How do I replace a corrupt harddisk on a Compaq CQ62 (Windows 7)- Serial #CNF0502FOP

Hi, I had to replace my hard disk and I am struggling to know what to do. I did create a system repair disk but I do not have a system image disk.
I am running windows 7 which came preinstalled on the computer. I do not have any windows installation disks since the laptop did not come with any.
I have downloaded the drivers for the new hard drive (via another computer).
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have another identical laptop which I can use to use the HP assistant or email/blog.
Thanks

Thanks . I have a disk I created before the hard disk failed called Windows Repair Disk 64 bit.
When I use it I get a screen which says "Stytem Recovery Options"
a) use recovery tools (if your OS is not listed - install drivers for your hard disk"
b) restore using a system image
I do not have a sytem image. Nor does any OS appear in the selectable list. I am running OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. - I am wondering why I can not see the any OS in the list.
When I select "load drivers" i get  aprimative looking windows explorer which can see X: drive which seems to be full of all sorts of goodies. I just don know where to find drivers. Western Digital's web site says "No need for drivers' refer manufacturer.
It sounds like I am so close yet so far. Can any one help?
Regards
John

  • How do I replace my internal hard drive and not lose windows partition?

    Hello,
    I am wanting to swap my internal hard drive out for a larger one. What do I do about my windows partition? I only use boot camp, and there is some stuff on my windows side I don't want to lose. I know how to make a clone for OSX, and I know how to replace the actual hard drive, it's just the windows that I am a little sketchy on.
    Thanks for your help.

    WinClone - check the faq and forum for tips and read the docs
    http://www.twocanoes.com
    Pull your hard drive and put it in external case, OWC sells such kits, you could probably use a good windows clone program too.
    but you need room on an (external) hard drive to hold the Windows image (uses a sparse disk image file is all).
    Paragon Software has been busy releasing programs and updates to help Mac users running Windows, using NTFS (and EXT2/3), as well as CampTune (free for now) for resizing Windows or linux boot camp partitions.

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

  • How do I replace Admin account with transferred account?

    Just setup my new Imac. Used migration assistant to transfer via firewire my existing account from my Macbook. The transferred account shows up on my new Imac in accounts under "other accounts".
    HOW do I replace my Main User Account with my newly transferred Macbook account as I don't want both accounts; just the one I transferred to serve as the main account? The option to delete the main account in system preferences > accounts is greyed out.
    Thx.

    For new Macs, I usually try to quit the setup assistant as soon as it will let me.
    I define an initial account that has no personal information, and a user called "Master", or "Administrator", or something similar.
    This account is then the bare bones original account as set up by OSX, and I never change it.
    In this way, if an account becomes corrupt, I can always go back to this clean, unaltered account, and delete old (or add new) administrative accounts as necessary.
    This would work for your condition as well. Just keep the new imported account as your main user, and the original account setup when the machine was new becomes your "backup" Master.

  • Harddisk crashed, replace a new harddisk, where can i get OS ?

    Hi,
    My Macbook have harddisk fault, and I replace a new harddisk by myself.
    But, I have a question that where can I get the OS to install to the new harddisk ?
    Unfortunately, I don't have any backup of my old harddisk before it crash, Any one know that where can i download the OS for my new harddisk ?
    Many Thanks.

    You can't download the Mac OS. You'll need to buy the 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk. They're $29 USD in the United States.
    Once you have it put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility. You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I understood what are you trying to do. But you can modify your table in a backing bean code. JSF page code for a table:
    <af:table id="product_search_results_tbl" binding="#{backingBean.boundTable}" ... />
    And a backing bean code:
    import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
    public class YourBackingBean {
        private CoreTable boundTable;
        public void setBoundTable(CoreTable boundTable) {
            this.boundTable = boundTable;
        public CoreTable getBoundTable() {
            return boundTable;
       public String insertButtonAction() {
          // Bind your button action to this method and modify here your bound table
         return null;
    {code}
    Look for column modification methods in a CoreTable class documentation.

  • How can I replace an administrators account?

    I have an older Powerbook G4 laptop that someone else would like. How can I replace the adminsitrator's account?

    Hi Bob,
    2 ways to go...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.
