Hi Gaznangie,

Given that your Windows XP is already installed on your pc, you should contact the manufacturer for support of recovery from them directly.

If you are interested in possibly upgrading to Windows 7, please see the following link for more information:

  • Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
    So, how can I put the o/s back on?

    Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
    But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

    But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
    After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
    I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
    Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

    How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

    The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

    Hello

    You need to create the own recovery in the past disc!
    This recovery disk allows you to install the Toshiba image after the HARD drive is dead or has been replaced.

    In case you have not created this disk, it is possible to order this support:

    Hello

    Because you replaced the hard drive, your windows product code can not be validated. I suggest you to change the product key by using the product key. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  • Reinstall Windows XP after replacing hard drive

    I had to replace the hard drive on my Lenovo 3000 n200 laptop. The old drive was unusable and recover nothing from him. I have backups of all the files and folders to an external drive, but this does not have to reinstall XP Pro on the new hard drive. No CD of the operating system that is not supplied with the laptop. I'm trying to reinstall using the original disc I386 folder but WINNT32 ends without any indication of the reasons why after asking for a key product and running for a short period. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    oldrah

    Has received recovery disks (2 discs) and ran the recovery process. Win XP installed and Setup took place, but lacked 9 pilots. A call to Lenovo support has led to a very nice lady to help me to track down and install the missing drivers. In order to facilitate its work, I enabled him to use a remote access facility to support my laptop and do what was necessary to install the drivers. Later, I've updated Windows for common maintenance and has started to re - install some software that had been on the laptop. Everything on the laptop is roughly back to where it was before the hard drive is dead, or better. Quite a learning experience.

  • Reinstall Vista clean after replacing hard drive

    Hard drive crashed in my Acer Aspire 3680-2682. I replaced the hard drive with a larger HARD drive and did a clean reinstall of Vista Basic to my CD anytime upgrade. My computer did not come with recovery discs and the recovery partition of course disappeared as well.

    Can I use my same product key that is on my COST base sticker of Vista?

    If you want to reinstall Vista to how you purchased the computer, use the ORIGINAL product key that was on the computer to do.

    It was what was my original advice.

  • Can I reinstall after replacing hard drive?

    I need to replace my hard drive. Can I reinstall Windows Vista on the new drive? I have to do something in order to reuse the product key?

    Yes, you can reinstall Vista on the new drive (but it must be removed from the old drive or the old disk must be ignored if you can't access it to remove the program).

    You may have problems with automatic activation (not usually, but sometimes).  If so, simply activate manually.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Version Windows 7 Basic reinstall after replacing hard drive

    I lost my restore CD and had to replace my hard drive. The system had a preinstalled version of Windows 7 Basic. The key does not exist in my laptop lenovo. Can you please let me know if the same key can be used if I download the software from the site of Ms.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Hello

    The problem is the fact that the original HDD in your notebook is 750 GB and you have replaced this with a 320 GB drive - recovery disks have problems when you try to install on a disk that is inferior in quality to the training they were created from.

    There is another solution, you can try.

    First of all, don't forget, you can read and write the available 25-character activation key on your label COST.

    Then, using another PC, download the Image file for Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit. and save it in your downloads folder.

    Once the download is complete, use a program like ImgBurn to write the Image to a blank DVD Windows system file - a guide on this can be found here.

    Once the installation disc has been created, typing away at the ESC key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Setup DVD.  Select the Boot Manager option ( f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "press any key to continue...". ", do.

    During installation, enter the activation key for Windows on demand and when the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system.
