Reinstall Windows 7 without cd HP, activation problem!

Hello

We (the company) have recently bought a HP Compaq Pro 4300 Small Form Factor machine. A little hard to explain but when I configure the pc for what we will use to, I messed up and he had to do a reinstall and start over.

The pc came stock with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and is expandable to Windows 8. There is no sticker Windows license on the pc because it's one of those machines that has integrated into the BIOS or something license key (for Windows 8 I think). I used Produkey to get the license number for resettlement.

The first thing we thrown when we arrived the pc is the recovery disks and driver that came with it. I used a cd of Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit authentic, original for installation. Very well installed, use the license during the installation key. Installed all the drivers and the software I needed, got all the updates of Windows etc.

But now, it doesn't let me activate it! It gives me the error 0xc004e003. Also, it does not have the ability to call Microsoft. I installed using the 00371-OEM-8992671-00008 license code. I also tried the "Windows (BIOS OEM Key)" in the menu of activation (after installation), but it would not accept this number, probably because this key is ment for Windows 8.

Can someone tell me what I can do to activate this machine? I have to say that Microsoft makes it really tempting to just, hack as it's generally easier to remain authentic.

It turns out that even in the absence of recovery cd, you can still recover the machine of the recovery on the hard drive partition. Works fine now!

  • Reinstall Windows XP without OEM disc

    I work on a computer with Windows XP Home Edition.  Safe mode does not start and I'm unable to uninstall or install programs.  The user has a malicious AOL software package that detects a threat (but he is unable to do something about this).  Without being able to install the software or to access in safe mode, I don't think I can do a lot.

    I think I need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows.  However, the OEM Windows XP Home Edition disk disappeared.  The product key is known and I do not have a Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 discs.  I'll be able to install Windows using the original product key with this drive?

    The good news is that the Dell XP installation CD are in every way. And not only CD - R copy of them! You can get one on Ebay at a dealership with a rating less than $20, including shipping. But surely a relative, friend, neighbor colleague you know has one of them - they are everywhere! And when you use a Dell XP installation CD, there is no need to worry about the product key thanks SLP (System-locked preinstallation) technology that Dell uses.

    If, and only if, this CD - R is a perfect copy of the correct original CD, then it can be used with success since you have already a valid COA and the product key. The problem is that there is no way to really know what's on this CD - r... (Well, I guess, that there is a way if you can determine the MD5 checksum and compare it to the checksum MD5 of the real McCoy.)

  • Can I reinstall Windows 7 without a disc?

    I had problems with my computer and I had to reinstall Windows.  The computer works fine now, but the problem is that I had a Windows Vista disk (the computer was shipped with Vista).  However, shortly after I bought my laptop, I've upgraded to Windows 7 (student edition or something like that) but I did via the internet; I never had a disc.  So when I reinstalled Windows, I reinstalled Vista.  I want to know is there a way for me to reinstall or "reupgrade" from my computer to Windows 7 without disc.

    If you purchased Windows from the Microsoft Store, you can log on to your account and select the correct level of bit for download, then download.

    Staples load Vista on my computer but never gave me the disc, I need to format my drive, but I have to for on activation code reinstall. What should do?

    You probably have a restore disk partition that can be used to reinstall Windows. See your documentation or check with Staples to learn more.

    Note that formatting the drive and reinstalling WIndows are a very bad approach to address any problem. What makes you think you need to do this?

    And please note that a subject line that says: "What to do?" we said nothing and is likely to get your question ignored by many people. The subject must always be a brief description of what the problem is - in your case, something like "Want to reinstall but have no disc."

    Hello
    Firstly, sorry if there are a lot of typos in my post but I did not often speak (write) English...
    I have a big problem and I would like to reinstall windows XP, but I don't want to format my HD.
    When I was with Win98, I had to insert the boot disk and the Windows 98 CD and I could just reinstall windows 98!
    With the Cd rescued provide my computer (Satellite A80) I can format my HD and install windows XP. Is there a solution to reinstall all windows Xp and keep the other file?

    Hello

    Well, I recommend to create a second partition on the HARD drive. There you can reinstall you new version of Windows XP.
    If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD, you must use the Expert mode to recover the operating system, because there you can choose the partition.

    Please check the Toshiba FAQS on this topic:

  • I lost everything, my hard drive is blank. I tried recovering files without success. How can I reinstall windows XP without the operating drive?

    My computer came with Windows XP installed and NO CD with the operating system, I haven't bought referbished system off eBay, there is no manufacturer to contact discs... help please! = ~ D not drive for the Windows XP operating system and no way to get the drive's operating.

    What do you mean by "I've lost everything? What have you done or what happened? Do you have valuable data on your hard drive and hear you because she is 'empty '? What is a malware problem? Or something else?

    The Ebay seller was obliged to provide you with the means to restore the PC to its original state (Yes, I'm aware that many sellers that they don't only not this rule). There may be a hidden hard disk restore partition.
    What is the brand, model and model number of your PC? Your PC came with XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE? What level of SP (Service Pack)? Your PC has a sticker of COA on it? If so, what operating system is listed on it?

    Hey stikkan2011

    There is no download online free and legal from vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    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
