  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  See how best suits you.

  This can help you:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  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 have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  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.

  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.

  Hello

  Why you didn t create a DVD recovery Toshiba at the beginning?

  In my view, there is info in the user manual and a notification that recovery HARD disk image should be burnt on the DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  I don't know if you will be able to reinstall Vista now without buying the DVD of recovery of m.

  Try to boot the computer and press the F8 key. Usually a start menu should appear providing some options. The first option called fix my computer will allow you to reinstall Vista. But I doubt that this option is now available after installation of XP!

  This is why you last chance would be a recovery DVDs you can buy here:

  Hello

  There is no vista download for free and legally on the net

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact HP and ask them to send you in recovery vista disc to reinstall the operating system back as it was when new

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

  Solve a common problem of recovery with HP machines.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

• Can I use a product key Vista Business OEM with retail Vista Business install disc on the original OEM computer?

  In fact, I have two questions:

  [1] my niece has a HP laptop with a sticker of the OEM Vista Business product key on the bottom. She has no HP restore disks or something like that. The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business. Can I use its product key with my Vista disks professional retail to install Vista on her computer? It is the key to correct OEM, original to this computer product.

  If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

  No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
  "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

  and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

  Something new, or it never does to start XP?

  (empty blue screen with the mouse pointer, not go further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business.

  No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
  product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
  Upgrade and family or professional.

  If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

  Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
  files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
  etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
  should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.

• Can I use a copy of HP OEM of Windows XP on a computer not HP after got rid of HP?

  I have a HP PC with Windows XP pre-installed. Recently, we got rid of this PC. I realized that this restore CD was windows 7 on it. Is there a way I can use this copy of windows on a machine no HP.

  No, you cannot because

  1. If it came from HP is an OEM copy and the license for an OEM version limited to the first computer, on which it is installed.

  2 leaving aside the issue of licensing, it can not even install on a different motherboard. If it came from HP, it can be locked the original motherboard BIOS.

• Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

  Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

  Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
  I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

  Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

  If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

  I try to copy matrial of word to my email I can't do.

  How can I activate this copy paste.
  There is no virus in my computer.

  Thanks for your reply...

  Try doing a system restore.
  I've seen a few threads you posted here in the forum and I think that there is something wrong with your operating system.
  Therefore, the easiest way to solve this would be a new installation of the operating system.
