• Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

  I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

  Hi Allisonerik,

  (1) what happens when you try to restore?

  (2) you get an error message?

  (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

  I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

  Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

  Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

• How to get the Installation of Vista from Toshiba disk?

  I work with Microsoft technical support to solve a security problem on my Satellite Pro A210 and were now required to use a Vista installation disc.

  Microsoft says that I am entitled to an installation of the original provider of my kit disc - Toshiba. But we're not happened with my laptop - only a recovery disc has been provided.

  How can I go on the acquisition of an installation of Vista from Toshiba disk?

  Kind regards

  Kevin C.

  With Toshiba laptop, you'll get the Toshiba CD/DVD facilities only.
  This recovery media is designed for your laptop only.

  Installations from Microsoft Vista disc is not given and there is no way to get it from Toshiba.

  Microsoft can offer that you support if you only use Microsoft installations CD. Using this disk, you can install and repair Vista on each portable office/computer option. Unfortunately with the restore disc it will not work.

• New installation of Vista on Satellite A100

  Hello

  I just want to know how to install a clean OS (Vista) on my laptop. Can I use the disk at any time to upgrade?
  What problems are possible?

  Concerning
  Rambo

  Hello!

  Of course, you can take the drive at any time to upgrade to Microsoft because I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
  Isn t it then? ;)

  Only, you must boot from the disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
  After that, you must download and install all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  At the end I can say s the same as the recovery disk but the recovery disk saves time because all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

• How to disable an installation of Vista.

  I have a retail copy of Vista Ultimate.  I recently updated my computer and a clean installed a copy retail of Windows 7 Professional, then the copy of Vista is more installed on any computer.  I would like to give the copy of Vista to a friend, as well as components for them to use the surplus to upgrade (motherboard, CPU, video card, RAM).  How can I disable my installation so that they use the license?  I've had this copy for a while now, and the last time I had to reinstall I had to call to activate it.  Will they be able to do the same thing?

  Hi, Derigiberble,

  You can transfer the license from one computer to another if it is a retail copy, and it is completely removed from the old pc.  Erase the hard drive.

  The OEM licenses that come pre-installed on your computer are not eligible

  It depends of what error. You have not told us.

  And it depends on how you use the Setup CD. If you make a

• New installation of Vista service pack 1... will not restart

  Helping a friend clean an old computer.  said it ws no problem.  Laptop filled with viruses.  I cleaned then say that Service Pak 1 necessary to download.  I did it and now the laptop does not restart

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• New installation SOUL 2014 - can not "Tail" of first of SOUL

  I just installed new applications of 2014 today.  Whenever I try to export media by sending SOUL it never do here. The launch of the app, but the work never show up in the queue. This process has worked well for me with the CC first/SOUL apps up to this new facility. Also, if I queue a file when checking "Match sequence settings", it works as expected. And if I export directly the first export settings dialog, it works very well for custom (such as quicktime/h.264) settings. But I can't do it with SOUL.

  Don't know if it's an installation problem or related to the permissions problem I had when first installing (had to change the permission settings in the folder Application Support/Adobe.

  Please help if you can. Thank you.

  In addition, a phone call from tech support did the trick. The person on the phone had me remove the old prefs folder and start with a completely new. Who did the trick. He said that it was probably a problem with the dynamic link manager and permissions.

• New installation of Vista recovery drive...

  Hello
  I have a laptop HP Pavilion-DV5 comes with windows vista... It has 2 drives C and d. C has windows disk and all the other stuff and D is a recovery drive with almost 8 GB of data in it. I'm new on recovery and other things and I know its possible to reinstall windows, but I want something else...

  I want to install windows 7 in my C drive after FORMATTING drive C (no road of course...) and I want to keep the option of vista recovery because it is after all ORIGINAL windows... Is it possible to do? I mean what happens if I install windows 7 and when I want my windows vista back, is possible to install from recovery drive?

  Concerning

  Once format you the recovery usually partition C: does not work. Better to burn your recovery disc set at onhand in case you want to roll back to Vista. Use HP Recovery Manager in your Start menu to burn the game using DVD + R, no record of rewritteable. Usually requires only 2 DVD.
