My G62-340US, I just had to replace the hard drive. My recovery discs seem compromised. HELP

On my G62-340US, I just had to replace the hard drive. I made the 4 recovery discs when it was new. Now restoring it 3 of the recovery discs ran but the 4th disc won't. Can the info on the 4th be found anywhere without having to buy a new set? Or can I buy just one disc?
This question was solved.

Hi:
As far as I know, you would have to buy an entire new set.
But, if you can read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook, I have a free solution to install a plain version of W7 by using the product key code on your notebook.
Here's how to do that...
Download the W7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO file from the Microsoft link below.
http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso 2147483647 X17-58997.iso Windows 7 Home Premium x64 English
Make sure you got the whole 3.xx GB file to download because in rare circumstances, you get a download complete notification but you don't get the whole file to download.
After you download the ISO file you can burn it to a DVD using the ISO file burn option on your DVD burning program, or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or 4 GB USB flash drive.
The tool will also make the media bootable.

Then go to your notebook's support and driver page for the drivers and available software you need.

I just had to replace the hard drive on my presario cq62 laptop it is less than 2 years old

My hard drive on my Presario CQ62 laptop running windows 7 failed .I replaced it with the exact same one. It rebooted and ran then all of a sudden it will crash and say there is no hard drive. Then I can turn it off again and most often it will reboot windows and work for a while then it will crash again and say there is no hard drive .I used the recovery DVDs I Made when I first bought this computer. They seemed to install fine what is the deal!!

Hi,
In this case I would check and reseat (not reset) the HDD first. Most likely due to hardware and the pins may not contact properly.
Good luck.

You can redownload your iTunes store purchases, but you'll need a backup to recover the playlists.

make sure you're using the adobe cleaner, not crap cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
copy the installation files to a desktop folder and install from there.

Upon transferring to the cloud, all my previous mail says it entered my box on the same date, except for today and yesterday. Everything else says it came in on the same date on which I had to replace the hard drive 3 years ago. Totally stumped. It didn't do this on my mac...only when I moved. I have bad feelings about being to fix this...Any suggestions?

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

I just had to replace my hard drive. I want to know how to re-download my Lightroom 5.0. I have my serial number and everything. Please help me!!

So, this past week I had a lot of problems with my computer and had to replace my hard drive. Doing so, meant that I lost all my files, pictures, Word, Power Point, and Lightroom 5.0 which I just got in December. Right now, I just am downloading the Cloud, and it says that Lightroom is downloading. I hope that it will be on my computer and all good but Im really not sure if I'm doing the right thing. I tried calling customer service TWICE yesterday, got put on hold both times, once for 25 minutes the other for 32 minutes. I was dumb. BUT if you are able to help me get Lightroom back on to my computer that would be wonderful. If I am already on the right path and just have to wait for it to finish downloading that woohoo!!
Thanks,
December Emilie

I have just had to replace my hard drive on my mac book pro and can now not sync my iphone which contains all my information onto the new drive, any ideas?

I had to replace my hard drive on my mac book pro as it had died. Since getting laptop repaired I have been trying to sync my iphone with the new hard drive but it will not allow me to do this without first wanting to wipe the phone clean and put info on the hard drive onto the phone, of course there is no info on the hard drive at all. Any help will be greatly recieved.

Invalid b-tree node and the disk can't be repaired. Is it worth the reformat or is the hard drive trashed? This is a Mac mini, I've had it since 2010 and already had to replace the hard drive once.

Swapped out the monitor on my Mac mini tonight and it wouldn't start back up. Managed to boot off the install disk and run disk utility, which gave the invalid b tree node error. Wasn't able to repair the disk, suggested a reformat. Is this worth my time? Or is the disk toasted? I got it in 2010, it's out of warranty and has already had the hard drive replaced once. Thanks!

If you want to save the data from the drive, Phoenix might be able to copy (clone) it off on another volume. You can check it out at:
http://scsc-online.com/Phoenix.html
Phoenix does a file copying cloning, not block copy cloning, so a new index is generated on the drive when the copy is being made. If none of the files got lost, meaning just the index is screwed up, I would think this would work.
Regarding the hard drive an index problem isn't a hard drive problem. That hard drive may be in perfect working order, especially since it's fairly new.

HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer. 'Sync' doesn't do it. What do I do?

I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7. Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer. I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad). ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else. So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa. It doesn't do that anymore. So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album). What is going on?
Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
How can I download my iPad to my computer?

-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

I have an Aspire M5 laptop that I had to replace the hard drive in.

This computer is out of warranty. I actually took the computer to a business to have the hard drive replaced I also bought e-recovery discs from the acer store. It took forever to get my computer to run the discs but I finally got that done. After the message came up telling me to remove the final disc the computer continued on with some other processes that didn't ask for any action on my part. Then it came to a screen that said "Software Installation" and it hung on 12/63. I left the computer sitting over night and it is still hung there. I have no idea how to stop this installation. It has been hung on software installation since Saturday morning. This is a touch screen laptop so when it starts up it comes up on my tiles/apps screen and then you click on the desk top tile to go to the traditional desk top, well the desk top side is where it is hung. That means that everything I try to do is locked out by this software installation that is non-responsive. I have tried the Acer Recovery Management but that takes you to the desk top-which is still hung! I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

The only problem is that software installation has the desk top side locked up. When I do ctrl+alt+del and then click to end task, it takes me back to the locked up desk top.

I had to replace the hard drive in MBP but I cannot find a disc to load the OS to it? How do I do this, I had to replace the hard drive in MBP but I cannot find a disc to load the OS to it? How do I do this

as the old hard drive failed completely. CAn I use my Back up copy to upload the OS to my granddaughter's HD>
I think She had the same OS! snow leopard. thought not sure if it was just Leopard only being a student guess she was strapped for cash to buy SL.
I cannot find any discs for Leopard.
I know I downloaded SL when I bought it so no disc for that.
She needs this for Uni and other stuff as she has no other form of entertainment in her rented house. No Tv or anything.;-(
I don't want to do anything illegal.
thanks

If you upgraded to SL, you did so by disk...there is no download. You have no choice but to find your original Install disk or the SL retail disk. If your backup is a Time Machine backup, you can't boot from that, but once you reinstall OS X, you can use that to restore. If you can't find your disks, you'll have to call AppleCare & get replacements, or find a retail SL disk.
