I have a HTC HD7 for a phone.  I’ve been synchronizing it with my Windows 7 laptop, until my laptop’s disk drive got corrupted, and I had to re-install the original manufacturer’s image on it.  When I did, I had to re-install a few things to get my HTC HD7 phone to work with my laptop again.  For my benefit, I document what I had to do and where I obtained the software to make things work again.

1. Download and install Microsoft’s Zune software.
2. Download and install the HTC Sync Manager.

Install these and your phone will be detected by Zune when it is plugged into your computer.

At this point, follow the setup prompts from the Zune screen:

Click Next.

Name your phone, and click Next.

As soon as it links with your phone, it will start doing some initial synchronization.

Now click Settings.

You’ll see a detailed synchronization settings page.

Once you’ve made your choices, click OK and you will see the updated synchronization to match your specifications.

That’s it!
