D missing Windows Vista disk

I had to restore my Acer Extenza to factory default. My C drive works fine but the D drive does not appear in my computer.  In my disk computer management C shows 69,65 GB and there is space "unallocated" showing 79,40 GB. I think this is my D drive, but how can I restore it back so that I can use it again.

Hello

Machines from Acer with Vista have a D: Partition which is called data by Acer.

You normally C: and D: and the recovery partition has been hidden.

They were normally the same partitions of memory size.

step 2 read this link for how to format and use that no allocated space

The other thing you could do is extend C: so that you have a large partition.

Read step 2 here, too.

  • Boot MGR missing, Windows Vista,

    Hey! so I have a Lenovo that runs on windows vista, and it had this nasty virus that I could only remove by resetting my computer back to factory settings (I saved most of my personal files) and if that wasn't bad enough, when I tried to restart my computer it says "Boot MGR is missing, press Ctrl alt delete to restart ' does NOT incidentally , so long story short, to fix it, I need to use the windows vista disc to repair the file, but I don't have the disc, but I have the key phrase that sits on the bottom of my computer when I bought it, so any suggestions regarding How can I come on a windows vista disc or download windows vista so I can burn it to a disc? preference for free because I already OWN Windows Vista?

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    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

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer/laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased 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.

    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.

  • How can I reformat my drive hard when I'm away from my windows vista disk?

    System backup and restore do not work. My windows update does not work.

    I have spyware and viruses that mess my computer. I have to reformat my hard drive and I can't find my windows freakin vista disk.

    So how do reformat you without disk of window vista, I need detailed instructions on how to do this.

    Without an OS disk, Vista or otherwise reformat will not improve your
    situation. You have options that...
     
    a. you can use the integrated recovery of your PC system (if it has one). Often
    It's accessible by repeatedly pressing F12 during restart (you may machine)
    be different). Do not forget to copy on critical files before you implement a
    recovery, or one of the following options...
    b. you can contact your PC manufacturer and ask a set of Vista restore disks to
    as your system to its original state. There may be charges for
    This service.
    c. you can buy a new set of installation of Windows 7.

  • How can I recover missing Windows Vista themes?

    My operating system is vista Home premium, but I realized it lacked the themes except the classic windows theme. How can I get these themes in return?

    There is no separate download for the themes that come with Vista.  If they are missing, the only way to recover is to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    There are many other themes Vista free available online that you can download and use instead if you don't want to do the repaiir/upgrade or if you do not have access to a facility genuine Windows Vista disc and therefore cannot make the repair/upgrade.  Perhaps alternatives theee will be sufficient.  Here's a search for free Vista themes you can check and see if they will satisfy you: http://www.bing.com/search?q=Free%20Vista%20themes&mkt=en-us&FORM=TOOLBR&DI=6244&CE=14.0&CM=SearchWeb.

  • Hi all, I need professional windows vista disk

    I have uninstall windows vista and distribution now I don't know how I can install and download windows vista business please help me

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    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 find anywhere if there is a default value for the disk cleanup in Windows Vista. I have these two, I've never seen before and I don't know if I should check them or not. They are by the Windows error reporting archived user and system archived Windows Error reporting. These are files used for error reporting and solution checking.  I CHECK THESE FOR MORE DISK SPACE?

    Yes. Look in Control Panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (type

  • Missing Windows Vista key

    Hello

    I recently visited Tiger Direct to remove a virus from my dv6000 (bought new at HP in 2008). They advised that it was better to wipe my system and reload everything, so I let that happen. Now I like my version of Windows is not genuine and to enter my product key, but my Windows the license sticker on the bottom of my laptop is unreadable. I went back to Tiger Direct and they said that HP would be able to give me a Vista key if I gave them the serial number on my laptop. Is this true? I would really like to have my fully operational windows in return and am not currently able to upgrade to another operating system.

    You have to get a set of recovery disks which normally do not need to enter a product key.

  • Windows Vista disk space eat my available hard!

    Hello

    I run Vista on VMWare Fusion on my Mac, but every time I use it I see my hs 'GB available' (displayed at the bottom of each Finder window) has increased of 1 and 2 GB.

    I'm not instant and the size of the prompt in the folder Documents/Virtual MachinesWindows Vista.vmwarevm remains unchanged at about 28GB.

    I use VMWare 2.0.5 and Snow Leopard.

    Can someone advise?

    Thank you!

    Yes very easy.  Vista is started, it creates a swap file.  Given the unknown parameters in this equation, the memory is low, and so you need to swap the memory to disk.  More, you run the virtual machine, the pagefile over.

    Stop Vista, but the VMDK increments until the full complement you configured, and eventually it will get to a point where it will not 'push' but I don't know how much space you started with, the amount of RAM that you gave the VM of Vista, and we do not know the State of the file between stops.
