  Hello

  This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

  I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

  It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

  Saving your files:

  You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

  Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

• Replaced the hard drive, need help with drivers and utilities!

  Hello

  Yesterday, I replaced my old hard drive with a new WD, and I reinstalled Windows Vista.  Everything goes fine until I jumped in the utilities and drivers (Resource CD) supplied with the laptop.  I guess I thought that the CD all the work, would do to reinstall all the necessary drivers and utilities...  Now I'm stuck with a laptop computer that cannot connect to the internet, and the screen is too big.  I don't know there is more wrong with my laptop than meets the eye.  On the CD of drivers & utilities there the list of drivers and some of them have check marks, others do not.  I tried following some online course on which those who/what order to upload, but I don't even have some recommended drivers on the Dell.com site (specific to my Inpiron 1545 model)!  I know that I could download them immediately the site, but I don't even have wifi to do.

  In addition, I read the performance of a Dell Factory Image Restore and I tried it.  When I get the black screen with no option, I have to click on "Repair computer" but the option is not available either... I thought that maybe it would be an easy way to restore my laptop (readers and all) to the original settings.  Maybe the option is not there because my computer is practically empty, with nothing to restore? All I have on my laptop at the moment is Windows Vista 64 bits and drivers a couple that I don't know much.

  Bit of help and advice would be great.

• Help, I need to replace my hard drive in my hp pavilion a6863w how can I do this?

  The surface of the hard drive, test and get the test failed, a seagate 2 TB SSHD. I want to install it and I'm sure that I can do, but I need to know if I should leave the wrong disc in and just add this one, if I do this will it take all other cables, if yes, I'd rather just old-fashioned.
  I have the recovery install disks that I made when I bought first. I used these b4 to reinstall.

  I just need to know the steps if I add the 2nd disc or steps (if I need a cable) to replace the old disk with a new disk. This player would be my boot drive? When I ask for the steps, I'm more concerned about turning off the computer and what is it I have unplugged, etc.. Then once the new drive up, just run the recovery discs or y at - it an easier way?
  I tried to run a backup, but he stopped and wouldn't let me. I have all my important things like photo movies already saved etc.

Remove the old drive, replace it with a new one and use the set of recovery disks. Choose factory image recovery.

Put the new drive in the same place as the old one and use the same cables (data and power) who were connected on.

  The disk is probably not a problem when it comes to Windows 7 is. Problems with installing Windows 7 (material) are more likely to be the motherboard, processor, and memory. Software problems can also come to light.

  If your old drive is now just a paperwieght, while the new drive must be of the same type as the original, i.e. SATA or PATA (IDE). I use 'black' all WD SATA disks where I can because of the 5-year warranty, but they cost more. I don't know if there is any PATA WD drives available now, or what the guarantee is if there are.

  To install XP, you will need to use all media provided by Dell for this purpose, or contact Dell for replacements.

  Without having to install XP to download and run the Windows 7/8 upgrade advisor you will need to allow hardware and software research yourself.

• Hard drive needs to be replaced

  Dell Diagnostics says I need to replace the hard drive.  I have two that is faulty?  The error message is o-s/n-wd-wcatr7339737

  Dell diagnostics (F12 at startup) will tell you which drive has failed.

  If both disks are part of a RAID 0 array, you can consider replacing both of them - they are both the same age and likely came from the same production batch, which means that it is very possible that the other player may not long to live, either.

  I don't really know what that NTI, but I would not trust this application with your files. Back up your files REGULARLY, it's something you can do already, not only to replace your hard drive. And that means understand where all your important files and using an easy to keep on a separate hard drive backup program.

  Archives = backup files to a permanent location, such as a CD or DVD, in a location separate from your computer.

• I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7

  I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7. I want to reinstall it on the new hard drive running on linux but on install windows 7 on a virtual hard drive, how can I transfer the activation code

  In other words, you can't.

  Assuming that your edition of Windows 7 is the one that supports the transfer of a virtual machine (i.e. the upscale home and more)...

  You will need to do a clean install of the virtual machine, using the retail media and the key of the COA sticker.

  You may need to activate by phone.

  Note that Samsung have historically refused to provide any form of media except through a factory install. This means that it is almost impossible to install the original media for anything except the original disk, using the recovery partition.

• I replaced my hard drive and format my computer before turning off the software PS.  It need my code series now, but I had lost.  How can I solve the problem and use the software again?

  I replaced my hard drive and format my computer before turning off the software PS.  It need my code series now, but I had lost.

  How can I solve the problem and use the software again?

  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.
