  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.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

  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

  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.

• 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!

• 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.

  If this is not a picture read more.

  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.

• How to reinstall windows without losing any data on the Satellite A100

  Hello everyone!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop and would like to reinstall Windows. The disc was divided into 2 parts. WinXp Home is installed on the first.

  What happens with the data on the secondary disk if I use the recovery CD? It will be formatted?
  And if this is the case, how can I reinstall winXP Home without losing the data on the second drive?

  You can install the OS on the first partition only and all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted. To do this procedure of departure recovery and after choosing the language button tablecloth call SETUP. It is placed on the right side.

  If I like what you must remember he chose the second option. The first one can be used when you want to create the new partition (DO NOT choose this one).

  Bye and good luck!

• How to reinstall Vista 32 bit without disk or restore partition?

  How to re - install 32 bit Vista Home Basic Edition without recovery or disk partition - laptop Presario CQ60? Can I please download the operating system?

  Thanks for this PDF link. It is no longer useful. I downloaded the three files + service pack and I'll have a go at creating the bootable installation media just for the exercise. The product key is readable. The Presario CQ60, belongs to a neighbor, and originally had a 32-bit Vista Home Basic installed but the workshop re-installed a 64 bit OS when it became so slow as to be unusable. I saved partitions with all personal data using Acronis, but had no time to use the recovery Partition before leaving on vacation. The repair shop wiped everything, including the recovery Partition, before reinstalling the operating system. I am pleased to say that the repair shop agreed to re - install the 32-bit operating system so I have now to do something "real". Nevertheless thank you for pointing me to the finger this informative document. It will come useful when I go to install Windows7 on my own PC.

• 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 on Satellite L300D

  How can I reinstall Windows Vista on this laptop because I reformatted the drive.
  So that being said, help!
  I have a windows vista Home premium disk and I got the serial number of the computer before I reformatted.

  I have no recovery disk.

  Hello

  This laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery and it was possible to create the DVD of own recovery using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool.
  It seems that you didn't create this disk before you reformatted the HARD drive.

  Well, that was a big mistake!
  If you have an original DVD of Vista then you could install Vista using this disc.
  Then, you can visit the page of the Toshiba driver and could download the Vista drivers needed!
