• Upgraded to windows 7 and also a new hard drive

  I have a 2005 HP m7060n Media Center http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00306958 & lang = to & cc = us & taskI... running on XP
  I was looking to upgrade to Windows 7 and also install a new drive.  New readers are shipped with windows 7 already preinstalled and when I change the disks, it will start windows 7.
  How could I then exchange the old files to the new drive?
  What is your solution the best and less expensive?  How do you do this?  Help, please.
  Thank you
  Marco

  I suggest that perform you a clone of the hard drive. Seagate drives and WD offer a free version of the wizard disk.

  Clone the original 200 GB drive to the new drive.  To avoid problems, has chosen a 1.5 or 1 t T drive. Once you have the clone, just install the upgrade on the new drive. All your data will remain intact, and the intact original of 200 GB drive is secure.

  PS > you need a spare sata power and data leads to the clone. Look inside and see what led power is hanging loose. Then I can suggest an adapter or cable. As the DVD is IDE, (not Sata) from what I've read, you will need a Sata data cable also.

• Reinstallation of Windows Vista OEM on a new hard drive

  I just bought a new HD for a Dell Vostro 220 s computers and when I booted from the DVD of Vista Win, it did not work. The computer does not recognize the media as a start.

  I don't know that the CD/DVD drive is OK because I tried to boot the PC from a recovery disk and it worked normally.

  The media are also OK. Through the recovery disk, I was able to access the command prompt. I saw all the files on the media, so I came to this conclusion.

  Thanks in advance,

  Just to close this topic, I want to thank you all for the support.

  In the end, I gave up and installed Linux. So far, it seems to meet all my needs.

• Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

  Genuine Windows clean install

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

  In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.

  Kind regards

  Lewis

• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

• Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

  Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

  A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

  RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

  RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

  In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

• Windows 7, re - install the new hard drive was a success, but I now get guests that it is not valid, and I need to buy Windows 7

  From January 2013, after a series of about 13 automatic updates, Windows 7 hang in the boot process.  Using the repair function of the system on the Windows 7 installation disc, I was able to select a restore point at the beginning and Windows would be operated until I chose shutdown and updates would be automatically install 13 updates and then freeze at startup.  Finally, in a workaround, I would choose standby extended instead of shutdown until the system would break down after 10 days.    After going through this loop until the end of February, I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 again.  I used the product key and the OEM ID on the back of my Acer Aspire 5253 - BZ849, but keep getting prompts is not valid.  How can I get this fixed WITHOUT PAYING for WINDOWS AGAIN!

  The product key on the back label of the Acer PC is: * product key removed privacy * (initially, it has been accepted as valid.  Now I get guests that it is not and I have 22 days to activate.)  There is also a code in parentheses (X 16-96072), followed by 168-00196-149-361.

• Can I reinstall the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional on a new hard drive without any problem of product/activation key?

  Recently, my hard drive crashed and could be damaged, because I can not install anything on this subject.

  I still have the CD of Windows XP Professional that has been used to upgrade to Windows 7.
  So, if I buy a new hard drive and install XP first and then upgrade to windows 7. I'll be able to
  to do this without side windows activation problems.
  Or do I have to buy a new drive for windows?
  PS: Is it important that it is the version of Windows 7 professional student discount?
  Thank you.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  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.

• Move all my data and OS to new hard drive

  Hello world

  Well, my problem is that my hard drive which I installed today is insufficient memory.  I can only have a hard drive connected to my computer if I want to transfer everything (including Vista Home Premium) to the new hard drive.  I installed the new hard drive and disconnected my CD player in the process so that both hard drives are now connected and installed ready for operation.  I know how to back up files in windows, but I want to spend all completely (cookies, programs, photos, Vista, etc.) or as much as I can.  I will have to reinstall the programs, but I don't want to reinstall Vista.  I hope that was enough information and thank you for your help!

• Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

  I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

• Equium A200: impossible to get Vista installed on the new HARD drive recovery

  Hello

  After a failure of the HD I bought a Toshiba no AF HD which is defective
  Now that I had to buy a replacement HARD drive that is a player of AF but no matter how hard I try, I can't recovery Vista Home Premium software to install

  I get an error "Windows cannot configure Windows" or something like this message.

  Pointers would be most useful.

  Thank you, Tim.

  Usually, is not a big problem to install the Toshiba Vista image using the new HARD disk.
  But I've already read in different threads that in the case of much larger hard drives the recovery procedure could not complete successfully.

  In which case you would not be able to complete the Vista installation by using the recovery disk, you can try to install the system using the Microsoft disc. In this case I recommend you take the Win 7 OS. Its much better than Vista OS.

• Satellite A100 - how to install "Windows XP MCE" on a new HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-495. the cd/dvd does not work and I have a new hard drive. Now, I want to install the original os (windows xp professional, mce).
  I'm trying to put the files of my original restore on a USB cd but never works and I did not find useful clues in any part of the forum.

  Is there anyone out there who can help me?

  Hi, marawe

  It would never work if you just copy the files from recovery Cd on a usb key. You need to make a BOOTABLE FLASH DISK, to do you need an application like Flashbot... Google.
  Download and install it, after that you can make a bootable usb key.
  You should know that your Bios must support boot with a Usb key, I don't know about your knees. Otherwise, you cannot do so. Hope it works

• Windows XP home on a new hard drive installation

  I have an Omnibook xe2 with a new hard drive. The old hard drive has windows 2000 pro on this subject. The hard drive failed completely. I bought a new hard drive for her specifically for the Omnibook xe2. I don't have the disc pro 2000 windows or a boot drive for it. I have a XP home disc. How can I install the XP home without that old operating system disk pro 2000? Microsoft says that I need the old pro 2000 disk to load the new XP home system. Thank you for your help.

  If your XP disc is an 'Upgrade', you will need an earlier version of windows will first be installed on the computer ie: Windows 2000. If the XP disk is a "full" Version you will need to set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive, and then boot from the drive and install Windows XP. To set the boot order, press on and press f2 at startup. Follow the prompts to set the boot order for the CD/DVD drive. Save the settings and exit. Place the disc in the CD drive and start the computer, follow the prompts to install Win. XP
