Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

Evening,

I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

Thank you

It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

    Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

    I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

    Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

    I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

    I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

    The catalog would have another name or extension?

    I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

    Help!

    HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

    And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

  • Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS

    Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings.  Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.  I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.

    Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere?  I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.

    It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:

    Hello

    First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    ***************************************************

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • I let someone use my computer and somehow they ended up formatting my hard drive, so now I have no operating system. If windows are not coming how can I fix.

    I let someone use my computer and somehow they formatted my computer, s he always tells me to run the Startup Repair, but it won't let me. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:

    If Windows 7 is pre-installed:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
    ------------------------------------
    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

  • I don't have any windows XP CD. How can I reinstall my operating system?

    My computer came with windows XP CD. Now I have problems and want to wipe out my computer and return to the factory settings, can someone help me please. Thank you

    Hello ShirleyDavisSH,

    If your computer is suddenly missing from programs and started giving error messages, this can be caused by malicious software.

    The the more effective way to ensure that malware has been removed is to perform a new installation of the operating system or a system recovery, as you have previously suggested.  Before that, I recommend you to save the data files you do not want to lose out on a CD/DVD or external hard drive.

    That being said, it may be possible to clean malware off the machine.  There are several applications free antivirus that you can download and run on the system.  Alternatively, you can download the free Microsoft anti-virus - Microsoft Security Essentials - at the following link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx

    Let us know if you have any questions.

  • Time Machine replacement drive but can not see the old backups

    Race X Server on 10.11.2 with 5.0.15

    My Time Machine hard disk became full and I replaced it with a new, larger, in the car. I copied everything (using the Finder) from the old to the new drive and set it as the destination of Time Machine for a couple of Mac network.

    I now have a 'new' backup, I don't see one of my old files when entering TM. I can't see my old backups that I copied the disk of TM "Daves Mac.sparsebundle" and alongside a new "Daves Mac 1.sparsebundle.

    How can I continue to use the old backup data?

    Thank you

    "Dave."

    On your Mac TimeMachine backup was severed with the sparsebundle backup on the server - which obviously you saw. If you run this command on one of your Mac you will see something like this (it's just for example).

    $ tmutil destinationinfo

    The key is that there is an ID associated to backup to the Time Machine backup of service on your OS X Server. This ID is what Time Machine use when working with backups.

    You need to 'reconnect', or 'reassociate', your client computer for backup sparsebundle. The page for command tmutil...

  • Windows 7 says this isn't authentic after changing the HARD drive and can not activate

    After a Windows Update I received a notice that my version of windows was not authentic, which is false because I had windows on my laptop because I got it 4 years ago. Recently, I had to have the changed HARD drive as it corrupts. Installed new HARD drive and partition it a space in which the old files to hard drives. Seemed to turn very well when HARD drives were exchanged and windows installed on the new drive until windows update. My Microsoft certificate key is passed out to illegible but I don't have the product key for the OEM version. Any help would be great, thanks.

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, you can enable using the code from the sticker on the computer.  If you can not read the sticker more, you will need to contact the computer company he built.

    If you purchased Windows from the store, you can enable using the code of the case/box/CD.  If you can't read it, you must contact the retailer who sells to you.
