  Hello

  Where was the product key you have lost?

  And you have a pre-installed OEM license or a retail license?

  If it is an OEM preinstalled contact license (Acer, Toshiba, etc.), the manufacturer and, ask them if you have a recovery Partition and if so, how to use it to reinstall the operating system to a new State by pressing F10, F11, or a sequence of different at startup button. or if you do not have a recovery partiiton asked to send you recovery disks, what they should do for a small fee.

  Or ways above to reinstall the operating system normally requires your share product key information

• How can I reinstall windows xp when the computer does not start and there is no cdrom/dvd drive?

  I have an Acer netbook aspire one.  It will not boot past the windows logo.  I have a windows xp disc to reinstall windows, but the computer has no CD or dvd rom.  Can I copy cd of windows xp on startup SD memory card and reinstall windows?  Or can I run connect the non working pc a working PC to access the cdrom on the work pc to reinstall windows?

  First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

  This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

  There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

  If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

• Reinstalled Windows - the product key already in use

  I just reinstalled Windows Vista, and when I enter the product key, I thought that my key is already used.  How to solve this?  My Windows product key sticker is on my computer.

  Hi Christian,

  It comes by default. In fact, you are using the product key, not someone else. The problem is easily solved. See this link on my site for more details:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Try to reinstall windows 7 on another computer with the old product key

  My computer has 7 starter and windows 7 upgrade system intalled. It crashed and no longer works.  I talk to technicians of Microsoft and they say its ok and will work - transferring the operating system windows 7 on my laptop current used. Well no dice, after my product key for them, Microsoft gave me the run around. Last night when I spoke with them, they said that a discount price was available because I made the original purchase for her. Is happening here? Should I buy windows 7 again?

  I guess you try to use the upgrade license.

  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.

  Always try the following:

• After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

  I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

  After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

  In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

  Standard VGA graphics card

  BCM20702AO

  Ethernet controller

  Network controller

  PCI device

  PCI Simple Communications controller

  SM Bus controller

  Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

  I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

  Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

• My company goes bankrupt. They gave me the computer they use with a XP disc but I have no activation key

  Hello

  So I have this old model that was given to me by my company when the company went under (a place in R & D that loses funding). It seems to be a generic PC cobbled together from pieces of the difference, some being spare parts. It has a sticker of windows vista in the detail but xp pro installed. They gave me an xp pro disk. However when I uses a key Locator to get the license key and try to use it with the disc, it says it is unacceptable so I think they gave me the wrong disc.

  Is there something I can do? May download and install vista? (shudders at the thought)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'll try and help you, but be informed that Microsoft has a policy of a license per machine. If the computers were running on the volume license key, then you will not be able to activate Windows. Usually the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee.

  You can find that some clarification on licenses in volume on this article. To find detailed information on the single user license agreement, go through the link and check.

  Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

• Reinstalled Vista on my Gateway computer. There are 2 users, how to find the files saved by Windows before reinstalling?

  My C drive was blue screens so that I couldn't get into my computer and it became useless. I'm a total computer not so smart person, (politically correct too) :) In any case, after finding how to get in safe mode and fishing around a solution, I got the solution from scratch. It was April, which should give you an idea how well informed, I am when it comes to such things.

  So I took the option that would save all user files before reinstaling the operating system which is original bought the 2008 version. Vista 32-bit. Yes I know it's old but it works again. So since then I tried to get it updated and secure. Gateway won't help me at all, of course, out of warranty and all. So I downloaded the service Pack 1 and 2 for vista and all the security updates and Microsoft security essentials and IE9. So now I'm finally back to normal, which I think is a relative term.

  So now, I want to find all the files of the user who have been registered by windows before the reinstall took place. My folders and files from my sister. Treatment of text and pictures and stuff.

  Once I found how to make their return to where I am and where it is?

  You are welcome.

  Unfortunately, you have not yet told how you have saved the files.

  If you used the Auromatic backup gateway, they say that the files are in the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive.

  You will need to open that folder and either copy and paste or drag and drop them where you want them to be.

  It's a question you'd have to ask Gateway:

  http://support.gateway.com/support/ask_gateway.aspx

  .

  If you sustained yourself using Vista DVD files or an external hard drive, is how do to the files from the point upwards.

• I tried to reinstall windows xp on my computer and I got a message < root windows > \systems32\hal.dll. I tried to use a disc of windows xp cd and nothing works for me. my pc came with windows pre-installed on it btw. can someone help me fix it

  I tried the suggestion on the error message and nothing works

  Hi Honee,

  Please, try the following.

  You must boot your PC with the XP cd-rom Setup disk, if you have
  one.

  Then, when you get to the screen with the following option appears:

  To repair a Windows XP installation using
  Recovery Console, press R.

  Then press [R] to launch the "Recovery Console".

  When confronted by a prompt asking for the administrator password - just
  Press [ENTER]

  After his start in RC - type the following command:

  Expand x:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll

  (where [x] is the letter of your cd drive)

  * NB If SP3 is installed - then the command that you type must be:

  Copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll c:\windows\system32

  ... instead, because the files are of two different levels of review
  (versions).

  Then restart.

  I hope this helps!
