Reinstall a preinstalled computer drive

I have a laptop HP I bought at Costco.  I just found out I have a virus Trojan and AVG as my anti-virus software.  If I have to perform a recovery, how can I get the software Vista reinstalled as my computer came with it preinstalled?

Hello

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of

  • After you have reinstalled a new hard drive, my system is slower than before

    I have a dv6000 HP Pavilion with Windows vista 32 bit.  My hard drive crashed and we bought and upgraded to a 500 GB.  I reinstalled all my software and update everything, but it seems that it has not been installed correctly (vista).  This is my 2nd hard drive and the 1st time, we have not had any problems.  This time it does not appear that correctly reinstalled Vista.  None of my previous icons came back, I had to do these myself.  My system is "slower" than ever.  Commissioning is slow, clicking in IE is slow.  My system seems to freeze and lock up a lot now then that on the internet or turned off.  Sometimes just clicking on IE or even one of my programs, it takes a very long time to come.  No information has no reinstall my external hard drive, everything here is new and fresh.  I'm just uninstall everything and try everything again.  I am completely frustrated.

    Hi Jan,

    Do you have more details on the hard disk that you purchased? These can be signs that the drive is defective and fails.
    Usually, if a car goes to the failure of your computer behaves strangely. This could be anything to take time abnormally long starting or opening programs to receive errors trying to save files.
    Since how long have you bought the new drive? If he was recently, which means the last month or so, I think it would be better to return it to the store that you bought it and exchange it for a scratch disk.

  • Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

    Original title: HD crashed.

    I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • Can I install OEM windows 7 pro license on a preinstalled computer comes with windows vista after formatting the hard drive

    There is a HP machine purchased with preinstalled windows vista home premium and now I want to format the computer so that I can load a license OEM windows 7 on it. I just want to know after the formatting and the license of windows 7 OEM loading if my system will work and also if the windows are enabled.

    Please, your urgent response is needed here.

    Hello

    You don't say where you got the OEM Windows 7 license of.

    If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

    If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • can I reinstall vista, removed hard drive?

    I bought a laptop computer with a hard drive deleted, if I get a new hard then re - install vista if they product key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop?

    Hello

    Licenses, Activation and hardware drivers problems do not work how the other poster tells you

    If this hard drive was put in another computer, it would not work for 2 reasonns.

    1, it will NOT be activated until the preinstaled license OEM, a computer brand, DELL, HP, etc, is related to the original machine it was installed on

    2. it would not in all the probability of starting as this removed hard disk motherboard drivers required in order for it to work on your laptop, not another machine

    many people take a hard drive out so that they can keep them on private data they sell laptop

    also with regard to what the other poster told you about the recovery partition:

    It won't work that on YOUR laptop, NOT another machine, the hard disk may be implemented

    Here's how to reinstall Vista on your laptop:

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc and use your product key

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
