• How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

  In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
  Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

  Hello

  You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
  If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
  In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

  Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

  I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

  PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

• Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash

  When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer.  Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate.  The file is stored in my service digital locker.  I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer).  In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD.  However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional).  Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."

  Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer?  If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature?  Thanks in advance!

• Reinstalling after hard drive crash

  My son's hard drive crashed. We have installed a new drive is in any way to get windows vista comes with the purchase of a new copy.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• HP Pavilion dv3-4310eo: recovery after HARD drive failure

  Hard drive crashed. Replaced with a new drive that is the same size as the old one (500 GB). Start the computer with the recovery DVD. When I open the Recovery Manager all the dining options are grayed out?

  Why is this? What should I do?

  

  I followed this guide, but the options are still grayed out. Recovery disk is not working without landing was on the backup partition (I restored it once before without problem).

  No way I pay HP for a new set of recovery discs...

  My solution is to download an iso of clean windows 7 that triggers very well with my key

  Guess I won't again have this problem and I do not have as an asset deal with all HP software crap that accompanies the last of them.

• Hard drive crashed - no CD/DVD not provided.

  I don't know if this is the right place for a solution, but...

  I have an a6305.uk Pavilion and the hard drive crashed.  I paid a WAD of cash and recovered most of the data files.  I bought a new SATA hard drive and got the device running with XP.  The reader is not repairable.

  The problem is the following - I would go back to Vista, but when I bought the machine it came with the software installed and no CD/DVD.  How can I get the Vista CD relevant for her?

  I have another machine using Vista - Pavilion a6511.uk (also no CD/DVD/s) which works very well.  Any suggestion on the question of whether I can use it to rebuild the software on another machine?   Note that the damaged hard drive was 350 nine GB is 500 GB and the one on the machine works also 350 GB.

  I hope yours,.

  Jim

  Thank you.

  For additional information, the solution was as follows:-

  (1) created Recovery DVD set using a machine later.  I was not able to recover on the other machine with these DVD

  However,.

  (2) installed new drive of 500 GB in the machine later (instead of the existing drive) and the used DVD is to recover the software on this disk.

  (3) replaced the new drive in the old machine and booted OK.  Just a few tweaks needed to reconfigure the monitor, recognize the different mouse etc.  Even if the new drive is bigger than the original one, recovery recognized and formatted accordingly.

  (4) replace the original disk and more later kicked and the machine OK.

  -That the routine of hard recovery specific but not seem specific training.

  Thanks a lot - problem solved.

• Pavilion P6-2469eo: Reinstalling windows after HARD drive crash

  Hi, I just bought a defective HP Pavilion P6 known.   After receiving and checking, it appears that the hard drive is faulty.

  The machine does not start, I have activated POST messages and now a screen message saying that 'no boot disk was detected, or the drive failed.    The DPS self test fails with code 7.

  I disabled the secure boot and can boot from a CD of Linux, so I know that, basically, the computer is still alive

  My question is, once I have comes from replacing the hard drive, I can get a copy of replacement windows to HP or do I buy one out of the copy of the Windows Tablet (or install Linux)?

  I was told that the machine is two years old and just out of warranty.

  Thank you!

  If out of warranty, you will most likely need to buy a set of HP or a partner of HP recovery disk. The good thing is that it's a reasonable price.

• Activation after hard drive crash

  I have recently updated from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  No problems with the installation, but shortly after I had a hard disk crash.  I reinstalled the copy of windows 7, but now I have problems with activation because the version I bought originally was for upgrades.  I need to reinstall Vista and then upgrade to windows 7 for this key to work?  Looks like a lot of trouble to use a product that I already paid for.

  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.

• Satellite L305 - recovery after HARD drive installation

  The hard drive on my L305 Satellite is out and had to replace it. Ordered the Toshiba recovery disks and have spent the last two hours Exchange back and forth every minute or so when you are prompted. Is this normal or should I try something different?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  I m confused about your ad normally, you can install the recovery image of Toshiba Recovery on each HARD disk drive. Just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be installed automatically.

  What exactly happens if you start from the recovery disk?

• BSOD on install of Windows 7 after hard drive crash

  I have a HP Dv7 with Intel i7 and 8 GB memory. About 3 years.

  Recently, I lost my hard drive to a physical failure. I bought a 120 GB SSD as the principal and a 1 TB drive 7200 RPM as the secondary to be replaced. I ordered the HP restore kit to reinstall Windows 7, but each installation stops at "loading drivers" step and gives me a BSOD. I tried to remove the SSD drive and using only the hard drive, but the same results. Also tried to do a clean install of Windows 7 with an ISO image to a bootable USB key. The same problem. I also tried swapping the primary/secondary locations for readers.

  Nothing I have tried seems to work. I'm desperate for a solution! Why would I get a BSOD on a reinstallation of the software factory?

  I am trying install Windows 7 without SP1 to see if that works, but have no chance. What else can I try? What I have to install Windows 8 to work with the new hard drive or SSD? »

  I tried to restore 4 times (3 hours + per attempt). I tried the clean install of Windows 7 SP1 at least 10 times, each of them do not reach the exact spot. Windows won't INSTALL, so that steps can be taken?

  As I posted earlier, I had problems with installing Windows 7 on my laptop HP Pavilion Dv7 after replacing a hard drive defective. I ordered the kit of training materials ($60) and the operating system of restoration kit (essentially Windows 7 and drivers) on a 4 disc set. I paid the extra money for all accelerated for me.

  After you have installed a 120 GB SSD and the new 1 TB drive 7200 RPM, I tried to install the operating system using the DVD restore I ordered. Each installation took about 4 hours and each of the 3 times (i.e. 12 hours!) installation has failed at the end of the installation process. Then I downloaded a clean version of Windows 7 ISO and burned a bootable USB an attempt installs another 15, which also failed at the end of the installation process.

  In desperation, I contacted HP support and was informed that I had to pay for technical support. I must say that I was really disappointed by HP and HP «each incident» support I spent $59 and 3 hours talk with some idiots in the new Delhli, who accompanied me through a few tests of BIOS of base no matter what 3-year-old could have understood, I sent them a picture of the BSOD and error code, and they arrived at their 'solution' to send me my laptop to HP for them to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system for the pittance of $200 and 7 to 9 days!

  I refused their generous offer to relieve myself of the burden of $ 200 in my wallet and took the laptop to Fry when I bought it. After 15 minutes of discussion about my question, the tech told me that I needed to install the Intel drivers during the installation of Windows 7. He popped a USB key containing the Intel drivers, I've needed, continued with the installation of Windows 7, and I was back at home with a working machine within the hour. It cost me $35. A BARGAIN, given that HP, the company that BUILT my laptop was completely distraught about this problem and the only solution was to deprive me of my laptop for 9 days and during this time, charge me $200.

  So to all who read this, please pay NOT for the HP "per incident" support. They are slightly educated idiots who know no more about the HP product than your typical 3 yr old child. For example, they suggested that the HP laptop in my possession was "very sensitive" and I wouldn't be able to put 'any hard disk that was not exactly to the same specification as that was in it from the factory'.  Idiots.

  I you need to re - install Windows 7 on your laptop, visit the Intel website and download "floppy" (i.e. not the executable versions which self install) versions of their drivers for your laptop, load on a USB stick and when begins the installation of Windows 7 where it asks if you want to load the drivers, select the drivers on your USB key and installation will be smooth.

  Again, how is it possible that HP and their support forums are not aware of the problem or the solution? Seriously. This is probably the last HP I buy. Just exhausting and annoying to deal with this.

  PS - My HP Pavillion DV7 is smoking quickly with the new solid-state drive and updated 7200 RPM secondary drive. * beep * thing boots like 20 seconds and Photoshop load almost INSTANTLY. Incredible.
