• Missing OS... Basic Vista restore disk will not load

  I tried EVERYTHING except YOUR solution!  I'm not dummie (well, maybe), but it's me and some friends very tech savvy absolutely perplexed.

  Stage 1:   Dell Inspiron 1545.  Zero out HD.  Restore disk will not load.  Black screen States:

  Missing operating system
  Press a key to reboot_

  Scene 2:   Windows 7 (not a working copy) does very well, but not Vista Basic.  XP (again, not a working copy)almost loaded!  I even tried loading Vista on Win7 nothing helps.  Lived all the NTLDR missing, etc., has visited several Q / a forum... you're my last shot at this!  I even tried restoring disks from my other laptop (Toshiba), knowing full well, it produces no result... there not!  lol HD and motherboard are beautiful - I AM able to load OS to 'other' guys... Superblock is now ultimately nonexistent.

  Final:   Current situation: Zero out Once AGAIN , tried to install it, HD has failed.  A ran bootfix and installed SMTDRV.  Always the same black screen and invites as stated above, when you try to load Vista.  The thing F12, the same result.  DVD is fine.  The done of F2 and load default.  Guess that that same result.

  I have Win7, but the funds just aren't there.  I am a student (ISS), but my University is not offered at the discount of Win7.  Please help me to recover my Vista!  Thank you, thank you, thank you... in advance!

• HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

  The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

  Thank you

  Pete

  If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

  Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

• Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?

  Hello world

  My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.

  How can I get the restore disc that will work with my OEM license?

  Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying that it could not detect the hard drive, there is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I tested it on another laptop. Is there an any obstacle o install XP on this laptop that came with Vista of origin. Is there a security Messure somewhere that I collapsed to install XP?

  Thanks in advance

• My vista restore disk does not start in my computer. Is it possible to get a new drive?

  Compaq PresarioSR5130NX with AMD Athlon 64 x 2 processor. Wouldn't start. Console Startup Repair did not help, not even in safe mode. Tried to restore partition, says error. Tried to restore System Restore disk. First authorized disc formatting my drive, second disk would not be executed. Now I'm stuck with no operating system and no disc to recharge. Any ideas?

  Hello

  You may have a hardware problem which is the cause.

  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.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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.

  My HP G60 came with Vista. It has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 but the audio has become non-functional. Is it necessary for a new driver solve the problem? If not, I think to restore Vista restore disks. Restore disks can still work now that there Windows 8.1 in it?

  Restore with recovery with work records and return the system to Windows Vista. However, if you need drivers, please follow these steps:
  1. in the run box, type devmgmt.msc.
  2 unknown devices would be listed as such and plotted with a yellow question mark.

• file missing or corrupt XP Windows, system restore disks do not work. Help, like xp, like vista or win 7

  My desktop has windows xp media center edition with Service Pack 3 for years, there work and maybe it's time to junk food, however my laptop has windows vista, which I don't like, I have seen windows 7 and am not fond of him either, so what can I do?

  I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

  When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

  This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

  Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

  Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid

• How to use my restore disks to install Windows Vista on my Toshiba laptop?

  How to get Windows Vista installed on the Toshiba laptop?

  I HAVE A TOTALLY VIRGIN (NOTHING on the HDD) computer PORTABLE TOSHIBA, I HAVE MY RESTORE DISKS for VISTA BUT CANT SEEM to GET THE OS installed on MY LAPTOP... Please help

  As a general rule, the installation - insert the installation disc, restart the computer and boot from the installation disc.

  BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

  The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

  Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

  F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

  Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

  If you can start still not install it:

  Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.

• How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

  Hello
   
  I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

  How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

  Thanks in advance!

  You can 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.

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

  It is General info how to make a Vista startup repair disk:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

  Hello

  I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
  The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

  I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

  I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

  I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

  Hello

  According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
  I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

  One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

  If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
  I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

  Greetings
