Corrupt Vista - > Downgrade to XP - > Windows 7 upgrade

My desktop PC with Vista Ultimate 64-bit OEM version won't start. It loads up to: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys. Message error "BootMGR image is damaged. The system cannot start. "I tried a Vista startup disk, but it has not yet loaded. Option of safe mode did not load either.

I bought this new PC built by someone who sold online. It came with Vista Ultimate 64-bit OEM already installed without disk.

So now I downgrade to Windows XP Professional, that came with my old PC and then upgrade to Windows 7 (thinking I could save money). However, Setup does not start when I insert the disc. It makes a noise in the disk drive, so I don't think it's broken. BIOS recognizes the device.

My questions are:

Is that devices are not compatible with the XP installation?

Is it always the same problem if I buy a full version of Windows 7 and you are trying to install on Vista?

Material:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3

CPU: IntelR Core? processor 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 4 MB Cache)

HARD DRIVE: HITACHI H3D5001672S SATA 500 GB 16 MB 7200 RPM

and Elixir M2Y2G64TU8HD5B - AC 2 GB x 2

I would appreciate help.

Here's the test tools that I use on every PC I am building for my own use. I suggest that you run one less that I have indicated in bold. Some have versions of bootable CD, so no operating system is necessary.

Also check the BIOS as the DVD player need to be the first boot device. I've included the link to download the manual of Gigabyte's site:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2843#manual

Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

First try running Memtest86 +, that runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or
confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • Vista Home premium OEM Windows 7 upgrade

    Members of the community of dear MS,

    I have two laptop PCs, they are all two Dell Inspiron 6400 and 1525 running Windows Vista Home premium.

    I intend to have these two computers, but both work very well while they are slow.

    I think Windows 10 upgrade because I am convinced that the operating system can give the best operation of resources even with older components.

    Before moving to Windows 10, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 so that I can get a free upgrade for Windows 10.

    Given that my two laptops are the OEM of Vista Home premium version and the Dell product key does not work to activate Windows 7.

    Can I ask for help to advise what I can do now?

    If I need to pay for an update to obtain Windows 7 Home Edition Basic, can advise please how I can pay for it.

    Thanks for your help and advice.

    Best regards

    Brian

    I know that this issue has been addressed, but with the thrust of MS to get everyone on Windows 10, I thought that I would like to ask a few questions.  I have two new computers as well on Windows and 10 a tablet on the 8.1.  The tablet will not load Windows 10... something that disappoints me.

    But the reason of this post is that I also have a HP laptop, 5 years always on Vista.  The operating system has a lot of files corrupted with sfc / was unable to trouble.  Now, it takes a lot of time to start from a complete stop.

    Then... I want to upgrade to a new OS Ms. .or this trade for a new Apple.  (The thing about Apple is just trying to compare how it compares to Windows 10 on my Asus and Dell computers.

    But if I can improve this old computer... .well, then I have will continue to use it and forget about Apple at the moment.

    What can I do?  Can I upgrade to Windows 10?  Should I buy Windows 7?  I would like to reload Vista, but I think that MS will not continue to support.

    Someone can help me understand how to repair this laptop and is an update worth it?

    Hello

    Extended support is very good.

    You still get your updates, but there will be no more updates to the operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Here is the information you requested:

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  • Upgrade of Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Can I switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit?

    Upgrade paths:
    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
