• Where to get the Windows vista recovery disk to do a clean install?

  Where can I get the windows vista for any new installation disk. Both my recovery disk & HDD crashed. I had windows vista preinstalled.

  Hello

  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:

  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• Our daughter gave us his laptop HP that has no disk recovery or installation disk. There is now a message that the hal.dll is missing. Can I buy a Vista installation disk and fix it?

  Windows Vista crashed, and we do not have the original installation disc for Vista. Can you buy Vista Ultimate and proceed to install it?

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstal 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

  with HP normally press you F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  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

• What is the difference between my "reinstallation DVD' and a 'Windows Vista Installation disk'

  In a thread on repair Vista (link below), "a real Windows Vista Installation disc" has been claimed. Laptop Dell Inspiron 1525, my wife took a Dell DVD "Reinstalling Windows Vista Home Premium 32 BIT SP1 - DVD".

  Are they equivalent?

  In general, yes your reinstall Dell drive is identical to a disc to install Windows genuine.

  The differences are not applicable for the repair procedure. (FYI - Toshiba and HP Vista, the disks cannot be used to perform a repair install, while gateway disks will work for Vista)

• Do I need a Vista installation disk to use the Windows 7 upgrade option?

  Hi guys,.
  I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
  I'm currently running Vista 64 bit and you want to upgrade to Windows 7.
  I'm looking to upgrade and full version options.
  I'm looking to do a clean install.
  My question is, if I buy a version upgrade of Windows 7 need me a Vista installation disc to allow it?
  My PC came pre loaded with Vista, so I don't have an installation disc.
  Thank you
  
  Emma

  A copy of the full license of Windows 7 would be transferable to a computer without an operating system until it has been completely removed from the first.

  I highly recommend that you buy a copy of the full license since you think you might buy a personal computer.

  The upgrade copy would not be transferable to a new computer unless the new computer already had a copy of installed Windows on what qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 7.

• 'Upgrade' from Vista to Windows 7 without a clean install

  Is it possible to upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I searched through the forums and most of the responses seem to confuse "upgrade" with "clean install". I bought the Windows 7 upgrade in order to keep all of my existing programs and settings in place not re - install everything from the beginning.

  Is it possible to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7? If this isn't the case, then I don't see how Microsoft can claim to offer a "upgrade path". I don't think a "clean install" is the generally accepted definition of an upgrade.

  It is NOT possible!

• Lost the installation disk, system needs to re - install.  Now what?

  I run cs2 and recently got a dialog box reinstall arise.

  I can navigate is more the function help or updates.

  My installation disc was lost in the process of several movements.

  How or if I can get a new drive?

  You will need to contact Adobe. You will need to provide proof of purchase, unless you had registered with your installation and they have on disk. I'm not sure that they provide discs in CS2, but that's all I know to try. You may be out of luck if you don't save, or that they have more drives for CS2.

• Installation disk hard second - "Uninitialized" says and will not let me format

  In disk management, I see my new drive hard second 1 TB.  It recognizes the 931,51 Go drive, unallocated.  When I walk through the process to configure a partition and format, I get the following error message:
  "The operation cannot be performed because the disk is not initialized."

  I must have missed a step, but reading that I did it is not clear to me what I missed.  Help?

  Thanks in advance.  Branden

  Figured it out.  The player appeared in the red list a small arrow down through the disc.  By right clicking on the arrow pointing down, they gave me the option to "initialize disk".  Now am going forward with the formatting process.  Confused, but hope someone saves some time.
