Touchsmart IQ524 hard drive crashed. Ran Recovery CDs and I get an error Windows can not install on

I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model. I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process. I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives. Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
Now to the workaround...
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.

After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

Lost my library in a hard drive crash...recovery??

My hard drive crashed and I had to get a new hard drive. I had my music backed up on JustCloud, but when I restore I get nothing. Can I get music I've purchased on ITunes? Going how far back? Help, I'm freaking out, I had 27 weeks of music!!!

Hi Timothy,
No one here can say what AC will or won't do, but I would be very surprised it you got a new copy of Office from them.
If you got a legal copy of Office from your college, you should have gotten a serial number or they should have a record of it; go back to them and ask about getting a new copy . . . and a set of discs.

Scratch hard drive crashed! Any recovery ideas?

So my scratch drive is a 1TB Seagate portable drive with a thunderbolt adapter. It has the raw files as well as the project files and auto-save files. I have a back up of the raw video files but not the project file. The .PRV folder for the project is still sitting here on my computer's local drive (iMac) with several .xmp and .mpgindex files in it. After a full week of editing, I finished a project, exported it. Created the custom DVD menu and was halfway through burning when I got a hardware error through Encore CS6 (Sense Code: 30c00). Tried again, gets halfway through then error. Thinking it was my computer, I copied the Encore files to the portable scratch drive (which seemed to be working fine btw at that point), ejected it and put it on my other iMac to burn from there. The drive wasn't recognized. I brought it back to the original computer and now it wasn't recogzized there either. Oh crap. The drive lights up, sounds like its working, but just doesn't show up using any of its adapters/ports (thunderbolt, usb, firewire).
I'm dealing right now with data recovery options through Seagate ($$$$) and Best Buy but in the meantime. Does having the project's PRV folder do me any good? Again, I have a back up of the raw video files...I just need the Premiere Project file. On my way to Best Buy now to see if its the enclosure and not the drive that has issues (read somewhere that that might be the issue since it is lighting up when plugged into the computer and it is running, just not showing up).
I know it's probably a long shot, but I'm sure you all can understand what I'm feeling right now having finished a huge project. Just checking in here to see if there's some other magic way of recovering a Project File without the drive that it's stored on?
Nightmare.

Well...no replies but that's okay. It's been a whirlwind 24 hours with no luck at recovering anything off the crashed hard drive at Best Buy or via Seagate Tech Support. Just as I sat down to re-edit the project from the beginning (ugh!) after about 60-70 hours of work lost a thought hit me:
"When auto-save reaches the maximum number of copies, it starts replacing the oldest ones. Does it replace them, or write over them?"
Either way, I thought maybe it's worth looking into recovering deleted files and sure enough, I googled just that and found www.recovering-deleted-files.net ...Now this may sound like a commercial but you can imagine how floored I was to do a quick sweep of my local drive and there they were, my .prproj files waiting there for me!! Even though my original project files and auto saves were on the crashed hard drive only. A quick $99 bucks (to actually unlock the recovery part of the app (the search part is free)) and I had my project files back!!!
Now, everyone reading this may not care, but my day instantly did a 180 and I felt like sharing. Who knows maybe someone else will one day hit this thread looking for a way to recover their crashed project files. Now, what's weird is that there were like 5 different recovered project files and each one contained only one of the four original sequences and files associated with that sequence. There wasn't one single project file that had all of the sequences that I edited like the original project file did, but right now, I don't care. I had to redo a few of the image files that I had in there that I had created in PS and saved on the crashed drive but because I had the original video files, I just link/located the videos and I'm back in business...literally.
Going forward...I think I may have my auto-save folder on a different hard drive than my project files. Just in case. Also, looks like I'll be looking into a good, new fast external scratch drive for my mac. What a day.

My computer hard drive crashed and all my i-tunes were lost - can I re-load them from my iPod?

My hard drive crashed and destroyed all the i-tunes that I had burned from my CDs and purchased. The are still on my iPod Classic, can I load them on the computer, I have re-installed the i-tune program and the last purchase I made was re-installed, but nothing else. I don't want to sync my iPod, iPhone and Shuffle and lose them. What should I do?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the reloaded PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Hard drive crash... need help with i Tunes....

Hello all,
Here is the problem. A couple of weeks ago my girlfriend's hard drive crashed. I was able to pull her hard drive out and slave it to mine, in order to save her docs/pics/I-tunes. I got everything off and burned it to a couple of DVDs.
My question is how do I get those music files (the ones I recovered) back on to her new computer?
Thanks,
Jason
Windows XP
PS. Her i-Pod does have all of her music files... If that matters...

There's a program called PodUtil (http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php)-the trial works, you don't have to buy it. And you can get all of the songs/videos from your girlfriend's iPod and move it to a designated folder, once you do that, simply add folder to iTunes. Hope I helped...post questions if you have any.

Purchased music recovery due to hard drive crash

Due to the 2 hard drive crashes in the past 6 months on my MacBook Pro, I have now used up all 5 of my computers for my purchased music on iTunes.
Does anyone know if Apple will possibly allow me to register the songs back on my computer since BOTH crashes were covered as "Manufacturer Error"?

Perfect. One more question:
Do I have to have ALL my purchased music on the computer or does that matter? In other words,
I only have a portion of the purchased songs on my back up I have with me, and the rest are on a larger back up that I wont have access to for a few more months (am studying abroad), so should I wait to do this until I get the rest of them or does that matter?

My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store

Hard drive crashed. How do I get OSX on my new drive?

I think my hard drive crashed, oh my. First, let me say that all my data is backed-up on a cloud drive or on my network drive. So, I am good there. The computer is now completely inoperable, can't start up, not even in safe mode. Just goes to Apple grey screen and then shuts down, that Issa far as I can get. Does not even play the start-up chime anymore.
Question I have is this: I did not make a bootable start-up drive (dumb), so when I get a new drive to replace this, how will I get the OS on it to start- up and get the new drive ready?

If you don't get a startup chime then you may have a worse problem. Just be prepared.
What year is your MBP? From 2011 onward you would use Internet Recovery. Earlier you would need to install the original software that came with the computer on software restore DVDs.
Internet Recovery
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
            if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
DVD Installation:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
