Vegetto hard drive Windows cannot fix

Since the need to install the new hard drive I will be able to win.7 on machine

Hello

·        Change you the hard drive only or try to install windows 7 on a new machine?

If you only change the drive of the machine then there is no problem with installation and activation of the copy of windows 7. But you must activate the copy via telephone support.

If you try to install the second copy of windows 7 on a different machine when one is already active then you can install Windows 7 but will not be able to activate it.

In simple terms, you can get a copy of Windows 7 active with the product key on one machine at a time. To install windows 7 and activate on another computer, you should get a new product key.

Note: You can use the same disk to install windows 7 on different computers, but when you activate Windows 7, a product key is valid for a single installation.

For help, see the article mentioned below.

  • Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

    I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

    Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

    Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

    If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

    Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.

    but leave it plugged during the start of what the computer does nothing

  • Toshiba STOR. E CANVIO external HARD disk - windows cannot find 'ToshibaPlaces '.

  • Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

    I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
    He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

    When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

    I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

    Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

    Thanks for anyone who can help you.

  • Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

    Hello

    I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
    "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
    I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
    To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
    2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
    4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
      You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

      All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

      Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

    5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.
    I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.

    Hello Margo15,

    If you assembled your PC yourself, this may happen because of the bad connection in your hardware.

    You can consult:
    1 make sure your CDROM /dvdrom is properly connected.
    2. the hard drive is properly connected, make sure that there is no loose connection.
    3. Insert the CD of Installation of XP and reboot the PC to check again.

    Is the usable hard drive prior to this install attempts or you install a new copy of XP into a new PC?

    Waiting for your response.

    Thank you and best regards.

  • had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

    My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.
