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.

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

How to install a new hard drive and create recovery disks before installing the new drive?
HP Pavilion Dv5 - 2077 cl/entertainment laptop
Product #: WQ799UA #ABA
Windows 7 64 bitHello-
So for a while now, I get a blue screen randomly, popping up all the time and some time, who is going to "clear my physical memory" or something and then restart after like 30 seconds. I posted in the forums, once it all started and support told me to run tests and finally told me that my hard drive has been the reason for these constant errors. Then I backed up everything, in anticipation of a real accident.
I'm about to order a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is difficult to replace a hard drive in a laptop, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. In addition, I don't think I have the disk for the operating system that came with my computer, how do I order that HP and how much is it?
And, last but not least, is there a message or a video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and operating system?
Here is the hard drive Im currently looking, if could let me also know if this would be my laptop and if it's a good idea that would be great:
Thank you very much.
Hello
Yes, that's exactly what you do
Kind regards

Satellite Pro 2100 and new hard drive
Hello
I saw on another post that L0nestar has installed a Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250 GB, 5400 RPM) in a Pro 2100.
The question I have is what the interface is SATA or EIDE? The original drive indicates it is a SATA interface, but the WD2500BEVE is an EIDE interface?Hope someone can clear this up for me.
See you soon.
AFAIK all older models of laptops have hard drives with interface EIDE. Satellite Pro 2100 comes with disk HARD Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
Good bye

Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!
Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive. The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me. Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me. This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?
What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any." I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore. Nothing seems to work. What can I do? Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.
Hello:
Yes... It works fine for me.
Here's the source Web page. Select the download link of W7 Home Premium x 64 from there...

If anyone has any ideas please let me know...
Thank you
Hey,.
Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.
If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

installed my windows 7 Home Premium on a new hard drive, but it says my key is invalid. I bought this copy of the microsoft store and have retained the email with the key.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

If so, you must install and activate a qualifying operating system before you perform the upgrade.

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.
In addition to this, see:
Product key lost or misplaced (certificate of authenticity) for Windows
If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.
Hope this information was useful.

Satellite L955-100 - HARD drive crash / no recovery disk
Hi all
I think I have a huge problem, so I would like your advice.
Yesterday, my HARD drive crashed and a noise 'click of death '.My warranty has already expired, and of course I did not the recovery discs...
I know that it was stupid to forget something, but even if I would like to ask you if you have another solution to my problem.
Already, I thought about buying a new HARD drive, but then my problem is still not having access to my Windows 8 (which was on the recovery partition).
Thanks in advance,
Michel
In my opinion, you should simply replace the HARD drive and need to use the recovery disk that you could order at Arvato Services
The disc isn't expensive; round about 30Maybe you want to increase the performance of the computer laptop buying an SSD?
The SSD is a bit more expensive that a common SATA HDD, but believe me: it will significantly increase the performance of the laptop -
Install Vista on a new hard drive without a Setup disk
I have a compaq cq71. The HARD drive is faulty (as told by checking the hard drive) and must be replaced. I'm going to buy a new HARD drive but don't know how I can install Vista on it. I have no Vista disk, only the recovery on the old damaged hard disk partition. Can I access the recovery partition is if possible I can create a floppy disk to install from here? Alternatively, if I could borrow a disk from someone else? I still have the product key of Vista on the bottom of my machine.
Any help much appreciated.

Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7
Hello
My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.
If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?
So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?
Help please?
You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.
