  You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

  Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

• I bought a Vista with upgrade to Win7 computer, how do I use Vista on another system

  I upgraded my system to Win - 7, but I bought the HP computer & system with a qualified Vista - Win 7 upgrade. Because I had to pay for this program Vista already and she is saved for me with keys, how this Vista OS can be installed on a HP laptop?

  Hello

  You cannot install your pre-installed Vista that came with your HP computer on another laptop

  Preinstalled OEM Licenses (including HP, Acer, etc.) are linked to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

  OEM licenses are not transferable.

  And even if it is a retail license you cannot transfer in this situation.

  Your something Windows 7 UPGRADE license (legal, Windows operating system activated) necessary for the upgrade of.

  And that 'something' has Vista.

  Now, the Vista license allows you to use the Windows 7 upgrade license and is now part of the Windows 7 license.

• Satellite A200 - how to replace Vista with XP?

  I received a Satellite A200, because the owner was heartily sick of Windows Vista which came installed on it. Everything I have heard talk about Vista convinces me that I don't want to have anything to do with it. In addition to my wife - who will use the computer, serves to XP and wants to continue to use it.

  After a day and a half looking for instructions on how to get the A200 to boot from a CD on which SATA drivers required as well as the files of XP installation disc was compiled AND burn 4 CD, I can't always get things working!

  Please... surely someone in the Toshiba Land has successfully dealt with this problem before! Guess I'll try tomorrow, but some help would be appreciated of course.

  Hi spktrm,.

  Yes, you re right and you must integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation disc. Therefore, you will need to download the Intel Storage Manager driver package that contains this SATA driver you need. Here in the forum there is already an article interesting how to proceed:
  [How to integrate the AHCI SATA driver during the installation of Windows XP? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=38]

  Alternative you can install XP without this driver if you change the HARD drive in the BIOS from AHCI Compatible. Then, you use the normal Microsoft Windows XP disk. ;)

• How to reinstall Vista without the disc?

  How do I clean reinstall vista without cd, I have the code thouh.

  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 to activate capslocks with acer s3 ultrabook

  I can't activate my screen caplocks witness? How can I get this feature on my ACER S 3 ULTRABOOK?

  I suggest that ask you Acer.  It is more likely a hardware problem a matter of Windows.  He has certainly nothing to do with your comments on the functioning of the MS support community forum - which is where you have posted your question.

• How to activate windows after upgrading my memory and HDD, motherboard?

  I built my system with a full copy of Windows Vista four years ago.  Since then, I've bought a 3 license upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium.  I've improved this system and a laptop with this copy.  Now, I did a major update on my main system, replace the card mother, cpu, memory, and hard drive.  I made a new installation using the disks in windows 7, assuming that he asked to give me my Vista drive, but he never did.  The installation is completed successfully and now, three days later, I received an activation error.  The automated phone system didn't work either, saying: I did not meet licensing requirements.  What can I do?

  Try the phone activation, do not meet all the guests until given the opportunity to speak to a real person

Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. You will see a new option "Repair your computer", select this option and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.
