  • How to restore vista 64 bit on sony vaio to factory without backup system disks?

    I made a mistake, took my sony vaio vgn-fw265d with windows vista home edition for futureshop to solve problems,

    as my recovery disks have been corrupted. they installed windows vista 64-bit, but I've lost factory sitting, now some hardware not

    working as blueray etc.

    Hello

    1st thing I would do is to bring your SONY VAIO at Futureshop and get them to fix it properly

    or

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

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    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 F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    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

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

  • Satellite L350D-213 - restoration of the factory without disks

    Hello

    I came to this page because the Web, so many people say you don't need a disk and many others say that you do! {Massive headaches} CONFUSED!

    After last week, ending up with the UKASH virus on my computer, a friend helped and explains to go into MSCONFIG in safe mode and disable all, then I could finally get into my normal settings and do a scan to wipe it. I ran ad-aware, but later removed that he had fallen behind EVERYTHING, including IE. Then, I saved all my stuff and deleted from my computer to make room. I then did some general research and followed the instructions. "speed up my performance" followed by a few scans/clean ups and Defrags.

    I don't remember what I did to remove panic and difficulty Ukash and performance thereafter, except that I know that some applications do not work, because of a name of a file I know I deleted as 'my speed' and some I do not know why they do not work.

    After spending TWO WEEKS on this issue, it is better, the UKASH went, my performance is faster BUT the strange problem of a file, and I'm done with him! I want to do a factory restore to put all rights that I can and have done wrong.

    My question is; Can I do a record of WITHOUT restore factory, I don't remember if I've ever had a recovery disk, but if I did, I don't have any him more as they have become lost or misplaced.

    What are my options?

    My biggest fear is I'm at half way through the restoration of the factory and it prompts for a disk and I don't have. I also drive HARD recovery on my laptop on drives C and D.

    (System Restore does not work for me either, I have no restore points or can I create one, so another reason why I need to do a restore of the fctory)

    Kind regards.

    In your situation you should not spend a lot of time speculating on what the people are saying. In the user s manuals document described clearly how it works with the recovery image installation, creating recovery image and what your options are.

    In my opinion the best solution for virus affected system is new and clean install of the OS. It's certainly more radical solution but, I think of easier and faster way to have own OS again. The first step is the backup of the data, if possible and recovery image installation (factory settings).

    Recovery image can be installed on two ways:
    1 as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm HARD drive recovery facility
    2 with recovery disk created recovery image installation

    I presume you didn't create this disk so that you can do now is to order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    In any case, try it please with option 1 and send feedback.

  • Installation of Vista 64 bit on the Satellite P500/025

    I just bought a P500/025 and should have chosen installation 64 bit but installed 32-bit instead.
    Could someone please give me instructions on how to install vista 64-bit on Vista 32 bit?

    I will lose everything I have installed on my current installation of 32-bit?
    Thanks in advance.

    Before starting the discussion on the installation of Vista 64-bit, visit the Toshiba download page and check if this laptop is 64 bit supported and if you can find all drivers 64-bit.
    I assume you have an Australian model of laptop. Do you have?

  • Don't recharge files after restoring Vista 32 bit

    I had vista 64 bit OS and got disorders pilot so I restored it to 32 bits after a backup to an external hard drive, now I can't restore the files as the restoration Center shows no backup is available. Please help I need these files soon.

    Original title; Novice needs help.

    Hi Bluesman123,

    Please take a look at the following information through MRMic of a previous post:

    I got exactly the same problem on Vista 32 bit. The second time I tried to restore from my external hard drive, I got the error "data too small area."

    After you have reinstalled Vista, I wanted to make a backup. To avoid a conflict between the backup of previous installation and the new facility, I renamed the backup folder (for example, MICPC to MICPC-OLD). Later, I got the error trying to restore my old backup. On a whim, I renamed the old folder its original name (OLD of MICPC to MICPC) and that fixed it (or at least restore now works).

    It turns out that I never needed to rename the folder in the first place because when I reinstalled Vista, I added in some way a dash in my name of the computer (MIC - PC) makes it different from the old (MICPC) one anyway.

    I hope this helps!

  • Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?

    Hello.

    I have a computer with vista 32 bit pre-installed.

    I made the recovery discs and I know how to use them.
    I created a partition D: on my computer myself.
    Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?  Y / N
    Chris.

    Hello Chris,

    Installation from recovery or a recovery partition disks ' "won't replace (wipe) the partitions that you created. The idea is to "valuing your system back to factory conditions", which means exactly that.

    I suggest that you save all the information about the partitions that you created on a removable USB drive. As soon as you reinstalled windows, you can then recreate the partitions and copy the information from your removable USB hard drive hard disk internal.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

  • 1st generation ATV dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance.  I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here.  Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote work

    1st generation Apple TV is dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance. I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here. Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote workin

    I guess you tried maintained low men together for about 6 seconds - silver 1 ATV that will restart to the diagnostic partition but who would rely on the hard disk is functional and if it was ok that wouldn't work with the logic board failure.

    I guess you have not fed and attempted to restart.

    In case your AppleTV think it is paired with another remote try Menu and left arrow for 6 seconds - the light now intervenes when you press the buttons on the remote?

    Also, it could be in the video mode bad - try Menu and upward arrow together for 6 CES switch video modes, but implies that he actually started OK.
