• Hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but couldn't get the windows genuine back 8

  Original title: recovery of original windows 8

  When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.

  Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

  If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• Re: Satellite U400-11 q with Vista has new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  Hello

  Before starting a very important message: I do not usually work with pc... :-) At my work we have an IT Department for our PC :-))

  However, now I have to work privately with a PC / laptop and I need help: I'm sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11 q with a HARD drive completely newly formatted and unfortunately WITHOUT recovery CD or DVD!

  So far I managed to format the new HARD drive and put a Windows Vista Home Basic (OEM software) from my old pc on this notebook. However, nothing works again (I want to get into the Internet, etc.).

  So, I now have to put on all the involved drivers as well as drivers TOSHIBA original, right?

  How can I do this? What drivers to I need? Do I have to download all the drivers concerned (total 113) one by one on the Web from Toshiba site?

  ANY help is appreciated as I see myself spend all night in front of the PC...

  Thank you
  M

  For the benefit of mobile work, you need to install all the necessary drivers and tools and utilities.
  Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Any substance must be installed according to installation order. Here it is:
  Windows Vista SP1
  Chipset Intel module
  Intel Robson (Intel iMSM Driver)
  Intel Crestline-GM / UMA Driver
  or
  AMD M82XT /M86 driver
  Audio driver Conexant CX20561
  Driver LAN Marvell 8040/8055
  Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
  Conexant Modem driver
  Wireless LAN driver
  Chicony camera software
  Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
  CIR Port driver
  TOSHIBA Value Added Package
  TOSHIBA hardware configuration utility
  TOSHIBA supervisor password
  TOSHIBA SD Memory utilities
  AuthenTec AES1610 fingerprint utility
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree
  TOSHIBA Assist
  TOSHIBA Speech System
  CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
  Toshiba HDD Protection
  TOSHIBA face recognition
  TOSHIBA TRS driver
  Broadcom V2.14.4.0
  HDMI Control Manager
  ProtonPack for Vista

  Install all the stuff on this list. If there is something missing just continue with the next.

  By the way: this machine works perfectly with Win7 32-bit so I highly recommend you to use Win7 instead of Vista.

• Satellite L450 - install the new hard drive

  Hi, I hope someone can help, I have a Satellite L450, which has windows 7 preloaded on it. However, the hard drive became corrupt and unable to use, unfortunately I never backed up anything.
  Can I buy a new hard drive and install it? If yes how to operate as I no o/s on cd?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi 4ordie,

  Of course, you can replace the HARD drive that s no problem. Replace HARD drive has 5 or 10 minutes and you can do it yourself because it s not very complicated.

  New drive HARD doesn t contain all the files and you will need to install the operating system and all the drivers yourself but I m wondering why you don t have an installation disc (recovery). It s clearliy mentioned in the manual how to do this.

  In any case, no, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings:

• Satellite A100 - 551 (PSAA2E) - new HARD drive freeze computer

  Hello

  Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

  I have a Satellite A100-551 and original 80 GB SATA HARD disk is dead. It works enough, but there are a lot of mistakes on its surface and the pc go very slow!
  So, I buy another drive.
  This one: [samsung 250 GB | http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/showdetl.cfm?product_id=422226&option=1]

  I have install on the pc but when I start the pc freeze.
  At startup, there is a moment where a normal message saying that I can access the F2 BIOS with a progressbar for loading.

  The freezing of progressbar and nothing else has add.
  If I press F2 nothing adds.
  I can't do nothing.

  Is it possible to get started with my new HARD drive?

  Is there some hard drive not recommended?

  Thanks for your replies.

  Strange, but perhaps the new HARD drive is defective or not compatible with your laptop.
  Have you tested the new HARD drive in a laptop or in an external HARD drive enclosure? It work?

  You can go into the BIOS without HARD drive?
  Check it!

  In your case I would use check the HARD drive in another laptop first, and then maybe you should try another of your laptop HARD drive.

  Good luck!

• Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

  My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

  Not found boot device
  
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive.
  
  Hard Drisk (3F0)
  
  F2 System Diagnostics
  
  "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"
  
  I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
  "HDD test failed.
  There is no hard drive.

  I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

  SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

  It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

  Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

  Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

  Hard disks are a small fraction of the cost of a laptop and if your what it takes to, I would say that to replace the hard drive rather than buy a new one.

  It is an excellent drive at a great price:

• Adobe Acrobat 4.0. Reinstallation on the new hard drive, but now receives an incompatibility error

  My hard drive crashed and I need to charge my programs. I have dell optiplex. They sent me a disk image hard because I'm under warranty. It runs Windows 7 sp1. Before the hard drive crash, I used my Adobe Acrobat 4.0. I get my new hard drive and am reloading the same programs I've had. Except, I now get an error of incompatibility. This is meaningless to me, as I had win 7 before sp1, I installed Adobe Acrobat 4.0 before, but now it will not work because during the installation, I get an errior of the incompatibility. Are there workarounds.

  Acrobat 4,5,6,7 are not compatible with 64 bit systems. 8.1 seemed to work. Since then, we had 9,10,11 and now "DC". You seem to have got a lucky streak.

• Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

  I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
  Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

  The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
  Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

  If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

  Hello

  AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
  This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

  Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
  If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

  I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

  Best regards
