• I lost my CD of Windows XP OEM for system integrator, but still have the cd - key

  Hello

  My system is corrupt and I need to reinstall Windows XP Professional on my computer.

  I have lost my Windows XP Professional OEM cd, if I still have the cd - key.

  Anyway, or no matter what number I can contact to get a new cd or other alternatives?

  Thank you very much

  New CD no longer exists.

  Since you still have the valid key, you need to somehow know is how to get one of these CDs. If you're lucky, you know someone who has one. It will work with your key. But it must be authentic, of course!
  If a friend of yours and if they give you an image .iso of it, then you must verify that these are the hash values:
  MD5: 9BB3CB003E2C6005FCCC28C305BE05FF
  SHA1: DDA4AC450B2174CAC6C15295711330160C237418
  Otherwise, you will probably wind upward with a version riddled with malware (creeping on the Internet of course) and you should certainly avoid at all costs the versions of malware in prey.

  Call the manufacturer of your computer.

  1. ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal and it is money well spent.
  2. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access the recovery of the computer partition and how to use it to restore your computer.

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  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.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista from how you bought your computer, IF the 8 Windows Installer do not wipe it.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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

• Windows Vista reinstall without disc, but I have a product key

  I did a system restore on my computer and I need to reinstall Vista on my computer.  I can't locate the disk, but I have the product code.  Can someone help me how to get Vista on my computer?  I need it as soon as POSSIBLE.  The classes are trolling.

  Your computer came with Vista recovery (usually on a different files
  partition). If so, usually, you can access the Vista reinstall mode by
  repeatedly pressing F11 or F12 during startup. Before that, be
  be sure to back up all the important files, emails, licensed applications and so on.
  because this process generally erases your disk delivered-to-factory

  * original title - I Am A Genuine user of windows vista. I have loss all documents and the installation cd. Product key have only. How can I get an another free Windows CD? *

  Hi Aowlad,

  If your copy of Vista came pre-installed with your PC, you should contact the manufacturer of your PC for replacement disks. You will find no doubt that they will charge you for the replacement and they won't be cheap.

  If you purchased your copy of Vista in a store you will be normal should have the purchase receipt or proof of purchase (I guess a credit card statement would be sufficient, but I'm not sure). Take a look at this link for more details:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

• My question relates to the use of Windows Vista Edition backup Home Premium 32-bit

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit backup to create a backup on an external hard drive files. the disk is almost full, I noticed the backup appears to create a new set of files each time that it will consume a considerable amount of space.  Is it safe to delete old files to free up disk space as current backup do not complete due to lack of space. I don't want to lose all the essential files in the erase process.

  Yes, you can delete the old files, because they are not needed when the new backup is created.
  My suggestion is to set up a backup incremental and will ovewrite the old backups so that you don't have to delete old backups.

  Hello

  See the documentation for your PC on a full recovery of the system running and you may find that you don't need one, at least not for now. Many PC have a recovery installed on the hard drive which is accessible at boot time by a combination of keys (which varies). The Dell support site will also tell you if it is an option and what is the key combination.

  If you don't need the disc or you want to get one if your hard drive fails, contact Dell, they should sell you a.
