Check if the disc is scratched or dirty, in this case, use a clean lint cloth disc. If this does not work, you can try to download a new copy using your product key:

Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • How can I recover the OS 10.7.2 software I bought a few years ago

    The hard drive on my MacBook Pro (2010) was recently replaced.  When she came back to us he was running OS 10.6.3.

    In 2012, we bought and installed 10.7.2, and it shows on my shopping list in iTunes.

    How can I download this new software to restore on my MacBook Pro?

    Thank you very much for all the advice and help to solve this one.

    Open the App Store and connect with the same Apple ID, that you used to buy Lion. Click the shopping icon in the toolbar. Look for an entry for the Lion in the list. You should have a button download on the right. If you do not see the entry, it might be hidden. If so see: hide and expose in the Mac App Store purchases.

    I forgot to say that you must update Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1.

  • Windows vista professional dvd

    Well I recently have key windows vista business at my school, but they were not able to get an instalation dvd disc to install and use my activation key I wonder how can I get the windows vista professional dvd to install vista on my computer, I was looking everywhere just can find it if anyone has information on how I could do to get a dvd or an iso even is it you Please let me know you thank you very much for the help

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    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

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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
