After the reinstallation of Vista (32 bit) I'm done with Windows and most of the stuff on the disk 1 (c), but with stuff on the disk 2 (d).
original title: after reinstallation of Vista (32 bit), I found myself with Windows and most of the stuff on the disk 1 (c), but with stuff on the disk 2 (d). It's hard to backup.
I wish all the disk 0, which is 250 GB, leaving the 1 free 500 GB disc to have been the repository of backup and archiving of others. But I don't want to have to reinstall everything. I couldn't move bootmgr, BOOTSECT. BAK and 'boot' folder on the disk 1 (c) by somehow the system partition? Then there would be no OS stuff on disk 0 (D :); back, but better than mixed.) What happens if I disconnect physically the smallest disk, Startup Repair will make the disc with Windows boot and system partitions? Thank you.
Hi OldScientist,
Before performing these steps, it is recommended to make a backup of your important data.
Step 1: Mark Disk 1 (C) as active partition, then launch Startup Repair
Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to mark C as active partition
Mark a partition as active
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/mark-a-partition-as-active
Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to launch the Startup Repair tool
If the problem persists,
Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below to rebuild the BCD (Boot Configuration data)
Error message when you start Windows Vista: "the Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information".

Vista 32 bit Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7
I have been using Windows Vista, 32-bit, Home Premium with success. Recently, it has been suggested to me that I had to upgrade to Windows 7. I want to keep, at least, I currently have the same capabilities. I have a few questions.
1. because I don't want to back up or modify files or programs, is it wise to upgrade to Windows 7, 32 bit, Home Premium?
2. in the case, which version do you recommend?
3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?
4. If not should I buy in a store? Could you recommend one?
5 is it complicated to install? Do you know a good site that could help me to install it?
6. Finally you would give a price range that I have to pay?
I know this has been long, but it seems to be a complex issue.
Thank you very much for your time and your support.
Sincerely,
Jim Nolan

Yes.
2. in the case, which version do you recommend?
N/A
3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.
Try Amazon.com., etc.
4. If not should I buy in a store? Could you recommend one?
As above.
5 is it complicated to install? Do you know a good site that could help me to install it?

6. Finally you would give a price range that I have to pay?
Windows 7 has become very expensive due to its rarity.

I have windows vista using 32 bit how I up date and rotate faster is it running at 2.1? my desktop and laptop are running on the same why so my office so slow?
Hello
are you referring to the windows experience index?
If so this number is determined by the material that uses your computer
Make sure you have the latest vista drivers for your computer which you can get your computer manufacturers Web site
go to their website and look for a driver and software download section
Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install
If that improves not there you need to upgrade the hardware: map graphic or RAM
the total number is determined by the lowest number of material
