I've upgraded to Vista XP, the system crashed and now it says to install the disc so that it can be fixed. He doesn't like XP or Vista disc. How to get a copy of the Vista disk (and not an upgrade) my computer can run.

my vista system crashed and now it asks me for my vista drive.  He doesn't like my drive to upgrade to vista, says that my XP system drive does not work either.  where I kenza a copy of vista disc that works?

To reinstall Vista:

You can not legally do a clean install of Vista with a Vista Upgrade disk/license.

Reinstall XP > then go to Vista.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's a startup repair disk, you can do:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

See you soon.

  • Error message: "could not cop files. Make sure that the target disk is not dead", during the installation of the drivers scanner Epson Perfection V500.

    Original title: the scanner driver update problems.

    Problem: I am trying to install a driver for an Epson scanner update.  I get the error message: could not copy files.  Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.

    I'm running Windows XP Home edition.  Scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo.

    What I did:

    • A release with the support of Epson.  They tell me that I have the admin rights.  However, I am the administrator and log on as administrator
    • I downloaded the epson driver update, which is an executable zip file.  I right-click on the file, select Run As..., opt to run it as an admin user, enter my password and select run.  The files are decompressed, but at some point in the installation, I get the message "couldn't cop files.  Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.  (Target is C:\)
    • Furthermore, I installed this driver successfully on my other computer that is running Windows XP Professional

    Why not copy the driver files?

    Hi Passport35,

    You can try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can try running the fixit article and following cjheck, if it helps.

    Diagnose and solve the program installation and uninstallation problems automatically

    Method 2:

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    a. click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

    b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

    Note: the scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    Wait for the analysis of complete and then check if you can install the drivers.

  • Error "the dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system." what configuration Raid 0 (striped) readers.

    I have my operating system installed on a single disc, and I bought two additional discs I want to implement in a Raid 0 configuration. I'm going to administrative tools > computer management > disk management > right-click on a single disc and select the new striped volume > add the second drive and fill the dialog box until I get to the part where the formatting is supposed to start. Then I am stopped by an error that says "the dynamic disks are not supported on this operating system."

    Who says that hard drives, I bought are not compatible with vista interlacing or it says that vista can not the striped disks. What is the problem?

    You need to configure raid 0 before installation of win, you cannot "convert" s simple drive to the part of a matrix of blocks.

    In general this is not a good idea to use software raid, too a overload the CPU. If you want to raid, invest in a dedicated hardware raid card, which for a decent cost probably more than your motherboard

  • HP S3120N. I replaced the motherboard and the power, now the recovery disks do not work.

    I'm not so happy owner of a HP Pavilion S3120N. I am running windows vista home edition. The motherboard went out so I replaced it with a Zotac GeForce 8200 - ITX Wifi series. Now the computer says it is noa a hp solution valid, and the recovery disks do not work. is there a way to fix this without buying a new operating system?

    Yes, return the Zotac motherboard and get an OEM HP/Compaq M2NC51-AR / HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but the recovery discs are locked to a specific set of HP/Compaq machines with specific HP OEM motherboards. Apart from this, you will need to buy a new OS.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Default configuration of the windows features. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer... HEEELLLPP!

    After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen. Some of these forums say that it can take 2 hours or more because of so many updates made at the same time. I think I was trying to upgrade windows 8 for windows 8.1.

    I'm really worried about it just because I just got back this PC from ASUS and am needing to work. Can someone tell me if there are other options or make sure that it just take a while? I also read that you can actually go to the control panel > windows update > help to erase mistakes. Also, someone said that you can customize the number of updates at a time can be both. I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
