Hard drive with recovery partition failed, how do I restore Windows on the new drive?
How can I get my sons pc working again?
Hard drive failed and restore vista on a partition on the disk. No backups. Replaced the hard drive but obviously not Vista. I have the genuine key. Can I download the trial or something then activate with the existing key?
Contact the manufacturer. They should provide you with recovery disks.

Use BCDEDIT to SET the description that you are wanting to "Rename" and also to choose the displayorder, timeout and that you load by default...

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

My computer came with Windows 7. Recently, my hard drive failed. I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did. These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?
YES!
I just did mine 01/01/2016, installed a new WD 500 GB HDD black on my laptop ASUS K52F, took my DVD 4 restore disks and restored to Win 7 Home Premium, more 10 Windows, which is sitting on my old HDD in the trash. I'll stick with my Original OEM OS and never improve to WIN 10 times.
NOTE: The only time the restore disks do not work is when you replace your motherboard.

I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?
It is a decision that was made by Apple. El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.
This is not uncommon. My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.
Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.
Ciao.
