Recovery of the BONES after Laptop HARD drive crashed

My laptop HP HARD drive crashed before that I could upgrade to win 10.  After I installed a new drive is it possible to load a free copy of win 10 and activate using my Windows 7 product key?  If so, how to do this.  Reloading of win 7 would be good too if this is not possible.

You can of course.

    After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

    In the future more facts and less editorial help here

    SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem

    What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)

    You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries

    You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock

    When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library

    I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

  • Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
    So, how can I put the o/s back on?

    Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
    But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

    But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
    After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

    Hello

    Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.

  • Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I need help here.

    My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

    I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

    I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

    After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

    I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

    Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

    What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

    Concerning

    John

    OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

    If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

    Model No.: m7-j010dx

    Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

    Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

    Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

    User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

    With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

    When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

    A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

    Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

    I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

    After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

    The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

    UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

    Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

    SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

    So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

    Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

    The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

    I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

    If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

    If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

    Conclusion:

    I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

    But then again, I know.

  • Satellite Pro P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
    I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
    What can I do to recover my windows?

    Sorry for my englich!

    Thank you

    Hey Phillipe,

    Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

    1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
    This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

    2 form factor
    You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
    existing drive.

    3 speed
    Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
    with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

    The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

    Kind regards

  • Installation after laptop hard drive failure and replacement laptop with Mac instead of Windows

    I have a disk with two licenses for Lightroom 4.

    A license is on your Windows 7 Desktop and the other license on a laptop HP Windows

    The portable hard drive is dead.

    one) can I re install from the disc with the same serial number on a new laptop?

    (b) it was suggested to replace my laptop with a Mac laptop. Will I have problems installing on a Mac and/or Exchange catalogs with the existing Windows desktop

    (c) if I buy Lightroom 5 upgrade, can I only go to one or the other computer (laptop or desktop)?

    Thanks for any help or suggestion

    Hi RStyle1,

    Answers are below:

    (a) Yes, you can use the same disc and serial number to install on a new laptop, if you get an activation error message, you need to contact Adobe technical support.

    (b) the same serial number works on Windows and Mac.

    (c) you can always use Lightroom 4 If you upgrade to version 5, it is up to you to use both versions on machines at your disposal.

    Thank you!

  • The g50-70 Lenovo HARD drive crashed

    Lenovo g50 i5 6 GB 500hdd

    Over the weekend, our laptop took a dump. While watching netflix to farm walk turn on it would go beyond the Lenovo loading screen. Called support and they advised me once OKR, basically returned to factory settings.

    After starting normally, it seemed it was good until I kept getting messages/alerts on the HDD. Watched tutorials online and shaped I could give him a change to new SSD. The only thing I'm running is that it won't let me access the internet to download a cloning program. Is there a way around it? I want just to get the OS out of it and install in new SSD before putting.

    What are some steps I have to take to make this easy? Maybe you can help me through guide step by step?

    OKR (a recovery key) I guess it's like a 2nd HARD drive with all the programs in there. Why I can't just "backup recovery" with OKR right on my new SSD? Wouldn't it register as having all of my info same as windows OS 8.1 and other pre installed programs? Replace old HDD with SSD and boot?

    I would really appreciate it!

    Hi eruiz_1987 ,

    Welcome to the Community Forums.

    Try to run Center Solutions Lenovo to diagnose the machine. Call for support for the decoding of error and the result of the service intended for laptop warranty.

    You can create your Windows Installer following this guide as option 1 (windows 8.1 and win 10 have the same process).

    New installation on a new hard drive and installing the drivers from support.lenovo.com for a new copy of Windows without preinstalled applications here as option 2.

    Recovery OKR (page 26) is on the partition hidden from the original hard drive even if there is a bad hard drive sector, may also be affected, but better to try option 1.

    Take the time to review the links highlighted and an update how it would work better for you.

  • Laptop hard drive failures

    My laptop hard drive crashed. It is repaired by a new disc with the approved o/s. It doesn't have a D partition now. Is there any use in my command, recovery disks? I already started to restore applications and data.

    Hello

    I see what you mean

    If media recovery is all benefits for you, depends in large part of the operating system that you use and whether you have any other way to reinstall the operating system in case of accident - for example if you are using Windows 7, you can easily create your own installation media and use the key of 25 characters of your coa label to activate it. A complete list of Windows 7 ISO files here.

    If you are under Windows 8, these files are not so easy to find, so you spend your recovery media order may be worth considering.

    In both cases, the only way that partition D (recovery) can be recreated would be to use a set of recovery media (disk or flash drive) to perform a factory reset as it will not only reinstall the OS, but to recreate the original scores, with only your laptop delivered.

  • Hard drive crashed. You need to activate Vista Home Premium.

    Mick,

    My Gateway laptop hard drive crashed. I bought the new hard drive and installed Vista Home Premium with the recovery disk came with the laptop. After you have installed the software it tells me that I need to activate it. It asks for a product key, but one that came with the laptop is dissipated down. I can't read the product key. So, how can I activate the operating system if it stops telling me to activate it. I wouldn't have to pay for another key because I already paid for it. Any help would be appreciated.
