need to reinstall Vista 64 bit HD is broken
My HD is not working. I need to reinstall Vista 64 bit PC. I tried to use the support... Help
Hello KyleConner,
If your hard drive is 'broken', replace it.
Get recovery discs to reinstall Vista from your computer manufacturer.
They do it for a small fee.
If you need just to reinstall Vista on the same hard drive, ask the manufacturer of the computer how to use their recovery process which must be copied to the hard drive.
Common methods are to press F10 or F11 etc, to start to begin the recovery process, IF the hard disk is not damaged.

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. -

You need to reinstall Vista. where can I get the software to do?
I have problems with my Vista lock in Explorer Windows and Video Creator. I also have a problem with it locking up while it is charging. Also, I can install is more new hardware or software without crashing. Would like to F-disk and reinstall from scratch, but I need the software. Can help you.
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.
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

Need to reinstall Vista, but the key is missing
I have a machine with vista on this corrupt and must be reinstalled unfortunately 4 letters press have rubbed, what can I do about it?
Thank you
JackIf you have the installation disc of recovery of Vista you don't need to enter anything. Recovery image should not be enabled.
If you use the Microsoft installation disk, this product key is useless. It belongs to the recovery image and cannot be used for activation of the product if you use clean install of the OS.

I need a vista clean reinstallationof. I jave an Acer laptop and I have the key product for the vista operating system installed which has completely disappeared. How can I get a copy of vista to reinstall?
Hello
See if you have a Recovery Partition of Acer.

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.
