• Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

  My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

• Vista installation disc

  I purchased and downloaded the full Version of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. I need and had to perform a Setup disk for it where I can perform some hard conversations during the installation of the program. How can I make an installation disc. There must be a simple way. I have the Version of Windows professional XP install disk full, could I use some of the files on this disc?

  Bob, by what I've read that you have a version full of Vista Ultimate.

  I have not tried, because I haven't used to download vista from MS to get Vista your way.
  I don't see why it wouldn't work.

  Each DVD disc Vista you see, retail and OEM generic Microsoft, NOT DEll HP, recovery etc (including their drivers and garbage), has all versions of Vista anchored in them.

  Vista is only available in 2 discs, 32-bit and 64-bit, each contasining all versions.

  This is the product key that releases the files to install for your particular version, Ultimate.

  If borrow you a vista bootable DVD and to reinstall your product key, you would then have the options you need to put a partition.

  And you have a genuine product key to activate.

  If I'm wrong, a person will be at me!

• Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

  Hello

  My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
  As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
  I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

  Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

  I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

  Any information received with gratitude

  Thank you Ron

  Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

  With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
  This would allow an advanced boot menu.
  Here you must choose repair computer

  But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

• Windows vista installation disc does not start.

  So I decided to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of windows vista. It was working fine until after you have installed sp1. I restarted the computer, and there's just a black screen. I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

  When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

  Hello

  If you got this message hard disk, perform a test of it.

  If it failed, you can always replace the hard drive and reinstall Vista, instead of demolition it.

• Creation of Windows Vista installation disc

  I want to know how to create a Vista 32-bit (Home premium) for an Acer Aspire 7720z installation disc. My stupid Acer laptop doesn't have any kind of disk and a partition to factory settings. I actually intend to install linux, but I want vista dual boot and the main problem is that the hard drive has no partitions. so to install linux I need to reformat the hard drive but I always feel like vista then I will need to reinstall. is it possible to create a record of the whole installation for this with all the drivers installed already? Also, I heard that it is entirely legal to have a copy of the installation. Please let me know if this is true, until I still continues. So as you can guess I'm not a recovery disk, a record of the whole installation.

• Windows Vista installation disc: Black screen with a cursor and then nothing happens

  A blue screen appears when I try to start Windows and I'm trying to fix the computer through my installation disc I have. But when I try to run my Vista disk installation happening by loading the files fine. It then shows a black screen with a mouse cursor that moves. After that, nothing happens even if I leave it for hours to sit. It is a real disk Installation of Microsoft for Vista.

  If a clean installation of a real Installation of Vista disc does not work, then you probably have some kind of hardware problem (and the blue screen, you got before makes this even more likely).  You can try to do some troubleshooting on your own hardware, but frankly you probably put "t have tools or spare parts to do very much.  Here are some instructions that may help:http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

  If this does not work, then I suggest that you take it to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service where they can troubleshoot, diagnose, identify and possibly repair or replace the problem.  Before you import it in, I suggest that you protect your important data, as it is likely that they will wipe the hard drive clean in the process.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should hopefully give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, slave the drive to another computer and copy the data in this way.

  I'm sorry, we can not help more, but from your description there is no option of software if you do not have to do a clean install of an Installation of Vista genuine disc.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• HOW CAN I GET A NEW COPY OF THE VISTA INSTALLATION DISC?

  SON HAS INSTALLED AN OLDER VERSION OF TEST OF WINDOWS 7 AND ITS A MESS AND I CAN'T FIND MY INSTALLATION FOR MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM DISC. ANY HELP?

  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

• Initial full Vista installation failed, shows 2 installs of Windows Vista from starting.

  Second installation was successful, but the installation failed initial always appears at startup upward. At a complete loss to know where to find entries that say my system there are 2 installs of Windows Vista. When launched the CD to 'view' where this "alternate" install is shows unknown HDD to address 0 w a lack of disk space. Of course, it is more than likely that only some files in the registry or the system "ask" that there is a current installation. Where can I find these to remove them? Have not found anything on any forum re: this issue. TYVM<3!>

  I see that a "MVP" edited the title of the question, but it did NOT reflect what the question. Please leave the full question in the title of the post. My problem is not a simple installation of 'failure '. I just want to find out where the entries are which are originally to show 2 Windows Vista o/s when I 'start' my computer when there are 'only' real installation. Note: I have two we HARD a WinXP Pro, the other Vista disks. At the start, it shows "Versions of Windows" and then Windows Vista and finally Windows Vista again. The non-existing o/s installation failed is the 3rd entry.

  Modify the boot.ini file to remove the installation failed (make sure that you remove the right pair) or in msconfig, check the boot paths

• I lost my Windows Vista installation disc, but retain the product code, where can I get a replacement disk?

  It has been a while since I have Vista and I had it installed on pc crashed, so now I need to reinstall Windows on it. I still have the product key, but I lost the installation disk and I wonder where I could get a replacement drive.

  It has been a while since I have Vista and I had it installed on pc crashed, so now I need to reinstall Windows on it. I still have the product key, but I lost the installation disk and I wonder where I could get a replacement drive.

  Call the manufacturer of your computer.

  1. ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal and it is money well spent.
  2. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access the recovery of the computer partition and how to use it to restore your computer.

  None of the foregoing need by using your product key.

• I formatted my hard drive and can't find my windows vista installation disc, can I download it?

  x 32-bit

  If your vista is preinstalled and you still have the PK on your COA, borrow from someone different windows vista OEM version.

  If you bought separately (not OEM), then borrow another windows vista RETAIL copy.

  That would be casual piracy but, there is nothing you can do.

  in any case, it won't work if you don't have a genuine microsoft product key.

  If you are unable to activate, call microsoft product activation.

  NOTE: Make sure that you borrow the exact and the same architecture/version/edition.

  for example, the name of the product that is written on your COA is vista Home premium, then borrow OEM de Microsoft windows vista Home premium.

  When all else fails, buy Windows 7.
