Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.

Original title: Clean Install.

I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.  I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.

Hello

With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

It is an option in Windows 7.

And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

See you soon.

  • How to perform a new installation of window 8.1?

    Hello

    (If this is important), I use an Alienware X 51 R2 with the following specifications:

    Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

    AMD R9 270 2 GB

    8 GB RAM

    1 TB HARD DRIVE

    Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

    1 secure Boot product still "no error of Boot Drives Found" as soon as I turn on the computer. So I have to disable Secure Boot.

    2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

    So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello forum HP, I can use the Laserjet P1102w with USB connection on 3 different devices including a portable Apple and PC Windows Vista and Windows 7 laptop computer, but can not perform a wireless installation with the broadband internet connected wireless PC running Windows Vista 32 bit. The main message is that the computer does not find the printer even when using the USB connection. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @Kaiser3107,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer that connects three thin devices via the USB port, but you can not perform a wireless installation on a fourth device, equipped of Windows Vista 32-bit, because the PC does not detect the printer via the USB port. I would like to help with that.

    Here is a support document which includes 'USB device is not detected by Windows' which can help the issue of detection - Troubleshooting (Windows Vista) USB connections.

  • Satellite L500-128 - new installation of Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello guys. I want to do a few questions

    I have windows vista in my laptop and I want to do a clean install with windows 7 64 bit. I noticed the drivers are ok in the site. So here's my questions

    (a) do I have to remove the hidden restore partition or not? (configuration eisa if I remember correct)

    (b) I got 4 dvds with the toshiba recovery disk creator. If I erase each partition in the laptop how to restore my DVD? With a program in Windows or just setting the bios to boot from DVD, then the procedure is automatic? What's the first bootable dvd?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my English

    Hello

    one) of course, you can remove this hidden WinRE partition. If you have installed a new/other OS, this partition is useless.

    (b) you on the right. To restore the Toshiba Recovery disk factory settings you must boot from the disks. The first disc is bootable and you can boot from the installation. This happens automatically, only a few clicks are needed to confirm the installation and to create user accounts, etc.. Pretty easy and all the drivers and tools are installed too! :)

  • While performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, I get to the part "select driver to be installed" but there is no driver. What is going on?

    Select the driver to be installed problem during installation (Vista 32 bit)?

    So, I finally managed to get my office to start the disc because im trying to do a clean install because my family somehow acquiring an infection of Hadily on it. However as soon as I get to the part "select the driver to install" installation my computer comes up with nothing = / I scanned the Boot(x:) et le disque local (c), but it says that there is no drivers are found to install.) I don't understand what is happening? shouldn't the disc have everything you need? I was told "to put versions textmode of my SATA interface on a Flash DRIVE or a CD driver" but I don't know how to do this.

  • What partition for any new installation of Windows 7 64-bit should be used?

    I did a full install of Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop computer that is already running Windows XP MCE 2005 32-bit. I didn't know which partition to install the OS on. There were 2 choice: had the majority of hard disk space, the other had a small amount of space (I think it was only a few GB) and next to him, said 'OEM reserved. I didn't know about 20 GB of free space, so I chose the partion with most of hard disk space.

    What is the right thing to do?

    If it's not then should I install Windows 7 on the other smaller partion again or should I delete this partition?

    I appreciate any assistance in this matter.

    There are several scenarios where an untrained user this doubt. If there a 8 GB oem partition (wtf for kind of crapware they installed in some systems, ask yourself... ;-)) and a XP/Vista system 100 GB partition C and a 40GB partition and then he might be tempted to choose the 40 GB partition because that has the most available space if, for example, the 100 GB drive is full of movies or other stuff.) So it's a matter of good and valid. I don't know if the system would be able to dual boot automatically if install you on a 40 GB partition in this case, have not yet tried. You know, Andre? I suppose so, but do not know about you.

    Oh, and in any case: you have made the right choice. Since now your old OEM recovery partition is still intact, should, for some reason, want to return to your original operating system in the future (incompatibility of system or other (little likely, but ok...)) then you can. Although there are some reported problems with whom, since you may not be able to get into the medium in the usual OEM recovery partition anymore. For example, HP has for many models, a patch recovery partition available that you can apply after installing windows 7. This can often be useful, because it might be necessary at some point in time for you to enter the OEM recovery partition, since usually they do not only install the Sysprep image and crapware there, but often also possible diagnostic software for their particular type of material you might need when the system does not start because of a hardware failure.
    So, check if you can always insert the partition or if your OEM has an update is available for this, if necessary.
    Fun with 7!

  • Satellite L300D - 21 p - failed Installation of Windows Vista 32 bit

    Hello!

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 21 p, and now I wanted to install Windows Vista Business 32-bit.
    But still, the installation stops at where the screen says "how to complete the installation..." ".

    Do you have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    If you use the Toshiba recovery disc then you have no need to reinstall the SATA drivers.
    If you use Microsoft disc, you need the SATA drivers.

    But if the error message indicates that the installation is complete, then the HARD drive is recognized correctly and you should not have the SATA drivers in such a case.

    > Where can I get the SATA drivers?
    It seems that your laptop computer supports the processor AMD and ATI chipset.
    Driver graphics card contains the driver for chipset and SATA drivers needed.
    The different folder for the graphics driver and the drivers are placed in the folder:
    Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\Filter\NB

    Hello

    There is no available from Microsoft Vista ISO file download.

    You can 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.
