• Installation of Windows on a new hard drive

  I have a computer I want to get a new, more large hard drive. The vehicle currently has Windows Vista installed on it and the hard drive still works, I just need more space. What should I do to install Windows on the new drive? I will use the installation disc that came with the computer. If I get out the old hard drive, install a new one, put Windows on the new, then format the old one? Basically, I want to avoid having Windows installed on two hard drives to work.

• Loading Windows 7 on new hard drive

  Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba laptop comes with windows 8.  I had to put a new hard drive in it and want to install windows 7 on it.  I have a new installation for windows 7 ult oem that has never been used.  It starts to load windows files and past on the screen "Starting Windows" and after about 3 seconds freezes and stops.  Anyone has an idea about what is up... do I have a bad drive oem?

  Please help, thanks

  If it came with Windows 8, there probably secure boot enabled in the BIOS. Try disabling Secure Boot first, and then try reinstalling.

• Reinstall Windows 7 on new hard drive

  My laptop hard drive has crashed and it is impossible to recover anything. So I bought a new hard drive and realized that I don't have installation media. Microsoft has taken the digitalriver site down and does not allow me to download win7 on their site because my key is OEM. What are my options? Lenovo does not allow their customers to download win7? After all, I have a valid key. Grateful if someone here can help me.

• HP TouchSmart 420 - 1000 t CTO: need help with the installation of windows on a new hard drive for HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO (bought in 2012)

  My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

  I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

  I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

  Thank you very much.

  Kimberly

  PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

  This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.

• Can I move my Windows on a new hard drive?

  Here's the situation:

  I currently have a pretty old IDE hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade to a new motherboard that does not all IDE ports. So basically I'd copy my current hard drive (Windows and all) in a more recent SATA one?

  If not, is there something I could do to move all my stuff on a new hard drive, even if I have to buy a new copy of Windows?

  Thanks in advance for any help, I'm pretty lost at this point.

  Look for a hard drive that suits. Note the manufacturer. Go to their website and download the software they provide for copying/cloning the old drive to the new. Use the new disk on your upgraded computer. You may need to do a telephone activation.

  Note that to do this and have an installation that can be enabled with the current number of product, your version of Windows Vista should be a commercial version and not an OEM version. OEM, those who come usually pre-installed on a PC, versions are valid only for the equipment on which they were originally installed.

  However, even if your original version was OEM, there are ways to proceed. Do the hardware upgrades. Install a new copy of details of the operating system of your choice. (This could be the opportunity to move to Windows 7 unless additional fees). Put your old drive in an external enclosure that accepts IDE (PATA) drives. Copy your files from the user on the newly targeted PC. You will need to install all the old applications.

  It's a pain in the underworld, but the performance improvements are generally well worth the effort.

  Good luck.

• install windows on a new hard drive

  Hi, my laptop has been commissioning so I bought a new hard drive and installed myself. The problem is that I don't have the recovery disks that came with it when we bought it. How can I install windows 7 or vista on the new hard drive.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

How can I get the installation to complete a big thank you to anyone who can help Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

  1. have you recently replaced the hard drive? Do you have any other hard drive already present on the computer?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  3. what installation media you are using during the installation? Is it through DVD or USB?

  This problem normally occurs when you have a problem with the installation media you are using. You can try to have a different installation media and try to install the operating system. Also, make sure that you have not connected external devices other than the mouse keyboard and multimedia installation.

  Hope this information helps. Respond with more information so that we could help you more.
