How to install Vista using product key from bottom of Satellite P200?

Hello all,
I recently had to replace my HDD as my P200 had a fatal error, corrupting all data on the old HDD. I have no recovery discs at all, (None were supplied), and wondered how i am supposed to re-install Vista using my product key from the bottom of the laptop? Can anybody give any kind of assistance please?
As i have been reading other related threads i get the impression that i need to approach Toshiba and buy a recovery CD, at my expense. Is this correct?
Thanks
Lee

Hi
As far as I know the serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unit would not work with other Vista versions! the key belongs to the OEM Vista version preinstalled by Toshiba.
As mentioned by Jeka, you will need to order an recovery disk or will need to use an clean Vista CD with an own serial key purchased previously.

  • How to get Exchange 2010 Product Keys from an existing installed servers

    hi All,
    we are facing some kind of critical issues. we had 3 MB servers . the two servers are in DAG all our productions DB's running in DAG. the DAG servers are crashed due to hardware issues. one server is acting as archival server. all servers are running exchange
    2010 sp3. 
    now we are trying to rebuild new servers to restore DB's. the new servers is prompting the product key to be entered. unfortunately we don't have product keys of exchange 2010. since we are gold partner we have partner network portal. when i tried to get
    the product key from portal am able to see only 2013 keys. we called up Microsoft and explained but no use. they said we have to use exchange 2013. but we cant simply go ahead and migrate. 
    but the only option is we have exchange 2010 installed servers they all act as CAS/HUB server with the same licence. please let me know how do i retrieve exchange 2010 product keys from an existing servers. Please advise me its very critical.
    can we get the product keys through some kind of scripts?

  • Can I use product key from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

    Hi, i have a Toshiba L505-10V and the original cds(2) with Windows 7 prenium 32-bit.
    I have downloaded windows 7 prenium 64bit from here http://www.techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
    I use the key from 32 bit but it says its not valid. Is it possible to work with the same key?
    Also i download belarc to recoginise my 32bit windows key and it shows me different key from that is on the base of my pc.

    Hi
    According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64bit Home Premium and you got 32bit version on recovery DVD.
    Both recovery versions are designed for your notebook model and both versions contain activation code so that both versions must not be activated.
    I presume you didnt create recovery disc for preinstalled Win 7 64bit version.
    You cannot use product key listed in 32bit version. If you use own Windows version you must enter valid product key that you must buy from Microsoft.

  • How do you get the product key for your new Satellite C55-B5202?

    I recently bought this new laptop and for the love of God I can't use Microsoft Office cause it keeps asking me for a product key. Please tell me how do I retrieve it! It did not come with a CD, there is no sticker at the bottom of the laptop or the box itself.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Satellite C55-B5202
    According to the spec above, you have a "1 month trial for new Office 365 customers." When the trial ends, you’ll be prompted to choose which version of Office you want to purchase.
    Microsoft Office has never been free.

  • How to retrive Exchange product key from the Installed Exchange Servers

    How do I retrieve the Product key from an existing installed exchange servers.

    Right. Think of the security implications if you could just grab the key from the software itself.
    Do any software products allow that?

  • How to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

    how to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

    Emelie,
    which plug-in do you want to install?
    some of the plug-ins come with an installer on the disk image, you click the installer and it will install it in its proper location.
    For others you move the plug-in into to System Library or your User Library:
      Your Hard disk  > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
    or
    Your Home Folder > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
    If it is an "Edit" plug-in, it goes into the "Edit" subfolder, "Export" plug-ins into the "Export" subfolder.
    You can tell by the extension, what kind of plug-in it is.
    E.G. BorderFX.ApertureExport is an export plug-in, BorderFXEditPlugin.ApertureEdit an edit plug-in.
    Regards

    P.S. In OS Lion the Libraries are hidden by default: To reveal your User Library activate the Finder and select from the main Finder menu:
        Finder >  Go , then hold down the ⌥-option-key, untill the Library appears in the drop.down menu.
    To show the System Library:
         Finder >  Go > Go to Folder
    then enter   / Library

  • Download using a product key from a purchased product from the store.

    I purchased the Adobe elements to use on my desktop. I downloaded it and it is installed however I just purchased MacBook Air and I want to install the program onto this computer. This computer does not have a disk drive. I was told that I should be able to download most programs an use the product key from the box however I do not see that option for the Adobe Elements. I downloaded the trial version in hopes of being able to convert it using my product key. Does anyone have any words of wisdom that will help me to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Serialnumbers of Elements 11 (PSE/PRE) are platform independent and support  upto 2 activations per serial number.
    So, if you're using the license on your desktop (win), you can still use the same serial key on your mac machine. Please install the trial version and on launch you'd get a prompt to enter your serial number or continue in trial. Please provide your serial number there and complete the wizrds by clicking next and here you go, your elements product on mac is licensed too.
    thanks

  • Possible to obtain Windows 7 product key from Lenovo for downgrade from Windows 8.1?

    Hi all. I have searched all over these forums and haven't found the answer to my question, so I figured I'd just ask it.  
    I purchased an Ideapad Y580 with Windows 8 pre-installed.  Hated it from the get go. Upgraded to Windows 8.1, and still don't like.  But, now, I am having a ton of bug-y issues. Although I've managed to fix most, they have become increasingly annoying. The latest is that upon upgrading to Windows 8.1, my USB ports stopped working...except they sometimes work, some of the time, but never all of the time. Drivers are up to date, and every diagnostic test I have run passes. Surfing the net, it sounds like this is a common issue with windows 8.1.
    I was speaking with my firm's IT company and was told that they have had the exact same issues with numerous clients. (As an aside, they universally place lenovo products in their client's hands). It has gotten so bad that they do not provide windows 8/8.1 on any of the machines they prepare for their clients. 
    Last week, I was speaking to the IT company's local rep who was performing some server maintenance for us, and he indicated that if you purchased a laptop pre-installed with windows 8 and didn't like it, you could obtain a windows 7 product key from the manufacturer and downgrade to windows 7. Is that accurate? if so, how do I make that happen? 

    Too be honest I suggest you do not downgrade unless you have to use software in your company that does not work on Windows 7.
    Get started reading Windows 8 guides, and you will notice Windows 8 is a lot better after you have read all the guides:

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Formication : How to install and use it

    Hi,
    I need some help. I would like to install and use the Formication CGI but I don't find any documentation usable for someone who never installed any CGI
    Does someone use it and can teach me how to install and use it ? Or maybe there is a documentation somewhere ?
    Thanks for any help

    >I thought it was something well known here.
    I'd never heard of it before.
    Find here the message from the Mac OS X Server Mailing list where I found it.
    Hi all..
    We are currently moving: from WebStar / Lasso 6.x / FMS 5.5 to
    Mac OSX Server / Apache / Lasso.850 / FMSA 8.
    On our WebStar webserver we used FlexMail to handle e-mails sent from a
    html-form, unless we wanted databases/Lasso to get involved.
    I understand FlexMail cannot be used on Apache so I have been looking around
    and searched the list for any tool to do the same job.
    --> What tool to send e-mails directly from web-forms
    with a reasonable option to format the e-mail and
    generate a response page.
    Henning, most of the people that transition from WebSTAR to iTools Apache use Formication.
    Formication is a Perl version of Flexmail, so it has all the features of Flexmail, plus more. It was designed by one of the developers of the original Flexmail.
    When you convert from WebSTAR to Apache you can keep your script intact.
    With iTools, all you need to do is to add the action:
    Flexmail /cgi-bin/formication.pl
    and the .flx handler,
    and the scripts run unchanged.
    >I also found that there is an invisible file
    inside. It's a .htaccess file
    I'd totally missed that, and it's likely to be the
    critical link.
    yes... I supposed it was something important but.... well hidden...
    By default, as shipped by Apple, .htaccess files are
    ignored. You need to explicity enable then in
    /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
    Both 'Action' and 'AddHandler' (the two directives in
    the .htaccess file) require FileInfo override for the
    directory. Therefore, at the very least you need to
    add:
    <pre class=command><Directory /path/to/your/form>
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Directory></pre>
    to your httpd.conf so that apache will read the
    .htacess file.
    Alternatively, since you have to edit httpd.conf
    anyway, you might just want to add those directives
    to the <Directory> block, which will save Apache
    having to read the file each time the form is used.
    Thanks a lot Camelot,

    How to install and use the Khmer unicode Khmer MEF1 and Khmer MEF2?
    from www.mef.gov.kh in the bottom of the page, you can get the unicode for the ms office

    I think that stuff is for windows, a waste of time trying to use it on a Mac.
    There is no need to download anything for Khmer on a Mac.  Apple provides Khmer fonts and keuyboards with OS X.

  • I ordered Office 2011 with my MBA, but only the trial version came installed - and no product key was ever emailed to me or included in the shipment. Three calls each to Apple and Microsoft have not solved this.

    I ordered Microsoft Office 2011 with my Macbook Air, but only the trial version came installed - and no product key for the full version was ever emailed to me or included in the shipment. Three calls each to Apple and Microsoft have not solved this and I am at wit's end. Each company blames it on the other - I don't care whose fault it is, I just want the product key so I can use Microsoft Office!  Please help.

    You should have received a DVD in the box (with the MBA).

    how much data is used uploading photos from element 12 to adobe revel

    Rixonruss,
    The size of your photos and videos you mark in Elements for upload depicts how much data is being uploaded. However for download, only small size previews get downloaded first unless you download the originals from Elements whenever needed in any Elements workflows.

  • How to retrieve Microsoft Office Product Key  for Mac

    Hi there, Hopefully someone might have a suggestion on how to retrieve the Microsoft Office Product Key for Office 2010 on Mac.
    Scenario:  Last month, Apple advised me my iMac hard drive may be faulty and would need replacing.  That was done, I restored my iMac from Timeline backup and everything is dandy except I need the Product Key for Office to access any of my documents.  I purchased the product online in my old job, that email address is now no longer valid and I have lost access to the email that the product key was emailed to me in.  I am unable to retrieve the product key from Microsoft without buying a new copy.
    I do have Office uploaded on my Macbook Air from the same download/product key, so I have access to the program on the laptop but not the iMac.  Hopefully I can get the product key from the laptop somehow.
    Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks :-)

    As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

    Hi
    Sounds like that you didnt understand how the Toshiba recovery procedure works. Normally you have two partitions on the HDD after you start it the first time. On the second partition there is a folder called HDDrecovery. This folder contains an image of factory settings and you can start this installation if you go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer.
    But this is only possible if the preinstalled OS is still installed. If you install another OS like XP, you can only use the Toshiba recovery disk.
    So Dr.Lamp is right, in your case you can only restore the factory settings using Toshiba recovery disk.
    I hope I could help you a little bit.
