How can I re install vista windows home on my pc.

I want to wipe the drive and re install.  but I have no disk can be done online or can I get the disc to down load online

Hello

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

Use the method that suits you best.

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.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

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)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

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

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

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.

  • Equium A210-171 - how can I re - install Vista

    Hello

    I was updating operating systems (Vista 32 bit) Microsoft online when the laptop (Equium A210-171) stop.
    It may have reached the limit of overheating and this is the reason that he stop (I guess).

    I let him cool computer down and when I tried to boot from the instructions as per
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1845345& rpn = PSL48U & modelFilter = L45-S7423 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 107376866

    the computer seems to hang.

    When I get to start in safe mode, the computer seems to hang on \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys or another file system.

    Action press 0 and then turn on the computer with the recovery CD in the drive is also reflected by a lock to the top of the system leading to a black screen only. By pressing C on startup also has the same effect.

    As a test, I put a different Linux Ubuntu CD in the drive to see if I could run another operating system on a hard drive.
    This action was successful. But my kids need Windows for games they play.

    So, my question is... how to re - install Vista. The factory re - install Setup seems to not work.

    Thank you very much
    Tommy.

    > As a test, I put a Linux Ubuntu CD in the drive to see if I could run another operating system on a different hard drive.
    I mean that you have installed a Linux on a different partition and not of HARD drive. Right.
    Well, it means that the HDD is OK and the laptop should run with Windows as well.

    > The action of pressing 0 and then turn on the computer with the recovery CD in the drive is also reflected by a lock to the top of the system leading to a black screen only. By pressing C on startup also has the same effect.

    All first of all I recommend to start the BIOS and set boot from CD/DVD drive at the beginning.
    Then save the changes and restart the device.
    While pressing the power button, press F12.
    This allows you to get the boot on the screen menu.
    Insert the disc of Windows installation (or the Toshiba Recovery disk) and choose ODD (CD/DVD drive)
    Then laptop should begin to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

    Notes; If you use the Windows CD (not recovery disk) then you need to change an option in the BIOS.
    Select compatible SATA mode and save the changes.

  • Edit/preferences/share offer only adobe and outlook. How can I select for Vista windows messaging?

    I can attach photos to an email, but it fails before the end. Probably because Outlook is selected in Preferences/editing/action. I only have Adobe and no prospects, no windows for vista mail. Should I have a corrupted file? How can I get windows messages in the menu. It works well with elements 6.

    I think that you may need to use Windows Live Mail for current versions of PSE - Windows Essentials: other programs - Microsoft Windows

I was told that it is very easy to do if you know how.

    > I have download the my Toshiba Recovery disk
    I put t know what you downloaded, but you have not downloaded a Toshiba Recovery disk because the recovery disc can not be downloaded!

    > but how can I recover my Vista and Windows delete
    If you have an original Toshiba recovery disc then put it in the CD/DVD drive and the start of this drive.
    The recovery disk would start and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Installation of recovery disk would format the whole HDD (!) which means you n t need to delete anything before starting the installation of the recovery disc! Recover disc remove everything!

    Your computer initially comes preinstalled with Windows Vista HP on this subject, the manufacturer?  If so, you will need to contact them to get an installation disc.  If you have a Setup for Windows Vista HP disk and a product key, simply insert the DVD and start the installation.

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)

    Your computer may have a recovery partition which is accessible when you first start the computer (usually by typing the key F9 several times will begin the recovery process).

    This will reinstall Windows back to the point when you received everything first, therfore backup important data files (Documents, photos, music, etc.) on external before starting. Be prepaired to reinstall all the software can also be purchased and installed (rounding up of multimedia installation and product key codes).

    How can I get rid of it or how can I
    Re-install firefox without losing any data?

    There is a rash that goes around, and the solution is not yet clear 100%. I suggest try reinstalling this way:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it is not about the deletion of your settings, it comes to ensure that program files are-own and contain no alien code files. As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 37.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Any improvement?
