Hello

After you have lost your product key shrinks your methods

key finder programs won't asssit you if it is preinstalled

Here are the different ways let you reinstall vista;

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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

    You don't say where you got the OEM Windows 7 license of.

    If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

    If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  • Where can I get the Toshiba Tecra A9 for tools after formatting the HARD drive?

    Hello.
    I bought a laptop Tecra A9 with Vista Business. I would format because there are a lot of tools and programs on it the notebook already that I didn't need, and it's very slow.

    There is a "hidden partition", but if I use it to recover it installs all tools and software.
    Fortunately, there was a DVD of Vista Business in the area.
    So I would use that one.

    Now my question: some of the tools (Toshiba HDD protection, Fingerprint-Software) seem useful and I would like to reinstall as soon as he runs again. Where can I download them? I only found the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    > Fortunately, there was a DVD of Vista Business in the area. So I would use that one.

    It's very strange because I know Toshiba laptops are supplied only with the Toshiba Recovery CD and not an original CD of Microsoft Vista.
    If you want to use this recovery CD, you will get the same OS preinstalled with all the drivers and tools such as at the beginning.

    In my opinion, you should remove all simply not necessary tools and operating system utilities and don t install the OS again!
    For registry cleaning, I recommend using the freeware program called CCleaner!

    Good bye

  • can I take a copy of OEM Vista Home and install it in VirtualPC after upgrade to 7

    One of my computers came with Vista 64-bit Home Premium edition. I've since upgraded to 7 and have defined as a dual boot so I can support others using Vista.
    Is it possible to extract the installation of the "recovery partition" files on my system and instead to install Vista as a virtual machine, so I can get rid of the dual boot and free space hard disk Vista care? I can install applications on the virtual machine if necessary.

    I have VMWare and Virtual PC installed.

    So, to summarize, I have 3 questions.

    1. is it legal to use a preinstalled OEM copy of Vista like that, or is it considered using it on another machine? I use it on main technical terms on the same machine, he came, but with Winodows 7 as OS these days.

    2. will I have difficulty to activate? It probably allows to detect the hardware like VMware or Virtual PC instead of a gateway DX4200 something (I forgot and don't feel like diving under the desk to look at).

    3. How can I go about extracting the installation files to do this? I really need instructions in the procedure.
    It's mostly a question of «how to make a Vista installation from the recovery partition CD»

    Hello

    your OEM license is related to the hardware in your computer where it was installed at the factory

    a virtual machine facility is different from the normal resettlement that is required for the Activation of the OEM license

    Contact Gateway for how to make recovery disks

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft

    You should find information here:

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml

    _________________________________________________

    and if you use a vista license to upgrade you cannot use this license vista to reinstall vista anywhere else

    It is part of the upgrade and is related to the installation of upgrade

    __________________________________________________

    and installation on a virtual machine is counted as a facility

    on the same machine a license = one Installation is still the rule

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  • Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

    I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

    Hi Allisonerik,

    (1) what happens when you try to restore?

    (2) you get an error message?

    (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

    I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • How can I request a new version of camera raw in lightroom 2

    How can I request a new version of camera raw to ambient light 2. My OS is windows 7

    Adobe Camera Raw is built into Lightroom and is not a 'plugin' that is upgraded separately.  To upgrade to a new version of Camera Raw, you must upgrade to a new version of LR.  Here you can see the latest version of LR: Adobe - Lightroom: for Windows . You can download and install the latest version of LR 2 (2.7, 4/2010) free.  But if you want to later versions of Camera Raw, you'll need to buy a new version of LR.

    I am running Acrobat 7 on my old desktop and now bought a new system. I do not have the original installation disks, but it is a saved copy and appears in my Adobe.  Can I download a new installation and then disable the old installation and activate the new installation on the new computer?

    Thank you

    Acro 7 is not compatible with Win 7, in any case, what you are doing would be a waste of time. Upgrade to Acrobat X or for time using reader and another creation of PDF and editing tools.

    'Product Key' is probably what you mean.

    You buy it in a store by itself (Windows Vista Home Basic which is) or is it installed on your computer?

    If you bought autonomous - it is the case of DVD that the DVD is in.  If it came pre-installed, it is on a sticker pasted on your machine.
