How do i use the recovery disks and backup and restore my laptop in a new HDD without losing OS lic?

I am running a HP-DV6 6090ee laptop with windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS. This problem started from last evening.
I am getting a "Smart Hard disc error" error message before boot and ater booting windows saying that my HDD is having problems and i need to backup and check the hdd.
After checking i found that i have a corrupted hdd and i am going to replace with a new one.
I need to know the following :
> How do i restore my windows license and my antivirus license in the new hdd?
> i dont currently have a OEM HP OS cd. can i use any windows 7 cd??
> at what stage should i use the recovery disk i created from the recovery partition be used? Whats its specific use?
I really appreciate any quick response as my current HDD is running out of life.
Regards
A

I'm not entirely sure what you are after here, but based on what you posted you may be looking for something like:
Select substr(JDIS.District.abbreviation,-2) ||'/'||
       substr(JDIS.District.Abbreviation, 1,1) As District_Name,
       count(case when JDIS.Warrant.Received_Date < trunc(add_months(sysdate, -3), 'q') - 365 AND
                        (JDIS.Warrant_Status_Code = 'A' Or
                        Jdis.Warrant.Close_Date >= trunc(add_months(sysdate, -3),'q'))
                  then 1 end) count1,
       count(case when JDIS.Warrant.Received_Date < trunc(add_months(sysdate,-3),'q') and
                       (JDIS.Warrant_Status_Code = 'A' Or
                        JDIS.Warrant.Received_Date <=add_months(trunc(add_months(sysdate,-3),'q')3)-1)
                  then 1 end count2,
       count(case when JDIS.Warrant.Received_Date >=trunc(add_months(sysdate,-3)'q') AND
                       (JDIS_Warrant_Status_Code = 'A' Or
                       JDIS.Warrant.Close_Date <=add-months(trunc(add_months(sysdate,-3)'q')3)-1)
                  then 1 end) count3

Hi,
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f11 as you start to access Recovery Manager which you can then use to reinstall the Operating System.

GT60 - Can I break RAID0 and then use the Recovery disks?

Is it possible to break the RAID0 and then use the recovery disks from MSI Burn Recovery or a Windows Home Premium Disk with the code from the sticker on my laptop, to install back to factory settings without the RAID0? Just want to make sure before I do something drastic. Thank you.

you can always make an system image of your current windows on an external drive and then experiment with it and if anything breaks, just change bios settings to older ones and recover your older system, everything will be intact like nothing ever happened.

Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
I expect your support...
thank you very much...

> how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.

How to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IN MAC MINI

how to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IF MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOEST NOT WORK DURING BOOTING ?

Hello:
If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.

Satellite L500-19X - Can't use the recovery disk

Well I got this laptop two days ago and used it once after installing fire fox and my mobile broadband drvier's and going back home to boot up and find it was going to happen,
I had tried safe mode (all three) and repair and all I got was a black screen with the cursor up where there should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disk that came along with the laptop) so anyway after finding out I wasnt going to be able to repair it I tried to install but of course that didn't work either so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and worked perfectly fine, then I upgraded (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problems, so I tried again with the original windows 7 that came pre-installed on the laptop's hard drive and all went find untill it starts installing driver's or updates (I'm not 100% sure on this but it is at and/or after the face recognition installation,
Then it shuts it's self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start-up so I do the repair boots back up and still says I need to repair and finds nothing wrong and carrys on in that circle.
Now I have been told that it could be the register or it is a graphics problem, I myself am getting pretty fed up of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.
So if there is anyone who know's what is wrong or what to do or even if it needs to be sent back to be fixed that will be very helpful.
I thank anyone in advance.
Happy new year :)

Hi
Well, I think its really hard to say what the reason is. Maybe the recovery disk is scratchy or the files corrupt there.
At the moment I cant imagine that its a hardware problem because other Windows disk working properly.
In your case I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk and then see what happens. If it works properly and you can install all drivers & tools you should order a new recovery disk from Toshiba directly.
Bye

Using the Recovery Disk

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Model: A135-S4527. My computer has been crashing randomly, and I am looking to re-install the factory image. However, my DVD drive is broken, and thus, I cannot use the recovery disk directly. I tried to buy an external USB DVD drive, but the recovery disk does not seem to be able to work using the external DVD drive, When I try to re-install with the disk in the external DVD drive, it keeps asking me to insert a disk into the internal DVD drive (D, even though the internal drive does not work anymore. Does anyone know if there's any way I can reinstall the factory image with an external DVD drive, or other method? Thanks for the help!

The Toshiba recovery disk requires the internal CD/DVD drive. There isn't any workaround for that.
Sorry.

How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased

How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased, my uncle bought it from his old friend

Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it. Have
your uncle's friend contact his wireless provider to see if they offer unlocking
and if he qualifies. Many wireless providers require that the account be in good
standing and the iPhone be active on their network for an unlock to proceed.

Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

Hi.
I want to buy a time capsule.
I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
Is this possible?
Best wishes
Sophie

It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

Hi,
I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
I'm assuming there should be a second?
Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
Thanks

Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
> Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
This is not needed because your system was already activated.
But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

Blue Checkered Screen after using the Recovery Disks

I have a Compaq Presario SR2034NX XP Media Center computer. I followed the instructions and installed all the recovery disks. The screen then said to remove all disks and that it's going to reboot several times to finish the installation. During this process I got a blue checkered screen. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I took a picture of what the screen looks like and I'm enclosing a link to the picture here.

Thank you for your help and time!

I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
This solution worked for me:
    Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Solution:
1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

I have shot some products for my web site. I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
Why? How do you use the brush? Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
Thanks

Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

How can I use the mousewheel to scroll forward and back in Safari?

I really like Safari. As I see it, the only short coming is a feature that is present in Internet Explorer and Firefox. In both of these applications I can hold down a modifier key (CTRL) and roll the mouse wheel to go back 1 page in history. I would be really glad to know how to do this in Safari, as just about everything else I can do in IE and Firefox is in Safari. This roll back feature is one of the things I use more often than almost anything else.
Question: How can I use the mousewheel to move backward in the browser history?

Yes, I could move my hand from the mouse to keyboard to use a key combo... I could even use the delete key... but it's not really as effient as using the mouse's scrollwheel. Not that it's really all that bad, since Firefox is a great browser, but am I stuck with it if I want that one solitary additional feature?
