Windows 8, asking to activate Windows after HARD SSD migration drive

I have a laptop Asus Q220e pre-installed with windows 8, and recently, I migrated my HDD to the SSD drive and installed the SSD in the laptop.  The migration went perfectly and the computer works correctly, but when I connect a screen appears that says I must activate windows.  He told one other computer is running my current product key and give me the error code: 0xC004C008. Any suggestions on hw to solve this problem? I have doe something wrong during the migration for the SSD?

You need to try phone activation:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

    Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

    Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

    More information about this new option:

    > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/activation-in-windows-10

    > http://www.winbeta.org/news/digital-entitlement-a-new-method-of-activation-in-windows-10

    Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

    If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

    Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:

    SSD upgrade will improve the time of startup and overall performance drastically than anything else. SSD boot drive is an excellent choice. Use tools of cloning the SSD manufacturer (from their website) or other free tools available, to migrate the OS.

    Download, run this tool to know the SATA HDD type:

    SSD now on the market is of SATA3 (6Gbps), it'll work in your laptop your model SATA connector to be I, II or III. They are compatible with reverse.

  • Pavilion P6-2469eo: Reinstalling windows after HARD drive crash

    Hi, I just bought a defective HP Pavilion P6 known.   After receiving and checking, it appears that the hard drive is faulty.

    The machine does not start, I have activated POST messages and now a screen message saying that 'no boot disk was detected, or the drive failed.    The DPS self test fails with code 7.

    I disabled the secure boot and can boot from a CD of Linux, so I know that, basically, the computer is still alive

    My question is, once I have comes from replacing the hard drive, I can get a copy of replacement windows to HP or do I buy one out of the copy of the Windows Tablet (or install Linux)?

    I was told that the machine is two years old and just out of warranty.

    Thank you!

    If out of warranty, you will most likely need to buy a set of HP or a partner of HP recovery disk. The good thing is that it's a reasonable price.

  • Cannot reactivate windows after attempting to migrate desktop for Mac

    Hello. My question is this. I used to use a PC, but now I have a Mac. I wanted to be able to access my old configuration, files and programs via the mac PC. I was recommended an app called "Parallel Desktop". I downloaded a demo and followed the instructions: I have "migrated" 30 gigabytes of info from my old PC to the Mac and tried to replicate my old office through a "virtual machine". Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the windows installation. It does not accept the certificate of authenticity. I tried to solve the problem by phone, but has been disconnected once (by someone claiming that their system was down) and rejected a second time (a machine who kindly directed me to this site).

    So I wanted to ask: is there a way for me to be able to 'migrate' my office like claim in parallel? Is it a hoax? Is there a problem with the certificate of authenticity I use, which never gave me any problems before?

    thanx

  • Installation of Windows 7 on SSD HP drive

    We have three HP 8300 Elite SFF machines in our headquarters. All came with Windows 7 pre-installed on the hard drives of 500 GB.

    I bought two genuine HP SSD drives (with 120 GB Intel), but cannot install Windows 7 on them because the provided installation HP discs report that the new disks are too small!

    I contacted HP about this and told me that the recovery disks only supports hard drives, initially installed on the machine, (i.e. 500 GB) or a larger size. I'd like a 960 GB SSD, but I'm not too keen on the cost!

    The obvious solution would be to buy packs of sale at retail of Windows 7, but I hesitate to buy expensive software when I already have a license.

    I had thought to resize the partition of HARD drive, less than 120 GB and copy of data across using a disk image but the facility could be optimized for a hard drive instead of the SSD, and it would probably go to default defragmentation!

    There is no work around that I could use to install Windows 7 from the restore disks original, I want to get these new discs work?

    Any advice welcome.

    Nigel.

    Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" for instructions how to install a new copy of Windows 7 on your computer by using the key of HP OEM Windows 7 SLP/SLIC of factory (not the 25-digit number on the COA), the activation OEM HP certificate factory and BIOS of the computer. Please see below for step by step instructions;

    (1) download and unzip ABR Beta with Windows 7 Support. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. Perform the 'activation' backup and save the certificates and keys retrieved in several external locations. The key and the certificate for each computer should be the same. (He gets the certificate of your factory installed OS and HP preinstalled OEM factory original key)

    (2) install Windows 7, after all the guests as needed. Don't let not Windows try to scoped. Run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Make sure that Windows is activated, repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated. (It "installs" pre-installed HP OEM factory original key and certificate from your factory installed OS to your new installation of Windows. This HP OEM key and certificate are what allows your computer to HP be factory preactivated.)

    (3) install all drivers from the computer. These can be found on the support page HP for your computer, or you can find newer drivers on the various websites of the manufacturers of component... Intel, NVidia, AMD/ATI, Ralink, Realtek, etc..

  • T61p: Install Windows XP Corsair SSD-> "no drives found".

    Lenovo T61p

    I want to install Windows XP SP3 on a new Corsair X 64 SSD. The drive is recognized in the BIOS and the BIOS diagnostic program reports also no errors.

    But the Windows installation stops with the error message "no drives found". I've already put control SATA Mode "compatibility"!

    Any ideas?

    Christian

    Hello Ford,

    Thank you very much for the detailed help. I've fiddled around with the BIOS, some settings and whoops IMO all of sudden the drive was recognized. I think that, if I remember correctly, that change has been after I disabled the quick start option.

    Eventually I could reset the compatibility mode and take advantage of the full speed. I am really impressed by the speed improvement.

    Kind regards

    Original title: Windows asking to activate again.

    I used windows 8 on my Dell Vostro 2520. A couple of weeks, I've updated to 8.1 and I had no problem with windows 8.1. But since yesterday, I started to get continuous https errors, even to https://google.com the browser said there are certificate errors (my friends using the same wifi network I use had no such problem). Chrome told me that my date is not correct. My calendar showed 10024 year and there was also a warning that the date is out of range. I tried to change the date, but I got the message that it could not be changed. So I decided to restore my windows. I chose the option that keeps your personal files and removes all software. On the update page, it has been shown that "you'll have new update to windows 8.1". But restarting does not help me. I had the same problem of https, also lost 8.1 now my pc is Windows 8. And as he asks me to activate windows... Help me

    In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
    Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

    Hello

    You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
    If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
    In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

    Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

    I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

    PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

  • Firefox crashes Windows after updating to 38

    It, I run Windows 8.1 on a laptop Lenovo Y510P SLI and after the upgrade to 38 launch of firefox blocks the BONES together. The screen freezes, the mouse or the keyboard are insensitive, but will continue to play all of the sounds in the background for a few more minutes until it stops too and the only thing I can do, it's power button to force a shutdown. I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia geforce experiencr a few days ago and the firefox 38.0.5. I tried to download the developer edition, but the situation is the same - I see a UI very distorted and if I press the menu button, the system hangs. What should I do to solve the problem?

    You can run Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any less crashy?

    If the problem not occur until you run some Flash Media, want to set the Flash Click-to-play (Ask 'activation'). This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve.

    To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you do not need to Flash, just ignore the notification.

    It is also, some standard advice that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

    (2) turn off the hardware acceleration in Flash

    Right-click the press and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off mode protected (Windows Vista and later)

    The functionality of the safe_mode of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. There is a hidden for this parameter:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    Any improvement?
