  Hello KyleConner,

  If your hard drive is 'broken', replace it.

  Get recovery discs to reinstall Vista from your computer manufacturer.

  They do it for a small fee.

  If you need just to reinstall Vista on the same hard drive, ask the manufacturer of the computer how to use their recovery process which must be copied to the hard drive.

  Common methods are to press F10 or F11 etc, to start to begin the recovery process, IF the hard disk is not damaged.

• Can't reinstall Vista. Because Vista will not get to the Setup screen.

  Hi people. Got a prob a little. Vista stopped booting the other night. So, I tried safe mode, and it hung on crcdisk.sys. So, I decided to get in shape. Problem is, it will boot from the DVD, but will not load / access the Setup screen (I waited for 7-8 minutes and nothing's happened, shows just the thing with the green bar).

  Not too sure if it's because the hard drive is 1 TB (but Vista was on the same front hdd with Windows 7). I tried to remove the 2 GB of ram (I use 4). No go. Tried another DVD rom, not go. Removed USB devices that have been connected. No go. I know that the DVD itself is fine. I tried on the other PC here, the installation screen came within 2-3 minutes. But his is not a 1 to (its 250 GB) the only DVD that will work / I install is the Windows 7 DVD.  So, how can I reinstall Vista?

  I deleted all partitions / recreated with the Win7 installation as well. Still couldn't get Vista to get to the Setup screen

  Any info appreciated

  Thank you

  Finally fixed it. I read that USB legacy can also cause this. So, I disabled it. Everything is good. Managed to get to the Setup screen, then reinstall Vista

• I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now.

  I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now. I understand that the original CD would have been pre-activated and this one isn't. I don't have the original disks and the computer did not have a recovery partition. I used an original cd of OEM Vista Home Premium x 64 make the re - install. When I try to activate windows, there is no option to not activate by phone and when I try to change the key he said is not a valid Vista key, if it is the original on the case. I tried to use slui.exe 4 to get the activation of the phone, but I had the screen normal activation that I'm used to without phone option.

  What should I do here? I don't want to pay for the new disks or reinstall again if I have to...
  original title: not activate Windows Vista OEM

  After talking with Microsoft, I am very pleased and impressed by their service.

  What the tech says the key to the case only lights up if the installation came from the disc from the factory, I did not and is no longer available from the manufacturer. They I generated a new key which also did not work because it does not correspond with the oem Setup, I used.
  Now they're sending me a new copy of Vista Home Premium retail toll-free sales. I'll have to reinstall clean, but I'm fine with that in the circumstances.

  Now I can't get service pack 1 to install, and now windows automatic update keeps failing because it is assuming that I have service pack 2.  Also have problems with acrobat reader and some random programs.  What can I do?

• Help me get my files after that I reinstalled Vista I can't HELP Please

  Hello: I just reinstall Vista yes I know I can't afford a Mac, in the cher, my question is "HOW can I GET THE FILES FROM the OLDER VERSION OF windows. I lost all my music and other important files. Thanks for your time

  If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

  You can try this program:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

  Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

• I paid for software that is not downloadable, because I have vista. Can I get a refund from Microsoft?

  I paid for software that is not downloadable, because I have vista. Can I get a refund from Microsoft?

  Hello

  This is not Microsoft

  you don't say what the name of the software

  and there's an old saying: "buyer beware."

  and read this;

  always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator

  It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode

  This does not work for all programs

  read the information below

  How can I reinstall vista on a coming under xp?

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

  Forget the two laptops.
  I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
  The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

  Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

  Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
  Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

  It is their software.

  Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

  You say that the hard drive has failed.

  He could have more than just tough that failed.
  You can have other hardware issues.

• Is it possible to get the files for windows vista, so I can reinstall my system?

  Hello

  Im a user of linux on one machine HP Pavilion dv5-1095eo leisure. IM tired to restart my machine to run a windows OS, so is possible for me to get the files for windows vista. I got the windows key attached under the computer and I don't have any windows CD when I brought the machine.

  Hello:

  You can do your own installation disc Vista too if you wish.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

• After reinstalling vista and get the updates, I've "lost" more than 10 GB on my hard drive

  can anyone help? After reinstalling vista and by then setting automatic updates, I find after the download and installation of updates that I "lost" more than 10 GB on my drive hard, why is that?

  Updates must be stored somewhere, and installed somewhere 10 GIG is in the normal range.  Did you do a disk cleanup?

  have you saved or set a restore point?  It has been a decade since I used Vista, but I think that any time you install something made Vista a restore point.

• Reinstall Vista

  Hi, I need to reinstall Vista on a Compaq laptop that came with Vista pre-installed. I have an office work of HP with Vista, with recovery disks. These discs work on the laptop? If this is not the case, can I transfer Vista laptop desk? I have registration for the two data.   Thanks Geoff

  Hello

  Not preinstalled Vista licenses can be transferred from a HP desktop to a laptop HP Compaq computer, for so you can not use the recovery disks from the desktop to reinstall Vista on the laptop, because these recovery disks are specifically for the office.

  And preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) Vista OEM licenses licenses are and are not transferable from one computer to the other.

  OEM licenses are tied to the first machine on which they are installed and the OEM license dies when the machine dies.

  If you never received a disc or make your own recovery disc for the laptop, press F11 at startup on your laptop to start the process of recovery for her.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how it works:

  "Performing a recovery of the system HP (Windows Vista)"

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?CC=au&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c00809678

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
