Windows 7 64 bit damaged, no backup, no repair disc, no set of recovery, no picture,

My granddaughters computer laptop K53E from ASUS (2010 purchase) with Win7 64 (home?) has stopped working and has not been used for about 2 years.  Not record it, no set of recovery or repair, no image or backup.  He now needs - hard drive was full with games and some viruses.  I've released the space and got rid of the virus.

Update Windows automatically downloaded around 150 updates - it wouldn't let me select this option to install only some, then they all begin to install, almost done when windows crashed and could not even get a DOS command prompt.  No recovery no worked configuration option.

I used Win7 64 bit Pro drive my son (came with his HP ProBook) to install Windows and located all ASUS from ASUS.com drivers.  But now I can not activate Windows.  I tried the license key from the sticker from ASUS (for don't Win 7 64 Home / Premium (?)) No dice.  Tried the Win7 Pro 64 of my son disk key and no dice.

She paid for a license of Windows 7, when she bought the ASUS K53E.  Single MOM at 30, she goes back to the school and broke.

Is it possible that she can turn it on Windows7, or some other way to get a short operating system to purchase $130?

Thank you.     n

You own a poorly installed edition and you used a HP disc reinstall. You must specifically download and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

If you can't get this edition, you can consider switching to Windows Home 64 bit 10:

  • Windows Vista 32-bit is failing to start after the success of the recovery.

    Hi all, my apologies if this has already been covered in another post, I checked but I'm new here so might have forgotten.

    I have a HP Pavilion a6442a with Windows Vista 32-bit. A couple of weeks it froze, forcing me to maually shut down, and now it does not restart. It gets so far then goes to startup repair, which never seems to find no problem. I tried restoring the system (to several different restore points), conducted diagnostic tests, conducted tests of memory and hd and tried commissioning in all modes as I could: no problem can't find anywhere and I always had the same problem. Finally, I backed up my files and made a full recovery of the system. It said it completed successfully, I restarted to complete the installation of Windows, it gets "Please wait a moment while Windows starts for the first time... "freezes, restarts and then traced directly back to the start screen for repair.

    I am at a loss, I've done everything I can think. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello:

    Have you added any hardware configuration inventory (other than replace the hard disk or add memory)?

    Do you have only the mouse, keyboard and screen plugged in when you ran the recovery procedure?

    If the answer to question 1, remove any material that you have installed that do not come with the PC and try to recover again.

    If the PC is recovering successfully, close and reinstall your spare hardware.

    If not, question 2, unplug anything other than the mouse, the keyboard and the monitor and try to recover again.

    If you continue to be confused and you can read all 25 characters of the product key of Vista on your PC case, you can make your own Vista installation media.

    It will be just a simple installation of Vista and no software other than the operating system will be included.

    You can install the drivers and software available to support for your PC and driver page.

    Link to the info below... click on the blue link of the reinstallation of Windows Guide PDF and start reading the news of Vista that starts on page 296.

  • Windows 7 64-bit. The backup failed, error 0 x 80070020

    When you perform a backup of the complete picture of my 64-bit Windows 7 machine I received an error: the backup failed.  The process cannot access the file becaue it is used by another process.  0 x 80070020

    OK, let's go:

    The computer is a little over a month, I just built it in December.  It's only a 64 bit MB Gigabyte with AMD processor and 4 GB of memory.  I have an internal drive C and D. I had no problem with the procedure of backup for the first three weeks, and then it started.

    Hardware drivers are all new.
    No recent changes to the computer during the last 10 days
    I have NOT installed any software CD burning in the last 10 days.
    I installed iTunes a month ago.
    iTunes ran very well until a couple of days ago when a message began to appear:

    "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.

    I ran a repair on iTunes (an option that came when I tried to uninstall) and since it did not work, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  Still have the problem.

    Then I ran /Scannnow STC.  No problem found

    Then I ran chkdsk C: /f /r.  No problem found

    Then I ran the backup program.  Same error, the backup was not completely successful, error Code: 0 x 80070020.

    I went to backup settings and change them as the suggested message.  I DISABLED "Backup data for newly created users" and the backup completed successfully.

    My question is double what the _ is this option there for and why are these kinds of things put in the first place in DEFAULT AS of the elements operating systems?

    Looks like all is well and I spent most of a solving Sunday.

  • Need driver Windows 7 64 bit for axes accelerometer ST microelectronics 3 on Dell Inspiron Mini Duo 1090

    Someone at - it a way to correct the ST Microelectronics 3-axis accelerometer (motion detector) which will not work because I upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 7? Given that the Intel Atom N550 is only dual core too slow, I am trying to extend the useful life of the convertible tablet with 4 GB of RAM and 64 bit version will use. In addition, I started by trying to upgrade to Windows 8 because there is an app I want to who does not work on Windows 7. Not only do you get the accelerometer fail to start, but the updates of Windows 8 removed my OS, so I had to restore Windows 7 32 bit from a backup. Then I tried to install Windows technical preview 10 because the app even says it will work with that, but the installation kept hanging up to 30%, so I gave up and tried Windows 7 64 bit. Still, no functional accelerometer, but at least updates all worked (so far, including sp1). Given that I intend to upgrade to 64-bit Windows 10 as soon as they release it (July according to technical support), I hope this driver setting.

    In the Dell support forums, message by Carnino April 7, 2011 offers workaround using Microsoft .net SDK. Since it does not say which version has the CorFlags app, I have installed .net frameworks on 4 and Visual Studio 2010 upwards. At the Windows command prompt, I get errors saying that CorFlags was not a recognized command. I asked for help on the Dell forum even and installed the CorFlags there app. I saw flash by in the command line window, so he must have installed, but it is not yet a recognized order when I try to run it at the command prompt.

    Then I tried Windows SDK 7.1 commands prompt, which also tells me "CorFlags.exe is not recognized as a command internal or external, an executable program or batch file." Now what? Is not a developer, I don't know if I have installed all the necessary tools for .net framework programs work, and I have no idea how to use the Visual Studio or if a version is mess up another version. Now, I have installed the Windows Driver Kit for Windows 8.1 because it says it does too many drivers for Windows 7, but it's an another shot in the dark.

    I can use the orientation of the laptop computer screen if necessary when I flip the screen for Tablet of orientation, but it is annoying, especially for reading and editing of books while I walk, the main use for which I bought this Duo.

    No, I can't afford to buy a Tablet convertible new again, especially rare with a decent size hard disk. I don't trust books of my clients to cloud storage. Please help if you can. Thank you.

  • Creation of recovery Win 7 64 bit for Satellite L500-19 x disc?

    My new Satellite L500 - 19 X came pre-installed with Win 7-64 bit version.
    Also includes a "product recovery Win 7 32 bit" disc

    Inside of the package a brochure said:

    "If you plan to use 64-bit at a later stage, please create a _recovery medium_ before installing Windows 7 32 bit"

    He then warns me to create a "medium recovery 64-bit... you are ordering that 64-bit recovery media is not free."

    The manual goes long on "_System Recovery Options" as stated in the manual I did a "Windows 7 64 bit repair disc" can I say that I don't have or can't have a real Win 7 64 bit disc?

    The brochure says "a backup copy (file Win 7 64-bit) is stored on the hard drive as a _recovery image_" so is this the real Win 7 64 bit full disk that I'm after, and if so how do I get it?

    Toshiba documentation is not clear, and I think rather contradicts itself?

    I'm confused! Someone at - he understands what's going on?

    JohnF.

    Hello

    If I understand correctly, you have received the laptop pre-installed with Win 7 64 bit OS.
    But you didn t get the drive recovery Win 7 64 bit, but you have a Win 7 32 bit recovery disc. Is this good?

    Matt good the case is that the use of the recovery disk will format the entire HARD drive and will erase everything from the HARD drive. This means that you will lose the Win 7 64 bit OS preinstalled.
    So if you would not create the recovery disk Win 7 64 bit before using the Win 7 32 bit recovery disc, then you will not be able to go back to the 64-bit version.

    Therefore, create the Win 7 64 bit recovery disc at the beginning. So you are safe and can install Win 32-bit and 64-bit when you want.

  • Windows files have been damaged. Do I need a Vista 32 bit repair disc?

    Hello

    Our laptop has recently screwed up by a 'technician' and I managed to get it working again, but it seems that some windows files have been damaged or corrupted.

    I did the sfc/scannow, and he has repaired some but said that some are not repairable and I tried workaround renaming on these files and it did not help.

    In the end, I think that the best option would be to use the 'fix' that I used with previous computers but this laptop had the OS pre-installed.

    I tried to use the option via F8 startup repair and, once again, it seems have suffocating somrthing but yet, there seems to be having trust damaged or missing.

    I looked on the web of th for repair dics and I'm not sure that those that you can download and burn it to a DVD/CD are what I need as they seem to refer to commissioning repair function rather than in "repair mode" full I thought I had used previously.

    Can someone give me advice on how to do it (without return the laptop to factory settings) to try to fix / replace these files corrupt / missing?

    Yes, I'm trying to see if someone has a 32 bit Vista DVD disc and I'll try to use it to get the repair feature, but like I said nobody has this disc I know.

    Will just persevere with the question and if it gets really bad enough to return to the factory settings.

  • Satellite A660 - change Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hi there everyone.

    Really hoping someone can help me here. My A660 had 64-bit Windows 7 installed on it. It was installed as an option I chose when I bought the new product. I had to fix it because the hard drive was bad sectors. If Toshiba gave me an interview and gave me a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows for what they called the factory settings. It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.

    Now I have a problem when I go to reinstall my system image before taking service, I've created, but I seem to fail whenever I try this. I used the advanced recovery methods and he does not see my hard drive, but when I restart from there he concludes the backup on the external drive, but then he says that he cannot reinstall and I need to reinstall from the recovery disc. So I restart from that and it loads, but it gets to a point where he wants me to insert a disc to cotninue recovery and, as previously indicated my system image are on an external hard drive.

    I'm really lost, stayed back and tried to copy the image of the system directly on the folder of C, but which does nothing. I don't know what to do to get the picture of the system either accepted, or the recovery disc that I have the system installed.

    I'm not a tech guy, but am pretty comfortable in following instructions. Can anyone help me, either move to 64-bit or reinstall it with. Please, I beg you, help is needed! I thought I did everything I was supposed to and followed all the rules handy calculation, but I do not.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello

    > It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.
    Is this really Windows 7 32-bit and you have already verified this? You can check if you right click on my computer and select Properties.

    If he s really Windows 7 32 bit, you can restore the 64-bit version using the Toshiba recovery disc but if I understood you correctly you don t have the recovery disk and only some of the files you backed up on external HARD disk, right? Well is not enough

    Normally, the recovery disk Toshiba, you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual. Using this disk, you can restore the original settings of the case and after the first start of your laptop you have seen this message:

    AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

    There may be a password.
    Try this:
    Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
    Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
    Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
    Select 'Options '.
    Select "Disable security password"

  • Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

    Hello, I have a question.

    I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

    No idea why the systems are different?

    It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

    Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

    I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
    + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

    This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
    The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
