• Recovery Manager tries to 'recover' windows Vista after installing Linux

  Hello

  I installed linux Mint on HP EliteBook 6930p friend that has Recovery Manager on him. Linux works fine, but after choosing Vista in the bootmanager, it starts normally at first but then straight to the Recovery Manager, who wants to restore factory settings. Of course, we want to keep the current settings, how do we disable the Recovery Manager?

  Thank you in advance and the best,

  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?

• Satellite A300 - how to recover Vista after installing XP?

  Hello

  Notes: No there are no no action when I press f12 or f8 in XP but in the last time. I found repair Windows and new Vista recovery

  Thank you

  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! ;)

  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" +)

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.

  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:

• 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.

  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.

  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

• How to reinstall Vista?

  Hello!

  I need help. I have a Toshiba laptop and a few days ago I formatted with a friend who was supposed to know how to do. We have done with the restore cd that I had for vista, but in the process, we have deleted all partitions. My knowledge is very small, but I think that erase something (the recovery partition?) which was necessary to reinstall Vista because the CD does not work.

  Another friend told me that what I need now is an installation for Vista CD and that now that we have erased all my recovery CD does not work.

  Someone has an idea?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know what exactly you were doing, but normally you can reinstall the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a very easy procedure because you only have to make a few clicks. Disk erase the whole HARD drive but that s normal so Don t be to worry about this.

  Alternative, you can use a Microsoft Windows disk. Thus, you can also reinstall Vista, but after that, you will need to download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

  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.

  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:

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

  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

• 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!
