Cannot obtain replacement disks of Vista Home Premium.
I have a PC that came with a set of disks in the OS (Vista Home Premium) of the desktop type the Gateway FX. Technical support Gateway wants to load more that a new license cost complete and me have to wait a month to get them. Seeing as how I've already paid for the license, it's completely unfair. Can I get a disk of Microsoft (or anyone), if I have my license key? I understand that I must pay a nominal price for the physical disks.
Thanks in advance,
Mikey
Hello
If it never came with disk recovery, gateway must provide you with another way to reinstall the operating system.
If they didn't they break their agreement with Microsoft.
Here is the information on the bridge to access the recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista:
"Full factory recovery"
http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml
""Software Information " "
http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
If the above does not work, 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
See you soon.

Need to reinstall Windows 7 due to the hard failure but needing a replacement disk drive
I have a DELL N5010(no longer under warranty) and had to replace the hard drive to the 2nd time, whenever an attempt to install 64 bit Windows 7 - error code disc is displayed. My computer thinks that the disc is damaged. Am I eligible for a replacement disk? If so, from whom MS or DELL? If this is not an upgrade disk will be enough?
You need to contact Dell for a replacement recovery disc. A upgrade disc won't work, as you would a new OEM installation with OEM key.

Yes, the recovery disks installing Vista and original software/drivers on a new hard drive. Just be sure to get a hard drive at least as large as the original capacity. It may be big, but not small ability more. I wouldn't go with one of the new large capacity hdd format advanced however.

How 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

Installation of Qosmio G35 - V660 Vista - drivers needed!
I bought the full Windows Vista Edition upgrade. I installed the new update of the BIOS (now at version 1.7), I ran the CreateVistaCDMaker file on the Toshiba site and I downloaded and burned to CD updated for the Toshiba RAID drivers.
However, whenever I get to the part of the installation were it asks me to select the drivers to install on... He told me that this is impossible because I need the appropriate drive. I point to the Toshiba Raid driver and after 5-10 minutes of waiting, Vista tells me that the drive is that I slowed down of Toshiba (Toshiba raid disk) is not compatible.
Anyone else having the same problems of Vista upgrade on their laptop Toshiba Qosmio G35-660?
Hello
I assume that you have downloaded the driver RIAD on the Toshiba driver site us.
I checked this site and surprise. There is only a RAID for WinXP driver.
It seems that the RAID for XP driver does not work with the Vista installation.You will find on the site of Toshiba Canada also a few disks of Vista and also a RAID for Vista driver. Of course, you won't find you laptop model G35 because it was designed specifically for the American market, but try using a driver for G30.

My CD/DVD driver won't read any disks. (windows Vista Home Basic)
My driver CD/DVD does not read discs. Whenever I have insert a disc into my CD/DVD player, absolutely nothing is happening, as the drive is not yet there. I tried to get gpedt.msc as help Windows said to me, but the file is not found. Can someone tell me what's wrong and help me fix?
Hello
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack.Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
