hi guys, my HD from my computer wasnt working anymore, so i bought a 1tb and try to clone it. but the old HD was damage too much and wasnt able to clone it.
i try to reset my pc to factory setting but even the back up was damage. i can still access the files that arent damage with harems boot cd-->runnning mini xp.
this is how i got most of my files. my problems is that i cant get my old windows 7 that was install on my computer( came istalled already when bought). is there a way to get my license that came with my computer?



i try to install an upgrade version of windows 7 that my brother had, but now windows is telling my that i need to register my version of windows. and on my desktop there is a message that say build 7600"This copy of windows is not genuine". he has this version running on his pc.

Any retail Windows License is only valid on ONE PC at a time.
An Upgrade license requires that a previous valid Full license is present and dedicated for that PC.
Is there a COA sticker on the PC for the original OS? (what was it?)

To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- **in your own thread**, please
Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

You can use that same boot CD you tried (in your first post) to copy out your favorites.

While you're at it, make sure to get everything else off of there that you think you might need while the old HD is still somewhat accessible.

Find out where Firefox is storing them on your new HD and go to the same place on your old HD to copy them out.

I'm not in front of a machine now that has FF installed, and I cannot remember where it stores them....

Your problem appears to be simply that you haven't activated the installation yet - although there is also an indication of a validation problem, it is probably due to atttempting to validate while out of grace period.

telephone activation (operator calls)
Click on the Start button
in the Search box, type
SLUI 4
and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you

i appreciate the help. but my question was if there was a way to get my windows license that came with my pc. since it doesnt work anymore i couldnt clone it.

right now i install a version that my brother has on his PC, so if i talk to try to activate they probably going to know that my brother still using this version of windows 7 on his pc. and will tell my to buy a new one.

Firefox bookmarks are typically in:

C Users Yourusername appdata roaming Mozilla Firefox Profiles

In the Profiles folder, you should see a folder with a "default" extension.

Inside that folder, you should see a series of dated files with a "json" extension. These are bookmarks.

I back up my entire Firefox installation by copying the entire Mozilla folder.

The Key for your PC is on the COA sticker on the case - and nowhere else in the world.
If you reinstall with the proper Recovery media for your PC, it should install the manufacturer's Key, which will self-activate.

You haven't given us your system specs although you have told us you have a Dell computer, but you don't tell us which model.

Also, we don't know where you live, but if it is in the United States you can request a restore disc from Dell, with which you can restore your computer to its factory state.

Dell - Support

You can also download an official Windows 7 ISO that you can use to clean install Windows 7, using your COA product key for activation.

i think dell will charge me for a restore disc.........

Please do not assume. If you are in U.S.A submit your Media Request Form as seavixen32 suggested - whether or not your machine is still under warranty.

If you are in any other country contact DELL Technical Support in your region.

Give the reason - Hard Disk failed. need reinstall disk to install on a new HDD. Recovery Disks lost/damaged ( If there was a provision to create the Recovery Disks on your machine)

Mostly DELL will send the OEM Reinstall Disk free.

If you get it there is nothing like it since with the OEM Reinstall Disk you may do a clean install at any time, any number of times and at any frequency and it will selfactivate. (speaking from my personal experience)

You can still go ahead with the COA-SLP activation - if you do not want to wait ( usually DELL is prompt and fast) - since you can always reinstall it with OEM disk anytime and get back to OEM-SLP activation.
