  • Windows 7 on Vista Home premium! How to re install Vista on HP Pavilion

    A technician (technician at the shop) during writing a test version of windows 7 on my genuine Vista Home premium that come with the laptop HP Pavilion Dv6000.

    He did to recover my laptop a virus attached and there after I can't able to re instal Vista now on my laptop. What should do?

    I tried several versions and spend hundreds of Dollars may with these technicians.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can 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.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

    I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

    Hi Jim,.

    Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi, I have a problem with the Defender, it seems that the program is updated, but when I open the 'color of program' Defender is orange instead of green.
    To search for "new definitions", he asks, I'm taking this step and then the color is orange, so there must be something wrong with the program.

    There is no error code.

    I use a HP Pavilion Elite with Vista Home Premium 64, and I use Microsoft Security Essentials such as AV and WF.

    Windows Update seems ok.

    Can someone fill me on this one please.
    best regards Carlo

    BTW; my native language is Dutch thanks for the effort...

    You do have a problem that you have to worry.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and would normally disable Vista Defender.

    If you continue to have problems with the Vista Defender, turn it off:
