• How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

  Hello
   
  I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

  How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

  Thanks in advance!

  You can borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• Xc0000225 Boot\BCD error 0 after factory restore

  So I recently did a restore of the configuration system once the OS has been fairly well watered on the PC of my mother.  I don't know what someone did to her the last time that they 'fixed', but kept getting tons of errors and do not load the system under profiles admin processes.

  The FIRST restory facotry was 'OK' he reinstalled the operating system, but unfortunately, a lot of mistakes that were there before, were still there this time... I thought it was weird... So I did another restore to factory image...

  That's when things went downhill even faster. Now, he is yet to start windows and I get errors xc0000225 Boot\BCD 0 right on turn on the machine after loading the BIOS...

  I started in the recovery partition and pulled the top quite prompt a chkdsk, which returned well... google the error and the attempt bootrec /rebuildbcd - he found the BONES, I have a key and press ENTER, restarted with fingers crossed and got the same error...  Tried to do /scanos bootrec after that, just to see if it took, and it did not find the OS...

  I googled some more and he was leading define me active partitions and all that... which makes me nervous in doing this... By looking at the partitions, the two were leaving them C: & D: are defined as 'primary', which I think might be a problem? But not sure... and fear to disconnected D: partition as primary, in the case where I need to start again in the recovery disk...

  I made another return to settings repair factory (maybe I should stop doing those?) ... and it is me giving the erorr and bootrec /scanos find the installtion windows on the C: drive. do you have an other /rebuildbcd and rebooted... even the boot errors... have you an other /scanos after that... once again not stated no identified windows installation.

  If the thoughts? Should I do another restore, then work with partitions?

  Hello

  Unfortunately it would look as the volume is indeed corrupt, which coupled with the error of the DST, would tend to confirm that the drive has indeed failed.

  Now my best suggestion would be to contact HP immediately and get the HARD drive replaced under warranty - make sure you always have a set of recovery discs/media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive, if you have not, you should be able to order it at the same time.

• Dual boot win xp and win vista

  I use a computer with 2 partitions on my hard drive.  The first one has vista 64 bit on it...

• Black Vista screen falls down randomly and sometimes at startup

  My problem seems to be quite unique =

  I sometimes get a black screen crash when you play WoW, and sometimes Vista will not start and lead me to a black screen at startup.  These problems can be corrected by restarting the computer - there are however sometimes many restarts to get the system starts again.

  IV tried to update my video card, my monitor drivers drivers, cleaning of my drive C, did a LOT of research google about the problem as possible and I'm not sure what the cause is right, it could be a videocard related, or maybe not.

  I am running Windows Vista x 64 Home.
  Modern stuff Quad Core CPU, 8 GB of Ram.

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

  To be able to remove ALL and reinstall all memory cards and cables (both ends) - actually delete
  and replace - do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the vents. Check that the
  fans of work (before and after opening the case). If a laptop on what you can do is reinstall
  memory and clean the ventilation openings (still may try to add a small fan as a test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.
