  My computer recently got some virus and they came and deleted everything on my hard drive as if I got new computer. When they were made, everything was great. However, I had 2 things that were not installed. I use both of them. Can somone please show me where I can download it would be a great help.

  Hi amanda2roy,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  Windows Media Center and DVD Maker is part of the Vista installation.  You can click Start, type in the area of research, programs and features.
  Open it and click on turn Windows features on / off on the left side.  In the list, under multimedia features, check the box for Windows Media Center and DVD Maker.

  You may need the installation of Vista CD/DVD to install the features.

  Hope this helps,

• Need help reinstalling Windows 7

  I posted here a while, but nothing has worked. I pretty much gave up for a while, but would really like to fix my laptop so I'll try again.

  My laptop running windows 7 has been a virus earlier this year. After trying to fix several different ways, I ended up doing the reformat disk I found somewhere in the control panel of the computer. It worked fine, but now before my computer starts, it wants me to put a Windows 7 installation disc, restart and then finally choose "repair my computer". I don't know if I should get the copy of $200 or more Windows 7 Home and I hope to find here how to avoid this. Someone me related to the file an.iso on my old post, but I could never download, even using a download manager.

  Basically, I'm here to see A) if I am right in what I think I need (Windows 7 Home) and B) if there is another way to get it without shelling out the $200 because that's what my computer ran originally.

• Need help to reinstall windows

  Hi, I have a few little problems and I wud appreciate really any help.

  Information on the machine:

  OS: Windows 7 Home premx64, factory loaded.

  Model: HP Envy 1010sa 6

  Error 1: HDD not found in windows setup mode

  Error 2: not found portable cd/dvd drive in windows setup mode

  problems explained:

  When I got this machine, it came formatted as a drive only, as I prefer diving windows drive (100 GB) and the rest of the space (400 GB) for my other files, so I decided to create my own partition and reinstall windows. BUT when I got back to reinstall... He cudnt find my HARD drive, then I updated my bios to e.16 and made the cd/dvd drive first boot floppy and restart, now it can't even find my cd/dvd player... Please help.

  AHA GouroB, then you are in the United Kingdom, I should be able to treaties which, as I am from there myself, but I have lived in the United States during the past 25 years.  Even if we get stuck, we know where to turn to for additional assistance.

  (I could start putting the letter 'u' in a few words, just for color )

  Well I have a unit like yours, same family, but I have the i5 processor and not the i7, makes no difference to what you're trying to do.

  If my research is good that you did not buy a unit with 1 hard drive but rather 2, however the 2nd is a small solid state Msata SSD drive which is used as a Cache drive to speed up performance, he does this by using the Intel Rapid storage, and it shows on my own, which still has the original HP configuration I have cache drive & there RAID 0 on it, all controlled by the Intel rapid storage app, you can download the form where are your drivers.

  BTW, it seems that you already have the latest e.16 BIOS.

  Here is a link to a doc explaining the disk hard Setup http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03192147

  Here's one just on SSD drives http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02435719

  and if you go to your portable HP Softpaq download page you will find downloads for the Intel Rapid storage and diagnostics UEFI F2, including how to set up if you lost.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063 & LC = on & CC = UK & DLC = in & sw_lang = & Product = 5281365 #N642

  In my BIOS under BOOT the first 3, I have just mentioned are:

  Portable hard drive

  USB disk on key/USB hard drive

  CD/DVD ROM USB drive

  Looks like you may have removed some of the features provided with this unit, but you should be able to get them back, even if it means get the recovery media factory HP available on the same site.

  Your laptop has a Setup more complex and delicate that a single normal HDD notebook PIN without a cache mSATA drive, I think that you can be best served by returning to the configuration of HP and the addition of an external drive for extra storage.

  It really runs faster with the work disk cache.

  Now, here is a picture I took of the Intel Rapid storage technology application in my control panel

  

  I hope it's useful, I know you want to get there using your Microsoft Picture & if you want to keep trying to do that I understand, but I think that you need someone for you there.

  Good luck.

• After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

  I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

  After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

  In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

  Standard VGA graphics card

  BCM20702AO

  Ethernet controller

  Network controller

  PCI device

  PCI Simple Communications controller

  SM Bus controller

  Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

  I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

  Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

  Hello:

  Here are links to the drivers you need...

  First, install the smbus controller driver and restart.

  When you reinstall Windows correctly, you start from the CD. Is it
  what you were doing?

  If so, the installation starts formatting the disk for you, then all the
  your files are gone.

  And by the way, reinstalling Windows due to an infection by the virus is
  almost always way exaggerated. There are several very good anti-virus
  programs that could probably removed the virus for you.

• My computer won't let me not reinstall windows because he thinks that it is 32-bit and does not recognize the installation discs. Help please?

  My computer has not worked since I stopped him during an automatic update. Which I have been kicking myself since then, but the last time that he updated, he beat the computer and I panicked.

  Anyway, it won't run certain programs, including iTunes and a large part of MS Office, and no matter how many times I try to reinstall, they still do not work, saying: "side by side configuration is incorrect."

  What I want is to restore it to factory settings - all my data is secured and sustained upward. But when I put in my recovery disks (and they are the highest boot priority in the BIOS) the system takes care of the hard drive as usual. When I remove the ability to boot from the hard drive, my system no reserves at all, telling me to restart or insert a suitable disc. And when I boot from the disk and try to run it manually, by clicking ETFSBOOT, it tells me that "the version of this file is not this version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or an x 64 (64-bit) version of the program. »

  I have double and triple checked this - my system is 64-bit. My records are 64-bit. As far as I know, the computer got garbled during the automatic update and now part of it think it's 32-bit (some programs are divided into sections 32-bit and 64-bit). All I want to do is to reinstall windows, but I don't know what to do because it does not recognize my discs! Any suggestions, internet?

  Thank you very much.

  In addition, if it is relevant, I'm Windows Vista on an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I do not have the windows install disc because the computer was shipped with windows installed, but I have the recovery disc ASUS (which have been used to restore my computer in the past).

  Hello

  Since you are unable to open programs like iTunes or Office, you can try to perform the system restore and check if it helps.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

  System restore

  About the factory restore the question, you need to contact ASUS support for additional help on ASUS recovery disks.

• Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows

  Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.

  Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.

  I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)

  The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it.  I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.

  How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

• I am trying to reinstall Windows Vista from my drive hard can u help me__

  I need some help tryin to reinstall windows vista from my hard drive, I went on the recovery program who was here and burned a cd, but none of the programs on my computer it open so I need to know how to reinstall it from my disk hard please

  You normally have to boot from the recovery disc:

  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

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  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 perform a recovery of the recovery hard disk Partition.

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  For any questions/problems about the recovery process, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

• Reinstall windows... Help, please.

  I have to reinstall windows and reformat windows. IM locked out of my Start menu, I could not access the account from the control panel in the month and there are way to many restrictions on my computer... Can someone tell me how to reinstall windows vista home premium on my computer? I don't have the original cd or any cd. But my product is registered, I had this OS for about 3 or 4 years. Can someone help me please?

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  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.

  You can also make 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 way of doing 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

  Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool.  Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.
