After you have reinstalled windows Vista is full and my recovery disk (d :))

When I restart my computer, it seems that I have now 2 versions of Vista installed on the D: drive but Boot Manager does not let me start the 2nd version - how can I delete this version without removing the working version?

It cannot be, if this is the case, you have just two entries to startup, and isn't a working installation. To delete the boot entry, you don't want to, follow these steps:

Click Start, type: msconfig.exe

Press enter on your keyboard

Go to the Startup tab

Select the entry, and then click Remove

Click apply and OK

When you are prompted, restart the computer.

  • Recovery of Outlook Contacts after you have reinstalled Windows Vista

    I had to reinstall Windows Vista for a variety of reasons.  I use Windows Backup and Restore Center to back up all personal files, send an email and contacts to an external hard drive.  For some reason, I can't find or recover the e-mail contacts that I had saved before reinstalling.  Y at - there a trick to this?  They were also not in the Windows.old file that I could tell.  Help, please. Thank you.

    Robert

    Well I thought about it.  I had to physically locate the .pst file in about 2 weeks on the external hard drive.  I copied and pasted in my user profile.  Then he imported in Outlook.  All emails and contacts restored.  I knew there was a way to do it.

  • My product key is not be accepted after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

    Using product keys Vista reinstallation (OEM)

    I reinstalled Vista after failing to fix some registry errors. I threw down the front product key I have re-installed, but it's a product key which is not accepted by MSFT.  Instead of 25 numbers as it requires, I wrote a 20 (and part it says OEM).

    It's good to upgrade to a version XP OEM Windows Vista and upgrade CD is not a product key. The XP CD has a product key, but of course Vista is not accepting it.  Apparently Vista stops working in 20 days, if I activate it. What is the product code I can use!

    Not worth it!

    Obviously the disk did not contain certificates appropriate for the key.

    Your SLIC table seems to be the appropriate injector to install a Vista, rather than installing a XP, so a recovery disk Dell to Vista so that the machine can very well work - and is much less expensive than buying a new license.

    Your best option, if it comes to having to purchase a new license, is to buy a copy of Windows 7 upgrade, it would be cheaper that a full version of Vista from Dell and would be transferable to another machine if he died. ($120 MS for Home Premium upgrade of XP/Vista). You can check compatibility first, just in case there is a problem - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  • can I recover the files and settings after you have reinstalled windows vista

    Hello, I just reinstalled vista on computer laptop lm to correct some problems there at - it a way to recover my files from my old windows vista formatting hope that makes sence lol thanks of ;)

    You can retrieve your personal files, but not the settings, even if you could look under AppData in the Windows.old and copy them to their respective directory in the installation of Windows Vista work.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • After you have reinstalled Windows Vista, you receive an error my key is only for updates and installs not clean the device.

    Activation problem

    I reinstalled Vista (upgrade), when I try to check and enter my product key, it says "only for the upgrade not a clean install.  On the activation screen, it shows all telephone support option.  Thanks for any help!

    This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

    Restore the copy of Windows you improved the first time and then move on to Vista.

  • Activation problem of license after you have reinstalled Windows of Geek Squad

    I had a massive virus and went to Geek Squad to the wipe/rebuild the computer.  The new Vista now asks me to activate windows, but I don't have the product keys.  Can you help me with either a general product key or let me know what I need to fix this problem.  Whenever the computer is on he asks me to activate windows.

    Hi ChannelPro11,

    You are asked to provide a product key? If the windows are simply say you must activate windows then just click the icon to activate, select this option to activate via the internet and the system must activate. If, on the other hand, a message comes up saying 'key product already in use', this means that you have already activated using this key and activate this time, you need to call the Windows activation line - see this link from my Web site:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    If, however, you are prompted to enter a product key, then the key must be to the rear of the PC or the bottom if it's a laptop. If you still can not find, or the number based on the PC does not return to the Geek Squad and tell them to sort out the problem for you. They fixed it so it should be in full working condition when you get back. And I mean 'complete order' with a full copy enabled operating system. You took it to repair a copy fully activated in Windows, so you expect him back with a fully enabled (and of course functional) copy of the operating system.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • After you have reinstalled windows xp, I lost my audio devices of the system

    I plugged in a new usb mouse and hub 4way in my computor screen went blue, wgen she is back on I had no control of the mouse. I plugged the old mouse, the screen was frozen. Ishut down and rebooted but nothing works. I reinstalled windows xp butnow I have not any showwing audio device connected. the motherboard is foxcom

    You has not LOST the device if you have installed new XP Windows.  You simply do not have the device for device drivers, Windows XP can actually communicate with the device.

    You will need to download and install all THE drivers for hardware devices.  Motherboard chipset, audio, video, networks, printers, scanners, cameras and so forth.

    "Foxcom" tells us nothing and is only part of the story.  In order to get the drivers, you will need to know each device you have (or at least the make and model of the motherboard or computer as a whole.)

  • After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

    I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

    I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

    After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

    In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

    Standard VGA graphics card

    BCM20702AO

    Ethernet controller

    Network controller

    PCI device

    PCI Simple Communications controller

    SM Bus controller

    Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

    I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

    Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
