Windows 7 Home Premium install disks?

OK, so I've had my K330B system since before Christmas and I just realised that I didn't burn the system recovery disk when the system was new. Now, when I attempt to make a system recovery disk using the Lenovo process and it says I need 30+ DVD disks to do so. It will not let me make just an OS recovery disk. It's everything on the system or nothing. I understand that a copy of the OS is stored on a service partition on the hard drive and the system can presumably be restored to its original factory state from the data on that service partition. But what if that drive fails? So I thought I'd just call Lenovo and buy the factory OS install disks that used to come with all new PCs.
I've tried twice now to call Lenovo at 877-453-6686 and have them direct me to someone who can sell me the OS restore disks. Both times, after about a 30-45 minute talk-hold-talk-hold process where they take my name, rank and serial number, it boils down to Lenovo Premium Support has to call me back. BUT THEY NEVER DO!!!!!
Sorry for the all-caps, but this is getting ridiculous. Can anyone tell me the magic incantations required to get the factory Windows 7 Home Premium OS install disks?

As we know, Lenovo do not provide recovery discs or Genuine Operating System disc with any system which is pre-installed with any Operating System. Lenovo recommend the user to create recovery disc by there own. If you are unable to create recovery discs then please check the below mentioned video web link to know the procedure to create recovery disc and re-check the same.

If you are performing same steps and still unable to create recovery disc then Kindly perform OneKey rescue and then try to make recovery discs. If the issue remain same then please call on 1-800-426-7378 and ask for nearest service centre or visit the below mentioned web link to locate the nearest service centre.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?

I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK

Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

It always Bootcamp asistent 4 doesn't recognize Windows 7 Home Premium install disc

Hi there,
I've search half a day for answers in already existing threads but haven't found a solution, so now I dare ask this question.
I have a Imac Mac OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2,7 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory RAM 4GB 1333 MHs DDR3
I want to install with Bootcamp (version 4) Windows 7 Home Premium but after have tried numerous times Boot camp says that it cannot find the installation disc. I downloaded an ISO version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit from the website http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/boot-disks.html#full
and burned it on DVD-RW 4.7GB (TX). I also tried various other versions which I burned but with the same result. I wonder it's the type of DVD I use or the versions. Bootcamp doesn't accept burned installation discs?
If somebody can help me I would be thankful
greetings
Guy

Unfortunately, you can't buy just a key. Well, large organizations can get site license codes, or multiple individual codes so they aren't buying hundreds of boxes of media when you only need one, or a few for distribution. If you were able to get a working disk put together from the download, you'll only be able to get a short way into the installer, and then you'll be stuck.
The only other way to legitimately purchase a key is if you already own a legal copy of the OS, and just want another key so you can install Windows on another computer without buying another box. For that, you contact Microsoft where they can verify the key you already have (you read it to them, of course), and they will then sell you another key.
The sure way to have it work of course is to buy a copy of Win 7. It has to be a full retail copy, not an upgrade box. There is a way to use an upgrade disk, but you also must have a legitimate previous version the Win 7 installer can see. Meaning, you need two DVD drives. I did find a few sites selling just activation keys, but they were of course all illegal as the sites had nothing to do with Microsoft.
1) When looking for Win 7, be very careful on eBay. Purchase only an unopened box. Otherwise, chances are high the key has already been used by someone else.
2) There are system builder versions, such as you see listed here. Those are OEM disks that were supposed to be bundled with the sale of a particular PC model. Microsoft themselves say you can purchase these OEM disks and use them, but they are a one time installation. Once the key has been used, it is tied to that specific hardware. So if you were to get a new Mac and wanted to install Win 7 again, you wouldn't be able to from that disk. You can find these all over the place ranging from $85 to $95.
Be forewarned that full retail (non system builder OEM copies) of Win 7 have gotten very pricey.

Buy a Toshiba Vista Home Premium recovery disk, or buy Windows 7?

I just bought a used Satellite L355D-S7810, but without any of the original disks. The laptop originally had Vista Home Premium 32 bit (and it has the COA sticker for it). I won't go into a long story. Suffice it to say I had to wipe the hard drive. I installed XP because I already had the software, but trying to get all the drivers has turned into a real pain. So, I am considering two options:
1. Order a Toshiba recovery disc so I can "recover" back to Vista home Premium (32 bit). Cost: ~$30
2. Buy Windows 7 (64-bit). Cost: ~$180 (For a full version)
Cost-wise, it's a no-brainer. However, I've never used Vista or "7". Seems I've heard a lot of complaints about Vista. Which is easier to work with? Or, I should ask, which would give the best performance on my Toshiba laptop?
Thanks

Jerry,
Thanks for replying. I worked on the XP install for hours! After I got the NIC driver installed, I was able to download most of the other device drivers through the Windows Update web site, and things were going pretty well until I downloaded and installed about 67 "critical" Windows updates. Big mistake. After that, the laptop would not boot at all. I'd see the start-up screen with the Toshiba logo, then it would go to a completely black (although backlit) screen with a blinking "cursor" (really an underscore) in the upper left-hand corner. After just 3 or 4 beeps... nothing. Just a black screen. Nothing else. No hard drive activity. Nothing. I rebooted multiple times to no avail. I couldn't even get into safe mode. Finally I tried a Windows XP "repair". After the repair I could get as far as the Windows logo screen, but then I'd get a blue screen with a long error that went by so fast I couldn't read it. I have no idea what happened. I think you are right. I'll just get the recovery disc and hope it has all the right software.
Thanks,
Chuck

Repeatedly asked to install Flash 11 on IE 9 Windows Home Premium 64 bit

From my admin account - I successfully install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11. Everything works fine (in that same admin account) until a system reboot. Then I receive messages from websites stating that they want me to install Adobe Flash. I do so and all is well until the reboot.
I have followed all the instructions on the Adobe main troubleshooting pages from uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting through the deletion of folders at run %appdat%\Adobe - Flash Folder and %\Macromedia and then uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling etc.
Again, I receive a successful installation message and everything works properly until the reboot. Looks like a lot of users have had this problem, but I haven't found a clean answer. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I followed one suggestion and downloaded and ran Secunia PSI and found no older version of Flash Player installed. I do also have Adobe CS 5 Suite installed. I also started receiving messages from HP Solution Software that it would not operate until the latest version of Adobe Flash is installed. I uninstalled the HP software pending resolution. Uninstalls and reinstalls of Flash were not successful after removing the HP software either.

Hello, I too have experienced the repeating of installing Flash Player after performing a successful install. The PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, and Flash Player 11.4.402.265. The installation of the latest FP indicates a successfull install. Then when going to any site that uses FP, for example, weather.com, yahoo news, youtube, a message window indicates the latest FP needs to be installed.
I've went through the steps in thread 4613512 (FP uninstaller), 928315 (clean install), 987370 (permissions errors), the steps in this thread including deleting the %Appdata%\Macromedia folders prior to the install, removed references to Adobe 7 in the Windows registry (running Adobe 10.1.4). Also checked that Windows Media Player was not installed. It is not. All of the functions in the steps within these threads seemed to complete successfully. No errors or other problems were indicated. Would you have any suggestions on something else to try? Thank you.

Windows Vista Home Premium Recovery Disks won't work

Have original disks for this Toshiba A215. The hard drive failed so put in new hard drive. Got the missing boot manager message. so a tecn person used a cd and reformated the new hard drive. Still wouldn't run the recovery disks to install to factory defaults. the Windows Vista sticker still on the computer with the activation code. So borrowed an install disk from a friend, but won't activate. Says it's not a valid activation code. and still won't recognize my recovery disks. starts to run the recovery program then gives message - cannot enumerate. What does it want to enumerate??

cannot enumerate.
Try resetting the BIOS from AHCI mode to IDE or Compatibility or whatever you find there.
Most likely the trouble is caused by a hard disk with advanced-format technology. After restoring, there will be more to do.
Which Satellite A215? Always tell us that. There is a label on the bottom.

Installation issue with Creative Suite 6 Production Premium install disks on ASUS laptop, Windows 8

Hi Adobe:
While trying to install CS6 Production Premium with install disks on my new laptop, many installation attempts have failed due to the DVD player falling asleep while reading Disk 2. The Installer software and Disk 1 seem to be operating fine, but after switching the disks when prompted, the installation simply stalls.
I have used these disks before and successfully installed on a previous desktop machine. I have an Adobe ID and issues serial number for this license.
May I download this content in order to circumvent the install disks entirely and try it that way?
Thanks,

OK to copy Win7 (Home Premium SP1) disk to external hard drive?

The MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS for Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
say:
10. BACKUP COPY.
a. Media.If you acquired the
software on a disc or other media, you may make one backup copy of the media. You may use it only to reinstall the software on the licensed computer.
That tells about backing up the installation media.
What about "backing up" the Windows disk itself, by copying a mirror image it to an (portable) external hard drive, similar to what's mentioned in
According to Malmition's November 12, 2012 Making a copy of Windows disk - Microsoft technical link request
post on this forum:
I work with an engineer that feels he constantly needs to restore his windows 7 drive to its original state.
He does this by have a copy of his c drive - it is not an image and he is not using any imaging software - just a flat copy of his c drive.
When we wants to start over he formats his drive, boot from a thumb drive, and copies the c drive back.
This is working fine for him.
I've watched him do the copy back and forth so I see he's not using anything to image like ghost, acronis, etc
I thought you couldn't just copy your windows drive?
I'd like to do something similar.
Is that allowed by the Win7 Home Premium SW license terms?
Thank you.
- Russell J (USA)

Sorry to say: Try to solve real problems.
Major drawback: You have not specified what license you have. Specification Win7 Home Premium is not enough.
1. Do not compare installation content on DVD and that of on hard disk. Installation disk contains packed files for your Windows. Sector by sector copy of HDD is NOT the same as what you can find on install DVD. From the point of law, the backup use (native,3rd
pty or by DD sector by sector) is legal, if you use it for restoration of Windows on HDD for the same computer, if you have ONE license.
2. No one could object the situation, when you are backing multiple times (full, incremental,... backup)
3. You cannot discuss c: drive only, because there is another partition that is important, namely hidden system partition. (Minimum of two partitions). License should cover the whole disk, not boot partition only.
4. There are special rules for OEM, multilicenses, ... I have created system image that I distributed on many computers, because of I used special licenses that allow for multiple use in lab environment (Campus License, MSDN Academic Alliance, Dreamspark)

I changed windows 7 ultimate changed to windows home premium

Ok, I want to thank the two people who tried to help me last time. I found out I had to install a new windows. So I went and found my friend could do it but me having windows ultimate he only hand windows 7 home premium... And well now that it works I have
a new problem... Along with the ultimate status gotten rid of, I now don't have the windows office. So like word, PowerPoint and excell.
My question is is there away for me to get it back without a fee or will I just have to go and buy the office pack stuff to replace it?

To begin with, you need to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office, then install them. Microsoft doesn't allow free installation of Windows/Office. If your PC was shipped with Windows, contact the manufacturer and request for a Windows installation
disk. They may charge based on the warranty status and the company policy.

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
HELP!
Thanks,
Steve

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.
