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.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

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.

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.

No Option to install repair - SAD
HelloWhy Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.
I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD. Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista. I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it. I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ". Neither of which has helped in my situation. Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP. That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.
As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor. I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me. This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista. Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system. I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally. I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.
Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation. Even MS Office has a routine repair. Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ". If not, why?
-Todd w.
"Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."
«.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »
As Todd, is the answer."This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.
"I thought that this area was a place to really get answers instead of the ole same"answers of bs that are on all the other forums."
If you want to have input on the future of Microsoft operating systems, then help you beta-test and provide feedback to the developers. Windows 7 and IE 8 are currently in beta.
Another possible place you could make suggestions which could see the developers would be:

Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2
The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.
For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.
What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.
All the world has noticed this problem?

If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:
As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.
As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.
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.
You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

Hello
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.
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
See if you have a recovery Partition:
There may be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Vista to how you bought your computer, unless the pirated installation wiped.
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.
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
