was rather annoying.

  I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

  However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

  Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

  Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

  Thank you for your patience.

  I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

  But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

  Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
  You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

• HARD drive gone bad. How to replace the HARD drive and reinstall operating system without a recovery disk?

  I have a HP with Windows 7 Home Premium TouchSmart tm2.  The HARD drive is clicking and will not start.  Error: Device not found Boot.  I guess I have to replace the HARD drive, but how can I restore/reinstall operating system without a recovery disk?  Windows was preinstalled, and I have the product key.  Thank you.

  Hello:

  You can order a recovery disc defined by following the instructions on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

  or...

  You can download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows 7 Home Premium ISO on the link below and use your product key to activate the installation.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You need a program that will be able to burn ISO files so that the DVD is bootable DVD burning. Burn at the slowest possible speed for best results.

  Then install all the drivers you need for your PC support and driver page.

• Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

  OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

  Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

  Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

  I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
  or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
  others).

  The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
  Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
  to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
  Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

  To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
  and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisorhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  Also check the Compatibility Center

  I hope this helps.

• Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

  I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

  I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

  I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

  1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

  2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

  Thanks in advance,

  W!

  Cheryl: thank you.  I had to google "active partition" and found how how to change active partitions, but I did not know after you change the active partition this restart start RecovManager...  Uh, excuse the "duh" question, but I guess you can't have a SINGLE partition active at a time, correct?

  The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

  «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

  The bios will not be affected.

• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

• Reinstalling operating system and drivers only. Don't want any other software and tools...

  Hello

  I want a clean reinstall on my HP Mini 210. How can I reinstall the operating system and drivers only from the recovery partition? I don't want any other software and tools HP...

  P.S. I've done a reinstall from the recovery partition and then spend many hours, removal of unwanted and tools software, but traces of these programs remain anywhere in the registry, the Program Files folder...

  Here are the specifications of your computer of HP Mini 210-1077CA. According to the specification, this model comes with Windows 7 Starter, which is installed at the factory.

  Please see "Recovery discs to create or save an Image to a USB (Windows 7) recovery" for instructions on creating recovery media. See also "Using System Recovery, Factory Reset and Minimized Image Recovery Options" to determine if your computer supports the "recovery Image reduced" and how to perform this recovery option, if it supports.

  Reduced Image recovery does the following:
  Reinstall the original operating system.
  Re-installs all the drivers of original material.
  Reinstall the HP essential software (e.g., HP Support Assistant, HP Recovery Manager, etc.).
  Don't install applications for testing or trial games.

• Unable to recover the old data synchronization after reinstalling operating system

  Hello

  I was using Firefox 26. Recently, I've upgraded to the latest version. A few reasons, I had to reinstall my windows 7 OS.

  After I installed Windows 7, I installed the latest Firefox and tried to synchronize data. I was unable to connect because I forgot the password. I tried using the link "password forgotten", but he said there is no such thing as e-mail id. It was surprising to me. I'm still all emails, including the secret key, I used to add new devices earlier, since Firefox in my mail box.

  Since I left without another option, if I'm creating a new represent now on Firefox with old email ID. The account is created successfully. Again, it is strange to me. However, my old data are not synchronized.

  I need the old data. Help, please.

  -
  Thank you
  Ravi

  Sorry, Sync was not intended to be used to backup Firefox data before reinstalling the operating system. Its purpose is to synchronize several separate installations of Firefox, usually on the various devices.

  The old version of Firefox 26 uses another version of Sync, the latest version of synchronization happen in Firefox 29. The largest variation in sync had to do with the recovery key ('secret key') - is no longer something to see the user or has to deal.

  You should have installed Firefox 28 or earlier and then connected to your account synchronization to recover your data and then put updated for Firefox 32. By creating a new account with the same email address, your data has been wiped out by synchronization servers to allow you to start a new.

• Re: Reinstalling operating system on Satellite A100 without deleting the other existing partition

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-912 and have not reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP) for several years, but now I think that my laptop works well below par. I have my product recovery CD (disk recovery) and it will use for the re-installation.

  I have three partitions on the HARD disk (c, d and e, respectively).

  I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  I did this on a Toshiba Satellite L10 using suggestions in this forum, but I don't know how to do it on my own. Is the user interface for the recovery/re-resettlement is not the same thing, so I'm afraid to lose my data if I proceed with the re-install without knowing what to do.

  Could you please say on how to make the re-installation of operating system only on the c partition without deleting (data on) other existing partitions.

  Thank you!

  > I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  No, this is not possible. The recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and therefore the partitions created on the HARD drive would be so removed.
  I recommend you to create a backup of the files before starting the recovery procedure.

• Qosmio G20: I'll lose all reinstall operating system restore CD downloads

  I installed Vista on my laptop Qosmio G20 and am happy with how it works.
  If I use the recovery cd I lose all my I-Tunes downloads while reinstalling the operating system XP?

  You will lose if all downloads are saved on the C partition. Before recovery procedure starts the HARD drive (or chooses the partition) will be formatted and all data will be gone.

  Because of this data backup and install WXP using the recovery DVDs delivered.

  2 "Intervideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum for Toshiba" (comes with E10) will be able to see the PX1211E-1TVD so?

• Re: Questions about reinstalling Windows XP

  Hello...
  I have a portable satellite, and I must confess that I do not understand why everything should be formatted when reinstalling the system.
  I have several questions if someone could help please.

  Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?

  Thank you very much!!

  > Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  No, because programs written entries in the Windows registry and sometimes in the Windows folder.
  If you need to reinstall all programs after reinstallation of Windows.

  > If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?
  If you use the recovery disk will be formatted the whole HARD drive then back up your data first.
  After reinstalling Windows, you save your data on the HARD disk again.

  Hello

  Recovery media, I am referring to disks (or flash drive) that you create yourself using the Recovery Media Creator application on your laptop - you can create it once, so I would definitely recommend to do.  A guide on the creation of this support can be found on the following link.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-envy-X2-11/5296226/model/5336701/document/c03481733

  This support will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, all the original software (including applications on the start menu). They will also recreate all the original scores.  A guide on the main ways to perform a factory reset using a recovery or support of the partition recovery (including a video preview) can be found on the link below.
