• Upgrade to Windows 8, but I need to install a new hard drive first

  Hello

  I'll be upgrading my laptop's current (under Windows 7 Pro) to Windows 8 Pro for $40 on October 26. Before you install Windows 8, I'm going to install a new hard drive in my computer. I need some help on how I can do this...

  Is it possible for me to install the new drive hard while I am upgrading. I plan to do a clean install anything. If so, how should I go to?

  Thank you very much for your answer.

  Mike

  Create the backup of the image that your computer is now (with Windows 7) before installing Windows 8. If anything should go wrong then just restore Windows 7.

  I would like to disconnect the LAN cable and any other unnecessary internal or external device before the upgrade. If all goes well then connect the local network and activate Windows 8.

• Using Recovery Manager on a Netbook with a new hard drive

  I have the HP Mini 110-3015DX netbook under Windows 7 Home Premium.  It has been upgraded to Windows 7 Starter Edition.  It comes preinstalled with a 160 GB hard drive.

  Not too long ago, I cloned the original to a new hard drive to 500 GB hard drive and switched them.  The netbook boots fine, and all of my programs seem to work as well as before... except one: Recovery Manager.  Now, I can not format my hard drive and reinstall the operating system and drivers.

  When I chose a recovery using Recovery Manager plan, the computer restarts as normal, but instead of see more menu options, I get a message on the new hardware detected, as well as a request to contact a network administrator or something like that.  However, I am unable to continue with the format and have to restart in Windows.

  Question: is it possible to use Recovery Manager on a netbook when you change hard drives?  If so, how?

  The Recovery Manager appears when I press the F11 key at startup to the top.

  Indeed, since the display of my original message, I tried a USB flash drive recovery option.  Everything seemed to go very well, that the recovery process has been done, when suddenly a message popped up saying the installation was incomplete, is nearly 90%.  I was asked to choose two options, which none have been identified.  So I turned off the netbook, waited a bit and turned it back.  I was then able to complete the initial installation of Windows 7, where they ask you in the name of the computer, choose your region and type your network password... etc...

  Once more, I thought that everything would be alright.  I then clicked on the icon of the computer and noticed that the size of my hard drive had been reduced from 500 GB to about 60 GB or more!  I tried to use a program 3rd party to recover the huge no allocated space, but it did not work.

  I've been working on this problem for hours, doing research, try the different options, but nothing works.  I give up.  However, I appreciate your response.  Thank you.

• Can I reinstall Windows Vista professional, a recovery disc on a new hard drive for my 6820 s?

  I am selling my old laptop HP 6820 s to put the money to another and the main problem is that the original hard disk having bad sectors that prevent me from reinstalling Windows Vista Professional using the recovery disk. I was wondering if I bought a new hard drive of the same size and type, I was able to reinstall Windows Vista Business on it, especially since I still have the original key on the laptop itself.

  If the hd meets the specification, you should be able to install using the recovery discs.

  Hi, I upgraded from 100 gig 250 gig drive hard nice clean installation, worked perfect.

Put old drive in, everything works fine and in disk management the new shows drive but are not accessible? Anyone got a clue?

  Now I found the answer to my problem. Acer Aspire9802 WKMI recovery allows only 32 GB max loading mbr, therefore partitioned readers with a free majorgeeks.com partitioner and ye he

  The free program, I called EASUS PARTITION MASTER, dead easy to use for a novice like me! and with an instruction book complete in pdf format

• Satellite Pro L650: Windows could not complete the installation on the new HARD drive

  At the present time, I have a 500 GB HARD drive installed. As soon as I got it, I did a recovery on 3 DVD media.

  I just tried to replace the HARD drive with a 1 to one. All copied OK and after dvd 3 that I was told to release the dvd. I did this and the computer turns off. I turned it on and it started to (don't remember the exact words used) set the drivers.

  However I have now received the message that "Windows cannot complete installation" and telling me to reinstall. I did it, but after the steps above have repeated the same message appears.

  Pls help.

  I don't see why my computer should be limited to a 500 GB HARD drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The computer is NOT limited to 500 GB HARD drive
  You can use more big 500 GB hard drives. You have confirmed that the laptop supports 1 TB HARD drive and the system recognizes the 1 TB HARD drive.

  The problem could be the use of the recovery diskette. Why?
  Because the recovery disk creates the same partitions that were available on the 500 GB HARD drive. This could create problems of system due to the large size of HARD drive.

  Solutions?
  Well, I think that you could install the system by using the clean installation of Microsoft Windows disk.
  Missing other drivers or tools can be downloaded from Toshiba page.

• 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?

• Reinstalling Windows 7 on a new hard drive

  I can't find an answer to this question anywhere.

  I own a Sony Vaio VPCL116FX running Windows 7. A few days before, without warning, a window opens, informing me that the failure of the hard drive was imminent and do a disk backup and restore immediately, so I saved all on an external hard drive. OS as Windows Image Backup. So I bought a new hard drive, installed and am ready to reinstall all my work on the new hard drive. I went into the bios and boot priority changed external hard drive, but not joy. It shouldn't be so difficult that it is becoming.

  Because the computer is delivered with no recovery disc, the outside is all I have to work with. Sony there is no help, Vaio has been sold, and the only suggestion I can get from Microsoft is to contact one of the two manufacturers above.

  Is there something I need to do other than the steps that I already tried to engage?

  Thank you.

  You can do a system repair disk on any computer as long as it has the same number of bits as yours (32 or 64) and Win7

  You will need to a blank recordable CD or DVD.  Start, all programs, Maintenance

  It takes 5 minutes

  Now start your computer with this disk and you will find your way to restore from an image.

• Loading Windows 7 on new hard drive

  Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba laptop comes with windows 8.  I had to put a new hard drive in it and want to install windows 7 on it.  I have a new installation for windows 7 ult oem that has never been used.  It starts to load windows files and past on the screen "Starting Windows" and after about 3 seconds freezes and stops.  Anyone has an idea about what is up... do I have a bad drive oem?

  Please help, thanks

  John

  If it came with Windows 8, there probably secure boot enabled in the BIOS. Try disabling Secure Boot first, and then try reinstalling.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• 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.

• New hard drive. Do I need windows disk?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and recently the hard drive has failed...

  It was running windows 7 home basic 64-bit and did not come with recovery disks.

  im going to buy a new hard drive to replace soon and I was wondering what discs do I have to get my system running again?

  A member of the family has the same exact computer and I made a recovery disk of the Panel out of it. can I use this disc to install windows or anything? I don't really want to buy hp disc because I don't want any additional programs but if I wrong choose on a windows disk $7,100.

  Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

  You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...

• Acer recovery disks do not install Windows 7 on a new hard drive SSD

  Hi all!

  I have Ace Aspire 5742 G laptop and I have problems to install the Windows 7 operating system on my new hard drive SSD (I bought the SSD because the original hard drive is defect and do all the time... blue screens)

  For the factory restore, I use the restore disks. I burned the discs a few years back when the laptop has insisted me to do (using eRecovery or something, in total 3 dvds).

  Testing of computer to install the operating system with the DVD (asked to insert a dvd and then press a key). The real problem is that the installer will just in loops, restart and eventuallyfreezing in the end...

  Restart--> Acer--> Windows logo takes over... files-> from windows-> reboot-> etc.

  Which continued for more than an hour (on the first dvd!) and all of a sudden that it froze right on screen "starting windows..." I had to restart and stars on again once.

  I can still use my old formatted HARD drive, should I do the new set of recovery disks or use a USB?

  Thanks for the answers in advance!

  I was not able to edit my previous post, so I'll make a new...

  So I thought (with the help of Google) that the problem was that I had installed the new DDR3 memory game. When I changed them back to the original ones (2x2gb) everything worked smoothly.

  anyway. Thanks for the help!
