Using a new hard disk, Lenovo G570 key recovery disk

Hi all

I had to replace my hard drive on my G570, after replacing the hard drive, I used the recovery disks I cooked up on the system default settings.

Now, the recovery discs seem to have install windows and partitions on my new hard drive factory default, but since then he's stuck on the 'Starting WIndows' screen If I try botting it in safe mode, it starts and then says that he cannot complete the installation in safe mode.

Now, there is a problem with the recovery discs or the new hard drive. I'll be very grateful for any help in this regard.

Thank you

Haris

Hi Haris,

The product to the rear of the machine key is locked on the version of Windows you have on the machine. If you are installing a different version of the OS (i.e. your unit and WIn7 Pro with Win7 Home Basic), you will get an error "Windows is not genuine".

You can however do a universal Windows 7 installation disc so that the installation of the OS will give you a choice to install Windows 7 Home Basic (see this guide). If you are currently running, take care to check the health of your HARD drive using any compatible (i.e. HD Tune) HARD drive diagnostic utility

Hope this helps

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Impossible to reinstall Vista on a new hard disk for Pavilion dv9700t

    Hello.

    Recently, the hard drive on my Pavilion dv9700t (p / n: KL086AV) began to fail.  So I bought a new hard drive and created the recovery disc (I didn't realize that I had to their creation until now, but I got lucky and my computer handed her long enough to do so).

    However, when I installed the new hard drive and tried to launch the recovery discs, I received the message, "this PC is not supported by system recovery disks.  You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    I have vista 32 bit, my old hard drive was 320 GB and a new one, I bought is a Seagate 500 GB.

    Through researching this problem, I came across different answers.  Some say that the size of the hard drive must be the same, others say recovery discs do not work on a new drive hard unless a special action is taken by a technician, and some say that there is no problem at all.

    I can't find any consistent information on this problem.  All the tips, I would much appretiate.  Thank you in advance!

    Hello:

    Sometimes the discs just do not work.

    I have not met a problem where if you have a bigger drive they don't work, but if you get a smaller drive as an SSD, so it's almost a sure bet that they do not work.

    As I see it, you have two choices: buy a set of HP recovery disks, if they are available and hope they work.

    Or if you can read your Vista product key on the sticker COST MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc.

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • New hard disk and overcommitment WARNING

    I'm trying to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer on a NFS datastore that applies a provisioning. Our NFS volumes are set to auto grow, if they reach a certain threshold. This normally isn't a problem, and so over-provisioning us like crazy.

    Recently, however, we encountered a problem when a new hard drive size exceeds free space in the data store. He responds with the following error (creation of a to 1.99 VMDK):

    I tried to create a smaller drive and increase it, but I get the same error. I do not see a - Force parameter or anything equivalent. Is it possible to approve via PowerCLI?

    The ThinProvisioned switch is an option, or which is in conflict with the NFS configuration?

  • reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the new HARD disk, not invited to key code

    My Dimension 9200 needed a new HARD drive. Ordered from Dell, installed HD then re-installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I forgot to unplug the media reader, so I had to reinstall it again to get HARD drive letter assignment as C. Added drivers in good condition and just download and install sp3 and all the necessary updates. Now, all that remains is to transfer all the files from the old HD.

    Never, I was invited to the WinXP key code. I DO have the Dell OEM disc as well as the installation key code in the original Dell factory. I was wondering if anyone else had the same "problem". I checked under administrative tools and don't see anything that ask you "activation". The only thing that I went off and was invited to provide was the key code when I installed MS Office 2003. When I check in system properties, General, it shows that it is registered to me and some numbers with Dell OEM then more numbers, not the OS key code well.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you

    When you use a Dell OEM media on a Dell computer, it checks the BIOS to make sure that it is install on a Dell computer, then it will be activated automatically, using a generic OEM key.  As long as you have the sticker COST/License/Product Key, you have the right to run Windows on this computer.  That's pretty standard for OEM systems.

    System properties still shows a 'code', not the actual key.  You can use Magic Jelly Bean to retrieve the key used to activate Windows, but the key, that he will return does not match your COA and cannot be used for manual activation.

  • Can I switch from MX7 to CF 9 new hard disk using the MX7 serial numbers

    Hi all

    I want to install the version upgrade to coldfusion 9 on a new server / hard disk, using the serial number of MX7, that has been uninstalled.

    Is this possible?  Potential complications?

    I can't disable MX7 because this no longer exists.

    Mike

    Yes, when you enter the CF9 license, the installer will say 'it of a license upgrade, please provide the original of his licence' and give you another form to your CF7 license.  If she likes these two licenses, you're good to go.

  • Installed new HARD drive and activation key has expired

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop and my HARD drive just died. I bought a new one and I used a program called Ez Gig to clone my old HDD to my new HARD drive, before it died completely. Now, I get a message "this is not a genuine copy of Windows. He sends me to a Web Macintoshëoperating site and it runs a check and then tells me that my activation key has expired, and the Microsoft Web site wants me to buy another copy! Why is he doing this and how to fix it? Thank you

    Michael

    Your Windows license is related to your hardware. Since you just cloned the BONE but has changed the hardware, the Windows Activation does not recognize your new system. Thus, the solution would be just to reactivate your Windows.

    The phone activation does not just work. You will need to re-enter your product key.

    Click Start, right-click on computer , and select Properties.

    On the Windows Activation section, click on change product key and enter your key.

    If you are using a retail version of Windows, then the key must be with the disk when you buy it.

    If Windows is preinstalled on the laptop, the key lies in a sticker at the bottom of your laptop.

  • New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

    Hello

    I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

    I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

    Thank you very much.

    Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

    Just, without panic. ;)

    Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
    If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.

  • Envy touchsmart 15 - new HARD disk size

    I recently ordered a Touchsmart from HP Envy 15-j005sa that has a 1 TB HARD drive. I'm looking to clone the orignial in an mSATA SSD drive so I was wondering what size is recommended.  How much space is used when it is new so using this information can buy a large enough disk size?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    There is that little clone options b clone the HARD disk which means that you have the mSATA SSD equal or more 1 TB (b) clone c ONLY: This means you the mSATA SSD equal or superior to c:... My suggestion: shrink C: for small size say even 60 GB or 120 GB (if you don't have a lot of programs installed) FRONT of clone and ONLY clone C: normally larger (capacity) is better because you can install more programs that him.

    Kind regards.

  • Help! Installation of HP Vista recovery disks to a new HARD disk

    I found the same problem in this forum and several others online, but have not been able to find one with a solution!

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook DV6633US

    It has a 120 GB of HDD with Vista Home Premium

    I created recovery discs when I got to the computer

    Last week, crashed HARD drive.

    I bought a new Western Digital HARD drive (the original in the laptop was a Seagate)

    The Western Digital graphic shows the compatibility with my laptop specifically

    I upgraded from the 120 GB to 160 GB

    I tried to run my recovery disks

    It installs the necessary boot files, runs the Windows progress bar and then goes to a blue screen with an operable mouse cursor and an error message that says:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    The laptop is out of warranty at this stage.

    I contacted Technical Support HP in 2 ways and got 2 different answers. I don't know who to believe and do not want to take the time or spend the money on ordering the wrong solution.

    Technology through the Online Chat support says:

    My recovery disks have "gone wrong", and I need to order new HP.

    They insist that will not solve the problem, but I have read in several places online is not the solution

    Technology through support email wrote:

    If I buy a hard drive through a third party, no HP recovery disk will work and I need to buy a new installation of Vista (obviously expensive);

    Just bought HP hard drive works, it comes with its own recovery disks. The recovery disks have a tatoo/signature for specific hardware.

    The HARD drive I bought was reduced to $40. The HP HARD drive is $ 130.

    A ride more. If the HARD drive has a tatoo/signature on my initial, recovery discs - it true for other components?

    While it was still under warranty, I got a CD/DVD defective drive replaced, also a defective mother replaced, and I added the additional RAM.

    I saw several other posts with the same question and a number or suggestions are displayed, but it seems that they never send once they have found a solution that worked.

    Before I bite the bullet and spend the $130 on their HARD drive I want to be sure that will work, and if there is a way I can make it work with the HARD drive that I have bought, I would of course like to do.

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    SOLVED!

    The recovery discs HP factory arrived today and they work... It installs my original factory image as I type!

    It's been almost 2 weeks to get this figured out, but it does not work... so if my omitted self-created recovery discs can be used on a new HARD drive, the factory recovery disks succeeded.

    I just wanted you to know everything for the next person can find the solution that actually worked.

    Thanks for the help and comments!

  • G8 Pavilion laptop hardware error - new hard disk?

    Hello, I spoke with a representative from HP and I wanted a second opinion. Here are the facts:

    Possible virus causing the model to be very slow and have errors at the start up.

    Problems of gel even in "safe mode".

    Decided to do a "System Restore" using F8. Follow-up of the steps, took 20 + minutes, FINISHED.

    A screen says that I can, "1. update of security for HP and microsoft;   2 re - install any other software;    3. install all the backed up files. I selected 'NEXT' at the bottom of the screen, then, "OPERATING SYSTEM not FOUND '. Now I can't other than 'F' screens anyhere

    I call HP. A rep tells me to use F2, test drive. On a quick scan, 1 hard disk failure (SMART disc is OK). The full scan, 1 hard disk failure (SMART disc is OK).  The representative asked me a long code determine the failures, and there is NOT.  I go out of the main system diagnostics page and there are two failure codes: 303 (quick scan) and 305 (full scan). The rep wants codes any longer, but there is not.

    My question: do I need a new hard drive, or I can just recovery disks?

    Thanks for any help you can provide!   -Sarah

    Hello

    Longer code (up to 24 characters) means that the HARD disk is dead. 305 error would indicate that your hard drive is defective and must be replaced. Please backup your files/data as soon as possible. Is your machine still under warranty? In the affirmative, please call HP for a replacement.

    Update: Sorry, I'm a little slow - 3rd opinion then.

    Kind regards.

  • How can I move my files and the operating system on a new hard disk on Inspiron 580 s.

    My hard drive failed Diagnostics recently and needs to be replaced.  I have since installed a new hard drive in Bay 2. I need to move everything from the old drive to the new drive and delete the old which is completed. So what is the best way to go about this?

    pjrl

    The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.
