sorry about that http://www.techfleece.com/2012/10/18/download-windows-7-install-disks-legally-for-free/

That's the same link that Willy2 has posted in http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,4355.0.html

You can give it a try but if unsuccessful, just PM me your address and I'll send you a couple of Win 7 SP1 install disks - just need to know if you are using 32 or 64 bit versions.

While there is a method to change the product key to your COA sticker key which may/not work following a repair install, there's no point in trying to repair your install while you have a failing HDD.

munchie2222 · « **Reply #102 on:** April 02, 2016, 08:50:34 am »

It is 64bit and I tried to download from that site and when you click on the appropriate download link they ask for a program code and I have no code. If you would send me the install disks I will send you an Interact e- money transfer for whatever it costs, I don't expect you to be out of pocket to help me.

My wife's computer is a Dell Inspiron 1764, 64-bit, 4.00 GB usable and she is running Windows 7 Home Premium same as me and I did a full back-up to DVD and system repair disc.

Thanks Tom for everything, you are a good Man.

I'll give you the details in a PM.

I assume you mean Private message?

Boggin · « **Reply #105 on:** April 02, 2016, 09:47:17 am »

Yes, you should see the notification to read your messages - I've just sent it.

munchie2222 · « **Reply #106 on:** April 02, 2016, 10:04:56 am »

Yes I saw it and replied

Boggin · « **Reply #107 on:** April 02, 2016, 10:23:12 am »

Likewise

Anyway, I'm off now for my tea meal.

munchie2222 · « **Reply #108 on:** April 04, 2016, 04:09:30 am »

Quick question: The wireless Modem is hooked up through a USB port to my computer, "the crashed" computer, once I re-load windows and loose all original programs and files will I loose my internet connection or are the settings within the modem itself so my wife's computer will remain connected. Sorry for the dumb questions.
Have a great day
Pete

Are you using an USB wireless dongle for your Internet and is your wife's machine sharing the connection ?

If that's the case then you could plug that into your wife's machine while the problematic computer is out of action.

munchie2222 · « **Reply #110 on:** April 04, 2016, 05:53:46 am »

Not sure what a dongle is. It's just a phone line into Modem and a USB from out Modem and in Compute.

Boggin · « **Reply #111 on:** April 04, 2016, 05:59:08 am »

The cables from modems or routers usually connect to an Ethernet (RJ45) port on the computer which is different to an USB port.

When you say "modem" - is this an all in one modem router which also broadcasts a wireless signal ?

munchie2222 · « **Reply #112 on:** April 04, 2016, 06:39:39 am »

My previous modem didn't require USB connection however this modem has that USB connection.
The name of the modem is (Sagemcom) F@ST 2704N routers 1 and the manual says adapts the ADSL function respectively on POTS (ITU G992.1/3/5- Appendix A and on ISDN (ITU G992. 1/3/5/ - appendix B
F@ST 2704N equipment include 4 ethernet interfaces LAN1 to LAN4 1 ADSL interface and ne USD port.

Boggin · « **Reply #113 on:** April 04, 2016, 07:27:51 am »

That's a wireless router - so why do you need to connect with a cable on a laptop when they usually have wireless capability ?

munchie2222 · « **Reply #114 on:** April 04, 2016, 08:11:13 am »

Maybe I don't I will check and see back to you soon

Boggin · « **Reply #115 on:** April 04, 2016, 08:17:46 am »

If your wife isn't wired up then she must be connecting wirlessly.

Open a cmd prompt on her machine and enter ipconfig /all

It should produce something like mine where I just use wifi -

I sent you a reply before you did this message up and I was using the tablet and I guess it didn't post. I went to my computer, pulled the USB cable, went back to the wife's and it is working perfectly, I have no idea why I was using a USB cable other than I must be very stupid, a medication thing I doubt, or just back from a medical thing, I honestly don't remember. Sorry to have you spend your time because seemingly I'm not to bright.
Thanks, I won't bother you unless it is a dire straight thing.

Boggin · « **Reply #117 on:** April 04, 2016, 08:40:25 am »

It isn't a problem - if you don't ask then you don't learn so don't be afraid to ask.

Those were some wise words from my recruitment sergeant that I never forgot.

You are a scholar and a gentleman.
Thanks once again Tom

Have you decided what you are going to do with the problematic machine yet ?

munchie2222 · « **Reply #122 on:** April 04, 2016, 10:06:17 am »

No, but I think I will just reload windows when the discs arrive, would you not agree? Be back in a couple of hrs. just heading out with the wife for a lunch.

Boggin · « **Reply #123 on:** April 04, 2016, 02:01:53 pm »

There's no point in installing anything onto a failing HDD.

Do another chkdsk c: /r and see if the KBs in bad sectors has increased - it was at 32 the last time which had increased from 24.

munchie2222 · « **Reply #124 on:** April 05, 2016, 03:44:21 am »

Sorry it took me so long to get back to and yes I will do another chkdsk and then whatever you suggest. I wish I could do a back-up but when I tried before it recognised the DVD drive but wouldn't back-up. Is there a way I can get into the repair menu with the option to back-up. Will the discs your are sending me have all the programs that were on the computer when I purchased it?
Talk at you later
