I will try that as option 2. In my experience, never rely on the generosity or compassion of others when you want something. Especially when there's the possibility of cash involved
Ive hooked up this old hard drive and in the partition I created for back up etc it has Windows System Image amongst other things.
Should I follow this tutorial to create a disc then try to reinstall that way?

The nice helpful man at Microsoft just blocked my Windows 7. I am so done with this.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
The Key you are using has been blocked from activation since July 2009 - before Windows 7 was launched.
It was NEVER a Key which could be activated through either internet ot Telephone activation.
Did you not explain about your sticker?
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
And yes I did explain about my sticker etc but I could tell he wasnt interested and doing a scripted response, telling me to contact the manufacturer or provide proof of my Windows 7 purchase, after telling him three times that it was preinstalled.
I explained that I still have this original installation on a hard drive that will not boot etc. so I can't just do a repair install etc...
So frustrated. There's no point contacting Samsung, right?
I can't be the only person in this position. And now that the guy says the Product is blocked, is there any point attempting to do some kind of Samsung Recovery - since it will need the thing he just blocked?
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
Ok have done some reading up and am I right in saying that using a Samsung Recovery thing it bypasses the need to type in the number on the sticker?
Didn't get any disks with the laptop so I assume it is in the Recovery Partition of my old hard drive? I was able to access this using Ubuntu Live CD and I assume will be able to hook it up to my laptop now and maybe run it or something?
Sorry for being pessimistic, I would have been lost without great help so far but for almost a week I have been tearing my hair out with one problem or another.
Below is what I see in Disk Management when I connect the old hard drive. Here you can see the Recovery I was talking about highlighted.
Really appreciate any help with this.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
Please red my posts.....
Your PC came with TWO keys.
1) The OEM_SLP Key - which is the one can ONLY you had previously been using, and which can only be activated using proper Recovery media.
2) The COA_SLP Key - the one on the sticker, which is unreadable.
The OEM_SLP Key cannot be activated by phone or by internet - it relies on special software found ONLY in the recovery media, together with the BIOS of the machine, too be able to self-activate on EVERY boot of the machine.
The COA_SLP Key MUST be activated by telephone or Internet.
You have already got the OEM_SLP Key - it's the one currently installed.
It CANNOT and will NEVER activate - because the media used for installation were not the proper Recovery media.
You need to order a set of media from Samsung - on DVD - and reinstall from that. It will contain the special code that allows self-activation.
If you can clone the Recovery partition from the old drive, it MAY work - depending on how the system was set up - but getting the proper media direct from Samsung is a better option, unless you can persuade MS to part with a replacement Key.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
Thanks. And I did read. Until you explained there it made no sense.
The way I understood it was that the guy had just blocked the 'automatic key' that is specific to my laptop and requires no activation and that now my machine would only accept a brand new version of Windows. Please tell me this is not the case.
The discs available from Samsung will install Windows using the OEM SLP key that does not require me to type any key in during installation. Samsung provide these but obviously are not authorised to hand out new Windows Keys, only Microsoft can do that (if they feel like it...)
Am I right so far?
I literally have no idea why I have this Key written down - and laminated - on a piece of paper.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
He did nothing - except read the Key status from the computer screen (badly!)
They are *supposed* then to request that you read the COA sticker Key back to them so they can check it properly.
This is your opportunity to say it's illegible, and you need a new one (and pretty, pretty please would he be a nice little man and let you have one?.....)
Let's just check the Key you have written down -
If it ends 2BT4J then you can throw it in the bin, as it's the OEM_SLP Key.
If it ends PGGTG you can also thow it in the bin, as it's the Default (or Keyless Install) Key which won't activate under any cricumstances whatever.
If it's ANYTHING else, then post the last three blocks of the Key, and I'll do what tests I can (basically a google search and my archive search) and see what I can find.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2012
Lol guy sounded half asleep so maybe he was on autopilot. The key was already blocked, he made it sound so powerful, I was like "Noooooooooooo...." But yeah, it ends in 2BT4J.
I called up the number again and said 'Look I need advice here...'
The guy said that if I call Support when the lines open on Monday then someone there might be able to help me recover my COA key or issue a replacement key. I take it I will need date of purchase with Serial number etc?
It's worth a shot but I'm contacting Samsung also to find out about recovery discs. I have just cloned the recovery partition from the broken drive, is this basically the same info that Samsung would send me on a disc? ie burnable and bootable?

Well, here's a word of wisdom to all you men out there: However well intentioned, however much your honey asks you, never refer to her "roll," "love handles," or any other excess bit of flesh. Tears immediately sprang to my eyes at Randy's innocent comment, and I snapped, "Well, thanks. THAT's helpful!" He looked surprised, but then he took me in his arms when he saw how upset I was. "I understand how hard it is," he said, but I countered that since he grew up a wiry, skinny kid, and turned into a muscular, lean adult, there was no way he could understand what it was like to constantly struggle with one's weight. He acknowledged that I was right (one of the reasons I love him is that he is always reasonable). To my mind, the best way you can help a partner lose weight without stepping on his (or her) toes is to acknowledge that it's a struggle, cheer when there's progress (Randy is a fab cheerleader for my Pleasure Diet efforts), make a partner feel attractive and sexually desirable at any weight (Randy is also an ace at that) and do little things to make it easy for the dieter to stay the course. It helps me that Randy is a naturally healthy eater and that exercising regularly is as important to him as it is to me–last night, when he came home, he surprised me with an exercise mat and some dumbbells, so I can do workout DVDs when I visit him and it's too cold to go outside. What doesn't help: commenting that it looks like someone has gained a few (as I've already mentioned) or monitoring their food intake in any way (or even commenting on it, along the lines of, Honey, are you sure you want dessert? How do you and YOUR significant other talk about weight issues? What hurts? What helps? Share your stories here, please.

MetroMile, a technology company that aims to unlock and make use of all the world's driving data, announced that it launched publicly and unveiled a car insurance product that charges drivers a per- mile rate for the miles they drive each month, delivering significant savings to lower mileage drivers.
According to a release, the company has raised over
MetroMile provides drivers with a proprietary device called the Metronome that they plug into their car. The Metronome extracts valuable driving data and transmits it in real-time, providing an accurate report of miles driven. Using this data, drivers pay a few cents per mile plus a low base rate each month for full coverage car insurance. Only the number of miles driven is used to calculate the rate, not when, where or how someone drives. By paying only for the miles they actually drive each month, lower mileage drivers can save 20 -50 percent for protection equal or superior to traditional car insurance products. MetroMile drivers can also access detailed and valuable driving analytics through a simple online dashboard, helping them better understand their car use.
"There is a widening gap between high mileage and low mileage drivers," said
The company noted that the MetroMile service is powered by a technology platform that has been developed over nearly two years. Combining new hardware, software, and cloud-based infrastructure, MetroMile's technology allows previously inaccessible driving data to be accessed, analyzed, and managed at a massive scale.
"Driving data represents an enormous, untapped opportunity," said

Pirates proving they belong in playoffsOctober 7, 2013 8:22 AM
Tuesday night was fun. It was more than 40,000 people packing PNC Park for the first time, showering their team with so much love that the Cincinnati Reds never had a chance in that wild-card baseball showdown. It was a nonstop thrill ride, ending with a man so impassioned by the experience of a Pirates victory to advance to the National League Division Series that the natural thing to do was to jump into the Allegheny River from the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
Tuesday night was fun, yes. But Sunday night was playoff baseball. It was vintage, high-stakes, hold-your-bladder stuff. It was the tried-and-true St. Louis Cardinals, led by postseason maestro Carlos Beltran, trying to ruin everything. It was 40,000 nervous people sending a prayer into the uncomfortable dark of an unseasonably warm fall evening: that, somehow, Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez had learned how to hit left-handed pitching.
It was Mr. Alvarez answering those unholy requests, roping a single into right field to score Josh Harrison and give the Pirates the lead again in the bottom of the eighth.
How do you go from a cute story to a legitimate contender in October? You win games like Sunday's. You win, 5-3, after allowing the Cardinals to tie the game at 2-2 and then at 3-3. You stare down the bully and you answer him, over and over again, and you walk off the field needing one more win for a trip to the National League Championship Series.
Hey, America, look. The Pittsburgh Pirates are serious about this.
"I believe we're showing that," Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen said. "Actions speak louder than words on that one. All you have to do is watch a ballgame. That'll answer it."
As Mr. McCutchen said this, he was surrounded in front of his locker in the Pirates clubhouse. Reporters from around the country were hoping he could help them figure this out. The Pirates, leading the best-of-five series by 2-1, will play at 3:07 p.m. today with a chance to advance.
"I feel we are somewhat of a Cinderella story for baseball, for all of sports," Mr. McCutchen said. "We're continuing to surprise a lot of people, to show that we're not just happy to be in the postseason, that we're fighting for a World Series."
Mr. McCutchen can sense the bandwagon growing outside of Western Pennsylvania, and he understands the intrigue of this rollicking revival on the river.
"We're the new team," he said. "The Rays, the Oakland A's have been here. I guess you can say we're fresh meat. Everybody wants a piece, wants to see what the Pirates are all about, and it gets me excited."
On Sunday, as he has done before both playoff games at PNC Park, Mr. McCutchen took a moment to soak up what he has helped create. He looked into the stands, into the faces of the crowd, and reminded himself that he's living a dream. All the guy from small-town Fort Meade, Fla., had to do to persuade thousands of total strangers to wear black was send a tweet asking them to do so.
Now it was a Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, and people had traded in their Roethlisberger and Polamalu jerseys for Mr. McCutchen's No. 22 and hometown kid Neil Walker's No. 18.
"Well," Mr. Walker said, "it helped that the Steelers were on a bye week."
It also helped that the Steelers are 0-4, but no reason to go there at a time like this. The Pirates have their city's heart, no matter the circumstances.
"This is painting memories," Mr. McCutchen said, "and this is just one of those things they're going to remember forever just as much as we are. It's definitely not just us. It's all of us."
The Pirates, and Pittsburgh, did not know what to expect when these playoffs began, and that was the beauty of it.
Tuesday's 6-2 win was magical because it was the first time the city had hosted a playoff game since 1992. Then, it was on to St. Louis, where Pirates starting pitcher A.J. Burnett gave up seven early runs in a 9-1 loss Thursday. Rookie pitching sensation Gerrit Cole made sure the Pirates wouldn't come home empty-handed Friday.
In Sunday's game, with ace Francisco Liriano on the mound, the Pirates were clear favorites, especially playing in front of what some national pundits think is one of the best atmospheres they've encountered. But could the Pirates do what good teams do and take what's in front of them?
Mr. Beltran stood in their way, singling in two runs to tie the game in the fifth.
In the eighth, after the Pirates had retaken the lead, 3-2, on a Russell Martin sacrifice fly, Mr. Beltran swatted a home run to right-center field, tying the game again. He now has more postseason home runs, 16, than Babe Ruth.
"He is amazing to watch," Mr. McCutchen said.
So many small moments added up to this simple fact: The Pirates would have to score again to win the game. Sure enough, Mr. McCutchen, who is batting .538 in the postseason, ripped a double down the left-field line.
As he got to second base, he raised his arms, playing to the crowd, and emphatically flashed the "Zoltan" sign. It was an MVP moment, until he was thrown out at third base on the next play after some poor judgment.
The Pirates weren't done, though. Marlon Byrd walked, sending Mr. Harrison to second with one out. It would be up to Mr. Alvarez, who bats below .200 against left-handed pitching and was facing Cardinals lefty Kevin Siegrist.
Once again in these playoffs, Mr. Alvarez embraced the stage.
"That's what you dream of," he said, "to be able to play in these type of games at this time of year. And to do it here, you know, it's just been a lot of fun."
The stadium was electric again on Sunday, in spurts. This time, chanting the pitcher's name in unison did not tear him apart. There was more quiet, more nerves, as the tenor of the game demanded.
How did these Pirates, with so little to draw from in the past, hold up?
"You just try to take some breaths," shortstop Jordy Mercer said. "You try to live in the moment."
Added fellow shortstop Clint Barmes, "Deep breaths, yeah. There are times when things get going a little fast, and you try to take a step back. That's a pretty good feeling when you're playing a game that causes you to do that."
Pirates closer Jason Grilli, who earned the save, said the Pirates have been preparing for these moments all season.
"I feel like I could lift up my Hummer with the adrenaline that's flowing," Mr. Grilli said. "You have to take it in stride and try to use it to your advantage. If you let it take hold of you, it can be too much."
Four games into this postseason, the Pirates have it under control.homepage - neigh_city - pirates

This event occurs annually on the fourth Saturday in October.
The next Make A Difference Day is October 22, 2016.
Rebuilding Together Long Beach participates in the largest national day of helping others: Make a Difference Day. This event is sponsored annually by USA WEEKEND Magazine and its 800 carrier newspapers. This day is the most encompassing national day of helping others – a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Over 3 million volunteers across the country will rally to make a difference in their communities. Thousands of projects from coast-to-coast involving corporations, communities, non-profit organizations, entire states and individual Americans demonstrate the power of people to make change.
Rebuilding Together Long Beach participates each year by rehabilitating 2 to 5 sites. Generally, this workday focuses on sites that do not require as many technically skilled volunteers as National Rebuilding Day. Volunteer groups are needed to bring energy, enthusiasm, and the willingness to tackle any task with big hearts. The scope of work may include painting, cleaning, landscaping, power washing, etc.
Since 2001 we have been proud to partner with Student Life and Development at California State University, Long Beach. Each fall, Brett Waterfield and the SLD staff provide over 100 volunteers. Other volunteer groups for Make a Difference Day include Long Beach City College, the World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA) Long Beach and Molina Health Care.

Will Self & Myself 'Off the Shelf' Sheffield 2011 by Ruth Taylor
Hello Friend, into the dark we go...
Birch Moon... Samhain marks the end of the harvest for all Pagans, Picts, Celts, Druids and Nature lovers...and the entering into the 'dark-half' of the year'. The moon rises directly opposite the Earth from the Sun on the 10th November at 20:16...Remember: The Full Moon always rises at sunset. The last quarter at midnight. The New Moon always rises at sunrise. The first quarter at noon.
The asteroid YU55 passed through the Moon's orbit on Tuesday night and came within 200,000 miles of us. It will return in 2041 possibly with more accuracy and could in fact enter Earth's atmosphere next time.
This Friday's Remembrance Day is on 11/11/2011 @ 11:11am
Special Offer...As a winter warmer I am offering a 10% discount in our shoppe during the Full Moon (use the money you save on keeping warm!). From Thursday 10th up to Sunday 13th at midnight just type in 'BIRCH2011' at the checkout to get your discount.
Off the Shelf...During the month of October, Sheffield was home to the world class literary festival entitled 'Off the Shelf'. The city puts on a wealth of diverse entertainment across one hundred different venues - all things literary.
Scour the 'Off the Shelf' guide and you will find everything from readings, workshops and signings to book swaps, poetry slams and lectures from some of our best loved authors, illustrators and thinkers as well as nurturing Sheffield's immense local talent as well. This year there were many inspiring offerings but one that I particularly enjoyed was Will Self at the Pennine Lecture Theatre. He is an alluring character, uncomfortable with letting the unexplained go unnoticed and the unchallenged go quietly. After sharing his complimentary sandwiches with us he shared his experiences as a long time OCD sufferer and the difficulties he has with packing for a journey. After electing to buy a Barbour jacket as the perfect solution to his traveling requirements he sets off on his latest literary journey 'Walking to Hollywood'. Self's inimitable style of lurid realism that vaults off in to a flight of wild imaginings is as colourful as ever.
Inspired by the literary festival, Bird&Bee is embarking on a series of essays over the next 12 months. The essays are a 15 minute read that are hopefully informative, thought provoking, witty and fun. They are accompanied by some beautiful illustrations too. The first is entitled '2012 - An Optimist's Apocalypse', which attempts to dissect the notion of December 21st 2012 as being the end of the world. It sets out the realities behind the Mayan calendar and Geological activities (that will or will not occur on this potentially fateful date) in a thought provoking and humorous manner! It is available for free with the Limited Edition Lunar Wheel Calendar or for £2.50 from the 'Shoppe'.
"the global catastrophe - hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, synchronising and amplifying each other in a positive feedback loop that will spin out of control... Should probably happen in ones, not tens, of years" - Alexey Dmitriev, Siberian Scientist
Moon Mugs... Finally they have landed and are as beautiful as ever. They are available now from the 'Shoppe' with discounts for two or more...
Harmony... We will be offering a range of Harmony Cards for Christmas - For those who do not know what 'Harmony' is all will be explained in December.
Till then, Thanks for supporting Bird&Bee and independent Artists alike!
Christmas Markets
Chatsworth Christmas Fair... Bird&Bee is very pleased to be invited to join the Chatsworth Christmas Market this year. We will be giving demonstrations on the hour, every hour, with our finely tuned Spectacular automatic drawing machine 'Harmony' and be offering all manner of bespoke, beautifully designed and printed wares as well. The setting is beautiful and there will be an amazing mix of craft and Christmas stalls to wonder around....please come along and find us! The markets are on from Fridays thru til Sundays at 10am - 5pm on the weekends of the 11th-13th and 18th-20th November 2011.
Lincoln Christmas Market... Bird&Bee will also be at the Lincoln Christmas Market this year (Europe's biggest Xmas Market). At the top of Steep Hill & Bailgate is the Cathedral and Castle. Wonder around this ancient cobbled city and peruse the stalls....a beautiful place to be! Thursday 1st December - Sunday 4th December 2011.
New in 2011 from Bird&Bee
Signed & numbered, Limited edition Lunar Wheel Calendar 2012 available in deep black.
Limited Edition for 2012
With all the hysteria that has built up around December 21st 2012 and its Mayan connections, Bird&Bee attempts to dispel the myth that the end of the world is nigh! Bird&Bee is offering to it's first 500 friends - a Limited Edition Lunar Wheel Calendar 2012 in Deep Black, as a celebration of Life, Cycles, Nature and the Now!
The Limited Edition, signed and numbered copies are accompanied with a witty pamphlet and sticker set, entitled: 'How to Survive the Apocalypse' - a guide to surviving the 'doomed' date of 21/12/2012 and the world as we know it! It has plain facts, insights, anecdotes and illustrations to help you come to terms with the fact that the world ISN'T going to end in December 2012!
Every year we make a new wheel to track the motions and movements of the Moon, the Sun and the Stars. Each 'arm' on the wheel is a full sweep of the phases of the moon for that given month, radiating out from the hub of the wheel. Each arm depicts the full Lunar Phase progression, Moon Quarter Times, Lunar Ingress Signs, Sun Ingress Signs, Solar Eclipses, Lunar Eclipses, the Earth Date and weekends within. All of which are set out in a ledgible format so you can navigate the whole of the year at a glance. At the foot of the chart is the key to all symbols used, Pagan Moon names, a handy guide to the Sunrise and Sunset times for every Sunday in the year and dates for Solstices, Equinoxes and Pagan Festivals. The chart also makes it easy to tell when British Summer Time begins and ends. All times on the chart are centered on Greenwich Mean Time for the location:
00° 0', 51° 32' North
The 'Original' Lunar Wheel for 2012, in the ever-popular deep 'prussian blue', is still available to order on our website.

ENCINITAS —— The City Council has agreed to relax its restrictions on recreational vehicles parked on public streets, City Clerk Deborah Cervone said Thursday.
By a 5-0 vote late Wednesday, the council amended its code so residents can obtain annual permits allowing unlimited parking of such vehicles for non-consecutive, 48-hour periods. The previous permits allowed 72 hours of parking four times per year.
To receive a permit, applicants must show proof of residency and evidence that their vehicles normally are stored off of the street.
The permit also requires that the recreational vehicle be parked immediately in front of or adjacent to the applicant's home.
The City Council in 2004 approved restrictions on recreational vehicles to control illegal camping on city streets.
