• How to install Win7 on a new hard drive

  My HARD drive is a failure by the SMART test.  I have already backed up everything and I bought an SSD to replace the HARD drive, if I use the DVD of reinstallation of Win7 which accompanies my Zino to install Win7 on my SSD?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Hi Tim,.

  You can use the reinstallation disk that came the system to install Windows on the replacement hard drive. If you have created a recovery media you can use that as well to install Windows on the system.

  You can check the link http://dell.to/13nXHsM for the instructions on installing Windows 7. Once Windows is installed, please check the link http://dell.to/11fzwZM for the correct order of installation of the driver.

• Satellite C660 - how to install Windows on the new drive?

  I have an old C660 of 14 months (2 months warranty!) and the HARD drive died quite suddenly.

  * 3 days works great
  * 2 days, got stuck at the "starting Windows".
  * Tried to fix with a System Repair (DVD) boot disk, but could not solve the problem (ran all night)
  * Start of DVD today and now the prompt of commands, each command "dir" on c: takes 20 seconds and try to copy files gives IO error.

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and install, but is there a way to get Windows 7 on the drive?
  There is no Windows disk supplied with the notebook... THERE is a recovery partition, but it died too.

  I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows when I already have a license.

  (I never have a backup complete incl. system, like the one and the only time that I tried to do that it was unable to complete the process, killing of many Virgin DVD-R in the process).
  I have most of my personal files backed up.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite clear. You don t have created the recovery disk and you have only two options now:
  (1) you can order the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install the original recovery image
  (2) you can get the original installation disc from Microsoft and install own OS

  In the first case, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0202TA0000R01.htm

  If you take the decision to use option 2 Please note that your product key is useless and you have to pay for the new activation of license and the code. The sticker product key Microsoft belongs to the recovery image only.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Pavilion p6230y: how to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I had a hard drive failure. The drive is about 7 years so I understand he lived a life busy for a long time, and I plan replace it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the recovery discs and I don't have a windows CD, because it is installed on the disk hard when I bought the computer. If I had to buy a new HARD drive, how would I reinstall Windows on it without re-purchase a copy? I was told there would be a product key on the chasis somewhere but I couldn't find the model and serial number for the bureau, nothing to do with Windows. I also searched HP website to see if I could order recovery disks, but this option is not visible anywhere. Help, please!

  Thank you, Alex.

  Alex, welcome to the forum.

  Unfortunately, because you did not the system recovery media when you bought the computer, you will need to buy a full copy of Windows 7.

  Here's a guide to help you try to order the HP discs.  However, I believe that it is very unlikely that they are always available from your computer is more than 7 years old.

• install windows on a new hard drive

  Hi, my laptop has been commissioning so I bought a new hard drive and installed myself. The problem is that I don't have the recovery disks that came with it when we bought it. How can I install windows 7 or vista on the new hard drive.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  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

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  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.

• Portege R600 - how to install XP on a new HARD drive?

  I did the mechanical installation of a new hard drive and it's correct.

  Now, I want to install XP - Vista not. However, nothing I've tried will allow the BIOS to recognize the new drive. 'Alternative media' drive of Toshiba XP should include the SATA drivers, but it does not work.

  What did I miss?

  Hello

  Do you mean the new HARD drive is NOT visible in the BIOS or the new HARD drive is not recognized by Windows XP Setup?
  Those are two different questions

  If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS, then you used the disk HARD is not compatible.
  But if the HARD drive is not recognized by installing XP then you have not installed the SATA drivers that are packed in the Intel Storage Manager.

• How to install W7 on a new hard drive with an upgrade disc

  This issue was published and responded differently and I'm looking to help determine that I'm not just doing.

  I have a desktop dell Inspiron 540 initially installed with vista and upgraded to w7 with upgrade disk.  PC currently has a raid 0 on two drives configuration.  I want to do a clean install of w7 on a new 2 gig disk and remove my raid disk, so I unplugged my raid drives and plugged the new drive with the boot sequence set on DVD as priority to start.  When I put the drive of W7 the PC starts and begins installation of W7 and passes by a couple of reboots before it comes to rest on and the screen eventually white.  My questions are the following:

  (1) is the w7 stall out because it's only a upgrade disk.  I've read that even an upgrade disc must fill a system knowing that I finally needed to authenticate the license but this not yet get there.

  (2) or is the problem that none of the original pilot was loaded onto the new drive before trying to install w7?  I don't know if I have the disks just as the PC was rebuilt with new hardware warranty, so I don't know the Dell disks I have are no longer valid and if I install w7 without them.

  (3) if I do not have the right Dell driver disks is there a way to only install drivers without having to install as I prefer to do a clean vista w7 install.

  (4) when my pc normally starts in a raid 0 configuration and passes to the bios Setup screen, there will be an another intel matrix storage screen which is where I need to enter CTRL + I to enter the raid configuration...  After that I disconnected my original discs and installed a new this screen intel never presented itself - is that because I have not installed the drivers from dell?

  (5) others have suggested that I should keep the original discs in place for now, install my new hard drive, install W7 on the new drive and then delete older readers.  However, if I do and if Miss me the physical disks, if I remove the old drives, which allows W7 still starts it correctly once I deleted the old hard.

  THX,

  The disc itself is a full install of W7, it is key that defines as an upgrade and the normal solution to a blank disc is not enter key questioned at first, but to call the Activation Center later. That's because Windows 7 is a completely new system and use nothing of Vista/XP even if the upgrade should be complete.

  If the system restarts once again successfully during the installation, then it booted from the HARD disk as the installation tasks are all made from there. As JW suggests to test the HARD drive, most manufacturers offer on their website diagnostic utilities that are in the CD or bootable USB format then not dependent on the installed o/s. In addition, a contender is memeory questions, either swap autour, replace or reduce the system to a stick to eliminate the problems.

  Make sure RAID mode has been disabled in the BIOS for Windows 7 AHCI or SATA mode should work well when a single drive is equipped with RAID should disable auto. The keys Ctrl + I is a precursor of the o/s drivers so a function RAID BIOS Setup screen is not apply to it is not there. He disappeared because there is a single disc and you can't build a matrix on a single disc.

  All compatible motherboards in PC today have all the installation of Windows 7 no driver needed. They are normally added after the initial installation. If it's still a Dell Mobo, then the same driver drive should work as it will identify all required driver.

• How to reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

• Install Windows on a new hard drive while maintaining the files on the old?

  I have Windows 7 64-bit on my stock 500 GB hard drive. I have a 64 GB mSATA which I would like to do a clean install of Win7 on. Regarding the 500 gig HD, I would like to wipe and partition (it is loaded with bloatware and probably malware) but if possible, I like to keep a few photos and mp3s. I have to wipe everything, or can I just install Win7 and start-up of the SSD, then delete what I want on the other hard drive?

  I suggest at the very least, you back up your personal folder in C:\Users\Your_AccountName on a hard drive external.

  Proceed to install Windows 7 on SSD, reactivate so you keep the 500 GB attached as a slave drive and format it. You could even redirect your personal folders to it after formatting it.
