  • Can I format HARD drive and reinstall Windows 7 on the Qosmio F60 without CD

    I think my hard drive is faulty on my F60 Quosmio so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and the information with me at the moment so I don't know if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Whatever it is, I don't have the CD.

    I found on the net that most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during startup. Anyone know if the F60 Quosmio comes with a CD or if she has this recovery partition or partition image factory? Or do you know if there is a way I can check if my computer is it?

    If you have more information about the formatting of the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 without the CD please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • How to remove all the drives except 0:0 "Computer1" and re - joining "computer2" all disks

    Hello

    I need to find a way with PowerCLI can I analyze virtual named "machine1" across all the disks on a computer off, and detach all disks except the system disk (0:0).  Next, I would like to re - join these discs "computer2".  Seems to be there should be a way to do this using the Remove Disk command, but I don't know how I would keep track of all the disks as Computer1 can have a different number of disks attached whenever I run this script.  Can anyone help?

    Try something like that.

    $vmName1 = "vm1.

    $vmName2 = "vm2.

    $vm1 = get-VM-name $vmName1

    $vm2 = get-VM-name $vmName2

  • How can I remove linux and reinstall windows 8.1?

    Hello. I recently installed a distribution linux (OS elementary, Luna) on my HP Pavilion g6. My pc is preinstalled with Windows 8. I decided to evaluate linux and installed on my computer. I was not paying attention when installing and apparently replaced Windows 8. My question is, how do I get it back? I am a person without any repair records and don't have anyway make one (since I am just a computer nerd aged 15 years). I heard that HP computers have a bios recovery console, but if that's true how to reach it?

    Info by the PC.

    Model: Pavilion g6

    Storage: 683.5 GB

    RAM: 5.3 GB

    Processor: AMD A8 - 4500 M APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM) x 4

    Graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Devicd 9903

    Boot from the recovery of Windows 8 media, if you

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    For this reason, you will not be able to use the Windows 8 disc retail to activate the license incorporated, it does not recognize. That's why you need HP recovery media, otherwise you will end up having to buy a new license.

  • Remove all and reinstall Windows

    Hello

    I've updated my PC Windows 7 to Windows 8 a few months ago and a few minor but annoying problems (in particular, any program sometimes hangs when you open a file selection window, such as open file or save under).

    Since I have no problem with my laptop which came with Windows 8 OEM (rather than be updated), I thought I could get all those resolved by using the function "all delete and reinstall Windows.

    Could you is it someone please let me know if this is going to do a clean install, as if I had installed Windows on a formatted disk, or if she just wants to reset all the same condition as after the initial upgrade, less user profiles and data?

    If I go down this path, by using the migration wizard to save all data on an external drive and it recover after reinstallation there would be a recommended way to go?

    Thank you!

    I understand it will remove all the data, but I wonder if Windows is reinstalled as on a formatted hard disk clean, or just reset be based on the existing installation (which can not solve my problems).

    It will reinstall Windows 8, but all your personal files and applications, and the settings will be deleted.

    It will more than likely solve any problem you may encounter.

    Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.

    I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.

    to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

    Hi Keith,

    You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.

    The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software.  For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:

    Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia

    Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • I have a dell latitude 610 laptop that I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp pro and it does not have all the internet apps

    When I reinstalled win xp pro it didn't install any help net drivers that I can't get on internet

    If you cannot access to the use of the internet, another computer and save the driver on a CD/DVD/card reader.

    Download network drivers for Internet

    Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.
