• Failure to reinstall Vista, now my laptop will not boot.

  Hi, first off thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, which I've tried to reinstall Vista, installation seemed to go fine until what seemed the last step where it says "installation complete" how it seemed to make no progress even after a few hours.  Then, I turned off my laptop and rebooted.  Once restarted, it I got a message saying that the installation has failed and it had rendered Vista how it was before the installation.  Then I tried to install Vista for a second time and had the same thing happen, the only difference being that the first time when asked if I wanted to connect to the internet to get updates when installing I said no, and the second time, I said yes.

  After the installation failed for the second time I tried to restart and my laptop could not start, she doesn't have to the Windows screen with the Green scroll bar on the bottom.  I then tried to start in safe mode, and it failed when trying to load crcdisk.sys.  I read that some people with similar problems have been able to boot from the Vista cd, but I had no chance.

  The cd I use is a condition by Dell that says that it is the reinstallation of Vista cd and I have to mention that the optical drive in my laptop stopped working earlier, to remedy this I used an external drive connected via USB.

  I'm stumped on how to solve this problem and what information I found via google has not worked or confuse me helped me more.

  Thank you
  -Mike

  If you continue to have problems with the process of recovery of Dell, contact Dell.

  It's their recovery process, NOT from Microsoft.

  Here's how to use their recovery process:

  Dell recovery options:

  I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through.  Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

  Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

  Forget the two laptops.
  I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
  The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

  Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

  It is their software.

  Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

  You say that the hard drive has failed.

  He could have more than just tough that failed.
  You can have other hardware issues.

  Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

• I need to reinstall Vista on my laptop on a drive, have questions.

  I have a backup disk & need to reinstall Vista.  Clean up some stuff on my laptop before I do it & if sowhat to do?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  If the backup disk is created using any built-in utility (recovery disk), you can use the disk to restore PC to factory default state. If you intend to restore the PC using the disk, the disk may completely format the hard disk and to restore. But, you can start the recovery process from the PC, without the need to restore disc, because the PC contains a separate recovery partition. You can begin the process of recovery of the partition of hard drive also. Consult the manual of the PC user for more information.

• Data backup before reinstalling Vista.

  Hi all
  I bought my acer model 7730 laptop two years back in 2008. It came with a licensed version of Vista. I was invited to take a backup on CD. I did it. but I think I lost the cd. How can I get a licensed version of vista now.

  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.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  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 (ACER is normally ALT + F10) to start to begin 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.

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

  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

• Clean reinstalled Vista. Windows Defender will not be open and turn on. Can I uninstall and reinstall WD?

  I use Windows Security Essentials OK, but Windows Defender is DISABLED and cannot be turned on. What should do?

  I use Windows Security Essentials OK, but Windows Defender is DISABLED and cannot be turned on. What should do?

  Windows Defender is part of the Vista operating system. It cannot be uninstalled, nor can you install another fresh copy in the system. This Windows Defender lives and dies with the operating system.

  It is called Microsoft Security Essentials, not Windows Security Essentials.

  MSE (Microsoft Security Essentilas) is supposed to close Windows Defender.
  This is because MSE has his own Defender. Run 2 defenders in the same machine allows to create conflicts.

  Therefore, it is normal to find widows Defender NOT enabled if you installed MSE.

  You don't have to do a thing. So be.

  If you want Windows Defender turned on because you want to access with the startup programs, here's another way without using Windows Defender...

  Start button in the search box, type msconfig... Enter... click on start up tab... Here is the list of your startup programs.
