    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 make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash when you're back running.

    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, 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):

    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.

    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

    You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have the Windows 7 DVD you can do however
    don't forget to completely backup your data off the drive, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you
    don't have Windows 7 disks, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't like
    on existing programs then you can do a complete new installation - just select the format options
    which erases the entire disc (This erases all data as well).

    Some system manufacturers use Partitions of recovery as well as other methods to allow you to return
    Back to a completely new installation. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options
    you need to do - and certainly do - just a question of the process of the
    Manufacturer of the system put in place for you.

Do not restart your computer during this time.     I have a small Toshiba laptop which has installed Windows 7.  I uninstalled my Norton (that I was instructed to do so by a friend); tried to reinstall Windows 8; and got the same message.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Dreah117,

    Thanks for choosing Windows 8!

    I understand that you get this error trying to upgrade to Windows 8. Its good that
    you have removed your anti-virus software are there is a possiblity of it
    causing problems with installation

    I have a few questions about your system

    1. what operating system (OS) you upgrade?
    2 what is a 32 or 64 bit OS?
    3. you try to install a 32-bit or 64-bit of Windows 8?

    You can try these methods to see if it solves the problem

    Method 1:
    Run the upgrade wizard and check to see if your system is compliant with the minimum requuirements.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-to-Windows-8

    Method 2:
    Disable or uninstall a software such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party disk utility to defragment programs such as perfect disk / Daemon Tools

    (a) in the notification area, next to the time looking for icons of software disk utility

    (b) pass the mouse over it to check the name

    (c) right-click on the icon and select "Exit/Disable" or a similar option.

    Method 3:
    Make sure your computer is updated through Windows Update.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Windows-Update

    Method 4:

    Disconnect all unnecessary external devices such as printers / joysticks etc.

    Method 5:
    Put the computer to boot is a way to solve problems

  • Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

    Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

    If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

  • How to restore windows ME for the first day that I pay for it.

    1. I try to restore windows, but it will do. I have a saying massage low disk he had to have some SPACS and won't do a thing.

    Make sure that you have backed up everything you want to record.  When installing, it gives you the option to format the drive?  If so, select this option and it clears the record of everything and give you plenty of space to install.

    If you have already saved the data you want to save, and then delete the data.  Do a full of all disk cleanup.  Uninstall 3rd third-party programs that you had added to the system - as much as necessary.  It, until you create enough space for the installation works.

    I don't know if you can boot from a Windows ME disk to access the recovery options (I never really used this version).  If so, try to do this, and then select command prompt in service options (if it offers this option) and use to format the hard drive completely. That erases everything and you should have enough space to re - install.  If this is not the case, the method above should work later depending on the amount of space is required.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
