• Just reinstalled Windows, permissions on the secondary drive are bent now

  My 320 GB hard drive that has Windows 7 installed on it crashed. I also had a secondary drive of 1.5 TB of storage. I bought a new 500 GB drive and installed Windows 7 fresh top. Now, I think all permissions on this secondary drive are confused because they were originally from the previous installation. At first, I was getting errors in the programs that I couldn't because I don't have permission to write files, so I said the drive to give me ownership of everything on it.

  That seemed to work for a while, but now - and it is perhaps even more boring - when I try to move or copy files, even if I am the owner, it keeps popping up that box (which NEVER happened on the previous installation, incidentally) tells me I need administrator permission to move the files. The first time I saw it, my account was created as an administrator, so I was like "What the heck?" but I hit the little 'yes' with a shield next to him and the files will move as I indicated.

  After spending a ton of time to search the Internet for more information on this subject, it looked like whenever someone asked something similar to this, they would immediately get said, before all else, that they shouldn't be on the admin account, so I thought it was probably a good idea anyway, and who knows maybe it will solve the problem so I did an admin account, logged in it and the value of my main account to a Standard user. Now, logged into my account as a Standard user, when I try to move the files in the same way, the same box appears, except that now I have to enter the password of the Admin account to move files, too!

  I really don't want this obscene level of security on a single user's computer, but I tell myself that all this has something to do with the previous installation of Windows and system files on the secondary drive.

  Long story short, I want the nagging box go away, and I'm out of ideas.

  I solved my problem, I think.

  First: I deleted this user, who, after researching online, I found was just as I thought, an old rest of the previous installation of windows. Remove from the list of permissions of the folder seemed to work well and removed everything.

  Second: drive D right click, entered the security, hit advanced, tap on change permissions, open my standard user and deleted permissions. I hit OK, checked the box on the next screen to replace all child object permissions and click OK. It took some time to change all the permissions, but then I checked the various folders and files to confirm that the standard user was on the list.

  Third: once this was done, I did the same thing AGAIN. Right click the D drive, entered the security, hit advanced, tap on change permissions, open my standard user and he gave TOTAL CONTROL. I hit OK, checked the box on the next screen to replace all child object permissions and click OK. It took some time to change all the permissions, but then I checked the various folders and files to confirm that the standard user was on every list with full control.

  Fourth: I changed to the standard user account and tried to move one of the files previously not moveable, and it worked very well.

  MY THEORY OF WHY THIS HAPPENED: when I reinstalled windows, I chose the same username of the main account again. This may have confused the file system, so I need to get rid of all remnants of the old installation. My username and the name of the computer being the same, I just need to trash the permissions for the old compname/username and then reset again for the compname/current user name.

  I could be WAY OFF with this theory, but it seems to have worked.

  A bit of research I could do, but I'm not going to do, would be to reinstall Windows again and choose a different computer name and the user name to see if the same issues that happened, or if the new permissions set correctly. Or heck, even if the old permissions were still there, but once I took control at the start, it would work. But I'm not going to reinstall Win again, so I don't know who.

  Basically, I think that when you have a situation like mine, it is maybe just tell Windows to appropriate the entire disk is not good enough, and you must make sure that all the old stuff is removed before this. (If your username and compname are the same thing again.)

  As how young Win7 is, I guess the percentage of those who have reinstalled as it is still quite low, so it's probably a problem not frequently encountered. You can have people from MS to test on this!

  Thanks for all the help, I'll be sure to check if there are other problems and let you know!

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• 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. There is no way to recover my OS. Can't afford to buy a new Windows, please I need my computer to manage my eBay business! Can you give me a way to reinstall Windows XP by using my valid license key? = ~ D

  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?
  If you use a PC to manage a business, it is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you have a method to regularly backup all your files! I recommend to start another thread for how to do this!

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

• HP a6130n install Windows XP on the new drive

  Hello

  This is my first post here.  I think I need a new hard drive for my a6130n HP install Windows XP.

  When I tried to install Windows XP on the drive – which had Vista - I kept getting several error messages whenever I tried.  Once or twice I was told to press a button if I was going to enter additional drivers out of a CD.  Then I learned all my space partition was used, so I thought that my hard drive was dead.

  I installed XP on Dells before and it was pretty simple - and never asked me if I had to add drivers.  So, I wonder, if indeed, my current hard drive is dead, can I 'just' put in a new HD Sata, get ready to go on a CD disc or memory - a6130n HP drivers and load Windows XP?

  Or should I find and buy a new hard drive with XP already and the drivers loaded and not try to do it myself?

  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for all your help!

  I'll try that... once more!  With a new/good HD!

• Install Windows 7 on the new drive hard but no disc

  My hard drive has failed recently and I replaced it myself. Now I am trying to install Windows 7 as operating system, but I do not have a disk. All I have is the product key. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated!

  If you do not have a Windows 7 installation disc, you can download an ISO. You will need the key code off the coast of the COA, not key code sticker that used the pre-installation.

  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - U ISO

  English x 64: X 17 - 59465.iso

  Windows 7 Professional SP1 - U ISO

  and then to create a bootable DVD with this...  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Note that:

  1. You will need to back up all your things before we continue...
  2. Use one of the above, it will take a new installation, and you will need to install Windows 7 drivers from the manufacturer of the computer after the basic installation is complete if you want the best from your equipment. A
  3. You have used more than any additional software that has been registered originally before the installation...

• Cannot install Windows 8 with the new drive, because the key will not

  I just rebuilt a 64-bit pc. I had windows 7 on it and decided to do a clean install of windows 8. Bought a version OEM from Amazon yesterday. Arrived today and the disc was in double sealed package of Microsoft Corporation.  The package comes with the key in very small print on the back that I had to read with a magnifying glass. This key is not accepted during the installation of the software. I checked that it was OK and I tried several times but the key has not been accepted. What should I do now?

• Can I install Windows XP on a new drive with the product key only?

  The hard drive on my HP desktop computer failed and died.  I don't have a recovery disk.  Can I reinstall windows XP on a new drive as Windows XP product key is located on the cover of PC.  If so, how?  Any suggestion please!

  With the procuct only key?  No, you cannot, the product key is just a combination of 25 alphanumeric characters, where the installation files will come from?   You will need to contact HP for a recovery disc.
