  I need to make an own reformatting and installing windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron C521 pc.  Restore dell to original factory option does not work.  Windows has no option to create a recovery disc - am unble to locate the recdisc.exe and possess no original discs as windows came pre-installed, when I brought the machine license key only 25 digits

  You call Dell Support and request a set of recovery disks. The cost is minmal and worth it.

  Del has installed the partition, they know how to use it.

  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

• Satellite U400 - How can I install Windows Vista in German?

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite U400-108 in Switzerland, but the language of Windows Vista is in English.

  How can I change German?

  When I start the recovery, I can choose only vista in English. But it says on the package Windows Vista EN/DE/FR/IT

  Could someone help me?
  Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English.

  Hello

  you had the S4 of the VISTA operating system variant but! After you have decided for a language... like you, English, the other 3 languages will be deletet on the HARD drive. When you burn your own recovery media, there will be only the language on it. There is no way to go back.

  but you have a chance. You can order a new media recovery with 4 languages at this link.

  My older nephew of ten year and his friend decided to install his copy of friends of Windows Vista on my laptop, I don't know.  They used a Windows Anytime Upgrade disc.  He is now in reduced without a start button functionality mode.  He also says that he is not a genuine copy.  I tried to access internet explorer, but it continues to tell me that the pages do not respond and to wait or kill pages.  At this point, I would really just uninstall that copy of Vista.  I had Windows XP on the laptop, is it possible that I can return to the use of this?

  To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

• How can I install Windows 8 on a USB?

  I downloaded and installed Windows 8 on a virtual machine, and virtual machine software refuses to let go of my 3D display driver, not allowing not my laptop switch to 3D mode (has a 3d screen) until after I reload.

  How can I install Windows 8 on a USB key, that way I can start directly in this USB?

  When I run Setup of the computer windows 7, it wants to install Windows just 8 and does not have the ability to install on USB. When I run the Setup program on Windows 8 VM, he just wants to do the same, install Win8 on the virtual machine and does not give the option to choose a disk to install on.

  I can make the USB bootable and have put the image ISO of Windows 8 on it, and start since that does not allow me to install on the USB stick (player 1, it only shows drive C: (disk 0) on the laptop).

  I would like to have windows 8 bootable from the USB key, so it wouldn't mess up my windows 7 current computer until I can get everything fully backed up and have more time to play with it.

  You can not, Windows 8 must be installed on an internal hard drive attached. Only Windows 8 Enterprise supports Windows To Go that allows you to create a portable copy of Windows 8 on a USB key. Windows 8 Enterprise Edition is only available to volume license customers.
