How to re - install vista

"The manufacturer was necessary in order to provide a way to reinstall Windows. "If a set of disks came with the laptop, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install of Vista.

I was told this in another thread after keep for lack of updates to my computer and he suggested to reinstall vista.

I have a Packard Bell EasyNote computer, how to find it (Please be gentle with my ignorance!).

More to the question how can I reinstall vista via this method?

Here is the General info.

Contact Packard Bell for the EXACT info: http://www.packardbell.com/

How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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, 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):

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.

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

    Hello

    The Vista installation is not difficult.
    He just put the Vista disk in the STRANGE and then start from the disc.
    The installation will start automatically.

    But this will format your HARD drive and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.

    > How can I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I guess you have a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    If you want to retrieve the OS installed by Toshiba, then you need to use the Toshiba Recovery for recovery disk.

    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask because 108 F is not known to me

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    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

    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 '

  • Equium A210-171 - how can I re - install Vista

    Hello

    I was updating operating systems (Vista 32 bit) Microsoft online when the laptop (Equium A210-171) stop.
    It may have reached the limit of overheating and this is the reason that he stop (I guess).

    I let him cool computer down and when I tried to boot from the instructions as per
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1845345& rpn = PSL48U & modelFilter = L45-S7423 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 107376866

    the computer seems to hang.

    When I get to start in safe mode, the computer seems to hang on \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys or another file system.

    Action press 0 and then turn on the computer with the recovery CD in the drive is also reflected by a lock to the top of the system leading to a black screen only. By pressing C on startup also has the same effect.

    As a test, I put a different Linux Ubuntu CD in the drive to see if I could run another operating system on a hard drive.
    This action was successful. But my kids need Windows for games they play.

    So, my question is... how to re - install Vista. The factory re - install Setup seems to not work.

    Thank you very much
    Tommy.

    > As a test, I put a Linux Ubuntu CD in the drive to see if I could run another operating system on a different hard drive.
    I mean that you have installed a Linux on a different partition and not of HARD drive. Right.
    Well, it means that the HDD is OK and the laptop should run with Windows as well.

    > The action of pressing 0 and then turn on the computer with the recovery CD in the drive is also reflected by a lock to the top of the system leading to a black screen only. By pressing C on startup also has the same effect.

    All first of all I recommend to start the BIOS and set boot from CD/DVD drive at the beginning.
    Then save the changes and restart the device.
    While pressing the power button, press F12.
    This allows you to get the boot on the screen menu.
    Insert the disc of Windows installation (or the Toshiba Recovery disk) and choose ODD (CD/DVD drive)
    Then laptop should begin to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

    Notes; If you use the Windows CD (not recovery disk) then you need to change an option in the BIOS.
    Select compatible SATA mode and save the changes.

  • How to install Vista from recovery disks?

    If the recovery discs came from HP or they are the ones that you made when the computer is new, then they will (or should) restore the computer to "like new" even on a new hard drive.

    My hard drive warns against "imminent failure" can save all data, pictures, music, etc. before the disk dies.

    Replace the drive before it dies, and perhaps that the data can be copied to the new disk - or try this:

  • How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

    Hello

    I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
    When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

    But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
    I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

    How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

    I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

    If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
    Shane

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.
