How to reinstall Vista on PC Toshiba laptop with new hard drive?

Hard drive from my Toshiba laptop of sisters died as well as its internal fan and she asked me to fix it, well I got a new hard drive and replaced the dead with a new internal fan and works perfectly fine with a Linux Live CD. However, she had previously Vista Home Premium installed on it, and there was no installation CD, just 2 recovery discs. Now, I was wondering where I could get an iso image of vista UNACTIVATED so I can use his legitimate product for her key. (I also have a week to achieve and I repair to other computers as well, which are not a problem, so time is of the essence)

Also, I have no money and can't afford to get a Best Buy installation CD, as the operating system has already been installed on the laptop/OEM computer. If that would be legal so getting an online and burning a black CD and use it to get Vista on this new hard drive of his?

In addition, I know how to install its drivers, and upgrade from SP1 to SP2 via Windows Update Manager, all I need is a vista installation CD Home premium to get his computer upward and execution of how she wants to.

* original title - I need a Vista Home Premium Installation CD Unactivated *.

Thanks for the quick response, so you're saying I haft to buy an installation CD to install legally?

Hey mikethedj4

None

I never said you had to buy a dvd installation anywhere in my answer

I said that there is no free and legal download

read all of my answer

I advised you to start from the 1st recovery disk and if you have any problems contact toshiba at the link I suppied you with

or follow the rest of my advice on borrowing a microsoft dvd vista and using your product key with him

what he may not know is that microsoft vista dvd contains all versions of vista

This is the product key that installs the correct version of the dvd

There are 2 microsoft dvd vista a 32-bit and one for 64-bit operating system

most of the computers unless asked when bought normally come with the version of vista 32 bit

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

  • How do I reinstall Windows 7 Upgrade disk on the new hard drive

    Hi all.
    I had a hard drive crash on my Dell XPS420 who settled with Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7 (from the offer of activation of 3 site) about 18 months ago. I am trying to buy a new hard drive and install Windows 7 onto the new drive. I only have 7 disc ultimate improvement. I don't have a Vista disc. What is my best course of action? Thanks in advance for the help & support.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

    Hey,.

    Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
    I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

    Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

    How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
    The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

    The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
    I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
    There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

    You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
    The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

    The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

  • How to recover HP Recovery Manager after replacing a new hard drive

    Recently I have lots of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info and I ran a boot hp test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so I looked online and it says that this means that my hard drive has failed.

    IM planning to buy a new hard drive. I don't have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so I tried to copy the recovery partition hp from the old drive to the new. I don't know how do it, I wonder if anyone knows. I have no recovery disks and I don't think I can order a so I want to restore my new hard drive without the use of drives and using the my old hard drives at hp Recovery Manager

    I bought the computer to the United States, but I moved to China so im assuming I want to buy a new HARD drive that is not Hp? I don't know if it will work yet cause I hear it must come from a drive HARD hp to work

    Hello

    You can choose the relevant HARD drive of any manufacturer you want, but if you want to re-create the recovery Partition, you need to do a "Factory Reset" with a set of recovery discs - if you don't have these, you will need to order them from HP.

    However, there may well be a workaroud allowing you to reinstall the operating system without having to buy these discs.

    Can you post back with what follows.

    1. the complete model number and the laptop Nr - see here for a guide to the location of such information.

    2 version full of operating system provided with your laptop (that is, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).

    3. can you still read the activation key product of 25 characters on your COA label (don't post back with it, just to confirm if it is still readable) - an example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Kind regards

  • Removed the HARD disk with MBR/BCD who installed Vista x 64 Business on the new HARD drive

    I have vista x 64 business installed on a HARD drive, but it was (and still is) installed on an older HDD aswell and the smallest, the result being that when I removed the old hard drive to put in another computer, I was unable to boot the copy of vista on the new HARD disk as the MBR or the BCD bit that allows me to choose what vista start is on the old HDD. Using the installation DVD I can get up the command prompt and run Bootrec.exe without the old HARD disk installed, which can find the vista installation, but fails to solve the problem. I'm not an expert so I can't properly use Bootrec.exe, and startup recovery also does not work, although it seems to say that something to do with the startup has been fixed. Is it possible that I can get the computer running without the old HDD without having to reinstall vista on the new hard drive? Currently, I put the old HARD return drive to start the new installation of vista.

    When you move an old hard drive to a new computer, the installed operating system will find new hardware (motherboard, etc.).

    A clean install is a normal requirement, as no drivers are installed for the new hardware on the operating system.
    Thus, it will not start.

    How to do a clean install:

    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

  • How do we install the operating system on a new hard drive?

    Hello

    I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disc supplied with my notebook, but while the laptop was working fine for a few days there is now an error message when I try to load windows, something along the lines of "image error, check the Setup disk.

    I did something wrong?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Installation on the new HARD drive is very easy. All you need is Toshiba Recovery disk and you must boot from that disk to begin the installation. Everything is done automatically and factory settings are restored to the new HARD disk.

  • How to put windows 7 64 bit on my new hard drive?

    Hello

    I have 2 years, this laptop Satellite L505-13j.
    My hard drive is damaged, slow, small. I buy the new hard drive, but I don't have the CD with windows backup and software for this type of laptop.
    Download windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and software for hardware on my laptop? Where?
    With the computer came only CD with windows 7 32 bit

    Original recovery image can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to install the clean version of the OS by using the original installation disc of Microsoft or to order the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Of course the second option is much better. To the original installation of disk aid will be very simply and you have activate OS version. Original Toshiba recovery disc can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA

    Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)

    I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD.  With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.

    DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS

    Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message

    Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed.  IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.

    Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.

    What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?

    Why not install the operating system?

    Anywhere between 5 and 20% (depending on the production) new hard disks are defective. Test your drive with the factory utility.

  • How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

    My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

    When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I reinstall Vista (free) after the failure of my hard drive?

    My hard drive needs a total deletion.  After a reformat can I reinstalled my Vista Ultimate without having to buy a new copy?  (I have the same question about Office 2007, streets and trips 2009).

    Thank you.

    Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $25-50.

    If your office and streets & trips are preinstalled, you would contact the computer mftr. for the installation of replacement media. Otherwise reinstall them using a CD that you have.
