• Activation of Windows 8 new hard disk

  Hello

  A few weeks ago my laptop hard drive suddenly stopped working, so I had to buy a newer version to replace the old one that has stopped working. Today, I just got my hard drive and I installed it in my laptop. I used my win8 cd to install windows. After all installation, etc, I noticed that my product said it was "Not available" so I figured that it had to do with my old hard drive. I don't really know how to turn off the key in my large hard drive since no longer works and I have no idea what to do. Help me?
  Kind regards
  Kevin

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

  Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

  Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

  They read these messages?

  Hey Buddy

  I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

  The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

  The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
  You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
  In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

  There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

• Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have a dell dimension E520 running Vista Home Basic 32-bit. It is about 2 years old. After login, I get the following message in a dialog box. The message continues pop - up every 10 minutes, or so...

  "Windows detected a hard disk problem and you need to back up the files and contact the manufacturer to determine whether the disk should be repaired or replaced."

  "The next disk reports failure.
  Disc name: SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P
  Volume: /; C: /.

  I have run "chkdsk" and also contacted Dell who advised a full diagnosis running. This indicates that all aspects of the computer and the hard drive are ok.

  Hello tassie steve,.

  You should replace the disk, and then clone on all content, including the MBR (master boot record) to the new drive. What brand you buy, you'll be able to download this free utility software from their site. Do it now, while you can always transfer your data! Hope this helps you. Make it a great day!

  A message box appears every 10 minutes saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem" disk name VOLUME: WDC WD3200BEVT - 602CTI ATA DEVICE: C:\;D:\        If I click on backup now (that I tried to do it on the hard drive Seagate and CD... and it gets to about 35 to 50% then fails)... it goes to the BSOD...

Help, please! ....

  The disc is a failure.

  Copy what you can from it to your backup device. You may need several attempts to make the copy.

  Don't try to backup the drive: is not remaining usable for long enough for a full backup complete.

  Then replace the disk and reinstall Windows and your applications and data, and retrieve your information from the user of the copied data.

• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.

• New hard disk and overcommitment WARNING

  I'm trying to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer on a NFS datastore that applies a provisioning. Our NFS volumes are set to auto grow, if they reach a certain threshold. This normally isn't a problem, and so over-provisioning us like crazy.

  Recently, however, we encountered a problem when a new hard drive size exceeds free space in the data store. He responds with the following error (creation of a to 1.99 VMDK):

  PowerCLI D:\ > new-disk-hard - VM $vm - CapacityGB (1.99 * 1024)-$datastore data store

  New-hard drive: 04/08/2014-10:44:09 new-harddisk for the VirtualMachine-vm-10964 entity failed with the following message: "not enough disk space on the data store"datastore1".»

  Perform the same task in the vSphere Client generates the following warning, which can be bypassed by clicking 'OK ':

  

  I tried to create a smaller drive and increase it, but I get the same error. I do not see a - Force parameter or anything equivalent. Is it possible to approve via PowerCLI?

  The ThinProvisioned switch is an option, or which is in conflict with the NFS configuration?

• reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the new HARD disk, not invited to key code

  My Dimension 9200 needed a new HARD drive. Ordered from Dell, installed HD then re-installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I forgot to unplug the media reader, so I had to reinstall it again to get HARD drive letter assignment as C. Added drivers in good condition and just download and install sp3 and all the necessary updates. Now, all that remains is to transfer all the files from the old HD.

  Never, I was invited to the WinXP key code. I DO have the Dell OEM disc as well as the installation key code in the original Dell factory. I was wondering if anyone else had the same "problem". I checked under administrative tools and don't see anything that ask you "activation". The only thing that I went off and was invited to provide was the key code when I installed MS Office 2003. When I check in system properties, General, it shows that it is registered to me and some numbers with Dell OEM then more numbers, not the OS key code well.

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you

  When you use a Dell OEM media on a Dell computer, it checks the BIOS to make sure that it is install on a Dell computer, then it will be activated automatically, using a generic OEM key.  As long as you have the sticker COST/License/Product Key, you have the right to run Windows on this computer.  That's pretty standard for OEM systems.

  System properties still shows a 'code', not the actual key.  You can use Magic Jelly Bean to retrieve the key used to activate Windows, but the key, that he will return does not match your COA and cannot be used for manual activation.

• Re: How to install Windows from a recovery on a new hard disk media?

  Immediately after a Windows Update, my computer will not re-start. It says disk error.

  I could not start it from the recovery media and F8 would not work. I bought and installed a new hard drive. Now, when I put in the recovery media to install Windows on the new drive, it gives an error message.

  It is Windows 7 and laptop Satellite A500, 64 bit.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista on a new hard disk for Pavilion dv9700t

  Hello.

  Recently, the hard drive on my Pavilion dv9700t (p / n: KL086AV) began to fail.  So I bought a new hard drive and created the recovery disc (I didn't realize that I had to their creation until now, but I got lucky and my computer handed her long enough to do so).

  However, when I installed the new hard drive and tried to launch the recovery discs, I received the message, "this PC is not supported by system recovery disks.  You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

  I have vista 32 bit, my old hard drive was 320 GB and a new one, I bought is a Seagate 500 GB.

  Through researching this problem, I came across different answers.  Some say that the size of the hard drive must be the same, others say recovery discs do not work on a new drive hard unless a special action is taken by a technician, and some say that there is no problem at all.

  I can't find any consistent information on this problem.  All the tips, I would much appretiate.  Thank you in advance!

  Hello:

  Sometimes the discs just do not work.

  I have not met a problem where if you have a bigger drive they don't work, but if you get a smaller drive as an SSD, so it's almost a sure bet that they do not work.

  As I see it, you have two choices: buy a set of HP recovery disks, if they are available and hope they work.

  Or if you can read your Vista product key on the sticker COST MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc.

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.
