• cd/dvd missing after the replacement of hard disk and windows drive

  I have a laptop Lenovo I had to replace a hard drive, and Windows 7.  I've been able to do and got going, or so I thought.  I went to use the cd/dvd drive and nothing.  Looking at the Panel control does not show a d: / at all.  Device Manager shows a drive. (I think)  He said same drive works fine on the Properties screen.

  Any ideas on how to get it working or back?  Or should I go to ebay and get an external hard drive?

  Thank you, in advance, for any help.

• Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium after the passage of hard drives. Lost activation key between yesterday and today.

  Everything is in the title, well enough. I bought a student upgrade copy of Windows 7 in late 2009 / early 2010 and installed it via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro. I recently updated my hard drive, and to my dismay, did not have my backup of Windows and so I reinstalled the operating system. My only problem is that I lost the key. Can't find anywhere I tried to download a product keys Locator, but when I entered the key, it gave me it tells me that there is a default keyboard and can therefore be used for activation.

  I'm kind of at a loss for what to do here. The ID of the product was rejected when I looked, but I know for a fact that this copy of Windows is legitimate, since I checked before BONE. Any help would be appreciated...

  If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

• I just have to install a new hard drive and Vista on my Toshiba Satellite pro computer laptop I gave up and damage the hard drive.

  I can't set up a broadband connection using the cable or wireless such that it does not recognize either. Also, the font is huge and I can't find anywhere to reduce only expand. I also have to install a Toshiba installation disc?

  If the installation disc includes the drivers for your motherboard, display and Wi - Fi then yes do you.

  You can also find drivers as follows. Go to the Toshiba support website and search for Windows Vista drivers for your specific model number.

  Toshiba support: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp

  If there are Windows Vista drivers can download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card mother/chipset, SATA, USB drivers, Audio, LAN, Etc., and so on.

  Open the Windows Update - click the link view updates installed on the left of the page

  in the list, find the WAT update KB971033, and then uninstall it.

  Then restart and reinstall the update from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

  I had to replace my hard drive and cannot find the disc for my Photoshop Elements 9, so I need to download on the internet. I connected to Adobe and got my serial number when I bought and then went to downloads. There is only one place that has an option to download items and it is grouped under 9,8,7. I downloaded and then it opened and when I click on install, I get the above message. I don't understand what else to do. I don't mind the upgrade if that's what I have to do but didn't have the 9 items I bought initially already installed on my computer?

  Help, please... I am not very computer detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

• Re: Equium A100 - 2 L - the search for the replacement of HARD drive

  I inherited an Equium A100 - 2L (PSAAQE) of my brother, but he kept the hard drive damaged in the hope of saving its data on it. Can anyone recommend a hard drive replacement, and I need one any attachment or additional connector?
  Looking at various Web sites, I'm puzzled by this disc to buy regarding dimensions (SFF, 1/8 H etc.)

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you need a t n pregnant additional or connector. The caddy HARD drive you need you can use old HARD drive and the connector is soldered to the motherboard. So when you replace the HARD drive, you need only one new, what s.

  Equium A100 has already SATA interface that means you buy a HARD drive with SATA interface, but it of not important if she s SATA1 or SATA2 interface because the two standards will work (SATA2 is compatible downgrade to SATA1).

  So just buy a * 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface *. Also there is no capacity limit, 500GB or more should work and manufacturing is also independent.
  Just look at some online stores and buy a HARD drive with good price / performance. :)

• Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.

  Hello

  I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop.  The HARD drive failed and the system unusable.  I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media.  The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.

  The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid.  I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.

  I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  you use an OEM SLP key that only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

  change the product key to that on computers of COA
  Click Start, type slui3, press ENTER.

  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  How to get Vista recovery Media to back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
