can't get back into windows after a system restore

I ran a system restore on my desktop running windows vista edition Home premium 64-bit. half way through my screan saver restoration opened and collapsed the restoration ended. After a few hours I shut down the computer. now when I start my pc it runs all preliminary functions and allows me to choose to either start windows failure, safe with fast back or normal mode. If I choose the mode safe mode (with or without back) through a loading phase where it shows everybody that it loads, it stops on a cdc.dsk file, and then processes to a black screan. If I choose load windows normally it goes to a black screan. the windows vista I have is one that came with the pc, so I don't have the disks to run. is it possible to fix this or did I just turn a pc $1500 in a very expensive papper weight?

 

 

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

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.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

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 if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop 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

  • I can't get my computer to do a system restore

    I have tryied and tried to get my computer to do a system restore it keeps sayinmg I have no admin privalages what I do

    If you have a computer that isn't yours, so the best approach is to re - install Windows on this computer and try again.  If it's a recent computer OEM (HP, Dell, Compaq, etc.) then you can probably hit one of the keys 'Fx' when the initial splash screen appears and tells you which key to press to "system it" (or use installation provided by the manufacturer discs).  Go to the support page for your computer manufacturer's website and download the manual for your computer.  It should instruct you on how to reinstall Windows.

    Otherwise, you will need to login with an account with administrator privileges to make the changes you want to make.  This forum is a Microsoft supported and, therefore, we must follow the policy of Microsoft - including those about lost or forgotten passwords...

    I did not create a recovery, because the password was easy, now, it does not work.

    If Shawn method does not resolve your problem, you can use this method:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
  • Went to 10 Windows, can't get back to Windows 7

    I downloaded Windows 10 on my Dell Optiplex GX520 Windows 7 computer and I didn't like Windows 10 so I tried to go back to Windows 7 the next day.  Something went wrong and now my computer will not boot at all. I think I need a full system reinstall.  Microsoft will pay for this?  Or Microsoft will send me a disc re-setup simple-to-use with all the necessary drivers?

    Microsoft will not pay to reinstall the system, nor the resettlement of discs with all the necessary drivers.

  • What is the safest way to get back to Windows 7 from Windows 10?

    Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.  Open windows yesterday and it is automatically upgraded to Windows 10. To my dismay, some of the files just disappeared. I do have Windows 10!   What is the safest way to get back to Windows 7?   Restore help?

    Hello

    first go to your c drive and find the folder called windows, old.

    In this folder, you can find all your documents, photo ect. who are on your windows operating system 7.

    I suggest to first make a backup of the files you want to keep on an external drive or a drive of Pentecost copy paste, to be sure of not lost.

    to return to your old windows 7:

    go to settings - updated and security - recovery - get back into windows 7

    Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
    everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
    try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
    like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

    If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
    back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
    (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
    Two other points/questions:

    1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
    approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
    work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

    2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
    photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
    the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

    My computer have Windows reloaded and now I can't access my e-mail stored previously in Windows Mail. How can I get back them?

    You can try to search for *.eml, but if the disk has been formatted first, they will not be there.  The files are also hidden, so make sure that you enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also check with those who 'reloaded' of Windows to see if they have backed up your data first.

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information on the message to save the data.

  • I clicked on work offline in Windows Live Mail. Now, I can't get back online

    I clicked on work offline in Windows Live Mail. Now I can't get back online, regardless of how many times I click go online. When I first open Windows Live Mail he asks me if I want to go online. I say yes, and then he asked a second time if I want to go online. Yet once again, I say Yes. I can't always online.

    Open Internet Explorer, and then press Alt + F to open the file menu. If work offline is selected, deselect it. If it is not selected, select it, wait a few moments and then deselect. Now check if Windows Live Mail is still offline. If this is the case, repeat the cycle to select/deselect in IE until WLMail Gets the message.
