Salam, my laptop have given me some hdd error lately and kept telling me that i should backup my files on hdd and contact the support or whatever. Tbh i never read the whole damn thing, i always closed that error. lol
I came back from work and it wouldnt load windows, so i tried the repair thingy on startup. all went to hell at 20% of reparing. it gave me a error and when i restarted the damn machine it said bootmgr missing. press alt+ctrl+del to restart.
I had actually 2 non working laptop lying around, so just for the fun of it i opened my laptop and switched the hdd. i replaced a toshiba 5400 rpm, 8mb buffer with a samsung 5400 rpm with a 8mb buffer. i took a chance, apart from a small beeping noise from the hdd and a small screen stutter on startup, my pc is working.
so i formated the "new" hdd and now my toshiba pc thinks that it is a compaq. lol. i downloaded some of the drivers that seemed important from toshiba site but my win7 says it is pirated or whatever. it is asking for a key. i have never gotten any win cds from the manufacturers and this is my fourth laptop. all i get is that small sticker on the bottom and guess what. the keys on both stickers are worn out.
i couldnt care less about its real or not but i want to install that free microsoft antivirus program, since i use my pc to pay bills online etc. plus i want to get rid of that annoying fake win message.
thanks for reading my post and i hope you take the time to reply aswell. all kind of replys are wanted. peace
