Reinstall/activate Windows 7 after a hard disk crash

My drive crashed, and I have to reinstall Windows 7 on a new drive.  Of course, I can't open Win 7 on the old disk to uninstall.  What should I do to activate the new installation?  (I can't even integrated repair functions, even with Safe Mode or a command prompt. "It is really watered.) This is a copy of the retail, incidentally; I have the disc.

Try the Activate by phone:

Activate Windows 7 manually:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

2. press enter on your keyboard

3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  • Reinstall CS3 Web Standard after the hard disk crash. Serial number, but check the upgrade is a problem - from Mac to PC, so does not match my product calling (Studio MX Mac)

    I'm reinstalling CS3 Web Standard after a hard disk crash. I have my serial number, but after entering, it does a check of upgrade, and at the time wherever I upgraded I also did a single switch from Mac to PC - so my product calling (Studio MX Mac) has a serial number starting with "WSM600"... ", while the upgrade check won't accept - Studio MX Mac is not yet available as an option. This happened once before and I had to work with a representative by phone (I had to click in a hidden part of one of the activation screens to get a number, if I remember correctly), but apparently Adobe that does more. And the page of "www.adobe.com/go/activiation" the phone message directs you to doesn't seem to have an option for this problem either.

    So, what is the replacement or her work around this problem now?

    Hi lkauffman,

    The serial number must be unlocked for activation.

  • Windows Live Mail 2011, Windows 7, after a hard disk crash

    Hello

    I need help please!

    Hard drive of my laptop has failed and shattered Windows. IT friend of mine he recovered eventually, but following his advice, I'll send it to the factory for an appropriate remedy.

    In the meantime, I would like to know if I can recover emails in my boxes in all. All the addresses in my address book are preserved and are there when I logged in the Windows Live Mail.

    However, I am very confused. I thought that Windows Live Mail is a bit like hotmail or google mail where I can access it anytime anywhere, so even if my hard drive has failed, I expected to see my old emails when I logged on.

    If there is a way I can see my old mails, please teach me how do it, but I have the feeling that maybe it's not possible.

    Thank you!

    You can use WLM in two modes.  We're really on the web Live Mail where it is stored on Microsoft servers.  The other (which most people use) is a mode in which the mail is downloaded to your computer and that are stored there as well as your contacts.  You are therefore responsible for the backup of your mail and contacts.   This web page will tell you how: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=114

    If your hard drive is still accessible by temporarily attaching to a USB port with a box designed for that, you can find your WLM file.  He was buried on 6 levels down if you need to know exactly where he is.  %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live Mail.

    I am opposed to where WLM stores my default mail.  You can move it to another place that is more easy to find which would allow you to easily save this file directly.  WLM provides the tool to do this movement quit nicely.   I use the normal WLM backup, as described in the link above AND also save the entire file WLM.  My mail, contacts and calendar are probably the most valuable thing on my computer and I not backed up really well.

    Interestingly, I found in the past that most (not all) of the time, if you replace the Store for WLM folder with a copy of the file you are recovering, it will include your contacts and calendar as well as all your e-mail folders.  If you do this, you are NOT importing anything.

    If you can't, you can connect to your Internet service provider, once you have installed and launched WLM, and download his Inbox for you.  You will not find contacts, calendar or other folders there normally.  In fact, many of my clients in these situations to discover thousands of emails downloaded into their WLM system.  This occurs if you have never removed from your Inbox to your ISP.  So, before you connect WLM to your ISP, go to your ISP webmail and clean up the Inbox.

  • Satellite A200-137 - cannot install windows after the hard disk crash

    last week my a200-137 crashed and now I have the new hitachi 500 GB hard drive on it, even before the accident.
    I have install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull installed I have to start windows, it says prepare for first use windows then I have to wait a while and then I get the message that windows setup is not complete. But it is complete!

    After trying to install 3 times with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
    After a few minutes and transering files, I don't get the message no disc found! It is said that there is no hard drive on the laptop!
    But when I start the start menu or the settings menu, I can see the 500 GB Hitachi hard drive!

    So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

    > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
    This title was the original HARD drive?
    If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

    Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
    Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.
