How do I enter my restore partition Windows Vista so I can install it?
I have a hp s3000, it has vista on it in a recovery partition. What I did was completely wiped out the computer except for the recovery partition with a cd of xp that I have (which is the only way I remember how) and now wonder how to get vista out and installation. I tried to look for a little while now and nothing but installing from dvd or upgrade. Please help, thanks!

Does she not get the restored properly - Windows Vista Edition family
I did a backup on 2 of vdv - that, once accomplished was reported as successful. Now, I have restored my laptop to factory settings since she was infected. When I use the Center backup and restore and Advanced Restore option - files from a backup made on a different computer - then the hard drive. He starts the backup asking if some files or all - I choose all files in the backup. It then proceeds...
I got the c# edition installed with which came the SQl-whiel restore the backup of the ih said there is problem with the authorization of users for SQL 2 related records - I click on go come without affecting the rights of the user. In this case 2 times.
In the meanwhiel, it shows a lot of files being restored in the progress bar. Then he gives erroe that the label of the disc in the drive is not 1 user-Pc-DateofBackup-disk name where as the disk name is the default name assigned when the backup is performed, which is the name of user-Pc-DateofBackup (may not be the suffix of disc 1).
Then I choose the option ignore this and drive 2-, it gives the same error...
When I check - I find a lot of files is restored, but they contain no data/files.
Help, please.
Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right. It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your processes more closely than would a full restore (which is not available in Vista Home anyway).
This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course. But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.
Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work): http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.
I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):
1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."
2. I chose "Advanced Restore"
3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.
4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.
5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »
6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue
7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.
8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."
9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available " ")
10. and you press "next".
11 guess what... no error!
12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.
13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.
14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)
I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works). I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.
I hope this helps.

Hello
I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.
You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.
You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

critical stop as stop, and so on, how do I get it back? Windows Vista.
Hello
1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?
Method 1: try to scanner SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 2:
Also try to scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

problems with wireless Vista "local only".
How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?Hello
Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer. Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.
