  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

  Click on properties

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  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?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

• Windows Update does not work after new hard drive

  After you install the new hard drive, when I click on windows update, it opens, makes his scan, then I get the message, (the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page) I have a Dell Optiplex 745 running XP Pro, Explorer 8, have tried several times and restarted, please help.

  What do you think of will be without safety last cumulative update for IE8 be manually downloaded and installed before going to windows update to nothing at all.  What will happen is the CPU at 100% and a whole lot of nothing else of fortification.

  Do not go in line with the hopes of getting the updates of windows after the installation of SP3.

  Disable automatic updates in Control Panel > automatc updates > disable automatic updates

  Start > run > wuaucpl.cpl > disable automatic updates > apply (if the setting is changed) > OK

  Get the exe to install offline full download for IE8 [should represent approximately a 16 MB file] and then install IE8 after SP3 and the decline of the ability to download updates for IE8 at installation time.

  Then manually download and install the current cumulative security for IE8 update and restart the computer.

  visit Windows Update through your browser link in the start menu.  Consent to any ActiveX install queries and validation / advantage genuine offer and cross your fingers.

• Why my Windows XP won/t find my new hard drive (bit 1 TR)

  I "ve installed a new hard drive (!)" TR cock) but Windows XP will not see it. Why not??

  Try this:

  Click Start, right-click my computer, click on manage (this will open Computer Management), go to disk management

  see if the disc is there, if that is the case, right click and select format.  Keep the NTFS, make sure that the quick format is checked, and then click format.  It is then shaped and should be visible in my computer.

• Windows XP Pro the cloning of new hard drives (ready to use to backup discs).

  Hello. I use a system dual-boot Windows XP Pro at the moment. The first instance of XP, I use for internet, test new applications, etc... (a beat hard drive). The second instance of XP, I only use my Audio Studio. Due to an an external sound card very inconsistently (Presonus Firebox), this system does not work.

  "Why not just install everything on a disk?" you ask. I have operated this way until recently and have grown tired of incompatible software and need to keep my Audio Studio completely isolated from everything else.

  What I did to remedy this situation is:
  (A) I bought a total of 4 hard drives SATA Seagate (unfortunately they aren't all the same capabilities. 2 x 250 GB + 300 + 500 GB.)
  (B) I bought some EZ-Swap hard drive trays. (Have the instances of XP with a C:\ root on 2 separate hard drives. One is the pace of the drive, the other only my Audio Studio. When the need to use the desired OS, I just slide into the status bar.)

  Due to the fact that I'm on dial-up (there is no high speed in my area so far), "days" to completely update my Windows XP Pro.

  My goal is as follows:
  (1) to perform a clean Windows (all the hardware drivers installed except for my external sound card) and fully implemented installation up-to-date. I don't plan any change of material with the exception of my card external sound.
  (2) from there, create an exact image of the operating system that can be saved in a data cd/dvd/hard drive to copy onto a new hard drive. Image includes everything. Ex: registry entries, the drivers installed and software.

  Norton Ghost is not an option, because it will have to be installed to make the image, therefore, be part of the image.

  Any ideas on how I can do such a thing works? Windows 'Backup' do what I propose (an ISO standard or emulated)?

  I prefer Acronis True Image of Norton Ghost. I don't know why you would want it installed in your operating system image, so just install it in your other operating system. You create a True Image bootable CD and allows to clone/disk images. Ghost or True Image - besides - will do exactly what you want. We do that all at once for clients with critical systems - clone their server to an identical disk drive hard (it must not be the same in your case) and put the spare drive in the closet in an emergency. True Image doesn't have to be installed on the target computer - just install * somewhere * so you can build the bootable CD. Or if you buy the retail version House instead of the download (what we do because we use an Enterprise version), the TI CD is probably bootable. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Install Windows XP disc required for the new hard drive

  I bought an Inspiron 510 m new Dell laptop some time ago and am trying to install a new hard drive. However, even though I have the license key of Windows XP on the sticker on the laptop, I don't have a Windows XP installation CD - Dell would be please to send me an and let me know who I need to contact my details?

  Thank you very much

  Good news - I just called Dell who have been extremely helpful technical support. They had no problem talking to me and agreed to send me a replacement at a reasonable cost drive, and it seems they still distribute XP discs. Just thought I would post only in case it helps others in the same boat.

• Installation in Windows Vista Home Premium on the new hard drive

  I try to install Vista on a new hard drive.  All right until the END of the INSTALLATION is made.  Then the screen turns black with just the mouse showing.  What's wrong?

  We have no idea of the history of this computer or which has been installed on it.

  If you try to install Vista using recovery disk/s of the computer manufacturer, contact them for any problem with him.

  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

• Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

  HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

  Here is my story:

  A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

  I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

  Finally, the hard drive failed.

  Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

  In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

  I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

  After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

  I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

  I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello

  OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

  Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

  Cyberlink CD recovery for hard drives. When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.
