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 make the recovery disk/s of the recovery Partition in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, about what you are up and running again.

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.

  • Windows Vista recovery disc

    I can't load the Windows Vista recovery disks (3 in total).  The Recovery Manager has not opened.  I went up to step 3 only.  I guess the restore disc (CD 1) failed.

    Hello:

    Sometimes the recovery disks do not work for one reason or another.

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc that should at least get an operating system reinstalled on your PC.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then the other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    Update:  This is the new link to your own Vista installation media.

    Click on the link below and then click on the link PDF Guide of reinstalling Windows.

    Follow the instructions on pp 295-297.

    How to make a windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installation disk?  I have my product key. Or where can I get one?

    Hello

    There are different methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, eMachines and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://www.eMachines.com/EC/en/us/content/home

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    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.

    What version of Win 8.1 is the unit having now? If it's the PRO version, then probably you need to enter a product key if you reinstall. Try to download using the tool of media win 8.1 64 bit (no PRO version). Use it to install Win'a 8.1. The product key should be detected and you will not be required to enter as described above.

  • How can I get or create a windows vista recovery disc? My system restore does not work!

    Attempted to purchase the HP recovery Dics... Has said that Vista is obsolete!

    You can read the product key on the COA at the base / side of your system? If so go here "Microsoft Downloads wiki":

    Follow the instructions to make a USB bootable stick for Vista, and then select 32-bit or 64-bit according to availability of the driver and the amount of RAM you have etc.
    You will need your key and you will need to activate by phone. I give full instructions doing so here 'a clean install of Windows Vista/7 wiki:
    The clean install above applies to a Dell system; that you do not use a Dell when I say press F2 or F12 (step 6), you'll probably need to press another button. In step 4 you will need to go to go on the site of HP opposes the Dell one. Step 11 ignore any mention of specific software Dell mentioned however the recommended software mentioned is always useful.
    Note for Vista I only did a Dell via this method, and it worked fine. I couldn't try all other systems because the COA is faded and product keys were unrecognizable. For Windows 7, however I did 2 HPs through this method and many valleys.
    You can also look on eBay for reinstallation of Vista HP DVDs, but they can be hard to find.
