• Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

  Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

  Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

  Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

  Help, please!  I'm really stuck.  THX JimmyC

  Thanks for your post... I solved my problem by installing the update driver Intel rapid storage through this link:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  I suppose that as long as the hard drive is lower 250Gig you need not the new driver.  But when I replaced my hard drive failed with a disc 500gig hard - when I did restore HP to Win7 and the OEM software from the dvd, I bought - it put the storage driver original in Win7 - which works very well with a 250 GB drive, but causes the windows update doesn't work is not for readers more than 250gig.   When I installed the driver from the link above file, Windows Update started working - and you can imagine there are many, many fixes since my PC has been restored to original Win7 - doesn't not even Win 7 SP1.

  I hope it helps someone else... thank you for your message.  JimmyC

• Clean hard drive and install Windows 7.

  I have a packard Bell desktop computer that was originally installed Windows Vista. When I bought it, I downloaded and created via the site of Packard Bell recovery disks. But last year, when I tried to recover my computer with disks that I realized my recovery disks did not work properly and I couldn't get my computer back. So I decided to buy Windows 7 instead of buying Packard Bell recovery disks. I was using my computer with Windows 7 until today. Today when I tried to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the software I could not install them because the error message said that there was not enough memory in the assigned disk drive. How can I clean all old Windows folders and other files in order to empty the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 software?

• Since the update of Vista on my external hard drive problems

  I have a problem with my external hard drive. A week ago I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC. Everything worked very well, my external hard drive, too. But after installing all the new updates and SP2 my external hard drive has problems. If I copy something from her, or just listen to the music is recorded on it, so overall if I work with her, after 1 to 3 minutes it stops working. I have to sign in to get access to it again. But before installing SP2 updates after SP2 everything worked out very well. So I think that there is a problem with SP2 or the following updates. My Pc is a Dell Dimension 9200 and the external hard drive is a Verbatim 1 TB external hard drive and USB 2.0

  I tried to bbot with Ubuntu and delete the Autorun.inf. Now everything works fine again.
  Thank you

• Repair shop wiped the hard drive and gave the wrong version of XP

  I have an Acer Aspire one model ZG5, which came with XP home. While still under warranty, the pad has stopped working and would then start is more upward. I sent it in for repair, they wiped the hard drive and fixed my problems. Except, instead of reinstalling XP Home Edition, XP Professional installed. I can't use my computer without first professional activator, which I just can't do it, and I don't have a version of the House that I can install myself. I wouldn't rather to pirate a copy, but I'm not sure how to get a copy of the House, I already bought once and do not feel that I should buy it a second time. How could I go solve this?

  Back to whom you have sent your computer for repair and request that they make good (on) copy of Windows back or give you a license key valid for the version that they installed.

• How to install the new hard drive and windows key?

  Hello

  I have a aspire v5-121-c72g32nkk.
  I have just updated to Windows 10, don't panic, but I want to upgrade my HD drive to a SSD drive.

  You can find the steps to do this?
  Windows was preinstalled, how I reinstall on another drive?
  I have no serial key or whatever it is.
  I'm a bit lost, you have an idea?

  Best,

  There are several ways to do this, anyone have product keys, since

  If you want to do a clean install:

  Windows 7-8 - 8.1 keys are embeeded on your BIOS

  Windows 10 use a generic key during the upgrade, so just skip the steps questions about a product key and the first time you connect on the web, it will authenticate to.

  You must decide:

  (1) do a clean install of your operating system to factory

  (2) make a disk - image of the system image and reload

  (3) to do a clean install of windows 10

  option 2 is the fastest at the end, as you create a copy of your HARD drive and reload it to your PC.

  you need a bootable windows 10 (USB or DVD) media and little space on external HARD drive.

• Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

  Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

  And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

  After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
