• How can I recover my deleted windows vista was installed on my laptop?

  Hello world

  I have a LENOVO 3000 v200 laptop. When I bought this, Windows vista had been installed on it. Accidentally, I formatted my hard drive. because I have no CD Win I loos my operating system. But I deleted my windows certification label (the certification is glued to the butoom of my pc) and so I have the product key. Can I get or download my microsoft windows? If so, exactly where?

  You will need to contact Lenovo http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=YAST-3P2QYL to request a set of recovery disks.  You can also have a recovery Partition that will also do the trick - Lenovo to ask how to access if you do, and if it is possible to make your own recovery disks and how to do in the circumstances.  This is recovery Lenovo process - no Microsofts so that they are those who you must contact and obtain the required information and records.  With these discs and your product key, you will be able to restore the computer to the original factory conditions.

  I'm sorry, that we cannot help you more.  Here is Microsoft's policy on replacement software:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-us.  There is no free download of Vista and Microsoft provide copies (if they even copies of Vista more).  You have to deal with Lenovo to this situation.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Read the general reinstall info below:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

  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

  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.

• How can I remove updates for Windows Vista? Duplicates are KB976325, KB973917, KB974318. The system still wants to install updates and just duplicates on again once. First update list has 20, second and third about 18.

  Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates.  Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed.  Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop.  I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.

  LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.

  Don't worry what you see in the installed updates or unable to uninstall the 3 updates, simply 'hide' and move.

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
  (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right-click on KB976325 KB973917 and KB974318, in turn. Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.

• How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?

  My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050.  Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid.  Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk.  What can I do?

  The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key.  This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system.  The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.

  If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

  Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.

  http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/AP/shared/support/DellCare/en/contact_us?c=au&l=en&s=DHS

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

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

  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 case will determine which 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

  See you soon.

  PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:

  If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...

  You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.

  If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.

  If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

• How can I run a program Windows Vista Windows 7?

  How can I run a window vista program in a window 7?

  Many programs of Vista will install and work without problems under Windows 7. If you find difficulties try compatibility mode:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows .

  You can also check the compatibility of programs on the publishers program Web site or here:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/Home .

  Also, specific 64-bit programs will not work on 32-bit Windows (regardless of whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, etc.). Most, but not all, 32-bit programs will run on 64-Bit Windows. For more information. Please see:
