  • Touchsceen will not work after installing new hard drive

    Hello,
    My HP TouchSmart 520 - 1047 c PC's hard drive crashed this week.  I went out and purchased a new one, installed it, loaded my Windows 8 Pro disc in, and got it back working.  The only issue so far is that my touchscreen will not work.  HP support says it's a hardware issue and was no help. 
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Windows 7 Enterprise is not genuine after installing new hard-drive and cloning the old one

    I retired from my job as a university professor two years ago, and they let me keep my laptop computer, which is a Dell Latitude E4300 with Windows 7 Enterprise installed. I do not have any of the original disks for Windows. Recently, the hard-drive began
    to fail, so I replaced it with a new one, cloning the old hard-drive onto the new one. Soon after that, a popup window began appearing saying that this computer is not running genuine windows. One important consequence of this is that I can no longer use Windows
    Update, so I have concerns about security. If I go to the control panel under “System”, it says windows is activated and gives me the Product ID. I have talked to tech support at Microsoft, and they tell me something along the lines of the following: that
    the problem is the new hard-drive is not recognized as being licensed to use this copy of Windows, and that I should post a question on one of the forums asking this: How can I reinstall Windows 7 Enterprise on the new hard-drive? Any assistance will be much
    appreciated.
    PS I have no idea which forum this should go under, so pretty much just picked one randomly.

    Thank you for the reply. Below is the diagnostic report:

  • Help! Still get error message after installing new hard drive

    The original problem is below and thought that it would help to include it to see the initial problem.
    I went out and bought a new hard drive (500gb) and installed it in my laptop.  I went to use the restore disks and I got the same exact error mentioned below.  I used a set of disks that I copied from the original recovery disk and it still did the same.  What is the error code and how can I fix this!!
    Please help!!
    I have a Satellite A215-S7444 laptop and everytime I go to restore the drive to it's factory settings using the Toshiba recovery wizard I get the following error:  ERROR: 03-EEEE-000, AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED, PRESS [OK] TO TURN OFF COMPUTER.
    Just a note, I have used my recovery disks to restore the factory settings before with no problems at all, now I get this message.  All the files are accesible on the CD and I have no virus' on my computer.
    Lastly, the image part of the drive (The one that is like 1.5 gb) which is usually visible is not any more and has not been for a bit when you should see it when you open "My computer".  You can however see it when I go to "Administrative Tools-Computer Management."  It states that the drive is Healthy (EISA Configuration), type is basic, and there is no file system associated with the drive and there is no drive letter for it either.

    Thanks for your quick reply!  I was wondering if anyone would reply!
    I made the copies on a suggetion that the original may be scratched or something so I figured what the heck?  I did format the hard drive though.  It is a Seagate 500gb hard drive.  I only formatted the whole drive and figured that the restore disks would make the additional partition.
    Aside from that, it's the same error message that I had on the original drive.  The original drive and OS works (Vista), but I wanted to restore it because I just wanted to wipe everything and start clean.  What can be causing the error message, and what IS the error message?
    Anymore suggestions or help would be great as I am in desperate need of getting my computer back to working.
    Thanks again for replying!

  • Playlists Missing After Install New Hard Drive and Upgrade to Win 7

    My computer needed a new hard drive and I upgraded from Win Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I am trying to get my Playlists back for my iTunes in my "Administrator" user account, after reinstalling iTunes and putting my music libraries back onto my computer.
    (I had installed 32-bit Win7 OS myself, computer worked OK for about 1 day, then would not boot up; I took computer to shop, they said I needed new Hard Drive, and I gave them my new Win7 OS computer disks)
    I am confused over whether I have 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS. They recommended installing 32-bit OS, I agreed, and believed that I had 32-bit OS installed; however, Computer / System Properties state "System type: 64-bit Operating System"
    Prior to my installing Win7, I backed up the following onto my Western Digital "My Passport Essential Portable Hard Drive:"
    ("My Administrative Account"): Users / Owner / My Music
    and
    ("My User Account"): Users / Yank / My Music
    My "Administrative" and "User" user accounts contain different songs in iTunes.
    If helpful, I could describe what is in each of these 2 backed-up music folders.
    To get started, I copied both my "Owner" and "Yank" user folders in the C: User folder; however now I have "Owner," "Yank," and "Yank.Owner-Toshiba" folders in the C: User folder. I think I did this by creating a new Yank user account by creating a new account, not by my copying a folder into C: User folder. The Owner folder has a picture of a lock on the folder icon.
    Because I had trouble merging My Music folders in the Owner folder, and I was confused, I copied everything that was in the Owner folder into a new folder in the Owner folder, "NEW OWNER FOLDER." I also copied my Owner Music folder into several places in my Users / Owner folder.
    I also ended up changing the "iTunes Media folder location" several times, using iTunes "Edit / Preferences / Advanced tab / change "iTunes Media folder location". When I chose "Reset," it shows "C:\Users\Owner\NEW OWNER FOLDER\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media"
    I've also played around with "Edit / Preferences / Advanced tab / 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized' "
    When I open my iTunes, I have no playlists.
    However, when I went to my "Yank" user account and opened iTunes for the first time, the playlists associated with that account were visible.
    How do I get my playlists back on my Administrative Account, which is my main song collection and had many, many playlists?
    Thank you.

    YAY!
    I didn't try shift-start of iTunes, but I DID GET MY PLAYLISTS BACK BY FOLLOWING YOUR OTHER ADVICE:
    I went to my external hard drive, went to my backup at Users / Owner / My Music / iTunes / and searched for library.itl
    Four files with that name were found, with different dates.
    I chose the most recent, dated just a few days before I made my backup to the external hard drive.
    I copied it to my computer's hard drive into the following location:
    C:\Users\Owner\NEW OWNER FOLDER\Music\iTunes
    which overwrote the file which was located there.
    When I opened iTunes, ALL MY WONDERFUL PLAYLISTS WERE THERE!
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SOLVING THIS FOR ME!
    CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW DISAPPOINTED I FELT WHEN I BELIEVED THAT I HAD LOST ALL OF THE PLAYLISTS WHICH I HAD CREATED OVER THE YEARS? Many of my playlists were composed of whole albums whose songs I had added to iTunes.
    THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH!

  • Permissions problems after installing new hard drive

    I backed up my old hard drive with SuperDuper!, then installed a new hard drive. When I tried to install my backup on the new hard drive with Disk Utility, it would work fine and then hang. It wouldn't finish, even overnight. So I installed a clean copy of leopard on the new hard drive, and then used Migration Assistant to move everything over from my backup. Worked great, until I actually tried to use the computer. Tons of permissions issues, mail and address book wouldn't run, Skype won't run even after installing an upgraded version, etc. What's weird, is my main account is an administrator account, but logging on as root and trying to remove admin permissions from my main account, the checkbox is greyed out! I also don't have a UID 501 on the system. I'm 502, and my wife's account is 503. I can't fix permissions from the finder, and in certain cases can't get them changed in terminal logged in as root. I don't know how to get my data from my old hard drive (which is running 10.5.1) to my new hard drive (also 10.5.1) Please help me! Thanks.

    Hey Shawn,
    Have you looked at the permissions with "Get Info"? Are they listed as belonging to "unkown user"?
    First of all, see the Apple doc <href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876">Administator user changed to standard.
    After you clear that up, you'll probably have to remove the "unkown user" and add your user as the owner of all your folders. During that process, finder will probably crash. At that point, try running <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670342#5670342>this terminal command described in "mlaster's" second posting.
    Good luck!

  • Problems with external/usb after installing new hard drive

    After having a new hard drive installed (from Mac 10.5.2 to 10.6.8) I have experienced 2 problems so far:
    1. I am getting no response (from anything connected from my usb port) ie. mouse.  But plugging in the mouse directly into the mac works fine.
    2. After a few minutes, the sound from my production speakers (connected: macbook->usb cord->sound card-> production speakers) starts to skip and then no sound at all, however my soundcard is still working as I see the light is on.
    Can anyone let me know how this can be fixed?  I never had these problems before getting the new hard drive.

    try doing a PRAM/NVRAM reset.......
    that might sort out your issues.......
    good luck.....hope it works for you...

  • MacBook Pro won't start after installing new hard drive and me

    I changed the hard drive and also upgraded the memory on a mid 2010 13 inch Mac and then used the disks that came with it to reinstall the OS that came on that disk. It worked fine and installed and then the screen came on to transfer from the time machine to the new hard drive so I said yes, and it seems to work fine but then when it finished it asked me for a password. I hadn't put a password on it so that was a surprise. I tried several things but it finally only had the option to restart and when I did that it seemed like it was starting with the apple symbol and the little gear but then it went to a Gray screen with the little gear, and then seems to freeze and then finally goes to the blue screen.  The disk to reinstall is still in the drive but I can't seem to get the install to start again. I've tried holding down the c key and starting, I've tried holding down the command plus the c key and nothing....just goes to the blue screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
    If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Windows 7 won't load after installing new Hard Drive and Recovery software

    HP G72 Notebook PC
    xz218UAR
    I guess a virus crashed my hard drive so I bought a new one.  I installed the new drive and loaded the recovery disks that I also bought from HP.  Apparently Windows didn't load properly and it keeps telling me to RELOAD WINDOWS.  I've tried starting over from Disk 1 but it's not doing anything different to fix it.  
    I removed the new hard drive and reinstalled it but it's still doing the same thing.  
    What am I doing wrong and HOW DO I FIX IT?

    Hi,
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.

  • How to move files after installing new hard drive

    I am considering the installation of a new 80 or 100 GB hard drive. I purchased the new iLife 06 program but I do not have enough space to install on my present 60 GB unit. I only have 3 GB available. I've read all the posts involving the possible brands, downloaded the instructions how to swap out the units. My question is how to backup and install my files and applications so I may reinstall onto the new drive. Can I just copy my hard drive volume onto my external Lacie storage unit and then drag the volume back to the new hard drive after booting off my OS disk? Any advice on how to move my apps and files? Do I need to purchase cloning software?

    The easiest way is buy an external firewire enclosure and put your new drive in it. Then format your new drive. then use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your internal drive onto your new drive. Then install your new drive and put your old one in the enclosure. You are now in business with an external backup on your old drive.

  • Need help for installing OS after installing new hard drive

    I have an imac 27 2010.
    The hard drive has failed for the 2nd time. I have installed a new hard drive again. When trying to install the OS, it looks to begin but then tells me it can not be completed.
    I had gone the the erase, then partition steps previously.
    Any advice?
    I do have a time machine copy to restore from if I can get that far as well as the discs handy to use.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Which OS version install disk do you have? It's not Mavericks since that does not come with a disk.
    And you are trying to install Mavericks? If so, are you using the Internet Recovery Option (press Command + Option + R while restarting/rebooting)? I recently read of a case where the user was unable to reinstall the old OS (in that case Snow leopard) and he could not install Mavericks either. He took it to an Apple store and they bypassed the ID/password requirements and reinstalled it for him.

  • 2008 macbook pro beeps after installing new hard drive

    I install a new hard drive in a 2008 macbook pro and it just beeps. three quick beeps repeatedly. I cloned the new drive from my 2011 macbook pro
    Is anybody experience this same problem? please help
    thank you

    You can't reliably use the clone from one Mac on another Mac of a different vintage.  Boot off an external hard drive after installing the operating system from Apple or the original discs on the external hard drive, and use the migration assistent to import data from the internal hard drive.  You'll want to make sure the copy on the external hard drive does not excede the internal hard drive capacity by more than 85% before cloning and overwriting its contents.

  • IPhoto update after installing new hard drive

    Hi
    I've just had a new hard drive installed & Lion (10.7.5) reinstalled. However, when opening iPhoto it says I need to check with developer to make sure iPhoto (8.1.2) works with this version of OS X - It says reinstall app or install updates?
    I unfortunately cant reinstall app alone as I only have the entire Lion in my App Store & this has already been installed... ?
    I have since downloaded the latest update (9.4.3) which then said I needed (9.1) which then said I needed (9.0)... ? But 9.0 doesnt exist?
    Bit confused by all this as I had been using both the OS & version of iPhoto without any problem prior...
    Any guidance please...
    Thanks!

    If you have a RevB model B&W, you have the option of simply adding another drive, thus ending up with two hard drives.
    To identify the model you have just open the case and look at the IDE controller chip. See section 3 on this page:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/yosemite/newfeatures.html
    If you do not have a Rev B, or you really do want to replace the hard drive. this is what I would do.
    1. Remove the existing drive and install the new one in its place. Make sure the jumper on the new drive is set the same way as the jumper on the one you are replacing, viz. as "master" or "cable select". The settings for the drive jumper are shown in a diagram on the drive.
    2. Boot from your OS 9 CD, open Disk Utilities folder and run Drive Setup.
    3. Select the drive and ask DS to initialize and partition. As an example, you could partition a 60 gB drive into a 20 gB volume for OS 9 stuff and the rest for OS X.
    4. Install OS 9 in the volume you created for it.
    5. Restart the computer to verify OS is working.
    6. Install OS X on the other partition.
    Once the drive is partitioned and both OS are installed, you can install or copy other stuff to either partition.
    Good luck.

  • Windows setup error after installing new hard drive

    My hard drive failed. After installing the new hard drive and running the recovery disks, I get an error that says windows setup could not configure windows to run on this hardware. The new HD is basically the same as the one originally in my HP Touchsmart
    600-1155 PC. 

    Hi Hpygram,
    Please share more details about this issue.
    1. What option did you choose when you use the recovery disks?
    2. Did you perform the clean installation?
    If you meet this error message when you  perform the clean installation, please refer to the following KB for more details.
        “Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware” installation error on a Windows 7-based or a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753
    • Check if the hard drive you are installing to is an "Advanced Format" disk.
    • Check your setuperr.log and setupact.log to see if the error are related to your drivers.
