  I have a laptop hp DV2410us. My hard drive of 160 GB is just came out, so I put a 320 GB drive at 7200 RPM and 2 new cards memory sticks for a total of 2 GB. The same memory type more then it came with. I ordered the hp recovery disk. everything seems to load ok, but it keeps restarting after it enters windows and all programs has finished start up. As norton and windows sidebar. There is a small popped up tht box for perhaps a second down on the menu bar tht has been one of the downloaders of system files. Its called fbi Director of mistletoe, I think tht was the name. I tried to click on it until windows stops and looks like it is trying to pull up a screen but closes and the system stops.

  I'll check back every hour approximately. And let me know if you need more information about the system.

  Update: I have advanced and tried to reinstall vista with the recovery disk. It's always the same thing with restarts it. But now it came with a black screen with the word err2err3 on the upper left of the screen. I even restarted the thing several times and tried to use f11.

• How Formatt Satellite A200 with recovery disk

  People...

  I need help.

  I currently own a Satellite A200 and I contain the recovery disc. I have 2 hard drives, 1 with vista, 1 with all the stuff not install as a music. I want to formatt the discs with the recovery disk. I formatted the C drive with vista before, but I don't remember how once again.

  When you use recovery disk for the installation of operating system of the first HARD drive will be formatted completely. This means that all partitions and data will be gone. Second HARD drive can be formatted in Vista.

  So now install new OS by using recovery image.
  Start your laptop and press F12 will be bootable devices
  Place the recovery media in the optical disc drive
  In the list, select CD/DVD and press ENTER
  Follow the menu on the screen (for the most part, you must press button NEXT)

  When the facilities of the OS is finished and you can start Vista, type Windows Explorer (combination WIN + e. click with the right button of the mouse on the second HARD drive and select Format...

  All that s!

• How to reinstall vista, with no installation CD

  I buy my laptop for 3 years, and now I have to reinstall my Windows Vista Home Premium.

  But I don't have an installation CD, there at - it another way to reinstall my Windows

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Reinstall Vista with recovery DVDs

  Hello

  I don't have much experience with things... But here's my story:

  My sister (Satellite L300 10 q) laptop was running very slow after 2 years of use. Then she tried to reinstall everything to factory settings...
  So we did a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery DVD tool, we started the computer with the disk in it... but nothing happened...

  Someone said to start and go to start settings and select CD/DVD to start and so we did.
  After that a progress of the installation came...
  We had to choose a language and click Next and the system warned us that everything would be removed...
  This is no problem, because it has saved his important files on an external hard drive.

  After this progress of the entire installation, systems tried restarting, a blue screen came and if it restarts again and again... If we chose not to scan, it kept going on blue screen and reboot...

  We are really powerless...
  What has gone wrong? And what can we do about it?

  Thank you

• How to install Vista from recovery disks?

  HP Pavilion a6722sc, Vista 32 bit operating system.

  My hard drive warns against "imminent failure".

  I'll have to buy a new hard drive.

  I have the Vista recovery disks.

  HP says that recovery disks are only for repair purposes, do not to install a new window.

  Could someone please give some advice on

  How can I install Vista on the new hard drive?

  / L

  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 reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

  The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

  I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
  I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

  Hello

• Recover the system with recovery disks

  I have a Pavilion Elite desktop computer. I tried to reset/recover my system with the recovery disks that I created when I bought the system. But I get the following messeage: "system recovery disks do not support this computer. You cannot restore this system with these discs. "GOOD, then I thought that my disks must be bad and ordered a set of HP. I come from them and tried again to restore my system... EVEN COMING? What's wrong? Need help.

  The recovery disk problems Troubleshooter need effects?

  There is another thing that you could do that provide the Windows key is always visible on your COA sticker.  Since it was a multi-configurable system you should know it was professional, Home Premium or ultimate edition. Please be aware that what I propose will not contain the goodies HP provided with recovery disks, you will need to reinstall all your programs and data.

  Go to this site and download the version of Windows 7 ISO which matches what you had initially and have your key ready.

  Once downloaded the file ISO, you can burn on a DVD using the Windows 7 DVD drive or another DVD burner you have:

• My hard drive has failed. I have Microsoft XP media center edition 2005. How can I get a recovery disk?

  I had a hard disk crash.  I don't care about data loss, but I bought a new hard drive and you want to install Windows XP media center edition 2005.  I have a sticker on the side of my pc with the product code.  How can I get a recovery disk?  Download the program from another PC?

  As your original failed hard drive, you would of course not be able to access any partition contained on this hard drive recovery.  Therefore, your best option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer and see if you can get the installation of their own media.

• Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

  Hey

  I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

  My specs are:
  Intel Pentium
  2 GB OF RAM
  Hard drive 160 GB

  > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

• How to reinstall vista on the recovery drive D?

  About 2 years, a Sunday, my hard drive crashed and I was totally novice in time (as much as now, more I forgot the documentation provided with it, my "old" laptop Gateway) so I called a computer repair place listed on Craigslist (no classes please) and said that they could fix and I should just bring him.  Well, I need desperately so I took ("in" is a private home).  Hours later, I got a call that it has been fixed.  They did replace some hardware and the computer was working again, but they gave me the 'good news' that he had thrown an installation of Windows 7 free of charge.  I wasn't happy, but as I quickly bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it anyway, I learned to love it.  With a new laptop, I don't use it much anyway.

  A hinge fails to my 'new' HP laptop and a COMPUTER technician who is a friend is fixing to me.  In the meantime, I have to use this "old" laptop.  He began to act up and I did a system restore, which did not help.  I have recently met a disc of the operating system for this 'old' computer and it's a good thing because little time after the system restore, I received continuous messages of MSE I wasn't "authentic" Windows  It got really teed OFF... some good news-free-install, right?  I certainly didn't use software counterfeit... the only inconvenience factor is more than enough for me to come back on the right path.

  I decided to re - install my real honest to-God-Vista from the bridge of the operating system disk included.  I never had anything like the front and of course, when I was asked where to put the installation, I wasn't sure and so I put it on the C drive, thinking (just think) that things could spill over into the D recovery drive.  He does something like that.

  I tried to go through the steps I used to re - install Vista but it doesn't seem to want to pay attention from now to the OS disk when I use F10 at startup.  What can I do to get this on the recovery disk?  I think it should be there.

  I've already replaced all sorts of files, etc. from the backup I made before I did the re-install, if that makes a difference any.

  Please give me some instructions to get my OS on my D recovery drive files.  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can't put it on the recovery disk (Partition); end of the story.

  Your recovery Partition on your hard drive was photographed during the production of your computer by the manufacturer.

  If it is destroyed, removed, etc., damaged you cannot replace / reinstall or repair.

  You have the DVD anyway.

  See you soon.

• 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?
