• System Restore to factory settings after replacing the hard drive?

  I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre A52, which recently required a change of hard disk and the removal of a defective RAM 1 GB stick. When I bought my computer, it came with Windows XP Pro and the new hard drive that the updated computer has Windows XP Pro, but it seems to be missing a large part of the software (drivers and programs) that originally came with the computer, and even if I downloaded and installed most of them since the Lenovo Web site There are still some problems related to software that I can't fix. Ideally, I'd like to go back just to restore the system to the factory settings using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program, but I don't know if it will work. All programs and the necessary drivers will be installed again, even if my current hard drive is not 'knows' thereon? I need to get a Windows XP Pro installation CD, if I want to keep my operating system? Also, is it important that my current hard drive is half the previous, or that I now have half as much RAM?

  Thank you

  After replacing the hard drive, the only way to restore it to the State of the plant is using the Lenovo installation diskettes. You can also ask if Lenovo has a solution to your problem without having to reinstall Windows.

  You can download Lenovo drivers if they are not included on the installation disk. The size of your hard drive does not matter.

• 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.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

  Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

  Hello!

  I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

  WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
  * key series *.
  * numbers of many * X 1881991

  Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

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

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• just formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded

  I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

  Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

  Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

  http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2009/08/19/for-the-former-Windows-XP-user-welcome-to-Windows-7/

  If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

• Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

  I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

  Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

  Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

  Hey,.

  > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
  I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

  Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

  You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

• Cannot open my files money 2005 after replacing the hard drive

  Hi, I had to replace the hard drive in my computer and now I am unable to open my money (Version 2005) files. I get an error message indicating "Money cannot locate C:\~~~ or cannot open it, possibly because it is a read-only file or you are not allowed to change it or your hard drive, it is write protected etc.» I tried uninstalling and re-installing the money, but it has not solved the problem. The problem may be to do with the regional settings during installation of money, but when I re - install the money it is not giving me the option to set the perameters during the installation process for a reason any. My OS is XP Home edition Service Pack 3. How can I solve this problem?

  So your real problem is not that the files are missing or read-only, but that the money does not recognize the format the files are in.

  Even if you reinstalled Money, maybe you don't have also downloaded and installed some updates have been released for your version.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320193:

  If you are using Microsoft Money 2005, and you receive this error message after you have reinstalled Money, the behavior may be caused by not having money is not all installed updates.

  See methods 4 and 5 in the article.

  If this does not help, Veritas Aquitas had the right answer: ask in the forum of the money:

• Error: 150:30 after replacing the hard drive

  After replacing my hard drive of Apple iMac (Apple remember), I get an error code 150:30 when trying to open Photoshop CSCS4. Spin OSX 10.11.1

  All solutions?

  John

  150:30 errors mean that the licensing mechanism is broken, usually because the software moved instead of being re-installed.

  Uninstall, reinstall from the disc or download then enter your serial number.

• Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

  Hello

  Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac.  Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked.  Now I'm unable to open the file.  I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content".  I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch.  I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

  drwxr-x - 13 501 501 442 5 July 2013 MG

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Running OS X El Capitan

  10.11.4 version

  Try this first:

  Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

  When this does not help:

  Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:

  1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
  2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
  3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
  4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
  5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
  6. On your keyboard, press ⌘ + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.

• Failed to retrieve after replacing the hard drive on my DV6

  I replaced the hard drive on my DV6.  Insert the recovery discs, I had done and went through the process.  At the end it rebooted and was told that he failed.  Says to put 1 recovery disc in and try again, but just a loop even message.

  Hello

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.
