  Which partition should I use to re - install Windows Vista? A partition is much smaller then the other.

  Hello

  you don't say how you are trying to reinstall vista

  If you use a microsoft vista dvd you would normally select a CUSTOM installation that gives you the opportunity to see what partitiions are available, what size are they and what is currently installed on them etc.

  It is then to you to delete the existing partition where vista is already installed and reinstall on the same partition or where you want to

  We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

  We can only give you general information on this subject

  read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

  Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

  Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

  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.

  Hello ElumBuneri,

  As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  But if you can borrow a microsoft dvd vista not acer hewlett-packard or the like discs of recovery of a friend or relative you might try to install vista in this way using your product outside of the laptop case key to install the family version correct vista premium of the dvd, and then go to acer and get the right drivers for your computer laptop model number

  Just make sure you get the good dvd vista

  There are two microsoft vista DVD produced is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit

  most of the computers came with 32 bit installed unless he asked a 64-bit

  and if you happen to also have a recovery on your computer partition acer laptop, you can start the recovery to factory standards by pressing Alt + F10 at startup

  There used to be a password you need to enter too

  It was 5 or 6 zeros

  If necessary, contact acer for this information

• Want to move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Original title: Vista 32-bit to 64-bit without disc.

  Hi all

  First post and not very technical minded (although not completely clueless) so go easy.

  In short, I want to upgrade 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Long story, I have a dell latitude e4300 with professional vista installed on it. I bought the laptop from a company who buys wipes of the company and sells them on. When I bought the laptop it is everything I had... the laptop, manuals, disks etc. I want to increase the memory on the laptop 6 GB but have read that I need 64 bit vista to take advantage of this.

  So, how can I do this with only the product code for windows? or is this even possible?

  Thank you very much

  John

  "Can I move a version 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?

  N ° if you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version. »

  Also:

  "Windows Vista Compatibility Center is no longer available"

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  and,

  See why upgrade to Windows 7 makes sense

  However, and my dilemma who found your post, amounts to:

  1. If you head to 64-bit (a number somewhere North of 1.844 E19 one approach the number of electrons in a Coulomb for free!) AND you don't have a product key, why not make the leap to 8.1 Windows 64-bit? and,
  2. It should be first of ALL to ensure that your "32-bit" software will run in a 64 bit environment especially make sure that your printer has a compatible driver update.

  PS Your interest to think "upward" is necessary and laudable.  Your question is carefully constructed.  It has never been my experience to find the answers except kind, helpful and generous in the community Microsoft.  Similarly, it is called the 'social media' or 'public access' sites (YouTube, for example) where the landscape is littered with fecal printing.

  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.
