• Windows 8 - recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive

  My HDD had major errors of io only 1 month laptop warranty. I can't clone the original disc, its dead. I'm relatively new to Win8 but I bought the factory HP recovery disks for my model and have tried repeatedly to restore the OS win8 without success even after support technical advice ofHP and several friends with more experience than me (and I got an A + cert for more than a decade)-I have no idea why he keeps fails. I ordered another set of discs and tried another new hard drive. The log shows all the hardware in the way and a sysprep not found error at the end. What Miss me?

  Problem solved! After another half-dozen recovery more attempts and lose more money on a new HP certified hard drive with the correct part number, I decided to give up Windows 8 and turn this laptop in a Hackintosh, I now on Mac OS X!  Microsoft has gone too far now, only not with the security of windows, instead of trying to make sure they get every penny they can from each PC running windows. His self defeat really. Those who cannot or do not want to pay the cost will simply find an alternative. I'm just tired of the headaches and of constantly having to spend my precious time proving that I have a valid OS license for every computer that I've updated or repair. Forcing people to buy the same item several times is aggravating and false. Sorry, just fan frustration.

• Reinstall Windows Media Center under Windows 7 Ultimate after the new hard drive, installed using Microsft Windows 7 disc

  I had the misfortune I had to replace my hard drive on my Toshiba laptop after reinstalling my Windows 7 Ultimate disc, I find that I am unable

  load the Windows Media Center software. When I click on the location of the file, some files are visible, but it does not load.

  Can I use the disk window to replace or repair the Windows Media Center files without causing other problems?

  Don Winston Hills NSW Australia

  Open your Start menu by pressing the Windows key and type FEATURES in the search box. Select 'Windows turn features on or off ". When the Panel opens, expand the category "Media Features" and place a check in the box "Windows Media Center". You may need to restart after Windows reconfigures itself.

• No Internet after the new hard drive and Windows 7 Clean reinstall

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 I bought in 2011.

  The Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB hard drive died, and I replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda 2 TB drive. The re - install Windows 7 went ok, but I couldn't connect to the net.

  A ran the device driver and got errors on the network card and the RAID.

  I went on the site of Dell for the 9100 and installed the drivers for the adapter and the RAID.

  No luck. I always get the error "no card" as well as the error 'no cable not connected.

  I read a lot of posts about this problem and am stuck.

  Someone has an idea how I can fix this once and for all and go on the internet?

  I advise to patch Windows 7 with the WSUS Offline Update:

• Windows XP Pro on which I run several programs. After the opening of a few applications, I have this message "not enough memory".

  Hello

  I have a PC running Windows XP Pro on which I run several programs. After the opening of a few applications, I have this message "not enough memory".
  When I have this message, I can't open another application, or those in Windows... I have 2 GB of memory and only 700 MB are used.
  If I open the calculator several times (about 65 times), I have the same result.
  Sometimes, I get no error message, but the application does not open.

  Someone knows why?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You did the chnages on computer before this problem?

  I suggest you go through the steps of the following atrticle.

  "Not enough memory" error message appears when you have a large number of programs running.

• Windows XP Pro - Restore backup full to the new hard drive Questions

  My HD player (only four years, ARGH) for my Dell Dimension 4700 threw the sector of disk errors in Event Viewer.  I tried disc analysis to fix and it did not help.  I did a full backup, including the State information system on an external hard drive using backup utility Windows XP Pro.  I don't have an emergency boot disk, just the XP PRO installation disc.

  I have the new drive (Sata 320 GB rather than Sata 80 GB) installed and loaded with Windows XP again.  I am able to connect and fix the external hard drive and want to restore my old information.

  I think that I should restore the backup file using Windows XP with security, junction points, and above all, preserve the mount points for the reader verify that Yes.

  It is the appropriate procedure to restore a full backup to a hard drive nine?

  Restoration of the old registry to the backup will damage the install drive?

  Thank you

• Im trying to register my Photoshop elements 11 and it says that my email is not valid

  Hi - I bought PSE11 (6 upgrade!) and installed it successfully.

  I then got a apple on this site using my email - ID and that was very good.

  Now I am recording software (he keeps asking me to do on the load), but it says that my email is not valid - although it is the email that I used here - IE my email Apple ID.

  Is it because my site http://bullion.directory using one of the many new GTLDS and older software such as items 11 do not believe that the field exists?

  If so, can I set up an OTHER ID with another email? Sounds crazy...

  Or is it possible to apply directly to the breast of my apple on adobe.com ID and cut the software altogether?

  Thank you very much!

  Is it possible to register only a product my Apple ID, online?

  # You can use the same e-mail address that you use for your apple ID, but you cannot just use the Apple password (and it would be a bad idea, if you could, for reasons of security).

• 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:

• Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

  Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

  Here's the situation.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

  I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

  Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

  Thank you in advance!

  Maybe not...

  The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

  I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

  Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

  Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

  Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

  Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

  The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

  If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.

• Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

  I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:
