  I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
  The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

  Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

  See you soon

  Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
  Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

  It is their software.

  Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

  You say that the hard drive has failed.

  He could have more than just tough that failed.
  You can have other hardware issues.

  Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

  Good luck with Dell.

  Hello

  See if you have a Recovery Partition of Acer.

  http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you 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 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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Need to reinstall Vista, but don't have a recovery disk or a Vista disk

  Hello.

  I have a Sony Vaio CR series (model VGN-CR36G/B) laptop. It comes with Windows Vista Home Premium OEM. I don't have a disk of Vista when I bought my computer. Also, I received no recovery discs, although I had a recovery partition set up on top of the computer.

  My hard drive has experienced a total mechanical failure, which means that I could not recover all the data. I now have a new hard drive cool. My question is, since I've paid for Vista delivered during the purchase of the computer, can I get a DVD of Vista now Microsoft? I am currently in the United States, which means that contact with Sony Center India (where I bought the computer) will take time. I have my Windows product key. Who will be of any help?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You really need the Sony OEM disc as it has special drivers and utilities on this issue only Windows retail version
  would not. It is 'possible' that the rest of Sony have the same model and you can use those
  disks if they will work for you other wise, like languages.

  This is my generic answer, so that you know some options well since you will need to re - install from
  scratch on a new drive hard is really no choice except to get the disks.

  Check with your system manufacturer that they all slightly different methods. They may have included a recovery
  Partition or other methods to restore the default value. Also your system manufacturer will sell you the physical disks at a great price
  Since you already own windows.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Check with your system manufacturer support as they may have understood, Partitions recovery Vista DVD, and/or
  other methods to return to the original configuration.
