• Unable to activate windows xp on the old computer after reinstalling

  I am the resurrection a storage computer that was purchased in 2007 with Windows XP Home Edition.  I formatted the hard drive, because he had some problems before and reinstalled windows.  He now wants me to turn on, but when I use the phone service or try to enter the product key in the activation of the sticker on my computer window it says it is invalid.  Is it because he has been activated before or because it's really old? Is it possible to go beyond that?  Everything works fine on my computer, but when I try to use windows update, it won't let me.  He says I have 30 days in my grace period, though. Thank you in advance for your help!

• Can't see the data partition after restoring the system

  Hello.

  I had installed Windows 7 on my computer and I had two operating systems of windows operating system. And I wanted to boom volume but I couldn't and I downloaded a program and crashed my both operating systems. And after that I used the hp recovery cd use cmd, System Restore. And after that, I got all the workers. But now I can't see my data partition. I can see the computer Manager, but I can't access it.  Please help Microsoft. :(

  Is the partition on the same drive as Vista?  If so I would try to extend the Vista partition to include the space in this partition "missing."  Maybe this process will add space on your system drive, and at least you will have access to it (even if it is not a separate partition that you wish).  I don't know if this will work if the system is not seen as a partition, but I guess it's worth a try.

  After that, my only suggestion is to backup your data and do a clean boot from the drive and format the drive and reset the partitions in the installation process.  This should solve this problem.  I wish I had a less drastic recommendation, but honestly, I know of no other way to solve this problem (if it does not solve the problem).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

Please please help

  It is not possible for me to every time the format of the system

  kindly, please give solution.

  My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

  From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

  Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Back up the registry
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. click continue.

  c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

  e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

  Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

  f. close the registry editor.

  g. restart the computer.

  Method 2:

  Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
  System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

• Back to the recovery partition after installing Windows 10

  Trying without much success to help a friend with a Lenovo ideacentre B310.

  He had apparently been does not work properly under its native operating system Windows 7 and the owner has tried the free update of Windows 10. The cmnputer has not since then start beyond the blue logo of the Windows 10 flag.

  I tried a reset by using the F11 key which got through the whole process of restoration and reinstallation of probably Windows 10 but then frozen 100%.

  I have since installed successfully from a WIN Pro 10 CD, but it's understandable without a free license has been applied as it was a clean install.

  What I want to know, it's the recovery on the still Partition PC contains the original OS? If this how I start and recover to factory condition of the PC having in mind that the PC is currently the trial version of WIN 10 with a limited number of days of use before a product key must be purchased.

  Data loss is not a problem, I just need to go back to factory State and then move on from that.

  Problem all sorted. I didn't realize that you could install the applicable version of REMPORTER 10 of the tool of creation of media these days and use the product key from the COA of WIN 7.

  I'm assuming that I come back to a working version of WIN 7 before I could then upgrade to a licensed version of WIN 10.

  Thanks for all the help.

• Is there a way to see the old chkdsk log on windows 7 Home premium?

  You know, when you run the command CHKDSK's BACK to Windows 7 Home Premium at the end it is a summary of the results.  But the summary is only visible for a few monents (not long enough to actually read) and then the system moves to open a Windows session.  Is it possible to display these results once you are in the WIndows environment?  Some kind of log file that can be referred to?  I'm talking specifically of the complete CHKDSK with both the boxes checked

  "Automatically Fix file System Errors ' and ' will search for and attempt to recover bad sectors...

  Thank you.

• I get the message "Windows is not genuine" after reinstalling windows

  4 years ago, I bought my laptop (HP ProBook s 4310) with Windows 7 pre-installed, without any disk. A month ago, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows. First of all, I found my key windows (using "magical jelly bean"), then downloaded an iso of Windows 7 from Digital River, installed and used my previous key.

  Now, I get this non-genuine message. Since I initially bought windows and that the seller does not gives me any drive, I think not that I did something wrong. Someone knows a solution to this problem?

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• After removing the Dual Boot, I can't delete the old partition

  Some time ago I installed an SSD and I have Windows 7 installed in Dual Boot with the Windows 7 system.
  So, I had two versions of Windows 7, which worked well.

  Now I no longer use the old system, I disabled the function of Dual Boot. I want to format the old drive, but it does not work because Windows still sees it as active system partition. In addition, I can't delete the partition.

  How can I format or delete the old partition?

  

  I already tried Msconfig, Bud that did not help. Default Msconfig begins with 'selective startup' and an operating system that is displayed in the Startup tab. When I select 'Normal Startup' there are two operating systems that are listed in the Startup tab. When I delete the old and reboot, it is back again...

  Who has the solution?

  (1) create a system repair disc (if you do not have an installation disk for Windows 7 for the version of Windows you have installed).
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc

  (2) then remove the hard disk you want to format. Now try to start the remaining version of Windows. You should see a missing bootmgr message. Proceed to step #3.

  (3) Bootmgr is missing, message or black screen with cursor flashing
  (See method #2 in this Wiki article)
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/wiki/Windows_7-system/Bootmgr-is-missing-message-or-black-screen-with/73fef5b7-5a7f-4910-a2b0-7219e9ec1646

  (4) after you have created the BCD store on the remaining drive (to step #3 above), it should start up on Windows and also be the partition 'Active'.

  (5) shut down the PC and set the old drive, turn on a load Windows and then delete all the remaining partitions on the old disk.

• No network adapter driver is available after reinstalling Windows Vista installation disk... Unable to connect to the network

  No network adapter driver is available after reinstalling Windows Vista installation disk... Unable to connect to the network

  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.
