Ways to reinstall Vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

________________________________________________________________________

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Question about the cmdlet set-hard drive

    Hi out there,.

    I would like to move a group of new data warehouses vmdk using the cmdlet set-hard drive.

    But I want to start moving just a svmotion operation at a time.

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities.

    The cmdlet Set - hard drive doen't have a parameter - RunAsync, as for example, the Move-VM cmdlet. This means that the each hard drive Set command must finish before the next command can begin. To this effect, you don't have to perform the synchronization of tasks yourself when you use the cmdlet Set-hard drive.

    The cmdlet Set-HDD wants something, such that returned by Get - hard drive to the hard drive setting.

    @stu

    Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

    Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

    Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  • How can I get windows 8 to recognize my hard drive recovered from xp?

    I have connected a recovered hard drive (Western digital) outside my computer crashed, that was a win xp to another computer running windows 8.  The new computer doesn't recognize at all.  Nothing does show up as an extra hard drive.  There is in fact no answer I can see at all.  Scary is as I said this is a new computer and I'm not at all familiar with where to find anything.  I have to go to 'help' to even find the control panel I am as unfamiliar with it.  I would like to import all of my pictures and documents from the old hard drive.  Any help please?

  • How to find files of outlook data on a hard drive removed from a windows xp machine?

    My phone no longer works and I was able to get most of the data of my backups that they did not understand my outlook e-mail accounts. I have the removed disk and got a hard drive enclosure. Problem is that I can not locate the outlook.pst file. Do you know which directory it is?

    The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserNameSettings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and the default name is Outlook.pst

    You can place Outlook files anywhere that you want so you will have to search for *.pst to find them all [assuming you have created several].

    If you want to put them in a place which is included in your backups in Windows 7, then:

    1 close Outlook after consuming at least once [the file is created on first use].

    2. go in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook [you must show hidden files to reveal the path to get there, or you can simply paste the path into the address box of Windows Explorer to join directly the]

    3 move the Outlook.pst you will find at a convenient location in My Documents.

    4. open Outlook.  Will report you that it cannot find Outlook.pst and will give you the ability to browse for it then point to where you put the file.  [When you open Outlook, it will look at the new location without asking any other]

  • Rotation of HARD drive down every 2-3 seconds on the Satellite R830

    Hello!

    After 2-3 hours of work the typical rotation noise from the HARD drive to the top/spin down can be heard of my * Satellite R 830 - 146 (PT32LE) *. He can continue to about 10 minutes or fix it more long and go simple it is to sleep for laptop and he wakes up again.

    I am sure, is not a normal behavior and not without danger for the hard drive. I have all the settings changed in the windows battery profiles, only Toshiba preinstalled by default.
    There is also no any software preinstalled powersave or hdd - excluding the Toshiba products.

    You have any ideas how to solve this problem?
    There is only a single moment suspect I see: ubuntu-server in virtualbox, but there do not have laptop-mode-tools installed at all and it uses a virtual drive, so, in my opinion, there would be no effect on the actual hard drive.

    > I'm sure, is not a normal behavior and not without danger for the hard drive. I have all the settings changed in the windows battery profiles, only Toshiba preinstalled by default.

    I think that this happens because there is a background process that access the HARD disk and to read or write the data.
    There are a lot of temporal data that would be stored on the HARD drive. For example for the use of internet or similar browsers, this is not rare and can occur if the process would not properly be cancelled.

    You can start the Task Manager and check the processes tab.
    You will find all the processes running in the background that could access the HARD disk.

    You can also try putting HARD drive into suspend mode
    This could be done in the power of Windows 7 options.

    -> Panel-> options choose-> of the power station of advanced settings.

    Now, you can suspend the HARD drive after the laptop has not been used for a specific period of time.

  • How to delete hard drive partitions

    Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

    Hi Luke,.

    Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

    The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

    As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

    My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

  • Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

    Can I reinstall windows from this folder?

    Hello

    You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
    If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

    Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
    So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

    Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

    But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

  • Hard drive missing from 'My Computer' but installed and visible in Device Manager

    I just bought and set up a new computer, the Intel core i5 processor and motherboard asus p7p55d the with Windows7 64-bit home premium. I have 2 hard drives, sata 1 500 sata drives gig and concert 1 250 drive.
    Windows is installed on the 500 GB drive.
    In the bios, I see the two hard drives in Device Manager, I see both hard drives but in 'my computer', the hard drive is missing, which means that I have no use of it...
    It is like a record of work for the next Adobe programs.
    I tried to disconnect the drive physically and re - install, I uninstalled in Device Manager.
    I am at a loss of reason why I can't use this drive, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Check disk management to see if the drive is there. It must be formatted before you can see in the computer.

    Right-click on computer and select manage, then disk management.

  • How to change hard drives (windows 7)

    Hello, if my area 51 Windows 7 hard drive crashed, and I was able to get another hard drive with windows 7 on it installed. However, the computer does not recognize the new hard drive. but when I do a scan in the Bios it clearly says it's there. I know there is a kind of security with Winows 7 precaution that makes this whole painful process, but I do not know how to work around. Currently I am running a Linux emulator for my OS but I need Windows for work reasons. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    It is highly unlikely that a copy of Windows installed on a computer with a different hardware will work when used on another computer. Rather than try to do what you're trying, you must perform a new installation of Windows on your new drive. Boot from the Windows 7 installation DVD and follow the instructions for a clean install.
