• HP G60-235: upgrading to Windows 7 after hard drive failure

  First of all I would like to say that I hope that it is in the right part of the Forum, if it not is not please let me know.

  I have a G60-235 HP running Vista.

  My hard drive has failed and that I had tested and it is unusable. I replaced the hard drive with an SSD and don't have an operating system.

  I can't get into the Bios and there may be some info that is needed, f, so please let me know and I'll post it.

  Is - this here anyway to check to see if my HP can handle Windows 7? I downloaded the Windows 7 advisory.

  I also looked for the evaluation version of Windows 7. I could not find. The link I followed by searching showed me the evaluation for 8.1 version.

  I would not buy the full version and find out it does not work, but I also prefer to go back to Vista is possible.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Your model must run Windows 7 well. There are even Win 7 drivers posted at HP. There are 3 different models of G60 235 (CA, DX, WM) listed, but this is an example:

• Reinstalling operating system after hard drive failure. new hard drive is smaller

  Is it possible that I can use the smaller hard disk in my slimline model possible s3500f. The original drive has failed and needs to be replaced. I have that I bought a few years ago, it's 300 GB of the disk sata hard donkey used. The reader who couldn't amounted to 500. I don't just have money to buy another hard drive. Nor have the money to buy a vista 64 installation disc. I made the recovery discs when I bought the machine like a good girl should, but now I find out that they will not work to install the OS on the new drive, because it is smaller.

  Is there a way to get around this? My financial situation like so many others has changed radically since I bought the computer and try to get money$ $ for a new hard drive or Setup disk would take time and my son needs the computer for school, which begins this week.

  Thank you in advance to anyone who knows a solution

  Salvation, which will not work because they will not be able to send a file of 3 GB email.

  Your choices as I see it is to make a 32-bit installation media, or have your friend make the 64-bit support and you deliver the completed flash drive, after they test.

  You can start just up and then cancel the installation - just to make sure it will work.

  Unfortunatly HDD death and recovery partition is no longer accessible.

  Is there a way I can get ISO image with Win8-Ru (or Win8.1 - Ru) to my laptop (with all drivers and HP tools) so I can load them on the flash drive and install?

• How can I recover 12 PE after hard drive failure?

  February 25, 2014, I bought Adobe Premiere elements 12. The "my-products-services" page that it lists as well as all the other Adobe products that I bought for my Windows 7 64-bit desktop PC.

  I managed to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Premium after a catastrophic hard drive failure last month; However, am currently blocked in even trying to locate where on the Adobe Web site it might be permissible for me to re - install. For unknown reasons, my license is ss12, but my order is not listed under account - orders.html #myorderhistory. CS6 is shown on this page and was how I could restore CS6.

  Does anyone know what I should do next?

  Warmly yours.

• Reinstall Vista after hard drive failure

  My hard drive crashed and another was installed by a tech where I took the laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.  The tech installed Vista Home premium on my computer, but it wasn't my reinstallation DVD, I had Dell when I buy the system.  I need to reinstall Vista using my DVD.  Questions: 1 - do reinstall it without losing my existing data?  How do I know if the reinstallation DVD contains Service Pack 2?  The version of the technology used included SP2.  I guess it would be a problem if the DVD of resettlement was not SP2.  Thank you

  It depends on how long you had your Dell notebook about what SP you have and what Dell which you are provided.
  For any questions about the version of the recovery of the Dells software, contact Dell:

• Get Windows 7 upgrade after HARD drive failure

  My HARD drive has failed.  My pc came with Vista with an upgrade to 7.  The recovery disc are Vista.  How can we get 7.  It is impossible to contact HP by email.  My product ID has rubbed off.  Otherwise, I would install just 7.  Any suggestioins?

  Hello

  I think that HP has sent you a DVD with a key for this free upgrade a few years back. You must know where you keep now, otherwise you have to communicate with Misrosoft because it's a Microsoft product, and Microsoft's offer through agreements with other providers of material.

  Kind regards.

• Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

  So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

  The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

  1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

  2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

  Thank you.

  Hi Mike,.

  Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

  It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

  A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

  You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

  I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

  You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

  You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

  If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

• BSOD on install of Windows 7 after hard drive crash

  I have a HP Dv7 with Intel i7 and 8 GB memory. About 3 years.

  Recently, I lost my hard drive to a physical failure. I bought a 120 GB SSD as the principal and a 1 TB drive 7200 RPM as the secondary to be replaced. I ordered the HP restore kit to reinstall Windows 7, but each installation stops at "loading drivers" step and gives me a BSOD. I tried to remove the SSD drive and using only the hard drive, but the same results. Also tried to do a clean install of Windows 7 with an ISO image to a bootable USB key. The same problem. I also tried swapping the primary/secondary locations for readers.

  Nothing I have tried seems to work. I'm desperate for a solution! Why would I get a BSOD on a reinstallation of the software factory?

  I am trying install Windows 7 without SP1 to see if that works, but have no chance. What else can I try? What I have to install Windows 8 to work with the new hard drive or SSD? »

  I tried to restore 4 times (3 hours + per attempt). I tried the clean install of Windows 7 SP1 at least 10 times, each of them do not reach the exact spot. Windows won't INSTALL, so that steps can be taken?

  As I posted earlier, I had problems with installing Windows 7 on my laptop HP Pavilion Dv7 after replacing a hard drive defective. I ordered the kit of training materials ($60) and the operating system of restoration kit (essentially Windows 7 and drivers) on a 4 disc set. I paid the extra money for all accelerated for me.

  After you have installed a 120 GB SSD and the new 1 TB drive 7200 RPM, I tried to install the operating system using the DVD restore I ordered. Each installation took about 4 hours and each of the 3 times (i.e. 12 hours!) installation has failed at the end of the installation process. Then I downloaded a clean version of Windows 7 ISO and burned a bootable USB an attempt installs another 15, which also failed at the end of the installation process.

  In desperation, I contacted HP support and was informed that I had to pay for technical support. I must say that I was really disappointed by HP and HP «each incident» support I spent $59 and 3 hours talk with some idiots in the new Delhli, who accompanied me through a few tests of BIOS of base no matter what 3-year-old could have understood, I sent them a picture of the BSOD and error code, and they arrived at their 'solution' to send me my laptop to HP for them to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system for the pittance of $200 and 7 to 9 days!

  I refused their generous offer to relieve myself of the burden of $ 200 in my wallet and took the laptop to Fry when I bought it. After 15 minutes of discussion about my question, the tech told me that I needed to install the Intel drivers during the installation of Windows 7. He popped a USB key containing the Intel drivers, I've needed, continued with the installation of Windows 7, and I was back at home with a working machine within the hour. It cost me $35. A BARGAIN, given that HP, the company that BUILT my laptop was completely distraught about this problem and the only solution was to deprive me of my laptop for 9 days and during this time, charge me $200.

  So to all who read this, please pay NOT for the HP "per incident" support. They are slightly educated idiots who know no more about the HP product than your typical 3 yr old child. For example, they suggested that the HP laptop in my possession was "very sensitive" and I wouldn't be able to put 'any hard disk that was not exactly to the same specification as that was in it from the factory'.  Idiots.

  I you need to re - install Windows 7 on your laptop, visit the Intel website and download "floppy" (i.e. not the executable versions which self install) versions of their drivers for your laptop, load on a USB stick and when begins the installation of Windows 7 where it asks if you want to load the drivers, select the drivers on your USB key and installation will be smooth.

  Again, how is it possible that HP and their support forums are not aware of the problem or the solution? Seriously. This is probably the last HP I buy. Just exhausting and annoying to deal with this.

• How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

  I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

  I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

  I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

  How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

  First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
  Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

  What about the secure boot option?
  Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

• Do I have to disable the Windows key of I intend to reinstall Windows on another hard drive?

  I have a TB HDD which was once my main OS (Windows 7) until the motherboard and the PSU broke. I bought new equipment and could not get my old hard drive as Windows 7 above to start. I would like to get a quick flash of the blue screen of death, and the system was in the same boot loop. My brother-in-law brother let me borrow an another disk drive hard 80gig empty I was able to install the OS on and reconnect my old drive to recover all my pictures, music, videos and documents. Now I want to format my old 1 TB drive and reinstall my OS on that drive. I have to turn off the key? Is there a limit to how many times you can use your key? I could have sworn that Windows XP has been like that?

  It would be similar to Apple's iTunes software, where you can disable the service before you can reinstall.

  If it is a complete retail Windows 7 license and this is the same computer, you can just reinstall and reactivate automatically. If the Activation of the Internet does not work, use the phone activation:
