  You will need to make a DVD or USB key to reinstall the operating system or of order recovery disks

  You can contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

• Install XP on a new hard drive using my old cd key

  My current hard drive gives me a lot of trouble so I decided to buy a new.

  But im worried if I install xp with my old cd key on a new hard drive would cause it to be not genuine.
  BTW, my version is an OEM xp professional

  You can install OEM XP Professional on a new hard drive on the same computer using the same CD key.

  If Windows XP asks you to activate the product, start the activation process via Internet.  If that says that the CD key has already been installed on another computer, activate by phone and explain the situation to the person at Microsoft.

• Hi I reinstalled my Win XP Home because the current drive was getting old. But I installed it on a new hard drive connected as "Slave" but now he can't start

  I have connected the new hardrive as a 'slave', re-installed my Win XP even & re-patched everything on it including SP3, programs & ups back-ups, but oh no! the new hard drive when it is plugged in as a 'master', it does not start!

  But with the old hard drive connected as long as 'master', I have the option of "dual boot".

  I guess because my new drive is not a reader of "system"? I can see that my old drive is listed as 'system '. How to make my other even without having to re - install all over again? Thank you!

  Hi Fishlipps,

  Thanks for posting. Most likely you see it as your boot.ini is located on a drive corresponding to your system on a different drive. The easy way to do this would be to reinstall or do a repair on the computer installation. Please make a backup before attempting this.

  1.	When the message Press any key to boot from the CD appears on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
  2.	When you see the message to install Windows XP nowand then press ENTER is displayed on the Welcome to the Setup screen, press ENTER.
  3.	Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
  4.	In the Windows XP licensing agreement, press F8 to accept the license agreement.
  5.	Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
  6.	Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

  Another option would be to modify the boot.ini located directly on the root of your drive. Below is a knockout with instructions on how to do it. However please backup all your data by doing one of them because both can make your computer unbootable.

• I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

• How can I copy vista on a new hard drive

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the disc. Until I do so I want to install a new hard drive of 1 TB. How to copy Vista from the old drive to the new drive?

  You will need to reinstall Vista on the new drive (new installation) and then turn it on and then level to Windows7 and activate that.  First back up your data - it's about all you'll be able to save.  You will need to reinstall all your programs and reset all settings - they can be copied on to the new drive.  It works just like that.  An option that allows you to transfer data a little more than a simple (but not yet the programs) is to use EasyTransfer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635. The review process and see if you can make it work in your situation.

  Sorry, that is not a solution more simple that preserves everything on the original drive, but even if you did an image backup of complete and restored to the new drive, the device driver for the hard disk would be a mistake, and it is not possible to change it with the limited access, you will need to the system without being able to boot from the hard drive.  If you can find a way to install the hard disk driver after restoring using only disk access (which may be possible depending on what has been provided by the manufacturer of the hard disk - it would need to be a startup disk that can install device drivers, even if the hard drive is not available) This becomes a viable option - but I do not know how or if any manufacturer offers such a disc.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Using Recovery Manager on a Netbook with a new hard drive

  I have the HP Mini 110-3015DX netbook under Windows 7 Home Premium.  It has been upgraded to Windows 7 Starter Edition.  It comes preinstalled with a 160 GB hard drive.

  Not too long ago, I cloned the original to a new hard drive to 500 GB hard drive and switched them.  The netbook boots fine, and all of my programs seem to work as well as before... except one: Recovery Manager.  Now, I can not format my hard drive and reinstall the operating system and drivers.

  When I chose a recovery using Recovery Manager plan, the computer restarts as normal, but instead of see more menu options, I get a message on the new hardware detected, as well as a request to contact a network administrator or something like that.  However, I am unable to continue with the format and have to restart in Windows.

  Question: is it possible to use Recovery Manager on a netbook when you change hard drives?  If so, how?

  The Recovery Manager appears when I press the F11 key at startup to the top.

  Indeed, since the display of my original message, I tried a USB flash drive recovery option.  Everything seemed to go very well, that the recovery process has been done, when suddenly a message popped up saying the installation was incomplete, is nearly 90%.  I was asked to choose two options, which none have been identified.  So I turned off the netbook, waited a bit and turned it back.  I was then able to complete the initial installation of Windows 7, where they ask you in the name of the computer, choose your region and type your network password... etc...

  Once more, I thought that everything would be alright.  I then clicked on the icon of the computer and noticed that the size of my hard drive had been reduced from 500 GB to about 60 GB or more!  I tried to use a program 3rd party to recover the huge no allocated space, but it did not work.

  I've been working on this problem for hours, doing research, try the different options, but nothing works.  I give up.  However, I appreciate your response.  Thank you.

• Any way to load Vista on a new hard drive on a Toshiba Satellite with a broken cd player? Help!

  I dropped a laptop Toshiba Satellite A215 SS818 three year, upstairs. The hard drive and CD drive are damaged. I replaced the hard drive, and with the advice of a store of large surface, I bought an external pioneer CD/DVD reader/burner-usb 2. I think I need to download DirectX9 and install the latest drivers from device WHQL also, according to the requirements on the box.

  Duh - I realized, I can't use it to install the OS if the player needs software first downloaded to the laptop (didn't think it out while in a hurry in the middle of the store).

  Is it possible to get this OS installed via other external means?

  Thanks for any help.

• can I use the same product key once I formatted my hard drive using a vista upgrade disc?

  can I reuse the same product code already used on one computer on another that I put that hard drive and is no longer using vista on this computer, but want to update another?

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.
