• NEW HARD DRIVE NOW WINDOWS ACTIVATION ERROR PLEASE HELP

  I bought 2 Dell inspiron laptop computer n5040 in July 2010 for my son. In October, the hard drive failed completely on one and had to be replaced. I have re-installed all software using the disks of backup/recovery system, I created when we first arrived the laptops. Has been a lot of work, but then I got the Activate message windows however, the label key at the bottom of the laptop is so faded, I can do only 15 first numbers/letters. I've run magical jelly bean and typed in the key, it gave me. However, this proved be the key to the other laptop. Apparently, when I did the re - install the system disks copied this information too.

  I contacted Dell to find the right key and they have been very useful and after many emails, checking the laptop / proof of purchase etc, they agreed to send me a re-installation disc that would solve the problem.

  My 30 days are up, and I constantly get the non-genuine message. Disk hadn't come in December (be they sent to my old address even if I confirm my new address 3 times). Finally, have them yesterday but not lucky me they sent me a disc to install windows 8. I don't want windows 8, I want to stay under windows 7. It is now October and I'm really tired now. Is can someone please tell me how to find the original key for my laptop so I can reactivate windows.

  Thank you very much.

  Teena

  You're out of luck, because the media keys and recovery of COSTS directly from Dell would have been your best two options, the only other thing you can do if you really need Windows 7 is to buy a full version license:

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate - full version

  Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

• Reinstalling Vista on a new hard drive in a Dell XPS420

  I have been using my Dell XPS 420 for years, but lately the C: drive (with Windows Vista Home Premium and the recovery partition) are dead. I had to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive. It went well until Vista was finished all the updates that are accumulated. He says that my Windows is not genuine, and he refused to go further than the connection. The Windows CD is Dell and it came with the computer. My Dell warranty expired a long time ago. Can anyone help?

  Using the recovery process of the manufacturer normally does not require activation. It will activate itself during the recovery process.

  Product key and product ID are two different things

• Satellite L350D-21 problems using new HARD drive recovery recovery disks

  Hello

  I have laptop SATELLITE L350D-212 with windows 7 Home premium OA.
  He started to complain that there is something wrong with the hard drive so I went and bought another hard drive of the same size.

  I created the recovery disk when the computer was purchased and have backup of all the data in an external hard drive.

  After I changed the new hard drive to the laptop and tried to boot from the recovery disc, nothing happens eventhoug I can see it seems to be all Ok with the disc.

  Any ideas on how to get to run to the new hard drive recovery?

  I have the old hard drive attached as external drive via the USB port, but cannot boot from that too. It just stops at a certain point and told to stop.

  Hello

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the new HARD drive but I recommend you to join the new HARD drive as an external device to another computer and format the new HARD drive before trying to recover the laptop.

  Once the HARD drive has been formatted, connect it to the L350D and boot from the recovery disc

  Good luck

• Loading Vista on a new hard drive

  I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a new hard drive on a laptop HP Pavilion DV6000 of portable entertainment is since 2007.  Now, the laptop came with Vista pre-installed.  The laptop came with a system recovery disk.  My question is: this disk contains Windows Vista I need to load new hard disk?

  GaryRob

  Yes assuming that the new hard disk is at least as large as the former, system recovery disk is exactly what you need to restore the PC as long as you plant. Simply tap on F9 you turn on with the disc in the drive and select the DVD as a source of start-up and follow on-screen prompts. You'll need to do a lot of updates, but you will have a working computer.

• Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

  Hi people,

  I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
  I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

  And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
  If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

  Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

  Dave

  Of course you can do it.
  The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

  So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

• Satellite A50 432 - installation on a new HARD drive recovery DVDs

  I have an A50-432 and the HARD drive has failed. I was able to install the DVD of recovery on the old HARD drive using the Q: drive prompt. But when the new HARD drive is installed it does not recognize the new HARD drive as a destination.

  How can I install a new HARD drive recovery DVD?

  Hello!

  Have you checked the BIOS if the new HARD drive is recognized properly?
  Maybe the new drive HARD isn t working properly and if the BIOS doesn't recognize it. Then you are also not able to install the disc of recovery on this subject.

  Normally, you only have to boot from the recovery disc and follow the instructions on the screen. All that s.

  Good bye

• Migration to Vista Home Premium programs and files for Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hi guys, I just want to know if there's no possibilities

  to migrate from installed programs and files in my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  --------------------------------

  Also if I have Vista Home Premium should I switch to Windows 7 Home Premium too. I want to Windows 7 Ultimate!

  Hello

  You can upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium or ultimate; the choice is yours.

  «Compare the editions of Windows 7»

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare

  If you go from Vista 32 bit Home Premiun 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, you can do an inplace upgrade.

  The same goes for Vista 64 bit for Windows 7 64-bit

  This will keep your programs and data intact.

  But ALWAYS make a backup of data when you perform this type of work on your computer.

  "How to do an Installation of upgrade Inplace of Vista to Windows 7"

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1818-upgrade-install-Windows-7-a.html

  And before you buy Windows 7 read and check to see if your computer is able to use Windows 7 to its best advantage:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

  Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

  "Windows 7 system requirements"

  See you soon.

  p.s. If you want from 32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit, upgrade facilities are not available.

  You will need to do a clean install.
