• How can I recover 12 PE after hard drive failure?

  February 25, 2014, I bought Adobe Premiere elements 12. The "my-products-services" page that it lists as well as all the other Adobe products that I bought for my Windows 7 64-bit desktop PC.

  I managed to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Premium after a catastrophic hard drive failure last month; However, am currently blocked in even trying to locate where on the Adobe Web site it might be permissible for me to re - install. For unknown reasons, my license is ss12, but my order is not listed under account - orders.html #myorderhistory. CS6 is shown on this page and was how I could restore CS6.

  Does anyone know what I should do next?

  Warmly yours.

• Reinstalling operating system after hard drive failure. new hard drive is smaller

  Is it possible that I can use the smaller hard disk in my slimline model possible s3500f. The original drive has failed and needs to be replaced. I have that I bought a few years ago, it's 300 GB of the disk sata hard donkey used. The reader who couldn't amounted to 500. I don't just have money to buy another hard drive. Nor have the money to buy a vista 64 installation disc. I made the recovery discs when I bought the machine like a good girl should, but now I find out that they will not work to install the OS on the new drive, because it is smaller.

  Is there a way to get around this? My financial situation like so many others has changed radically since I bought the computer and try to get money$ $ for a new hard drive or Setup disk would take time and my son needs the computer for school, which begins this week.

  Thank you in advance to anyone who knows a solution

  Salvation, which will not work because they will not be able to send a file of 3 GB email.

  Your choices as I see it is to make a 32-bit installation media, or have your friend make the 64-bit support and you deliver the completed flash drive, after they test.

  You can start just up and then cancel the installation - just to make sure it will work.

• Reinstalling windows 8 after hard drive failure

  Let's say I bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled (I'm considering the purchase Lenovo Yoga 13)

  and then one of the following things occur:
  -my hard drive dies
  -I want to repartition the hard disk and format it
  -I want to buy a new hard drive and replace the existing one
  The question: what is the safe way to reinstall the OEM of Windows 8, which comes with the laptop on a clean
  (no restore partition) hard drive?
  Here, the assumption is that I start with a laptop from work 'by default'.

  Some information:
  I read some topics on these forums and my current understanding is that the activation key for OEM Windows 8 is stored somewhere in the BIOS/UEFI and can be removed by windows installed. I'm fine with that. Where can I get the installation media in this case? In the Microsoft store I was informed (by a technician) that I would essentially need to purchase an OEM Windows 8. Certainly, I hope this gentleman, I was talking to does not know his business. I think know that by buying the windows laptop I also buy the license for this particular Windows OEM installed on it (related to hardware and all).

  Hello

  After looking around a bit, I can't find no details on a recovery device at all either. Only something about a picture "Recovery."

  The problem is that if your hard drive is a replacement or reformatted, it seems to me that the image would be useless because the software required to load it would be gone.

  Unless the 'Image' would contain the necessary software to load, and it's doubtful...

  Thus,.

  I would suggest picking up Acronis image, preferably of the Plus Pack version, or something similar...

  I tried a number of programs, including the most free, image and Acronis seems to be the better (and faster).

  There are a few programs that can detect that they have been refilled from an image and require reinstallation... That almost never seems to happen with Acronis images for some reason any.

  You can often find it for sale cheap and sometimes free after rebate, if you want to wait...

  It compresses the Image, she creates and takes much less space as a result...

  I have a 128 GB SSD, responsible for programs that absorb about 60 GB... Acronis compresses the image to 20 GB.

  It reloads the Image on ANY HDD\SSD that is large enough... 60GB for example.

  You can Image the entire drive or individual partitions... In your case, I recommend both as soon as you get the computer. Just to cover all bases.

  The only withdrawal to it is that you will need an external HARD drive or a Flash capacity...

  I make the Images of new OS every time I do a great time of change or put to date. In case of problem, 15 minutes to make a new image is nothing compared to having to start again.

  I currently have about 10 images to win 8 since I installed it taking about 180 GB...

  My understanding is that the installation of Acronis CD is also bootable... which is when you want to use it anyway. I can't confirm that at this time because my bootable CD was burned by the installed version of Acronis and I can't find the original disc to test it.

• How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

  I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

  I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

  I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

  How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

  First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
  Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

  What about the secure boot option?
  Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

• 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

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• How can I reinstall Vista after a HD failure?

  I have windows vista OS, well I did until the HARD drive failed and I can't get it back. How can I get the system operational again without buying a new operating system that I own it. ???

  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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

  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

  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.

• HP G60-235: upgrading to Windows 7 after hard drive failure

  First of all I would like to say that I hope that it is in the right part of the Forum, if it not is not please let me know.

  I have a G60-235 HP running Vista.

  My hard drive has failed and that I had tested and it is unusable. I replaced the hard drive with an SSD and don't have an operating system.

  I can't get into the Bios and there may be some info that is needed, f, so please let me know and I'll post it.

  Is - this here anyway to check to see if my HP can handle Windows 7? I downloaded the Windows 7 advisory.

  I also looked for the evaluation version of Windows 7. I could not find. The link I followed by searching showed me the evaluation for 8.1 version.

  I would not buy the full version and find out it does not work, but I also prefer to go back to Vista is possible.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Your model must run Windows 7 well. There are even Win 7 drivers posted at HP. There are 3 different models of G60 235 (CA, DX, WM) listed, but this is an example:

• 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.
