• How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

  How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

  Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

  There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

  If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  Hey Buddy,

  You have created the Toshiba Recovery disk? Perfect!
  After Exchange of HARD drive, you need this you to install Windows 7 disc. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings, which means that you will have the factory settings on the new HARD drive after the use of the disc. You must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Before you reinstall Windows, you must back up all data on a disk for example external HARD.

• Activation of Windows Vista after replacing the hard drive

  I'm unable to activate windows after having my hard drive replaced. The portable station to my Windows Vista Home installed school, when my computer was originally Windows Vista Business. When I try to use Windows Activation, all options tells me that my product key is not valid for Windows Vista Home Edition. However, the steps to find a phone number to call for the activation require me to enter a product key, and then find the phone number from there. Because I can not clear the checkpoint, I can activate Windows or find a phone number to call. My computer has been purchased through my school, so I don't have a Windows Vista Business install disc, it automatically installs through the recovery disks. I could back up everything and then use the recovery disks, but I was wondering if there was another way to use the product key, I have, or to communicate with Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  the product key you have is for Vista Business, not the House

  without a product key for home which must be provided by your school or purchased by you (no longer sold) will not be activated

  as you bought the computer and operating through your school system, these are the people to talk about this

  and if they provided you with recovery disks when you bought originally, they are used to boot from to reinstall the original operating system

• How to reinstall the upgrade of Windows 7 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a few problems and decided after many hours of nowhere to replace my hard drive, I am running Win7 installed via an upgrade disk, because it doesn't seem to be a startup disk (I want to run repair to try to recover the missing files / corrupted etc.) what I need to install Vista first and then use the upgrade disk?

  There are likely to be problems with activation etc as in the past, that a new hard drive has been regarded as the same license is installed on a different machine?

  * original title - hard drive replacement, Q on installation of Windows

  Thanks for both answers, but as I could not reinstall Vista due to the lack of drive & key - I put my system together myself have so do not the sticker supplied with the systems, pre-built, I moved twice since the departure of Vista installation, the disk may or may not be somewhere in this House.

  My solution was to take the opportunity to upgrade my CPU and add that extra RAM so bought a win7 disc at the same time (which I'll keep somewhere safe). Yes, I've probably lost money by doing it this way, but it's my money to waste.

  The end result is that the PC works well which is what matters in the end for me.

  Thanks again for the responses.

• G570 - How to reinstall Windows 7 after replacing a hard drive that crashed?

  Hi all

  I have a Lenovo G 570 and was very happy with it. Unfortunately, I had a hard drive crash (totally my bad, I dropped the laptop on the floor).

  In any case I had to change my drive hard because I got this message: "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key any." I have always this message with the new hard drive which makes sense since I have to reinstall Windows 7, but the problem is that I don't have a sticker with the product key

  Does this mean that the Windows product key is in the Bios? How can I get? Contact Lenovo to get a new product key and pay for it?

  A big thank you to the person who will be able to help me with this, can not wait to start to use my Lenovo again.

  Mod edit: System model added to the front of the subject line to improve visibility / clarity.

  
  

• Notice - the upgrade to Windows 7 after replacing the hard drive

  I am replacing the failed hard drive in my Presario V6305NR & considering the upgrade to 2 GB of Ram.  Should I try to reload Vista or can I switch to a new total installation of Windows 7?

  If the upgrade to Windows 7 is feasible, how & what problems can be expected?

  1-Yes, the next step I would try is remove the card and start once without him.

   

  2 - Yes, there were numerous reports of failure wireless and/or the chip Nvidia dv graphics and v made two or three years before. Unfortunately, most of the people seems to result from the motherboard. There is even an American in effect now colony for many models (US). www.nvidiasettlement.com

  Hi Rob,

  You must install first Windows XP and upgrade to Windows Vista.

  If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, after you install Windows XP you can contact support for Microsoft's Activation to activate the copy of Windows XP.

  For more information, you can consult the following articles:

• Unable to activate Windows Vista after upgrading the hard drive.

  install on HD replacement

  HD crashed.  Bought the new HD 2 t.  installed Vista with system recovery disks.  Operating system will not work.  What should I do?

  Unfortnunately - since it is a process of recovery provided OEM - only help you can really get is OEM themselves.

  Windows XP can have trouble with the size of the player (depending on the installation media level of service pack that you use) or controller drivers.

  Are you sure it was your hard drive crashed and nothing else has been damaged?  Could be a bad controller, bad memory even a poor diet.

• Satellite L50D - Boot problems after replacing the hard drive

  I just upgraded my hard drive of the pathetic crod 5400 they provide to a SSHD@7200rpm, but now have a major issue.

  I initially image the operating system from the old hard drive to the new drive and have had chronic start-up problems (1-3-4 attempts to start to succeed if it fails at any time (often to the Toshiba start screen)).

  I reinstalled from a drive under Win 8.1 plain own ENT (trying to avoid the bloatware) and it is exactly the same number and is what I used to format the laptop very well with previously and had previously worked.

  I tried reformatting and reinstalling (by removing all partitions on each attempt) to the CSM, unsafe UEFI and UEFI secure. MCS is a straight line never works not proceed and both UEFI methods have the same exact result.

  I tried with original restore disks and it seems to work (not had time to fully test) but I don't want the bloatware and it shouldn't be serious since, if I were a customer who forgot to make restore disks (too often) and just have to have a failed hard drive or replaced sacrificed the laptop would be now a door stop.

  This seems as bad as Apple to lock people in.

  So I would appreciate ideas of people to please, I don't know if there is a program that is supposed to take place on a new drive as PS3 etc (I doubt it), but that leads me into the wall, and will be the last time that I consider Toshiba as anything other than a joke, if there is no solution.

  I had to replace the hard disks many times in my previous Toshiba laptops and were devoid of this crod, it has something to do with UEFI which seems more a nuisance than a help right now.

  TIA.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should first check if the startup problem is related to the new installed HARD drive or new installed system.
  You said that the laptop fails to start up often to the Toshiba start screen.

  The splash screen appears during the POST (power on self-test) procedure. During this test, the material will be checked.
  I m wondering if the hybrid SSD/HDD isn't recognised by the BIOS during this particular step.

  From my point of few, this could be the reason why the system cannot be started.

  Another important note:
  The 8.1 win requires enable start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode.
  Therefore, you must enable both options in the BIOS.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest BIOS version as latest firmware for the hybrid SSD/HDD

• Reinstall Windows 7 after formatting the HARD drive

  I had a laptop Lenovo with a preactivated Windows and I have a product key at the bottom of my laptop computer that reads the Windows 7 Pro OA in India. Recently, my HARD drive crashed and I had to replace it. I want to reinstall my Windows genuine 7 with available with me product key. How can I tell what version of Windows 7 was? for example, home premium, professional etc... and how can I do to download the copy of windows 7?

  Hello Bogdan,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community forums. Let me help you with your concern.

  Since you are using computer OEM (Lenovo). I suggest you to contact Lenovo support to clean install Windows 7. OEM keys work with the OEM CD.  It works with a generic "unbranded" CD OEM and not a retail CD.

  http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/SelectProduct

  OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which you can generally consider this term as meaning 'PC maker' or, specifically in this case, "System Integrator." And in light of this, you can assume that the Windows 7 OEM packaging is so inaccessible you as a person.

  Please see the categories below to get answers to frequently asked questions about licensing system builder OEM.

  See these links in support of Lenovo. The following instructions explain how to install Microsoft Windows 7 on a computer with a blank hard drive or a hard drive that is going to be wiped clean during the installation process. (All existing files will be deleted.)
