  I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

  Hello

  There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send 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 determines which Edition is installed.

  Builders 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

  See you soon.

  p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

  It depends on the old hard drive still works.

• I can't load Windows Vista on a portable computer provided with Windows 8?

  I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
  has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
  you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
  one or both.
  This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
  interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
  Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
  Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
  very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
  http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
  http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
  Debut8, but they are both very good).
  And going from one interface to another is very easy; There are
  several ways, but simply by pressing the Windows key is perhaps the
  easier. Just install one of these two and using the traditional
  Desktop interface may be a better choice for you than go to
  Windows Vista. I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with the
  traditional desktop interface and start 8 installed. If you were
  to view and use my computer, you would have a realization of wireless trouble
  is not Windows 7.

  I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.

  has been woundering if ill have problems if I try to load vista on a laptop comes with windows 8 already on it

  Note that you need to do a clean install, so lose
  all data on the drive and all installed programs.

  Also note that (especially with a laptop), you may need Windows Vista
  drivers for it, and they cannot exist. So before you try, remember to
  Check with the manufacturer of the laptop that Vista is performed on it.

• Can I load windows vista or 7 on this PowerEdge 840?

  Hey guys, first time, coming through a device like this. PowerEdge 840

  Serial number: Service tag removed by privacy policy > | Express service code: abducted by the Express service code privacy policy >

  I read the manual, but still confused, can I load win7 on this machine? It can work as any ordinary windows machine?

  So I went into the boot options and selected the dvd as the first player, but it just goes straight to windows server 2003. Something up with this device in any case, whenever I have manually close it restarts and the fan is very noisy? Is this way, it is supposed to work, or it is supposed to be silent?

  There is 3x73GB readers in this machine and there is 2 pci cards connected to a smal circuit located at the rear of the 3 HARD drive, what can I do here in order to bypass this RAID system to connect a HARD drive to load windows OS please?

  The connector on the disks look like regular SATA connectors but the description on the Maxtor disk reads:

  ATLAS 10K V, 3.5 SERIES

  73 GB Serial Attached SCSI

  They are not SATA disks? If not and I can use a SATA drive, do I have to remove 3 disks and place a SATA drive in one of the slots?

  You might be able to install Windows 7, but NO server has been tested and validated to run no matter WHAT client operating system. They are tested and developed for the server operating system. That said, it doesn't mean it won't work, but you will need to use the drivers 2008R2.

  Servers are not supposed to be quiet, but as part of the POST, the fans turn loudly when first energized. If they do not ramp down to a 'normal' speed, there may be a problem with the fans, sensors or environment (or the lid can be turned off).

  Make sure there is a check mark next to the DVD drive... means it is enabled. Also, how did you create your Windows media?

  SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) are not the SATA drives, but SAS controllers/cables/funds of basket are 'retro' - compatible with SATA. You CAN put SATA drives out there, but it won't change anything. Windows will treat it the same. Windows only communicates with the controller, not directly with the player.

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

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

  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 F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

• Only the administrator can read mp3 files. All users get "Windows cannot open this file".

  I am running XP SP3... After that my children were on the internet all day, they have lost the ability to play mp3 files. When I went to ' Control Panel/folders/files Types... under MP3 - we say "Sound in MP3 format" with no program to open this type of file. "

  However, when I signed up as a Director and went to 'File Types' he registered "Windows Media Player" as the program to open the file.

  So I can play the MP3 files under administrator, but no one else can play an MP3 file.

  Any suggestions?

• Windows 7 Home Premium - all user accounts have disappeared after the update of Windows...

  My Windows 7 Desktop is really watered.  After a Windows automatic update, none of the user accounts appear in the login window.  Only a generic connection where you will need to enter the user and the password are displayed.  And when I enter the user name and password, I get a message that they are not valid.

  Here are a few additional pieces of information:

  1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

  2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.  I don't know what happened to them that they do not appear on the screen of restore points.

  3. I can't log on to the computer at all, none of the accounts work.  I can get to a command prompt by using the repair disk, and I can see all the folders for the users.  So everything is intact.   Something must have happened to some system files and thus connect is not possible.

  4. users appear in the list of profiles in the registry.

  5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

  6. I tried sfc/scannow, but I get an error "already waiting.

  7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

  I tried searching online and I'm still not able to connect to the computer.  It has been 2 days of downtime.  What happened to my old restore points?  And why doesn't my restore points created by the work of windows update?

  I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.

  -> This happens after the automatic updates.

  5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

  7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

  ->, I guess you have done this so that in the WRE (repair Windows environment). It is a ghost environment that disappears that you restart the system. Drive X: is a virtual, not a real disc.

  I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

  -> Many people are unaware of the need for regular backups (for example, weekly) until they are suffering from a major disaster.

  Suggestions

  Going by your description, I suspect that your existing accounts are irreparable. They need to be rebuilt. User data appear to be safe.

  Option 1. Use the console commands then in WRE to save all the files of the user on an external hard drive. A disk 2.5 "500 GB in a USB enclosure costs less than $60,00. After having tested the files on another machine, perform a destructive factory restore.

  Option 2. Start the computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then its GUI allows to save files to the user. It takes time to burn such a CD, but the copy process is easier. When you're done, do a factory restore.

  Option 3. A somewhat complex process allows you to create a new admin account, and then use this account to create new user accounts. You must then manually configure each of them (for example Outlook) and move their records of the old data to the new profile folders.

  There is also a method to restore old files registry of a set of backup files are a few days old. In your case I wouldn't consider as it would create a disjoint system: the registry files refers to a set of files that have been largely modified by the update.

  Post again if you need more detailed instructions for the option that you favor.
