Can I do a Vista reinstall the CD to my D: partition?

I have a used computer with a registered copy of Vista. I have no installation CD. I would like to renew my installation. Is it possible to copy and zip my partition D: reinstalling on the same OS formatted partition?

Contact the manufacturer of your computer for the exact way to do it.

How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

In addition, ask them how to use the recovery on your computer/laptop Partition to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

Or 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.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

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

    Hello

    If you have a recovery partition likely has been cleared by installing Windows 7.

    You can try the recovery partition, no guarantees.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  • How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

    Hello

    I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
    When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

    But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
    I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

    How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

    I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

    If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
    Shane

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

  • I can uninstall Lightroom CC and reinstall the different drive?

    I just installed Lightrrom CC, that installed on my C: drive. I didn't know that the software was more 1.4 gbs and as such he filled my C: drive. In the past, I always installed Lightroom on a different drive, which is my preference. Reliable I can uninstall it from my C: drive and I'll be able to reinstall on my favorite drive? I thought that it is better to ask first rather than Lightroom removing and hoping that I could then access the download link to reinstall on another drive.

  • Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

    Hello

    I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

    Please I need help with this question

    Thank you

    While there is no limit on how many contacts you can have on your device, there is a soft limit that you can have as many times as the memory of your device can handle. Check the available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If this isn't the case, then consider cleaning out / uninstallation of some things that you don't need to increase the memory available to more contacts.
