6640 used to install vista

Just pulled up to my house nine 6640 and I get the message "Windows is unable to complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, run the Setup again.

Windows recovery does not work and I have no disc to re - install windows. I sent to HP and am waiting for a response, just thought I'd check here also.

Try this. Seems Vista must be reinstalled.

(1) If you are unable to start Windows or it is stuck in a loop try runs a recovery of the recovery partition. Normally, you have disks for it.

If at startup of the computer press F10 repeatedly until he says "Windows is loading the file. When the Recovery manager is go to Advanced Options, choose the last option generally as system recovery or recover your computer to it's original fasctory or Factory Reset settings and go then, say no to backup options and let it do it's.

If you do not save your documents you will lose them as it will retrieve the day where we pc o back. If I understand well you don't have the chance to use the pc or don't save all files which it so no need to worry about backing up files.

(2) once the recovery is complete, and you are able to get into the pc and use it, you can then proceed to make your own recovery discs. I recommend using DVDs (u normally need 2-3) of them. Make sure that they aren't just not +/-RW +/-r recordable discs quite normal.

http://www.WikiHow.com/create-recovery-discs-for-Windows-Vista-in-HP-Recovery-Manager

If you get an error in the creation process of appeal as HP recovery disks and they normally provide a free game. Normally, it costs about 15 to $ 30, depending on shipping you choose to buy directly from HP.

I hope this helps.

  • Used to install Vista SP2. error code 800705b 3 error_requires_interactive_windowstation

    I now tried installing Vista sp2 several times and get the above error message.

    I have Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1.

    I use Google Chrome as a browser and Kaspersky Internet security as a security suite.

    I have a Dell Dimension desktop computer about 6 years now with 1 GB of Ram & AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor5000 + 2.6 GHz.

    Although I am British my windows operating system is in German.

    I tried a lot of different options suggested on google and Microsoft.

    I tried to install windows update, but that has not worked.

    I also downloaded the SP2 and system update readiness tool and tried to install again, which didn't work.

    I tried to install in safe mode. I did a clean boot and tried to install.

    I checked the registry for the vLight folder see if that was causing the problem, but there was no record vLight.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit 50202 but still cannot install.

    I hope someone can help. All tips are welcome.

    Do you think we (or rather you) will be able to decipher this problem or are - it probably that I have to reinstall Vista and SP1, and then try again to install SP2...

    My #1 concern is the fact that your computer has been & still lacks so many updates of security reviews.

    • Support for Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Computers still running Vista SP1 "will no longer updates [i.e., updates published after July 12, 2011 so you're now nearly three 3 years behind on security updates critical!]. from Windows Update"until SP2 has been installed (this will require several prerequisite updates be installed first).

    Even if we managed to get SP2 installed, there's a very good chance that one or several updates released since July 12, 2011 will not be able to install.

    Then there's the fact that your computer - and the data on it - has been at risk for so long.

    Therefore, the only way you can ever trust the computer sescurity again would be of formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean installation of Windows (Vista or Win7).

    See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

    If you need additional help with the clean install of Vista, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a "BigBoxStore") computer repair shop & let them do the work.

    Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  • Used to install Vista SP 2

    I keep getting the Error 80070020 when trying to install SP2. I've tried safe mode, turn off my anti-virus and uninstall, turning my wall of dead fire and DL all the SP and manually trying to install it. None of this has worked. Any ideas? Should I reinstall windows? All other updates were working. I do all this on a new install of Vista. SP 1 installed without any problems, just like all the other updates.

    Hello mstersmith,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Sorry to hear you are having a problem with this and I understand your frustration.

    Try the following steps:

    Windows Update - error 0 x 80070020

    Problems with the installation of the updates Windows can occur when Windows Update and another program both try to access the same file. Although many programs may cause this problem to occur, the most common are antivirus programs and perform backups in real time of the file system.

    This section contains several methods that can help you solve the problem. Follow the steps in each method and then try again to install updates. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next method, and follow these steps before you try again to install updates.

    Method 1: Restart your computer and install updates

    Close all programs that are running, and then restart your computer. Once the computer has booted successfully, look in the notification area in the bottom right of the screen for the Windows Update icon. If the icon is available, double-click it, and then install the updates available. If the icon is not available, click Start, click programs principally made and then select Windows Update from the list of applications.

    Method 2: Start the computer in safe mode with networking support and install updates

    Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008

    To start your computer in safe mode in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start
      , and then type msconfig in the box start the search.
    2. In the section programs, click Msconfig.exe.
    3. In the System Configuration dialog box, click the Startup tab.
    4. Click to select the safe boot check box, click Network, and then click OK.

      Note the mode safe mode with networking option does not work for computers that have connections to the Internet. You cannot use the safe mode with network support, because modem drivers and PC Card do not load in safe mode with networking support.

    5. In the System Configuration dialog box, click on restart. The computer will restart in "safe mode with networking mode.
    6. Install the updates.
    7. After you install the update, restart your computer in safe mode, and then click to clear the safe boot check box.
    8. In the System Configuration dialog box, click on restart. This option starts Windows in its normal mode.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem go to method 3.

    Method 3: Perform a clean boot of the computer and then install the update

    Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008

    To perform a clean boot of the computer manually in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start
      type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click on continue.
  • On the general tab, click Selective startup.
  • Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  • Click the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
  • Click OK and then click on restart.
  • Run Microsoft Update or Windows Update. If the update does not correctly, go to method 4.
  • Method 4: Temporarily disable spyware and antivirus software

    WARNING This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this solution to workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion solution. Use this workaround at your own risk.

    To deactivate your software antivirus or antispyware, follow these steps:

    1. Locate your antivirus or antispyware icon in the notification area. You can find the notification area at the bottom right of your screen in the area of the task bar near the clock. The notification area displays the icons of the programs that you are currently running. When you move your pointer over the icons, Windows displays the name of the program.
    2. Right-click on the icon for your antivirus or antispyware, and select Disable Auto-Protect. A red "X" appear on the icon in the notification area to show that the application is now disabled.

      Note the programs Antivirus and anti-spy differ in their operation. If these steps did not help disable you your program, you may contact the help system of your antivirus program for steps that you can use to perform this task. You can usually find the steps of your antivirus program on Internet. To find them, type "disable virus scan", as well as the name of your program antivirus in your favorite search engine and then click search.

    3. Run Microsoft Update or Windows Update.
    4. Turn on (re-enable) your antivirus or antispyware program. To do this, right-click your antivirus or antispyware icon in the notification area, and then click Activate. Antivirus and antispyware products protect your systems from viruses and malicious attacks. Because new viruses are created every day, and your system is vulnerable at any time, it is important to keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware turned on or enabled.

    Method 5: Temporarily disable firewalls

    WARNING This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this solution to workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion solution. Use this workaround at your own risk.

    Disable Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 Firewall

    To temporarily turn off the firewall in Windows Vista, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start
      and then click Control Panel.
    2. Click Security, click Windows Firewall.
    3. Click turn on or off Windows Firewall.
    4. In the Windows Firewall settings window, click on (not recommended), and then click OK.
    5. Run Microsoft Update or Windows Update.

    Note If you run a third-party firewall program, see the documentation for your program for more information on disabling your firewall program.

    Don't forget to turn on your firewall. A firewall protects your computer from malicious users or malicious software attacks. Malicious software includes viruses that use unsolicited incoming network traffic to attack your computer.

    Hi people,

    I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Dave

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

  • Satellite A200-1CR: can I install Vista using my Vista DVD installations?

    Hello

    I would like to get some answers to my questions...

    I have the satellite A200-1CR (PSAE0) and I want to install vista on my own... not with the recovery DVD but I have some serious questions...

    (1) may I have problems during the installation... (Drivers SATA, etc.), problems of BIOS or Toshiba has no restrictions?

    (2) what problem if I erase the secret (winre) partition and what is its purpose?

    (3) if I do a clean install with my DVD with my vista... If I want in a future close that I can use the recovery DVDs I got it or not?

    (4) to the drivers section for my laptop for each part has 5,6,7 or 8 drivers for win vista... which is good, or it's all the same?

    (5) in general, what do you propose? Are there reasons why not to do my format? I did a large number of formats in desktop, but never in the notebooks.

    Sorry if you tired with my questions and sometimes my bad English...
    Thank you in advance...

    Why not.

    As to the question;

    (1) possibly the Vista operating system does not recognize the HARD drive during the installation of the OS. In this case you must install storage Intel Matrix (Robson package) Manager first! It of a driver SATA and can be found on the Toshiba or Intel driver page.

    (2) Windows recovery environment (WinRE) is placed on the hidden partition and it of necessary to restore a damaged operating system.
    The Vista operating system automatically creates the hidden partition and Windows re installing the OS.

    (3) Yes, you can use the Toshiba Recovery CD. But it erases the entire HARD drive always.

    (4) take a newer version

    (5) generally I put t see any reasons to get in shape. The preinstalled Vista operating system has been configured and all the tools of Toshiba, drivers and additional software should work very well.
    I don't recommend a new format if the operating system is working well.

    Good bye
