• XPS 8300 - steps to install boot hard drive replacement

  So my original Dell hard drive needs to be replaced because it has been send me errors and it is clearly a failure. If I get a new hard drive, I know how to get into the case and fasten the cables. Should I just turn on the computer with the system recovery disk I created previously? Do I need to 'Drivers and Utilties' disc comes with the computer? I've already invited Dell to the Windows 7 disc, but they never sent (4 years ago). I guess the system recovery disk should be sufficient. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated before I take the plunge.

  Hi Nively,

  Using this recovery disk, you will install the image of hard drive Dell of origin on the new hard drive. So, you will have all the drivers and original applications. Of course, you then need to uninstall all software that you don't want, like for example the MacAfee and install all the updates of Windows.

  Make sure the new drive has the same capacity or greater than your original drive.

• UEFI Install on hard drive replacement

  Hello

  I recently called Dell support on my Inspiron 15R SE do not start and they determined that my hard drive crashed. They have delivered a new HDD to me and forced me to install but I had problems installing windows 8 as it was factory installed using UEFI.

  The installer of Windows 8 would start, but immediately gave an error missing one driver media. Driver and utility records I have provided do not seem to help at all. I called Dell support once again, but the guy that I was talking just told me that UEFI was confusing and told me to go into the bios and change boot inherited, who worked and I am now running windows 8 start legacy mode.

  But is there a way I can reinstall in UEFI? From my brief research, it seems to be more effective... Is there a driver I'm missing would not be on the windows or the driver and utilities disks?

  Doesn't seem not like phone support staff know much about UEFI so I'm not sure where to get help with this.

  You need to load the SATA drivers during the installation of Windows. See here:

  Use these drivers here, they are the same just packaged differently:

  Problem solved.  In research in other forums and the trial and error I came up with this solution.  First, I downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage driver, as suggested earlier.

  Download and install the latest version of Intel:

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22194

  After the execution of the power of the program the computer off and then turn it back on.  Go to the start menu and right click on computer and properties.  Windows activation as it did not show a key, he just say unknown.  Power the system off and on again back.  Look at the properties, and under product key, you must have a number.  Windows Update worked.

  I then went to

  www.Microsoft.com/Genuine/Validate

  and follow-up procedures and it validated my windows and everything works.

• How to install Windows 7 on the new hard drive?

  I changed the old hard drive (500 GB) with a new hard dirve (1 Tera) and now I have two problems:-

  1. how to install Windows 7 on a new hard drive?

  2. my laptop came preinstalled Windows 7 Pro, but all the DVD kit (disk reclaimer Application & discs) + Revocer operating system, which has been provided (by Lenovo) for the laptop is in the Windows 8 Pro. So, how to install Windows 7 Pro, my laptop while all the DVD sets are in Windows 8 Pro?

  either way, this is my laptop spec (for reference); -

  

  * Note *.
  I intend to install Windows 7 Pro on my new hard drive using another DVD of Windows 7 (not DVD provided by Lenovo), but how do all Leveno program located in the disk 'Application & recuperator readers' (by example; - Lenovo system health and Diagnostics, Lenovo Power Control, Lenovo Fingerprint Reader) to install this hard drive? (as I told you before, all the DVD kit is at or only for Windows 8 Pro)

  I hope someone will help me answer my question,
  Thank you

  I found the solution.

  Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

  Response to question 2; Download all drivers and software (all the application that located on the DVD of the kit I have) on the official website of Lenovo.

  or another solution, send to a computer service shop and let the experts (workers) install it for me (the most simple and sure way).

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• Need to install windows 7 Professional on second hard drive

  Computer of my sister was in place and I began to suspect that the HDD went wrong.  I tried to do a reinstall on his computer and had no success.  I now took his hard drive of his computer and installed in mine as a second hard drive, like that I had a working computer and could be able to explore his.  I have been formatted for virgins out there and tries to use his professional disc of windows 7 to reinstall the operating system on the hard drive.  I have windows 7 home on my hard drive, when I insert the disc that I had heard that he was asking me what hard drive, I tried to install it to, and he has not tried to install it on my original hard drive and he said that I had to use a upgrade disk and not this one.

  How to install on his hard drive, so I can then take up and put back in his computer and see if it works.  And also after that I get installed on the 2nd drive hard is there a way to try to boot from hard drive before that I have to remove to ensure it works well?
  Thanks for any help

  It's not going to work, but the startup information will be stored on your startup disk (one running Windows 7 Home Premium). If you did a dual boot on your system, then reinsert the disc in your computer of the sisters, she does not start. Now that you have properly formatted the drive, put it back into his computer and try the installation again.
