• I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7

  I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7. I want to reinstall it on the new hard drive running on linux but on install windows 7 on a virtual hard drive, how can I transfer the activation code

  In other words, you can't.

  Assuming that your edition of Windows 7 is the one that supports the transfer of a virtual machine (i.e. the upscale home and more)...

  You will need to do a clean install of the virtual machine, using the retail media and the key of the COA sticker.

  You may need to activate by phone.

  Note that Samsung have historically refused to provide any form of media except through a factory install. This means that it is almost impossible to install the original media for anything except the original disk, using the recovery partition.

  Hello

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

• Second hard drive for HP pavilion laptop solutionn

  Hello:

  I got a Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop in ealy December 2010 a few weeks ago...

  I also want to add a 2nd drive hard because I can't use the first hard drive

  for LINUX.

  All 4 primary partitions on the first hard disk is already used by HP to the following partition names:

  (C) windows, HP_TOOLS, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.

  I don't understand why HP has to exhaust all primary partitions.

  Most manufacturer only use towing.

  they could have put their tools and recovery files in a partition or combine withSYSTEM partition

  It seems that they do not want to support the Linux community...

  If anyone knows what primary partitions can I remove safely from the first hard drive, that would be great.

  In any case, the reason why I'm posting this is to ask if you successfully add a 2nd interal hard drive to the computer laptop dv7.

  I looked att he manul and it show where I can stable the 2nd hard drive.

  IMPORTANT observation:

  However, I notice the connector on the motherboard for the 2nd drive hard is not the same as the

  first hard drive. I also noticed there is no need of rails to support the 2nd drive hard because it it ca be mounted with a hard drive are the first screw.

  I hope that is not a connector owner.

  I would like to know what your HP solution?

  I spent about 4 + hours with HP tech and sales and still did not get a response...

  Service very poor customer... very bad for business.

  Maybe we need to know about... the Linux community bad customer service

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  Hello

  The error seems to indicate that the HARD disk is defective and must be replaced.

  Your computer is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 59 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set by starting on the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, seeif you can order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.
