How can I reinstall (lost) Windows Virtual XP Mode in Windows 7 using the previous or your virtual hard disks?

I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 Pro X 64 to address an obscure problem. In doing so, I lost my virtual XP Mode of Windows installation. But I still have the virtual hard drive related.

  1. Can I reinstall the VXP in order to use the old hard drive virtual?
  2. If I reinstall VXP using the VHD file, will be what I have already installed there would still be available?

Hello

I am happy to know that the problem has been resolved. Please do not hesitate to get back to us if the problem re occurs.

    The printer works at all with this cable?

    The cable has recognized and installed by Windows XP when you logged on to the computer?

    If the cable has been recognized, what steps have you taken to install the printer then (be as accurate and complete as possible)?

    You get an error message?  If so, please provide, without paraphrasing.

    This printer has already been installed on this computer?  If so, with what type of connection?

    Toshiba support

    Contact Toshiba and ask them to send you a set of recovery Vista disc/s.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    Then reinstall Vista with them.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    See if you still have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista home Premium.

    Try this and see if it works:

    Toshiba Recovery:

    To access the recovery partition Toshiba, powering the laptop. Press 0 (zero) key and turn on the laptop. Keep holding down the zero key until the TOSHIBA logo, which is where you should start to type the zero key repeatedly. Stop if the device emits a sound signal or when the TOSHIBA logo disappears. The screen should light up * MODE of RECOVERY of HARD drive * for a fraction of a second, and then load the Toshiba Recovery program directly from the hard drive.

    Note that this clears all data and reload all the software factory default. Be sure to back up all your important personal data beforehand!

    I have a gateway W34DUA with windows vista it will not load vista how do you get the thing to reinstall without a disk I'm thinking it was pre loaded

    or can I get a disc and use the product key from the back and reinstall?

    Hello

    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.

    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)

    "Full factory recovery"

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

    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:

    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.
