The hard drive is gone... now what?

I have a laptop ASUS supplied with Windows 8 installed (80% sure it was 8, but would be too 8.1). Hard drive failed after 2 years... sunk, all is lost.

I managed to get the product key from the BIOS, but I don't have a partition recovery (as "I need a new hard drive), or a CD / DVD with Windows 8.

Where can I download a picture ISO of Windows 8? or what are the options should I?

Concerning

Dbuela

Windows 8 ISO is not available now but 8.1 is:

Windows 8 ISO - Microsoft

Then use your product key if you have the same motherboard to activate

    I'm talking about my legal copy of Indesign CS2 adobe, but told me that the serial number is already active. I know that I did at the time, but the computer is dead and the hard drive is GONE. Under license, I could put on my laptop and keep a copy on my PC at home as long as I don't have use both at the same time. None of these computers no longer exists. And why adobe cannot say that it was me who did the first activation?

    It won't matter because your copy of CS2 and serial number no longer works.  You need to acquire a special version because of the Adobe stop the activation for CS2 server and other products of this period.  The links below will explain more and also drive you to the download version, you must get and the serial number, you can use for this.

  • When I run Firefox using Yahoo as homepage the hard drive running constantly. What is going on?

    The hard drive is acting like I run a virus scan or software is responsible. It does not stop. I ran scans - nothing works. If I run Google or IE it happens.

    You remember disabling all willing associate JavaScript using the extension of QuickJS? If so, you can see the question if their re-allowing help with Yahoo.

    I notice you have some Yahoo related plugins. From 33 Firefox, less common plugins have been passed to "Ask to activate" so sites need your permission to use them. This can be confusing to Yahoo.

    To test this theory, you can try to move these plugins on one of the other options:

       Always Activate - all sites can use the plugin without specific permission
       Never Activate - no sites can use the plugin (unless you give them permission through the Permissions page of the Page Info dialog while viewing the site)
    

    To make this change to open the page modules using either:

       Ctrl+Shift+a
       "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    

    In the left column, click on Plugins. I suggest trying to "never activate" first. During the visit of Yahoo mail once again to test, you can use Ctrl + Shift + r to reload the fresh site from the server (without using cached files

  • HP Pavilion 23-g013w: recovery of operating system, replace hard drive and memory now what?

    My hard drive stop working on my HP Pavilion 23-g013w all in one computer. I replaced it with a new 1 TB hard drive. I also installed new memory Crucial upgrade to 16 GB.   All new "hardware" is installed on the computer. When he came she said "Please install operating system on your pc" I ran to the verification of memory and the hard disk check and they both passed.

    I had this all in one at Wal-Mart 2 years ago and it did not come with the recovery disk or they were lost.

    Is there a way to connect with ethernet and download the software, I need?

    Otherwise, what is my next best option... .or not?

    Thank you very much for the help.  I will continue to "hold" on the line...  Good day.

    But the weird thing ', it is also that it shows 0GB to programs/software that I obviously have a lot of programs/software installed. WHAAAT...

    It's really annoying

    It seems as if increases the amount of data in 'other' counts for

  • replaced the hard drive, Illustrator CS4 now does not start

    After that I replaced my Mac (paid by Apple, fortunately) Fusion defective hard disk and restored everything from a Time Machine backup, Illustrator CS4 gives me error 150:30 when I try to run, with instructions to contact Adobe support web site. All I get there are some frequently asked questions and their cat gives suggestions repeated to try the forum. I'm surprised research here do not find other people who have had the same problem. I would have disabled AI CS4 before hand, but the disk failure came quickly and by surprise.

    I've logged into my Adobe account and could see my products, but could not find anywhere to administer anything, like resetting of the authorized computers one can in iTunes.

    Does anyone have a suggestion? I would of course welcome.

    Thank you

    Contact support to reset the activations, run the cleanup tool, and reinstall it correctly. There is no magic involved and I'm sure that your own web searches have come up with the same instructions, even if you seem to refuse to recognize them as the correct procedures.

  • What is the speed of the hard drive of the 2015 2 and 3 to merge disks partition?

    I was looking through the Apple site and was wondering about the speed of the drive in the iMac in car merger. On their site it says that the 1 TB Fusion drive has 24 GB of Flash memory, and 2 models to and 3 to have 128 GB of Flash storage. But it does not say what the speed of the hard drive partition, which is what I want to know. It is 5400 RPM, or even 10000 rpm or 7200 RPM? I don't know, but I want to know. If anyone here knows the answer to this question, I would appreciate a response. Thank you.

    I have seen it reported that the Fusion drives are all 7 200 RPM.

  • Out of the blow of sleep when the HARD drive password used on Portege R700

    Hello
    I just got a DLI R700 with Win 7 Pro 64-bit
    I have a very annoying problem because it must be plus 1 minute to accept the password after the resumption of the mode standby. It would be faster out of the hibernation!
    So he wakes up from his sleep in a second, then you can enter the password without any problem but you just can't click on the arrow or press on enter up to what more than one minute. Similarly, it will accept even fingerprints directly at the exit (you get the green check mark) after wake but then expects just over one minute to move in the opening session on the desktop screen.

    Through a process of account, I worked on what was going on...
    Only, it crashes when you have the password on resume from sleep. CV password sleep turn out and he throws back in Office windows in seconds of wake
    This does not happen to resume from hibernation or reboot - scan of fingerprints or password is entered, then goes right into the office in a few seconds
    I started uninstalling software fingerpint, vap, power, toshiba - nothing always security management the same. Then I realized the password HARD drive - which was defined using the security of Toshiba and deleted using the same, has been still enabled in the bios. I have this off and everything works fine. I reinstalled the vap, power management and fingerprint software and everything is always very well, so it was defnitely the HARD drive password.
    Now it's really fake I want to have a RESUME from sleep password and HDD password protection - I have to choose between one or the other, unless I want to wait more than a minute each time he wakes from sleep which is a real pain! So it's clearly a bug in HARD drive password settings, probably in the bios? I have the latest BIOS installed.
    Any ideas on how to get this sort?

    Does anyone else have this problem with be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Or everyone doesn't have this problem, that is to say that they hear HARD drive password AND he wakes with password ok in a few seconds?
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    It's really hard to say something about what I can only say that I can t noticed this problem on my Windows installation.

    By the way: you are using the version Windows from Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

    Theoretically, it could be a problem to install Windows or disc itself are you able to test another installation of HARD drive or windows that you can make sure it is not a software problem?

  • Re: My laptop does not start, it cannot detect the hard drive

    I'm having the same problem but a bit different. I noticed that the support said to replace the hard drive and that's what I did with a disc Windows 8.1 and I took a step after test and see if my hard drive is not really usable. I put it in another computer that is also running Windows 8.1. It worked but my origianl computer still does not work, it says always "no drive detected". What the heck!

    think at this point, the best thing to do for you what we call. It is perhaps that the computer is a little less than a year and is still under warranty. Whatever the case, a technical support professional phone can certainly discuss your options with you.

    What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

  • Dv5-1190eh hangs at the HP logo when the HARD drive is inside

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my laptop. Today, I have reinstalled Windows and after the first reboot it freezes on the HP Logo and did not meet any key. I tried with other drives 2.5 "hard and did not work at all. Without HARD drive, I was able to boot from a Linux live cd without problem.

    Could it be linked to the motherboard, if so, is it repearable?

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I disassembled the unit, it is cleaned of dust (there was very little) and reassembled the laptop. The SATA controller somehow obtained and ready, and I was able to boot from the HARD drive.

    Now everything works fine.

    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.
