  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3080, which came with Windows7. Now, I bought a 120 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows on the SSD by selecting Factory Reset. However, I get the message that the size of the hard drive has changed and that's why I can't use Factory Reset.

  Hello:

  Partitions or recovery discs do not work on a smaller hard drive.

  You need to install a simplified version of windows 7 on your SSD. You will not break the laws or rules of license by using the product key on the bottom of the PC to activate the installation.

  However, if you can not read all 25 characters of the product key you are flat out of luck and will have to buy a new operating system.

  Here's how to make your own simple Windows 7 installation disc if you have not already.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Inspiron 17R cannot install windows on the new drive

  I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 with a dead 1 t HARD and the 32 GB SSD drive. The hard drive is a loss total and out of warranty, so I have to install Windows on a new hard drive.

  I don't have a recovery disk so I install Windows 8.1 since an original DVD I ordered from Microsoft, some time ago.

  My problem is that the laptop is not considered to be able to boot from the DVD. I get a message "No operation system Found."

  I changed the startup list in the BIOS to first have the DVD. I tried f12 to choose the DVD to start but nothing works. I checked the disc in another computer and it's good.

  I read something on the problems causing mSATA SSD and also on the Intel Rapid Storage is a problem.

  Please help if you can, I need the laptop for school.

  (Or fact) the DVD Player reads all other discs?

• Install windows on the new drive

  I replaced my hard drive as old one stopped working, I had windows 7 Home Edition premium on the old, can I install it on the new hard drive otherwise that having to buy it because it's come on the computer when I brought and I have no install disc or anything. Thank you

  The original system would have a utility to create discs in particular that it was not provided with all, manufacturers were required to give one or another recovery option.

  Some PC manufacturers can provide this set of diskettes of missing recovery, but at a cost. If the COA label is readable, it should be possible to download the ISO installation to match the version that is named on the label.

• Upgrade of equipment and went from XP to Win7 - how do I transfer/install CS5 on the new SSD?

  I've recently updated the workings of my computer; new mobo, Samsung SSD (solid state drive), CPU and ram. Continued XP Pro Windows 7 Pro with Win 7 Pro now residing on the new solid state drive. I still have the old 1 TB Serial ATA hard drive connected as a storage device, and that is CS5. But of course my CS5 applications are now unusable.

  Can someone please give me some advice on how to transfer the old HD (XP Pro) CS5 installation for the new SSD (Win 7 Pro)? I started to do some research and reading on the first "off-setting" CS5, but I can't open any of my CS5 applications to 'disable '. So I'm puzzled. I am reluctant to try a new installation of my disks in CS5, until I learn the regular procedure...

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!

  No comment on my approach to the installation?

  I read, that I might need a storage driver to install 7

  I have also read that since the laptop has an SSD hd and hiding

  permutation for one SSD HD requires additional settings in the bios,

  people say to google, but I'm not finding the info?

  I'd be happy to simply be remove the small SSD of 32 GB and use other where

  or use it as a separate drive when the new main SSD is installed.

  Last question, if I manage to install win7 should I ever want to sell your laptop

  simply replace the original HD and SSD would win 8 reexecute.

  I read that someone who tried, but a safety feature would fail to boot from the original HD?

  Hello:

  I agree with your statements 1-5, with the amendment that there is only the W7 x 64 drivers for your laptop on its support page and driver, since HP only supports consumption patterns for the BONES of public windows into force at the time of the laptop (now Windows 8).

  Therefore, based on the hardware in your PC, I recommend you to use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model instead.

  DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5274535#N608

  Now, I love the idea of installing on a separate HARD drive and returning the original disc if you want to sell the laptop, or simply go back to the use of W8.

  I think that if you went into the BIOS and returns settings to their default values and close the notebook before reinstalling the original drive, it should work perfectly.

  If you do not change the BIOS to their default settings before installing the original drive, I tend to accept that he cannot start.

  You cannot change all settings for the storage controller BIOS in your laptop.

  I think with the models with these caches ssd, is by default the RAID BIOS.

  If you use a Windows 7 installation disc or an ISO file that does not have SP1 media refresh, then Yes, you probably have to load a sata driver.

  Here's how to confirm that your speed controller is set to (AHCI or RAID).

  The simple way to check if your laptop drive controller is set to AHCI or RAID (it will be one of the two), is to do the following.

  To check if the drive is set to AHCI, go to Device Manager. Look at the categories of device.

  If the laptop is AHCI, there will be a category of devices IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Click to expand this category and you will see the name of the controller sata which are listed there.  For the chipset of your model, you should see that an Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller listed.

  If your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, look further down the list of device category, and you'll see a category of storage controllers. Click to expand that, and if your laptop drive controller is set to RAID, you should see a controller Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID.

  Here is how you can determine which mode the inverter of your laptop SATA is configured for.

  Here is the link to the sata drivers, you may need... You want to download the first file listed for W7 x 64

  https://downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&Keyword=Intel+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel+RST) & lang = fra

  So here's how to install the driver...

  Extract the files downloaded on a USB key.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and should install W7.

• Re: How to install Windows on the new Satellite Pro C50 8.1?

  I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50, that came with Windows 7 pre-installed.

  When you start the system for the first time, I simply close and put Windows 8.1 media into the optical drive (disc 1 of 4) then entered the Recovery Wizard and may have chosen the wrong option, because I completely erase the hard drive and partitions.

  Now that I did it, I can't find how to install the Windows Media Pro 4 DVD provided 8.1. I can't find the correct option to do this. I changed the startup option in the control panel by pressing F2 at startup, so it reads from the DVD player. The DVD starts but then takes me into a recovery area of the system, which is not good as I wiped the system completely.

  How can I just now to install the Pro 8.1 provided Windows on the clean system right now?

  Thanks for any advice.

  First, I would like to know what model of laptop you have exactly. If possible, please report the entire model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check the specification for this model of laptop.

  Did you buy this laptop as any new product and model in box?

  Anyway, if you have installation discs original recovery for this, you should be able to install it without problems. Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. This menu wil shown on the screen, insert disc 1 into the optical disk drive, choose the CD/DVD drive from the menu, and then press ENTER.

  ODD must start reading Wizard disk / recovery will be shown o the screen. Choose the option to install out-of-box / factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.

• I was referred to this site. Problems with installing Windows on the new drive.

  Greetings!

  I just installed a new hard drive on my Mini 311 1037. I bought the HP recovery discs. The operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (I guess it was the correct operating system for that computer). The installation seemed fine, but after installing the drivers, I get the message, "Windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."  Then after the restart, after the initial windows screen, I get a message that says "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, run the Setup again. "I atempted to iireinstall 3 times. All diagnostic tests are good: the hard drive, the memory. I have no idea what to do next. Help, please?

  If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

  Links to downloads of Windows 7 ISO files:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need to a DVD + R or DVD - R. Or a flash drive 4 GB to use the USB method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation

  Use 25 characters on the COA key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then, go to the page support and driver to install the drivers you need.

• Satellite C660 - how to install Windows on the new drive?

  I have an old C660 of 14 months (2 months warranty!) and the HARD drive died quite suddenly.

  * 3 days works great
  * 2 days, got stuck at the "starting Windows".
  * Tried to fix with a System Repair (DVD) boot disk, but could not solve the problem (ran all night)
  * Start of DVD today and now the prompt of commands, each command "dir" on c: takes 20 seconds and try to copy files gives IO error.

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and install, but is there a way to get Windows 7 on the drive?
  There is no Windows disk supplied with the notebook... THERE is a recovery partition, but it died too.

  I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows when I already have a license.

  (I never have a backup complete incl. system, like the one and the only time that I tried to do that it was unable to complete the process, killing of many Virgin DVD-R in the process).
  I have most of my personal files backed up.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite clear. You don t have created the recovery disk and you have only two options now:
  (1) you can order the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install the original recovery image
  (2) you can get the original installation disc from Microsoft and install own OS

  In the first case, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0202TA0000R01.htm

  If you take the decision to use option 2 Please note that your product key is useless and you have to pay for the new activation of license and the code. The sticker product key Microsoft belongs to the recovery image only.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Fresh install of Windows 8 the new SSD and Windows update found 127 updates and they failed with error code 80248007

  Hello

  Glad you got it going... If I had to guess, it was very likely updates .net 3.5, which has caused the problem... or maybe, Net 4.5...

  They require a process runs to complete their installation that seems to start running in the middle of updates remaining to try to install...
