Windows 7 not recognizing not not hard drive enclosure

I want to access (files) to a XP disc that would no longer start. I bought a hard drive enclosure, installed XP inside drive and plugged into my new computer (Windows 7). Windows Explorer does not display the drive, even after restarting the computer again. Why?

Go to disk management and assign a drive letter to the disk.

  • Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

    Genuine Windows clean install

    Hello

    I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

    In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.
    Kind regards

    Good night, I have a computer laptop windows 8 and I fear that the HARD drive (malfunction) he'll need replacement.

    My question is, what will happen to my windows 8 license, once my current HARD drive stop working (because the key is encrypted in the bios)?

  • Can I install windows 7 on the superdive replacement hard drive

    Hello people,

    Recently I replaced the drive of my macbook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with an adapter (caddy tray) to put in a second hard drive (500 GB todhiba).

    Now I am trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp (on an os x 10.9.5, bootcamp 5.1.2), but when I boot from the usb device, when windows ask me which drive I want to install it, it says: windows cannot be installed to this disk, drive must be formatted ntfs + your computer hardware seem unable to run windows 7 check your system components and try again.

    I've tried several things: the direct USB win7 reformat, delete the partition, create partition... still no luck.

    Of in osx: reformat the disk with unallocated space (MBR) and try again to install direct USB... had the same error messages.

    I even tried to install Ubuntu gnome rather with a live usb works but all I get when holding the option button while booting is my Macintosh HD, the drive appears.

    Can someone give me about workaround or even show me the way? I am out of ideas now.

    Thank you very much

    Simon.

  • Can't restore Vista backup - backup zip files are not recognized, on external hard drive

    I backed up my files with Windows Backup, which divide into 200 MB zip files.  Now I am unable to restore the backup because it is not recognized when I try to use the backup to restore.  It's on an external hard drive and Windows for some reason any do not recognize.  I tried to move it to the desktop, but it is not always recognized as a backup.  I tried to use the advanced restore, windows recovery, and it won't work.  Must the file with the zip files be in a specific location on the disk so that it can be recognized, or should it be named something specific?  Please help me, I really need these files.

  • Windows 7, re - install the new hard drive was a success, but I now get guests that it is not valid, and I need to buy Windows 7

    From January 2013, after a series of about 13 automatic updates, Windows 7 hang in the boot process.  Using the repair function of the system on the Windows 7 installation disc, I was able to select a restore point at the beginning and Windows would be operated until I chose shutdown and updates would be automatically install 13 updates and then freeze at startup.  Finally, in a workaround, I would choose standby extended instead of shutdown until the system would break down after 10 days.    After going through this loop until the end of February, I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 again.  I used the product key and the OEM ID on the back of my Acer Aspire 5253 - BZ849, but keep getting prompts is not valid.  How can I get this fixed WITHOUT PAYING for WINDOWS AGAIN!

    The product key on the back label of the Acer PC is: * product key removed privacy * (initially, it has been accepted as valid.  Now I get guests that it is not and I have 22 days to activate.)  There is also a code in parentheses (X 16-96072), followed by 168-00196-149-361.

    Other data are product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00006

  • Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

    It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

    And now...

    I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

    No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

    What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

    OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

    At HP; Recover the system after the hard drive is replaced (Windows Vista)
