Should what product key I use when installing an operating system.

Original title: tyrone needs help.

my product key sticker is on the work of microsoft more cd cover, its the only one I can find on my disk or computer. Is this the one I have to reinstall everything? I don't know what works most is 2008. Can someone tell me?

Hello

The product key to reinstall the operating system is on a sticker on the case of your computer and contains 25 digits divided into 5 groups of 5 digits.

With a PC, it is on the side, at the top of the page or the box.

With a laptop, it is on the bottom or in the battery compartment.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

If you can our find it, read this.

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

They should do this for a small fee.

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

See you soon.

    Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

    Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

    Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

Should what media player I use?

    HELP PLEASE!

    .mov is not a format very widely compatible. Anyone who designs will require a third-party video player, such as Apple's QuickTime. A better solution is to save all in another format, such as .mp4. (Keep in mind that I know almost nothing about iPhones). Maybe you could use a Media Converter. (be careful with these)
  • Change the product key to use COA OEM during the product upgrade

    I found the kkid106 question "can I use a product key Windows 7 OEM to a retail facility.

    But as it is not my particular case, I want to be sure and make the issue.

    The question is on a clean install of Windows 7 Home Retail using Windows 7 OEM Home.  My case is not a clean install.

    I have the following two scenarios:

    Scenario 1. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I get a retail upgrade of Windows 8.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM with retail upgrade to Windows 8.  Technically I find myself with a computer without a license since the upgrade come from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

    This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

    Scenario 2. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I have an Upgrade download Windows 8 without product key.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM upgrade download to Windows 8.  I find myself with a computer without a license, because the upgrade is unlicensed and comes from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

    This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

    Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
    Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

    First run Memtest86 +:
    It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

    Hello

    I bought a computer hp laptop with this specification HP Pavilion g4-1310au Notebook PC about two weeks ago. It comes with a Freedos operating system. I tried to install an operating system from windows xp and also tried to install a windows 7, but every time I have to install the operating system, the installion was interrupted with a meassage to individuals a "blue screen" error error message saying that there are problems with my hard drive and I need to check on my hard drive. This scenario came when I tried to install windows xp on it. The next thing I did is that I tried to install windows 7 on the laptop computer. But still no luck, this time the error indicates that the installation cannot continue because there is a file missing or damaged file that prevents the installation.

    I also tried to set some settings in the BIOS of the laptop as the Boot Option to start start installation in the cd/dvd from the laptop drive.

    What seems to be the problem if I'm not able to install any operating system of your laptop? Is there a way or any special instructions for me to install the operating systems in this particular type and model of your laptop?

    Your help will be much appreciated if you could guide me to solve my problem with my laptop.
