Equium A200: impossible to get Vista installed on the new HARD drive recovery
Hello
After a failure of the HD I bought a Toshiba no AF HD which is defective
Now that I had to buy a replacement HARD drive that is a player of AF but no matter how hard I try, I can't recovery Vista Home Premium software to install
I get an error "Windows cannot configure Windows" or something like this message.
Pointers would be most useful.
Thank you, Tim.
Usually, is not a big problem to install the Toshiba Vista image using the new HARD disk.
But I've already read in different threads that in the case of much larger hard drives the recovery procedure could not complete successfully.
In which case you would not be able to complete the Vista installation by using the recovery disk, you can try to install the system using the Microsoft disc. In this case I recommend you take the Win 7 OS. Its much better than Vista OS.

How to clean install Vista:
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

MS Vista was preinstalled on my computer. (I bought it new.) It did not come with a MS Vista program disc.) My hard drive has crashed and I need to replace it. What should I do to get the Vista OS on my new hard drive.
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.
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.

Removed the HARD disk with MBR/BCD who installed Vista x 64 Business on the new HARD drive
I have vista x 64 business installed on a HARD drive, but it was (and still is) installed on an older HDD aswell and the smallest, the result being that when I removed the old hard drive to put in another computer, I was unable to boot the copy of vista on the new HARD disk as the MBR or the BCD bit that allows me to choose what vista start is on the old HDD. Using the installation DVD I can get up the command prompt and run Bootrec.exe without the old HARD disk installed, which can find the vista installation, but fails to solve the problem. I'm not an expert so I can't properly use Bootrec.exe, and startup recovery also does not work, although it seems to say that something to do with the startup has been fixed. Is it possible that I can get the computer running without the old HDD without having to reinstall vista on the new hard drive? Currently, I put the old HARD return drive to start the new installation of vista.
When you move an old hard drive to a new computer, the installed operating system will find new hardware (motherboard, etc.).
A clean install is a normal requirement, as no drivers are installed for the new hardware on the operating system.
Thus, it will not start.How to do a clean install:
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

Vista boot from the external HARD drive when 7 is installed on the internal HARD disk
I had windows Vista pre-installed on my HP laptop, now I installed the new hard drive and downloaded windows 7 on it. and I use my drive HARD back as my external storage medium and it came with vista pre-installed. is it possible to start fromUSB and use vista alternately without remove current HDD with 7 and keep their replacement on a vice versa. I already changed the boot order, but it shows the blue screen and then goes out... help me if you think you have the solution for me...
Hello
You can not install Windows vista on a USB hard drive. The reason is that manager (Bootmgr) boot will always be on the internal hard drive and will not read the USB drive letter properly and it continues to change.However, you can install the two HDD internally, and then you can have a dual boot option by adding the entries in startup of the operating system Windows Vista, Startup Manager (boot mgr).You can check the following thread: -

Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive
original title: Please help!
I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.
Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.
I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.
I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:
1. turn the pc power off and open the case.
2. remove the old hard disks
3. plug the new empty hard drive
4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive
5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device
6. install win 7 on new hard drive.
Is this correct?
Because my next question is important:
7. Turning off the computer.
8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.
Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?
How can I make this work?
Thank you very much!
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.
Any help would be appreciated!
Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

I can't get my creative suite 4 to install the new hard drive
I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 several years ago and installed on my laptop. I always use the same laptop, but I recently had install them a new hard drive. I didn't lose my programs, they said they would just my stuff on an external hard drive and I just could it pass to it. When I tried to move top photoshop gives me error 6. I spoke to someone from adobe, and they said they could help me if I had serial numbers. I've moved several times since then, so if I did not currently drives, but I was able to find discs, as well as the serial number. I tried to install the disks last night and my computer does not recognize them, it is said that they are blank discs. These are the same ones that initially I installed the programs, they have not been affected since. My cd player works fine with any cd I put in it. Ugh, what can I do? I spent a lot of money on this program, I can't afford to buy it again.
