My Hard Drive is Totally Crashed

Hello,
I have an HP laptop (Pavilion DV6-3020ee ) with pre installed windows 7 home prem.
duo to a Hard shock, the hard drive has been crashed. I fixed it but i lose everything.
and by say everything I mean (windows + recovery + data + partitions), it becomes a piece of metal.
I contacted Microsoft support and they forward me to HP support.
I want my laptop back to me as I bought it in the first time with (Windows + Recovery + HP software).
Please Advise.

Did you make your Recovery Disc set when you first got the laptop? You would have been prompted to make a set soon after setting the laptop up. If so boot from the first disc to reinstall back to original OS and software.
If you did not make a set give HP Support a call to see if they are still available.Select your country /region

I recently had the genius bar change my imac hard drive because it crashed. For some reason Time Machine didn't back up some of my important files. Can I get my damaged hard drive back from the genius bar to see if I can access that info?

Unfortunately, that drive is long gone, probably back to the mfr. Drives are not returned when they are exchanged. You can go by and ask them, but the chances are slim to none.

I had Itunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed

I had ITunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed. I tried to install a new copy of ITunes and it keeps looking for the ITunes that was on the one that crashed. How do I keep ITunes install package from looking for the old install.

No reason to. I always a cloned copy of my operating systems so I can reclone it back in case the the one I use dies.

What are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air

what are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air?

"Memory" in this case means RAM, the working space for the processor in the iPad. It is different from storage space, the latter being what is referred to by the "32GB", "64GB" etc. specification.
Regards.

The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for 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 purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I am unable to erase hard drive after a crash, also cannot reinstall Lion because disk is locked. There seems to be nothing else to do, suggestions? Where do I go from here?

I downloaded Lion 100 days ago (conveniently after the 90 day tech support) now my HDD has crashed and it gets stuck at the apple screen. I then hold command R and go to disc utility try to repair, that doesn't work, and try to erase. But it says error, cannot unmount disk. I then try to reload Lion, but it says the disk is locked. Okay, so do I need a new hard drive? If so that's fine, I just cannot seem to erase this drive to reinstall lion. Also, I don't have a disk to reinstall OSx, as Lion is done via internet.

Wow, thanks. It did the trick. So now I am confused, do you think I still need to take in my Mac to see if there are some problems with the hard drive, or do you think I'm in the clear. I was going to get a new hard drive installed, because I thought that was the issue seeing as I couldn't access it during safe mode.

My recent iTunes purchases are not on my external hard drive (my pc crashed) can I get these purchases recovered?

My PC (aka POS***) crashed and I knew it was going to happen sooner rather than later, so I backed up my music onto an external hard drive. I failed to back up my music regularly and I have lost a month's worth of purchases. Is there any way to get the past month's purchases restored into my library, since they are in my purchase history? If so, how?

Reformatting External Hard drive: Disk Utility crashes near the end

I recently updated to Leopard and emptied off my external hard drive and then wanted to (zero out data &) reformat it and start fresh so as to use it with the new Time Machine feature.
However, near the end of reformatting it with Disk Utility the progress just stopped and after giving it some time I did a force quit and sure enough it came to light that it had crashed. Since then I've tried again several times to the same result. I even tried doing it of the Disk Utility on the install CD and it crashed with one minute left!!
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Use a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior, or a product such as those listed here.

Hard Drive and IPod Crash at the same time

My hard drive crashed. I had some of the music backed up but not some recent itunes purchases. Also, my Ipod Mini died so I replaced it with the IPod video 30 gig version. Is there any way I can recover the music that I have already paid for? I go to check purchases and it asks for my Apple ID. My apple ID was the serial number of my dead Ipod mini, which I don't have any more and of course don't remember. How can I find out what my Apple ID was for the music I purchased? Some of those purchases are on my Ipod video so can I sink them back into my hard drive, or does Itunes overwrite everything in the Ipod? Thanks for your help.

Deauthorize CS6 Master Collection from a hard drive that has crashed

The hard drive in my MacBook Pro has crashed and I have ghotten a replacement drive and installed it.
I need to re-install my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection on the new hard drive, but I cannot activate it since it is activated on my crashed drive.
What's the best way to get this fixed? Is there a website I can visit to deauthorize the old copy so I can re-authorize the new install on my new hard drive?
Thank you for your help.
I'm running CS6 on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite OS X 10.10.

You need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (you are allowed to have two machines with activated installations).

Hard drive for mini crashed

I have a mini (4 gen) it lasted for just over a year and then all of a sudden got the sad ipod icon with the support email on it, it wouldnt charge, computer wouldnt recognise it, it did nothing, i took it into an Apple approved repair place and they told me the hard drive had crashed and they couldnt fix so i stopped using it, 6 months later ive charged it up to sell it for parts and its now orking, its got no bass and the battery only lasts a day at the most, what happened here???

Something you could try that has solved many of my problems is the "built in diognists" mode. to access this restart your i-pod when the apple logo pops up hold the "back and select" buttons untill you see a screen come up saying "diognists mode" run all the tests untill you get to the backlight test. all the tests include making sure the click wheel works, the headphones work, the buttons work and the hold switch works and so forth there are about 7-10 of them. when you get to the backlight test you will have to restart your i-pod. if this does not help you and you still have the warenty my advice is to send it in. These steps should whip it into shape it has worked for me and mabey for you. but the bad news is you will need a replacement battery. But the harddrive should work if you do this

Hard Drive Renamed, Aperture Crashes

I recently noticed that the portable hard drive that I use to store my referenced photos in Aperture has been renamed to "20070605034" in the Manage Referenced Files volumes list (the actual hard drive name has not been renamed). Now, all of my referenced files stored on this drive need to be relinked.
The problem is that when I try to manage the referenced files and click on the "20070605034" volume in the list, Aperture crashes. I really don't want to have to re-import all my photos again, sort them, and apply adjustments. Has anyone had this same type of problem? Any recommendations on how to easily fix the volume reference?

You probably had the drive selected and inadvertently changed the name. Just select the drive and click once to activate the name then change it to what it was - usually Macintosh HD.

Whenever I do something which engages my Hard Drive, my Macbook crashes!

I don't know if it is related, but I have recently backed up my Macbook using Time Machine, on an external hard drive which is Time Machine compatible. But a day or so after, whenever I open something which engages the Hard Drive, I get the pinwheel of death. The Internet is the only thing I can seem to open. I can't Spotlight anything, when I try and open iTunes it crashes.
Time Machine has been working absolutely fine, and all back ups went smoothly and the Time Machine interface thing has been working fine.
I had ordered a new internal hard drive prior to these problems, but until that arrives, my laptop is basically un-useable.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all? Its driving me mad!

The first thing I'd suggest is that you boot your computer with the System Restore disk that came with the computer and run the Disk Utility repair. Check out the S.M.A.R.T. report and see if there was any disk damage not repaired. Your problem does sound like it could be a bad drive.
OK cool thankyou. I was going to try that, but I was just wondering if there was anything I could do before trying that. Just so annoying that I can't check the Disk Utility now because I can't seem to access anything.

Maxtor Mini External Hard Drive slows or crashes my macbook

I recently bought a Maxtor Mini external hard drive since I work with a number of large files, mostly CS3. Anytime I plug in my external hard drive, my computer slows down (trying to save a jpg, takes 15 minutes, copying a 20MB file from the external to the internal hard drive takes around 20 minutes). Anytime I open ANY application on the macbook, while the Maxtor is plugged in, the macbook crashes.
When I bought the Maxtor, I formatted it for my Mac, with the CD that came with the external hard drive.
Any suggestions?!
thanks!

You shouldn't need any CD provided by the manufacturer to format the drive. I can't see any particular format type causing that problem though. If you don't have anything you need on the drive now... try formatting it using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
http://www.larryjordan.biz/assets/articleimages/lj_journal01.jpg
Try that first and see what happens. Like I said... I don't really see any particular format causing the problem you are having... but since we don't know what the CD you used did, it's best to start clean.
Do you know if you actually installed anything on your computer from the CD?
