• I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

  Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

  Hello!

  I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

  WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
  * key series *.
  * numbers of many * X 1881991

  Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

  Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

• I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now".

  I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now". The code on the computer case was partly carried away and I do not have a record of it. The software has been activated once already. Suggestions, please.

  original title: hard drive swap.

  Use a magnifying glass and a strong light and see if you can retrieve the key.  It is not registered anywhere except on the label.  They are applied at the factory in batches, and there is no record that the key is affixed to a specific computer.  Recover what you can and then try to activate by phone.

  To activate Windows Vista by phone, follow these steps: click Start, and then click computer.  Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.  The Windows of Activation Wizard starts.  Click use the telephone system automated in the Windows Wizard of Activation.

• Audio options gone after replacing the hard drive, reinstall Windows and the DVD drivers

  I had to replace my hard drive and I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium DVD.  Now, I've lost a lot of my audio options.  I used to be able to choose between different styles of sound (i.e. Live, pop, classic, etc.) and I had various effect options.  They are all gone.  I tried to update the drivers in Device Manager, but it says I have the updated driver.

  You may need to search the support site of your

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

• Replacing a hard drive me

  I have a 2010 tour desk HPE 170 t running windows 7-64 bit. I got an error message saying hard drive failed Smart self-test. What I read this means that my hard drive will fail. I will try to install a new hard drive myself. I have two recovery disks that I did when I got the computer, and I did a system image backup on DVD yesterday. To program the new hard drive I want to use the recovery disks, disks of system image or both? This is new territory for me. Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, if it's any help, it is a guide (including a video preview) to replace the HARD drive of your PC at the following link.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01882178

  Note:  It is best to replace the HARD drive with one of equal capacity as the drive that you are replacing to avoid possible problems if you decide to use recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Regarding the 2 options, you must reinstall the operating system, you must only choose 1 of them - a brief description is detailed below.

  Recovery using recovery disks.

  Use these disks to reinstall the operating system on your new drive will return your machine for the exact conditions, he was at the time of purchase - that is to say, you will have to reinstall all programs etc that you added later and all Windows updates.  A guide on this procedure can be found on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867418

  Recovery using a system image.

  This option will return your machine to the exact state it's in when the Image has been created - that is to say, it will contain all your installed programs, updates of windows, files, persoal etc.  When you created the Image of the system, you should have been prompted to create an at the end of the process system repair disc (if you haven't, let me know because there is an option to download available).

  To reload an Image of the system at the new disk, you must start the PC from the from the system repair disc, select 'Repair your computer' and follow the method 3on the link below to load the Image.

• Replacing the hard drive HP G62-450SA model / recovery. Windows 7

  Hello

  Last week my laptop started running very slowly, and after a few tests, it seems that the hard drive is on its way.

  I phoned to HP supports, however is out of warranty I wasn't able to get a real support, but advised him to watch the online support pages to back up my files, create a file recovery on a usb device and then it would be as simple as taking on the old hard drive, put in the new, and following the instructions to recover my system and files.

  So after these tips, I've created:

  -A recovery image USB on a Virgin USB key, using the Recovery Manager

  -A backup on an external hard drive using the backup and restore

  -An image of the system by using the backup and restore.

  Then I replaced the hard drive.

  When I turned on the laptop all I get is a black screen that says "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any key".

  I have not all discs. I thought that was the point of creating the recovery image on the USB key? I insert the USB key, and it is not recognized.

  If at this point, I'm stuck. I'm not all boards because HP say they have to charge me.

  Please can anyone here tell me what to do next? What I need to buy recovery discs or is there a way I can install the new hard drive by using the above files?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You are welcome

  Another option, you can try would be to restore the system image you created - you can do the following.

  If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Windows 7 64 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  When creating, type following the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu, and then insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  Connect the drive that contains the system image you have created and then follow method 3 below to reload the image on the new HARD drive.

• Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

  I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

  Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

  Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

  (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

  (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

  (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

  (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

  (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

  (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
  _________

  The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

  So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

  This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

• Replacing the hard drive DELL XPS L501X

  Lately, I got some error messages like "SMART has detected a hard disk failure." Back up your data immediately. »

  I think there is no option available troubleshooting now and I need to replace my HARD drive with a new one. Indicate if there is. For a new HARD drive, I came across Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 which has the best record and is available at a very good price. Some of its strengths:

  • First 7200 RPM, 500 GB in a 7mm single disc design
  • Advanced format, 512-byte emulation
  • First interface SATA 6 Gb/s on a mobile HARD drive

  I'm just worried if I do I face compatibility problems as it has only 7 mm in height compared to my older HDD which was 9.5 mm in height. I'd love to learn more about this and other suggestions you might have.

  All SATA drives are backward compatible - and SATA6G questions only for SSDS.  No hard drive can withstand even 150 Mbps - and yet less than 3G / 6G.  The interface may, but does not have the mechanical hard drives.

  But, if you can read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop, I have a free solution to install a simplified version of W7 using the code the product key on your laptop.

  Here's how...

  Download the ISO file from W7 Home Premium 64 bit from the Microsoft link below.

  http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-58997.ISO 2147483647 English Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 X 17 - 58997.iso

  Make sure that you got the file from xx GB 3. integers download, in rare circumstances, you get a full notification of download, but you do not receive the entire file to download.

  After you download the ISO file, you can burn it to a DVD using the ISO file burn option on your DVD burning program, or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB DVD or 4 GB drive.

  The tool also performs the bootable media.

• Replace a hard drive in 2330 Inspiron all-in-One

  You need to replace the hard drive in my all-in-one. Old drive completely zapped and no way to recover anything. After that I installed the HD, then I just insert a drive of W7, turn on and get a Setup screen?

  In addition, I have the pictures stored on an external drive. After that I installed W7, can I use these images to return to my lost OS?

  To boot from the Windows 7 disc, you will need to press F12 and choose the option to boot from the optical drive. It should start and begin the installation, but will ask you to choose different options for Windows.

  When it's done, you need to install the drivers for the hardware in this system and in the right order. You can download the drivers from the Dell Support using any PC site and save it on a USB key for installation on the AIO.

  I do not understand the second question. If you perform a clean Windows 7 install, you will not need the OS from the image. You may be able to open this image and the personal files, but you cannot retrieve any software that was previously installed. Software must be installed directly in Windows 7.

  But depending on how you created the image on the external drive, you should be able to use it in order to directly imager the new disk, with certain restrictions. You will need a bootable CD/DVD with the imaging software on it in order to start the PC and then tell her image to install on the new drive. Do not forget that some imaging software will allow you only to image the new drive if it is exactly the same size as the drive on which the image was created, but some imaging software can give you the option to install the image on a driver which is bigger than the original.

  Better read the instructions of your imaging software specific see what you need and how to use it for the new disc of images.

  Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012.  This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.

  I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

  IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?

  Is it really worth?

  Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.
