  Hello!

  I think for the moment that you are not able to restore your previous version of Windows or you created the before recovery disk?

  I put t know what phone you have but all Toshiba notebook, they will be delivered with Vista without a recovery disk, but you can create one yourself. After you start the laptop the first time, you get the following message:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
  + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
  + Gets severely damaged.

  But now it s late to create the recovery disk and use the disk recovery HARD works, you must run the factory settings. This means that you can install your own version of Windows and then you start the drive HARD Toshiba Recovery function.

  Sorry mate, but the only way I see at the moment is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly:

  If you have the recovery disk, you can restore your Windows version or let's say the factory settings.

  Hello

  After installing another OS, you can retrieve only Vista if you start from the Toshiba Recovery disk and install the content. There is no disk HARD recovery option more, it means that the HARD drive recovery partition will not help you.
  In addition the Windows RE partition has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s a Vista feature.

  Then boot from the Toshiba recovery disc and will respond to factory settings! ;)

• lack of Vista after installing Ubuntu

  ORIGINAL TITLE: If it is not broken!

  Where is my win vista? After installing Linux (Ubuntu) o/s from a cd free, thinking that it was side by side with vista (according to instructions) instead of vista has been crushed and this linux operating system hardly worked. Now l am running no genuine win 7 just to get the computer running again, which is not very good. Wish l had not disturbed, so how do l get vista back please. Also where my hd space should be 300 GB, is it now to about 180 GB

  Hello

  Missing hard drive space can through how you partitioned the drive hard when you installed Ubuntu.

  We do not know how set you up.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks Vista.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "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.

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

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You will need to check if this Recovery Partitiion is still after your other installed OS.

  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

• No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek

  Hello.

  I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.

  The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.

  My troubleshooting so far include:

  -Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works

  -I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers

  -Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front

  -Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device

  -Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html

  -Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

  -Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers

  -Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game

  -Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program

  -In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.

  So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!

• Can satellite L300-29V - I roll back to Vista after installing XP?

  Simple question: assuming I made the recovery discs, is it possible to erase Vista, install XP and then re install Vista using recovery disks? The laptop is a Satellite L300-29V.

  A big thank you in advance I can see no clear answer elsewhere.
  John.

  Hello

  If you created the recovery disc, you can do what you want. Why? Very simple: the recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings. This means that the version of Vista pre-installed with all the drivers and tools. It is him you even have started the laptop, the first time.

  You can install XP, Linux or whatever you want. Demarrer start from the recovery disk, follow the instructions on the screen and you go back to Vista.

  I hope this information is useful for you.

Of course, we want to keep the current settings, how do we disable the Recovery Manager?

  I suggest you make a set of HP recovery disks or USB recovery media before deleting access recovery.

  Deactiviating Recovery Manager is too easy.

  Remove the recovery partition.

  Are you sure you want to do this? Activation, it is much more difficult.

  I hope that you advise your friend aware of the consequences of the removal of the partition.

  Why not run a live version of Linux Mint from a USB key instead?

  Best regards

• How to reinstall Vista after installing Linux?

  Once tired of these multiple Vista Home crashes that I decided to install Linux (OpenSuse). Although a capable OS, I need some windows software and want to restore Vista on this machine. I have the system restore partition, but when I try to run it, it gives me an error. Apparently Windows no longer recognizes the MBR as it has been recreated by GRUB.

  I don't have a Windows Installer disk, just the installation of system restore (F11).

  Is there a bootable utility I can get to delete the Linux partitions, recreate the C: drive * and * difficulty the MBR? After that, I think I can use the system restore.

  Any advice greatly appreciated.

• Can not recover partition after installing a new operating system

  I recently bought a laptop G62-a31so and it came with windows 7 x 64, from the beginning, it could not start most of the programs, they would break everything simply, I got the idea I want to install windows vista on, which works well with my previous PC, I planned to create discs of recovery beforehand, but I couldn't be bothered when I discovered he required 4! DVD-s and it says in your manual that I can recover my system at any time of the partition. So I formatted the partition that has windows 7 on it before and installed vista, then I discovered that you have some drivers vista for this laptop, I tried to return to the status quo by the recovery of the partition, you press ESC on startup, then f11 in boot menu, but he started just vista.

  I would like to know how I could restore my system to factory settings now?

  You can try this, which works for many people (not all) >

  1.right - click on the "Computer" icon and select manage.
  2. This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
  3. on the left side of the MMC console, click "Disk management" and it will show you all the partitions.
  4. right - click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Partition Active."
  5. when the warning message appears, select 'Yes' – Reboot and it will automatically start in the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).

• Could not start the desktop Vista after installing Windows Vista SP2, error: 0XC0190036.

  Original title: vista sp2 problem.

  I have a laptop that I haven't used in a while.  I took on a trip and received the message that the updates are available.  One was SP2.  After the update is complete, it failed to start with a message OXC0190036.

  Startup Repair said that he could not solve the problem.  Restoration of the system has not only restore - labeled SP1 and it allows you to finalize the restoration of files and stays there.  (I waited for 3 hours without change).
  I have a XP install disc that I used before installing Win 7 on my desktop, but it does not give me the opportunity to do an installation.
  Can enter the command prompt, I'm perplexed as to what to do.
  I want to get this laptop that works so I can give to someone who needs a faster machine.

  Hello

  XP disk will not help you to fix Vista

  As the system restore does not try a startup repair and / or a restoration of the system using a Microsoft Vista DVD

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/repair-Windows-with-Windows-Startup-Repair/

  Table of contents

  1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
  2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
  3. Advanced Tools Overview
  4. Conclusion

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Here is a link to it:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2011/Windows-Recovery-discs-updated-reinstated/

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

  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)

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

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  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.

  You are the very welcome.

  No, you don't need to install all the drivers.

  Let me give you a hand on getting some basic installed drivers.

  One is not available in support of your laptop and driver page, but it is very important to install this one first. It's the chipset driver that installs a lot of drivers from the motherboard.

  First download is what you need. Install and restart the PC

  The next device you want to install is the video (graphics card). Install and reboot.

  Who should get the best of them

  I left deliberately driver wireless card and the software because as you can see, there could be one of a few different model cards installed in your laptop wireless.

  So, after getting all these drivers installed, go back to Device Manager and click on the device you see labeled network controller and using the info above, after the hardware for him ID so I know what model of wireless card you have in there.

• Vista - after installing SP1 computer does not.
