  • Need to restore disc for Windows Vista Home Premium

    original title: need to restore the disc for Windows Vista Home Premium on Pavilion dv2000 laptop wiped out by Staples!

    Had clips to make a diagnosis and PC tune-up. Apparently everything was fine, until I refused to let them upgrade my Pavilion dv2000 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7. Don't know what they did, but now I get a black screen and cannot access the laptop at all. Is there a cure?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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.

    See you soon.

    I also need to restore my P200 with the Toshiba CD. There is a note on the Pocket: insert the CD, power off, turn on with press F12, select the drive and follow the explanations. I wonder if it is possible to reformat just the 2nd disc.

    I can confirm what sascha wrote. I have Satellite A300 with 2 hard drives and via recovery DVD you can simply install OS on the first HARD disk. The second HDD is not visible for a second and Toshiba software engineers have designed to work with the first HARD disk only.

  • I lost my XP restore disc. Is there an alternative out there that I'm able to explore?

    My Dell Vostro 1700 is a few years old and desperately need a HD format.  Problem is I can't find my restore disk.  Dell doesn't seem to have more available XP SP3 discs, and they do not have one alternative that "buy a new virus scanner."  Microsoft can provide me with a restore disc, or can I use any XP installation disc?  My computer has my key product registered on it somewhere so I didn't buy a new one?  I know that this computer is most likely too old to install Windows 7, and I want to save that money for my next purchase of office.

    You have not described any scanner respectable malware, so if you think that your system is afflicted, that I could do this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Then follow these steps so that we can see what you have now:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    Determine this your XP key information product and write using one or both of these methods:

    http://www.gtopala.com/

    Next, you need to find and make a copy of XP that corresponds to your (Home, Pro, MCE, etc.) and find a friend who has a genuine bootable CD or maybe you can buy one on the Internet and to your heart's content, you can reinstall your XP.  I would like to send you one, but I did not practice on the Tablet XP versions.

    It is my belief that you should never have to reinstall XP to fix any problems - you can always remedy.  I've never reinstalled, repaired or used a restore point to resolve any problem XP in my life - and these options will never typed my keyboard or come out of my mouth.  I'm a fixer-upper.

  • 2000 laptop 365DX: need to restore but have a restore partition point or recovery.

    Hi guys. I have a laptop HP 2000-365DX with Windows 7 Home Premium.   Its so crowded and I need to restore back to original settings.  I had installed Ubuntu (partitioned) all the time and has been very stupid, because I deleted my partition recovery HP tools.  Now, I searched here on HP.com to order a recovery disc and apparently I can't find one for my specific model.  So what I have done is downloaded a file .iso Windows 7 Home Premium (with a good soul on these forums) and I need to download all the drivers for my laptop as well but HP is having some problems now so I can't download them (which is fine that I'm in no hurry).  So, that's all as far as my knowledge goes.  I have my Win7 disc and hopefully soon have my drivers disk.  What I do not know how, it's clear my computer to start from zero Setup Win7 again then all my drivers.  I read that DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) erases your hard drive clean, but that seems very extreme.  Looks like I would use to wipe my drive hard if I had to sell my laptop or to erase the evidence, but if that's my solution I'm cool with that.  So, really, I'm wandering what I should do now.  And I really re - install my drivers as well?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    You can delete all existing partitions on the HARD disk during installation, as follows.

    Start the installation.

    When you get to the screen 'What type on installation', choose the custom (Advanced) option, and then click drive options (Advanced).

    Here you can delete all existing partitions at a time by clicking on the partition to highlight it and then click Remove.

    A when you're finished, you'll have just one entry named not 'allocated space' - just proceed with the installation.

  • Vista asks to activate and insert the restore disc. SE message at the bottom of the screen: "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

    Original title: corrupt Windows Vista

    I have vista business and I think he got corrupted when I went overseas. Now it asks me always to activate and insert the restore disc but I've mislaid and cannot locate my restore disk. Also on the bottom, it indicates that this copy of windows is not genuine? Please help anyone on how I can restore this back to the original.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    See which way suits you.

    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:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "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, 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.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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 to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Need to restore but upgraded to Win7

    I have a HP Pavilion p6130y and know about blue screen of death episodes from time to time. I tried to find new updates and send the report to MS not yet found the resolution of errors. Now and then, it happens with different error messages with the BSOD. So read on some forums and realizing that it's time to just clean and restore, I've come to a problem.

    I bought the computer with Vista HP 64-bit installed and made restore disks factory shortly after the purchase was charged to do and before I upgraded via free upgrade offer from HP for Win 7 HP. If I restore the computer I will be back to Vista... and I want to be able to reload Win 7 on here again. How can I reload Windows 7 once I restored my computer.

    I don't want right now to clean up the computer, and then perform a new installation on a disk of Win 7 bought off of eBay. I realize that could be an option later but not what I want right now. In addition, if I do that I have to go and download the drivers for my computer via the support site individually. It's not like HP is an ISO file with ALL the necessary drivers for my computer.

    Any help is welcome. Please, I beg you!

    Hello outlawtartan, sorry for the confusion, but I assumed by the first post, where he advised I've upgraded via free upgrade offer from HP for Win 7 HP.

    If you do not have the CV provided set of Windows 7 upgrade disks, you will need to purchase a commercial version.

    HP Windows 7 upgrade offer I received had the HP Windows 7 and the disk HP Windows 7 Applications and drivers.

    I bought my Apple TV 4th generation in the UK and I use it to good advantage here at home, in Bolivia. However, when I switched it on the other day he said that I needed to restore the software. That's when I discovered that I needed a USB, USB - C cable. In all of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, after much research, I managed to get a cable. Why oh why Apple don't provide this cable with the TV? They provide a lightning cable to recharge the remote control.

    Anyway - my question to the community is - everyone knows a 4th Gem Apple TV which must be retired? I used a 2nd generation Apple TV for a few years with no problems at all. Restores a normal need?

    I had a lot of mountain BIKING throughout the years and never had need to restore, and most will never do. For those that do they choose to get a cable or take it to Apple

  • Need to restore the system disk for Satellite S3000 - X 4

    I ve an old Satellite phone, model type S3000 - X 4, but I ve lost its disk factory settings restoration. I ve loaded another version of Windows XP Home edition, I own but he doesn't he know s a laptop more than the custom of the fresh battery and I m constantly plugged in!

    I ve updated Toshiba, but it remains straight isn t. Is it possible to get a replacement system restore disc for the this model please?

    Hello

    Your ad is quite confused and I do not know is that you have problem with power sypply why you focus on recovery media. If there is a technical problem or if the battery is dead why you think that the recovery CD will help.

    In any case, I think you will not have much chance to get a recovery media for this older model laptop. I checked the download from Toshiba site and there are only 9 different drivers and tools that you can install after the installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    First try to configure Windows XP Home Edition. Later, we can discuss any problem of battery.
    This battery is always the original, I mean one?
