• How to reinstall Vista without the disc?

  How do I clean reinstall vista without cd, I have the code thouh.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  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.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  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 on a new hard drive in a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC

  Original title: ok, so I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx Entertainment Notebook PC right... and my hard drive crashed just completely, I had a new hard drive and now I want again to install windows Vista on it, but I don't have a restore cd but I have a back on my old operating system... What can I do? Help?

  is there anyway that I can restore my operating system...?

  Hello

  What do you mean by: "I have a return upwards on my old operating system?"

  You make an image and with what program?

  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.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• 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!

• 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 after installing Linux?

  Once tired of these multiple Vista Home crashes that I decided to install Linux (OpenSuse). Although a capable OS, I need some windows software and want to restore Vista on this machine. I have the system restore partition, but when I try to run it, it gives me an error. Apparently Windows no longer recognizes the MBR as it has been recreated by GRUB.

  I don't have a Windows Installer disk, just the installation of system restore (F11).

  Is there a bootable utility I can get to delete the Linux partitions, recreate the C: drive * and * difficulty the MBR? After that, I think I can use the system restore.

  Any advice greatly appreciated.

• 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.
