Help me install Recovery vista disc Xp Media Center manufactured PC

Hello

My pc came with windows xp media center edition. According to hp, I had to have the free vista upgrade if I had bought my pc until March 15, 2007.

But I bought on 19 April 2007, so that they do not give me Windows Vista. I've been running on XP thereafter. Now I can borrow the friend Vista recovery disc and and install, but I don't know how to do this. If I need to change some settings in BIOS or not?

I want my PC should work as if it came with vista only (d: recovery, Casked etc.)

If in the case where I feel happy with vista, I also want to go back to XP MCE.

Please help me to do the process.

My model No. is the m7581in flag.

You need not update BIOS to install Vista. If you do not experience problems addressed by the update, you don't need it.

Before installing Vista, take your recovery disk set, so you can go back to XP if necessary. An another suggestion_Windows 7 must be released in a few months. I've been running the BETA-test version of this since Jan and now the recently published CR. It has some improvements on Vista. I would wait a few months for Windows 7.

Create a set of recovery disks:

    Hello

    1. dual Boot or new installation?

    2. you don't say what kind of Vista disk you use to install.

    3 have you checked on the HP website to see if these Comptuer models have Vista drivers available for their hardware?

    If there is no Vista drivers, you're wasting your time.

    Equip your computer model number, operating system for this information and see if there are troubleshooting steps for it.

  • Vista Ultimate 64 Media Center Guide showing now "No Data available" on all THE TRACKS!

    At Microsoft, Please will someone give me a solution to this? I see other users having the same problems, but none of the solutions have worked on my system.

    Problem: The guide in my Vista Ultimate 64 Media Center went to the indication "No Data available" on two large local stations to show on all THE stations, making it unusable guide and the Media Center unprogrammable.
    The Media Center and the Guide were great features and additions to my ATSC OTA television until mid-June, when this two station (and their substrings) launches it first stood. Now it's total.

    I downloaded both MCETVPack Windows6. 0-KB966315-x 64.msu and Windows6. 0-KB967632-x 64.msu , but the TWO open a dialog box reading "this update does not apply to your system."

    I tried to configure my TV options in Media Center repeatedly, but this does not change a thing.

    Please give me a solution that works with my system.

    Hi John Pendleton.

    Please check that the updates of windows are installed on the computer, including service packs.

    I would like for you to try the following steps as well:

    Go to the media guide and select the channel that you have a problem with.

    Make sure that you can recover the programs before performing this procedure, because if you cannot receive the programs you won't have the registration guide either.

    Open the Program Guide and navigate the Canal problem.  Right click on the channel of the problem and choose settings.  Then click TV, click Guide, and then add announces to the channel, click the channel of problem and change to one of the channels below the list (for example, 4Music).

    Click Save button. Now click on the channel you selected (for example 4Music) and repeat the procedure but cela suite scroll delay to find the channel of problem.

    Click on save and go on the media guide and registration should now appear.   If this is successful, you will need to perform this procedure for the other channels as well.  Check if the guide works correctly.  Let us know the results in your response.

    I hope this information is useful.

  • How can I re - install Windows Vista without the media?

    machine will not start in vista

    I have a gateway W34DUA with windows vista it will not load vista how do you get the thing to reinstall without a disk I'm thinking it was pre loaded

    or can I get a disc and use the product key from the back and reinstall?

    Hello

    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.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    "Full factory recovery"

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

    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

    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.

  • Problem installing Windows XP Pro/Windows Media Center Edition

    A few years ago, I built a system which consists of MS Windows Media Center Edition.  Recently, the hard drive failed.  I replaced the drive with a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda SATA drive.  Strangely, I can't reinstall MS Windows Media Center.  To clarify... with MS Windows Media Center cd in the drive, the installation went well.  The hard drive has been formatted and that the CD-ROM files have been hard disk messages were present.  The next step was a reboot by MS Windows cd.  This is where the installation fails. After the reboot, the Windows XP splash screen came as if the program Windows opened on your desktop.  At halfway through the splash screen, the system restarts.  Reboot forever more.  I don't know what is happening. Anyone?

    Test your player - create a Bootable CD:
    Ranging from 5 to 25% (depending on the make and model) new hard disks are defective.

    If you have a new hard drive Seagate the very next thing would be to download Seagate Seatools
