• Cannot restore a Pavilion from HP with Vista Home Premium a1520e

  Try to restore an HP Pavilion a1520e with Vista Home Premium using the recovery disks that came with it. Cooldown increased to 99%, then stops with a message "Error 002" ridiculous. Tried the 2nd HDD, reset the BIOS, 2nd set of disks, H/p unable to fix without sending any box and pay more than it is worth. I have all receipts and simply want a legitimate o/s that I can restore.

  Hello

  The problem is not with Windows, it's a hardware error OR you do not have the right Vista HP OEM
  installation media.

  1. check that the disks you have are correct for this model of CV. HP can sell you cheap the
  installation media real cheap since you already own windows.

  2. Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (at both ends, where this is possible)-in fact
  delete and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and make sure that the vents are clear.

  By chance the need to re - install caused by malware?

  Hope this helps and happy holidays.

• Erase any of my files if I switch from XP to Vista Home Premium?

  I have Windows XP and Im wondering if I install Windows Vista to Windows XP will be my files deleted because I don't want my files to be clear they are very important especially my Norton. So, I just want to know it will clear or not

  Hello.

  Your files are deleted or not actually depend on how you choose to install/upgrade to Windows Vista.

  Basically, you have two choices: upgrade or New Installation.

  -The upgrade allows you to raise simply for the windows you want without affecting your partitions of current facilities and documents.

  -New Installation, on the other hand, your old installation OS completely wipes and puts the new operating system on it. Or allows the original copy on a new disk or partition must be installed.

  Since you want to keep your files in the New Installation is out of the question. But to do an upgrade, it depends on what OS your market now and what operating system you want to upgrade to.

  What edition of Windows XP you are running (i.e. XP, Professional, Media Center)? And what version of 'little', it's [that is 32 - bit, 64-bit]?

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards
  John

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  Hi, Im running windows vista Home premium with IE 9 on 64-bit for now, nobody knows if there is a download free windows 7 available to try to improve my system from vista to windows 7? Thank you.

  Hello

  There is no free upgrade to Windows 7.

  There was a special offer to do years back. but this offer has expired for a long time.

  And Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.

  Try Amazon.com.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Free upgrade from Vista Home Premium 7

  My laptop is still under warranty. I bought it New from Best Buy. Given that it was a floor model, they tell me that my computer is NOT available for free upgrade to Windows 7. Why? Is it possible that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 7? It has Vista Home Premium built in and the reason that I don't like is that it is not useful at all as much as to teach me how to use the computer. I am a senior and I learn right on the computer. If I can't get the free update, Do You traore the price of Windows 7 never boils? Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!-Chris, in Dearborn, Michigan.

  Suppose you have qualified for an Upgrade to Win7 for free if you had not bought a floor model is reduced, Chris. In any case, only Best Buy can really explain why the computer does not qualify.

  You can buy an Express Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium (~ $120 USD retail or less) or Win7 Ultimate (~ 220 USD $ retail or less). See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop?T1=win7 or http://www.google.com/products?q=%22windows+7+home+premium%22+%2B+upgrade&hl=en&aq=f

  Please note that the upgrade to Win7 peut invalidates your warranty and Service contracts.

  In any case Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

  My 32 bit HP came with Vista Home Premium which is updated with SP2.   I'm trying to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, but get this message: could not start the upgrade.  To update, cancel the installation and choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is newer than the version you are currently using. "The choice of installation custom is available, but I n
  ' t want to lose my Office 2007 files and other programs that I have.  I bought Ultimate on the Microsoft Store and downloaded online.  I tried to use the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but would still pay for the software.  Thanks in advance.

  Uninstall vista SP2 on your computer.

  The Service Pack level on your computer does not have to be communicated more top/more later then the Service Pack to upgrade.

  If the SP1 upgrade, uninstall SP2 from the computer, etc..

  If it is higher on the computer, you must do a clean install, as the upgrade is an earlier version of Vista.
