Hello

There is no download available on the Net and your hard drive as failed now, you are unable to make the recovery of the disks.

And you cannot use from recovery disks of a different brand or model (laptop) to reinstall Vista on your Tower / Desktop

Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  • My hard drive has left an old system to a new system and now I can not activate Windows.

    Cannot download the drivers to activate Windows

    I spent two days now trying to get a computer at work, I've built. I use new parts other than my used hard drive previously. I was not able to install the drivers for my network so I'm stuck right with the activation screen when I connect. If I do not activate and then I get kicked out and have to log in again. I cannot connect to the network to turn on obviouly and when I call them they say my ID intillation in does not correct and they don't recognize it as a valid product. I then remove my hard drive and put it back in the old machine and as if by magic, it works fine after activation. How am I supposed to install my drivers so I can activate if I can't go to my screen to install? This is the second time that this happens, and I really not prefer to buy a new windows disk for something that already works.

  • HP Recovery Kit will re - install Vista if hard drive has been replaced?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope that I understand.

    I bought a HP Pavilion s3050uk of second hand compact office, product number RY930AA.

    The only OS on it is a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate, little time to expire.  I knew when I bought but I was just able to reinstall Vista Home Premium using the HP Recovery Kit and the number of product key from the COA on the PC sticker.

    However, I think now that the HARD drive has been replaced at some point - my machine has a 200 GB (Seagate ST3200822AS ATA) and I think that these machines haven't shipped with a 250 GB?  Now, I'm worried that I will pass on the recovery kit but it won't reinstall Vista because the hardware has been changed.  If it is probably the case of others has experience then I may as well save my money (which is very tight at the moment, where the 2nd hand PC) and put it toward the purchase of an operating system package full.

    Hope someone is able to advise me.

    Thank you

    Stephen

  • Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

    Hello
    I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
    Problem still exist.
    The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
    because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
    Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

    I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
    The problem still exists.

    The other post:

    Another interesting fact:
    After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
    for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
    I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

    The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

    INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

    UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

    Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

    Select Services

    Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Stop Windows Update

    In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

    Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

    Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

    Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

    Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello

    Because you replaced the hard drive, your windows product code can not be validated. I suggest you to change the product key by using the product key. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  • My hard drive has been replaced. I want to restore a backup made on an external drive, using Windows backup software.

    I get to the step "to install the management of removable storage on Windows Server 2008

    1. Click Control Panel and then click on Administrative Tools.
    2. Open Server Manager, navigate to the features summary section and click add features.

    It is the section on the recovery of an old version of Windows.  My situation is all on Windows Vista.  Maybe I shouldn't use these intstructions.

    When I get to this step I can't find Server Manager.  I opened everthing under admin tools, and there is nothing that looks like this.

    If I go to this issue the wrong way, what should I do next?  The system has recognized my hard drive on Windows Explorer, but when I said retrieve the backup, it says that there is no backup file.

    Hi poudrc,

  • My hard drive has been replaced, now PE does not work!

    My laptop was having problems, which ended in my motherboard and hard drive being replaced. Before doing so, I basically copied my entire hard drive to an external drive. I copied everything then back on my laptop with its new hard drive, but now when I try to open PE it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. The problem is that it is not technically installed on the new hard drive! I have no way to uninstall it! What should I do to get it working again?

    More information:

    It's first Adobe Elements 9.

    I use Windows 7.

    I have no access to my old hard drive (just what I copied on the external drive to backup/storage).

    Given that I copied all of the hard disk, the program and everything with it's on my new, but I can't figure out how to uninstall or reinstall.

    (I have the same problem with Photoshop CS3 Extended, if anyone can help me with this too.)

    You will need to work around the problem that it won't let you not uninstall first. You may need to go through the instructions to remove manually, here - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/manually-remove-photoshop-elements-9.html.
