Hey skozzi

Save all data, because it will be lost when reinstalling

programs need to be reinstalled

You cannot save installed programs

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

they do it for a nominal cost

and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to factory standards

pressing F10 or F11 at startup normally begins this process

to replace the disks of software read the information below

  • How to reinstall vista without disk?

    Well I know there is no legal online space for re - download windows vista and I have read that I had to contact my cell phone provider for the recovery discs and so I have. I bought the discs for $75 and it kept freezing at 90%, regardless of how long I left it so I contacted Sony again and they were this hassle to contact the technician guy seemed like he had no idea how solve the problem and was just talking about things I tried already and then finally made me try the recovery discs again for the 100th time left assuming that could set my problem, which of course didn't. So then I took my laptop to a repair shop who said that my windows was completely wiped out and that I would need to get a new windows. I still have the authenticity of the Microsoft product on the bottom of my laptop. Is it possible that I can reinstall my windows?

    Other than try again with the manufacturer, the only option is to find someone (anyone) who has a real full Vista Installation of the drive of the same size of forest and borrow it to make installation using your own product key.  Then copy the disc if you "there be if needed once again.

    The manufacturer, borrowing a disc, or buy a new copy again (if you can find one).  Those are your only options.  If the drive they sold you is defective, they should be willing to replace it for free - I don "t see why you are having so many problems with them.

    I hope this helps or at least sets your options (that you seem to have already known).

    Good luck!

  • How to reinstall Vista without disks

    I have a computer with Vista and a valid key but I want to install a new hard drive.  Problem is that I also have a new motherboard for my recovery/restore factory disks with Vista on it won't work.  What are my options?

    Here is Microsoft's policy on the replacement of the software: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.

    You can also try to borrow a disk for Installation of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of ANYONE and it will work with your product key (assuming that your motherboard is compatible, and we can install the drivers for it).

    That's all.  There is no legal download an Installation of Vista disc, and if the manufacturer doesn't peut/won't help not because of the new motherboard, there is nothing that we can do to help because it is between you and them. Maybe they will sell you a copy cheap Vista because of your situation (if they wear them again).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite L300D - how to recover Vista without losing a data partition?

    Satellite L300D - 22K
    Code: PSLC8E-05500CCE
    Vista Windows (Home premium)

    HARD drive has two partitions (visible):
    -C: (Vista)
    -D: (data)

    After installing avast antivirus startup takes 20 minutes (corrupt file?, defective HARD drive?)
    Moved all my personal archives to the D: partition
    Don't know if I can create bootable recovery dvd´s (the system is unstable)

    1 * I´d would like to reinstall vista without format partition D * (where are my data)

    2 If the HARD disk is defective, how can I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?

    can 3 not related to the above, I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install)
    32 or 64 bit?

    Hello

    I'll try to help you.

    > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    > What steps should I follow?
    As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
    Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
    > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
    After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
    3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
    Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

    Hi all

    I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
    I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

    The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
    I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

    Hi amigo

    I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

    Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

  • How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

    1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

    I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

    Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

    Hello!

    The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

    Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
    But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

    Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)
