This new computer doesn't have a hard drive and I can't figure out how to download it on my new computer. I must not have created an Adobe account when I initially purchased and downloaded on my other computer. How can I still download it if the serial number does not appear in my plans and products page? I still have the drive and everything that came with it.

• How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

  I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

  Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

  By WikiPedia:

  • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
  • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

  You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

  Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

  A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

• How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

  Hello
   
  I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

  How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

  Thanks in advance!

  Mike

  You can 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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Installed the new hard drive and now can't activate Widnows 7 as it says not valid for clean installation

  This computer is having problems and we tried to upgrade to Windows 7 hard drive crashed.  We installed the new hard drive.  Now, we try to activate this copy but code comes up saying invalid for a clean install.  We need to have some new code or just get ours to work.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• portable hard drive crashed where can I get a windows disc.

  I have a laptop that was purchased for me awhile back and two weeks ago, that the hard drive failed and I had to replace.

  My question is how can I reinstall windows.

  It was running xp professional and has a certificate of authenticity, but it never came with any disks.

  I tried to contact the manufacturer, but they even my model on system there is more.

  Help, please.

  Hello Robert.

  As Carey has said before, no, unfortunately. The only option you have is to either buy a system with Windows 7, contact the manufacture of material, as you have already done or search online for a copy of Windows XP. I would avoid the auction sites like most sold operating systems there are not authentic. Thank you.

• Satellite M30 is not unbootable HARD drive and I can find no error

  When I start the laptop, I get only a black screen (after the Toshiba/Bios screen) and a flashing cursor. Nothing else happens. I didn't like the change of configuration, updates etc. before that happened.
  I am able to start the computer from the CD (with a XP pro CD or UBCD4win) drive and access the hard drive (so I was able to copy all of my data to an external hard drive), it does not start only windows (XP Professional SP3) from this drive!

  Using UBCD4win, I ran diagnosis tools like memtest and TestDisk, without any reported errors. I also ran DFT (drive fitness test) of Hitachi (which is my hard drive manufacturer). Have not found errors, too. I also tried the repair install of windows, which went very well, but has not changed the situation at all. Also, I tried fixboot, fixmbr and bootcfg/rebuild of the recovery console, does not solve the problem. Load default BIOS - no change. I'm out of ideas...

  So does anyone have an idea what's wrong with the system? I find no error, but this thing just does not start from the hard drive. Any idea/input is very appreciated!

  Hey Buddy

  > there must be a way to solve the problem without having to reinstall the entire system.
  I doubt that!
  Not all problems can be solved without having to reinstall Windows.

  I know this is strange and it takes a lot of time to install all your programs, but I think that in this case, it is the only solution for this. I mean you have tried many things and if a Windows repair installation does not, for me are obvious: a relocation complete!

  You can spend more time to solve this problem without having to reinstall Windows, but don t forget you can do a complete new installation at the same time.
  Think about it! ;)

  Good luck!

• Set password hard drive and now can't unlock!

  I have a brand new T410s who has 1.34 BIOS factory installed. I used the BIOS option to set a hard drive password, choose the option 'user' (not ' user + master'). As I was just testing, I put an easy to remember the password "password". It has a Samsung SSD. However, now it does not accept "password" to unlock the drive and won't let me not in the BIOS unless I have remove the disc before feeding! Y at - it a bug with setting the drive of this new BIOS passwords? I had several Thinkpads over the years and have never seen one that...

  Hmm, thanks for the interesting reference. However, in my case, it seems that I'm the one that randomly changed my password when the keystroke! I tried some typo were variations and it unlocked with 'passwprd"instead of"password "!

• my work does'nt of hard drive and I can start a dick or dvd

  put a disc in the drive and it does'nt download

  Thank you for using the MICROSOFT FORUMS!

  SINCE you say that do not load disks, what happens when you put it?  Nothing?  The autorun popup appears asking what you want to do with the material on the disc? You should try a disc cleaner lens first, perhaps several times if you have not used a recently or before. The time recommended between cleanings is generally 10 to 12 hours of use between cleanings, more if you use the player heavily, or if you live in a place dusty (and who doesn't?).

  If you have checked in the Device Manager, and it appears in your "my computer" folder, with the device full name - for example "makername-somemodelnumberhere" then the link of the site I next post can help you. "Is IT SHOWN IN MANAGER of DEVICES AS IS"CD-ROM"or CD/DVD-ROM" THEN IT IS NOT PROPERLY RECOGNIZED, even IF WINDOWS IS ACKNOWLEGING HIS EXISTENCE - and you will need to reinstall the drivers for it.
