  Staples load Vista on my computer but never gave me the disc, I need to format my drive, but I have to for on activation code reinstall. What should do?

  You probably have a restore disk partition that can be used to reinstall Windows. See your documentation or check with Staples to learn more.

  Note that formatting the drive and reinstalling WIndows are a very bad approach to address any problem. What makes you think you need to do this?

  And please note that a subject line that says: "What to do?" we said nothing and is likely to get your question ignored by many people. The subject must always be a brief description of what the problem is - in your case, something like "Want to reinstall but have no disc."

• Can I reinstall Windows 7 without a disc?

  I had problems with my computer and I had to reinstall Windows.  The computer works fine now, but the problem is that I had a Windows Vista disk (the computer was shipped with Vista).  However, shortly after I bought my laptop, I've upgraded to Windows 7 (student edition or something like that) but I did via the internet; I never had a disc.  So when I reinstalled Windows, I reinstalled Vista.  I want to know is there a way for me to reinstall or "reupgrade" from my computer to Windows 7 without disc.

  If you purchased Windows from the Microsoft Store, you can log on to your account and select the correct level of bit for download, then download.

• Reinstall Windows XP without OEM disc

  I work on a computer with Windows XP Home Edition.  Safe mode does not start and I'm unable to uninstall or install programs.  The user has a malicious AOL software package that detects a threat (but he is unable to do something about this).  Without being able to install the software or to access in safe mode, I don't think I can do a lot.

  I think I need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows.  However, the OEM Windows XP Home Edition disk disappeared.  The product key is known and I do not have a Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 discs.  I'll be able to install Windows using the original product key with this drive?

  The good news is that the Dell XP installation CD are in every way. And not only CD - R copy of them! You can get one on Ebay at a dealership with a rating less than $20, including shipping. But surely a relative, friend, neighbor colleague you know has one of them - they are everywhere! And when you use a Dell XP installation CD, there is no need to worry about the product key thanks SLP (System-locked preinstallation) technology that Dell uses.

  If, and only if, this CD - R is a perfect copy of the correct original CD, then it can be used with success since you have already a valid COA and the product key. The problem is that there is no way to really know what's on this CD - r... (Well, I guess, that there is a way if you can determine the MD5 checksum and compare it to the checksum MD5 of the real McCoy.)

• How to reinstall Windows XP without formatting my HARD drive?

  Hello
  Firstly, sorry if there are a lot of typos in my post but I did not often speak (write) English...
  I have a big problem and I would like to reinstall windows XP, but I don't want to format my HD.
  When I was with Win98, I had to insert the boot disk and the Windows 98 CD and I could just reinstall windows 98!
  With the Cd rescued provide my computer (Satellite A80) I can format my HD and install windows XP. Is there a solution to reinstall all windows Xp and keep the other file?

  Hello

  Well, I recommend to create a second partition on the HARD drive. There you can reinstall you new version of Windows XP.
  If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD, you must use the Expert mode to recover the operating system, because there you can choose the partition.

  Please check the Toshiba FAQS on this topic:

• Reinstall windows xp without a disc

  my computer is slowing down, so I tried to reinstall windows xp by using winnt32.exe, but when I tried to reinstall it I got the error message "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

  WARNING: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered. »

  What can I do?

  > I tried to use winnt32.exe to redo the windows, but he says that my current version of windows is more recent than the version that I tried to replace it with (default factory version) also the category that I chose sounded closest to what im trying to, I don't mean to fix directly /reprise from my computer

  Looks like you try to perform a repair installation after booting from the hard drive, which will not work offshore. Even if you were able to boot from the 6 floppies or something like a Bart PE CD, or if you actually had the correct version of the XP installation CD, a repair installation will simply not help. You must either treat the cause of your slow or perform a clean installation. You say you have an eMachines computer, but you still have not told us the model and model number! As long as we do not have this information, it will be difficult to help you!

  This guide MAY be what you are looking for:

  http://support.gateway.com/s/manuals/desktops/8510406.PDF

  The first ball most option will not help you. It is similar to a repair facility. Although it will give you a 'new' copy of Windows, it will always leave the situation that causes the slow intact. In addition, repair installs (or their equivalent) can be difficult and problematic and should only be done in certain situations.

  The second option is a clean install. If all your important documents are on a flash drive, you need to run. But you will have to reinstall all your programs after verifying that you have SP3 and all post-SP3 security updates installed.

  Of course, you can choose to deal with why your PC slowed down. We will guide you. Then increase the chances you won't have to deal with this kind of headache again because you will know what to do to avoid the slowness in the first place.

  Once more, run winnt32.exe is not going to work, so banish the thought!

• How can I reinstall windows xp without the disc, with only the key to sting.

  I had vista on my laptop before I received a virus.took my laptop to someone who has removed the virus, but said that it destroyed my windows installed vista.she windows 7, but when I went to save the product key, it was not valid.the only p.k.

  Hi jesse,.

  What is the brand and model of your computer? You have the restore disc that came with the computer. If the recovery partition is still intact, you may be able to reset it to factory settings, but I can't tell you how much, until you post the manufacturer and model of your computer.

• Qosmio G20 - how to reinstall Windows XP without the recovery DVDs?

  I am trying to install windows XP on the laptop. I bought the Qosmio without the reinstallation cd. It has no operating system installed on the hard drive at all. Everything is OK, until he asks for raid drivers, then he said: put the disc in the drive "a". There is no player on the G20.
  I need to buy a USB floppy to do this, or someone has solutions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As you know already some units Qosmio supports RAID function.
  If you want to install the OS from Windows, you must first install the RAID driver.
  The RAID driver you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  You have three options:

  1. you will first install the driver disk RAID, and then you could install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.

  2. you create a Windows clean boot CD with application called nLite (as mentioned above)
  This application allows you to create the CD of the Windows operating system with additional drivers as RAID

  3. buy the original recovery CD Toshiba with the Toshiba service partner in your country

• Tried all your suggestions, but still cannot fix the runtime error. How can I reinstall Windows 7 without losing everything?

  I tried a soft boot, it does not solve the problem.  I deleted all the redistributable files from Microsoft, and then restarted, I still have the same error message, even if I had deleted the files.  I reinstalled the updated files, the problem persists.  I'm frustrated and tired of this and now just want to know how to reinstall Windows 7 Premium Edition while preserving my other programs and files.

  If you reinstall, you will need to backup your data, do the reinstall, and then reinstall your programs.  And before that, you will need to have all the drivers from the manufacturer of your computer.  If you can restore to the factory settings, which may save you the hassle of dealing with drivers.

  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  Good luck.
