If your vista is preinstalled and you still have the PK on your COA, borrow from someone different windows vista OEM version.
If you bought separately (not OEM), then borrow another windows vista RETAIL copy.
That would be casual piracy but, there is nothing you can do.
in any case, it won't work if you don't have a genuine microsoft product key.
If you are unable to activate, call microsoft product activation.
NOTE: Make sure that you borrow the exact and the same architecture/version/edition.
for example, the name of the product that is written on your COA is vista Home premium, then borrow OEM de Microsoft windows vista Home premium.
When all else fails, buy Windows 7.

Currently using Adobe CC on my laptop Windows 7 Professional. The problem is that I have a problem with the laptop, which means I need to format the hard drive and reinstall.
The question I have is: do I have to uninstall Adobe CC and the programs I already downloaded. Or I can just connect back to my CC account and re-install?

You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.

Hello
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
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
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp
Gaara_2k6,
Welcome to the responses of the Forums. The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive. Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.
If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk. With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive. To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.
How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files. In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system. Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible. Best regards, Oliver for Norm
