• swap hard drive now says Windows 7 not genuine

  So, the hard drive Dell to my son died, and to avoid buying a new drive, I traded on an Acer that we had in the attic. All this is good, responsible drivers and it works really well spent. Well until he began to blink's is not a thing of product Windows genuine. I tried to cross and turn on and authenticate with the Microsoft tool, but it says that it cannot validate. Can I do here? I have the stickers of the Microsoft authentication for them, if this is useful.

  Is the edition of Windows 7 installed the same as the edition which has already been installed on the hard drive dead? If it isn't, then it won't be not active.

• Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

  I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

  With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

  Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

  There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

  If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

  Thank you

  > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
  In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
  Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

  Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
  Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

  You do not have a format to get rid of your data.

  You do a format when you want to do a clean install of the operating system.

  As you all saved, I suggest that you continue on the new facility, then copy your data back.

• Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives

  My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers.  I confirmed the authentication with Dell.  A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses.  They both have been authenticated by SM.  After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives.  How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

  What you did is not possible. Windows and Office OEM versions live and die on the computer on which they are first installed. OEM licenses are not transferable.

• Problem of storage space satellite L305-S5962 HARD drive when installing XP

  Hello

  Last week, I ordered two TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 for my children and finally happened yesterday.
  I was so glad that I found all drivers XP needed for it on Toshiba USA website, however something weird happened when I went to install XP over there.

  It came with preloaded Vista and while under Vista, I checked the HARD drive space it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read C 131 GB only partition.
  So, if you round up to about 130 GB, where the other 90 GB's?

  This problem has happened to these two Toshibas, and read the two HDD substantially the same.
  In Vista, it reads close to 250 GB, but when installing XP blue screen (once I turn off the AHCI setting in BIOS) it reads at 131 GB. Is this some kind of driver issue? or to issue OS with AHCI?

  On the Toshiba site there are two HARD drive drivers, are a .exe and the other a .zip file.
  I tried both in the XP installation CD of nLite, but it does not help.
  It still reads GB 131, so now I have no idea what to do, or maybe I have something wrong during the splicing of nLite?

  In any case, if anyone has some insight on this problem, please let me know.

  Thank you!

  -G.P.

  P.S. Here is the link to site from USA, for XP SP2/SP3 drivers, HARD disk drivers.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=2350214& rpn = PSLB8U & modelFilter = TOSHIBA + Satellite + L305-S5962 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663

  Even once, if someone has seen, thank YOU!

  > I checked disk space HARD it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read the partition C 131 GB only.

  The HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions.
  The first partition contains OS preinstalled; Vista
  The second partition contains the image of Toshiba HDD and the last third partition is hidden. It s a small partition created by Vista and it contains the backup files. These files can be used if something goes wrong with Vista OS or if Vista needs to be repaired.

  So I guess you've seen only the first partition that contains the operating system Vista

• Satellite Pro M40: HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive for my satellite pro m40 like my old man, we broke up I put the hard drive in the machine properly and it's the same speed, size etc, but the laptop does not recognize it at all.

  I tried to swap back to the old hard drive and he acknowledges, the news is a number of slightly different model a new the original is mk6022gax and original is mk6026gax. the two 60 GB, I am told. Please help me if you can.

  Thank you.

  Hi Ollie,

  The only reason I can think is that the new hard drive is may not be configured correctly for your laptop. I know that some Toshiba drives are supplied as C - salt rather than the more usual master configuration, but these are normally reported as such on the nameplate.

  It is possible to change the setting of the drive (see the following URL for details) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p69067/jumpers.htm

  It is also possible that the new disk is defective (unlikely but it should be considered).

  Kind regards

• Satellite l350-262 HARD drive failed on the first reboot

  Hi guys,.

  I just bought new satellite L350-262 of amazon.co.uk
  It was delivered today so I started to put in place. It started fine, let me regional selection and networking options, and then it restarted and...
  I saw console message saying "a disk read error occurred...". "that indicates a failure of the HARD drive.

  I restarted and went into the BIOS settings and it appears on the first page of the BIOS that he does not see the drive (can recognize the DVD), but on the priority start screen TOSHIBA (and some) against the HARD drive.

  This problem occurred after the first reboot Windows 7 installation is forcing you to do, I didn't have the chance to create backups, and I can't see windows being installed at all, cause I can't do F8-> recovery which I thought to try as well.

  I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?

  Is it worth to make diagnosis of disk? Even if it says disk is ok, how I reinstall/install the system preloaded with no disk backup etc.?

  Thank you
  Greg

  > I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?
  I'm afraid, if the disk HARD is not recognized in the BIOS, that means HARD drive failure and you will not be able to recover it with the help and recovery disk or using recovery disc HARD m.
  It s really strange that a HARD drive is dead at first, but what looks like a bad luck, this can happen, because it s a machine

  Usually the HARD drive is under warranty as the entire notebook then you can request a hotfix and warranty would cover everything

• swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top

  I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105.  I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115.  I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them.  It does not work.  Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again.  In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP).  It did not start, either.

  Here is a summary of my situation:

  • An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP
  
  
  • A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running
  
  
  • A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105
  
  
  • A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115

  What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?

  A technician with 'the knack' discovered a device driver conflict.  We have removed this driver and Windows was able to use a generic driver to start correctly.  Bob's my uncle.

• Satellite L450D - what HARD drive I can use?

  Will try a hard drive to a desktop pc in the present, going to work or laptops have different hard drives?

  Hey Buddy,

  Desktop computers and laptops have different drives. Desktop hard drives are bigger (3.5) and laptops using only 2.5. On Wikipedia, there is a nice article on hard drives:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

  Satellite L450D already supports SATA drives if you need a new 2.5 HDD with SATA interface.

• Re: Satellite L650D SMART HARD drive failure, backup fails when only half

  Hello

  I have a laptop L650D. I get the following error message
  "Disk0.
  Your HARD drive has failed to predict INTELLIGENT works what monitors HARD drive operating status. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and SMARRT monitoring software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a backup for the data on your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new drive for replacement if necessary. »
  It then gives me the option to make a back-up.
  I tried two times to make this backup and twice it almost 50% of fact and then it says there no :(
  It only gives me the option to backup DVD drive, the ability to use another drive is grayed out and cannot be selected (I have a 1 TB drive external DRIVE connected via USB)

  I always use the laptop, there not having yet. I copied all the pictures, documents and emails from my external HARD drive it will not be too devastating if it falls.

  Any suggestions?

  I am trying to locate my receipt, because I think that's only a little more than 12 months since I bought it. Not sure if I can argue to get the HARD drive replaced under warranty, as it should last longer than what he has.

  Thanks in advance

  If I understand you well you want to backup using Windows Backup and Restore option system, right? I put t really know if there is any sense to do this if the HARD drive is probably faulty.
  What you need is the backup of your personal data.

  My suggestion: buy external HARD drive, connect it to your laptop and copy all the important things on that external data. When you have a new HARD drive in your laptop, you need to install the new OS so I put t think you need this Windows backup.
