  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

• Reinstall XP OEM on Clean Hard Drive, but don't have installation disk

  I have a Dell Inspiron and it's just a user.  There is no bling for this laptop; built in ' 05, 40 GB HDD, 1 GB of RAM.  Supplied with Windows XP Home Edition on it.  I still have the product key.  However, I don't have a installation CD of any or anything of that nature.

  I recently wiped the HDD using DBAN, and I want to reinstall XP on it, using the existing product key.  This seems to be a trivial task, but I can't find anything on the net resettlement on from scratch.   I will be very put out if I did know that I have to buy a copy of the operating system.  That doesn't seem right, because I took the operating system out, I should be able to put it back on as if nothing happened.
  Basicall I'm looking for is a copy of the operating system to install on the HARD disk, where I can then put in the old key.

  you tell me, that even though I HAD a version of legitimate XP, when the circumstances where should, say the hard drive died and was unreadable and had to be replaced, it is impossible to reinstall an OS what I already purchased?

  No, you went just about this the wrong way.

  The seller of a computer came with Windows pre-installed is bound by the terms of its license with Microsoft to provide to the end user (i.e. you) with a way to restore the operating system.  A 'direct' (like Dell) OEM, it can do so by providing a restore partition hidden on the disc (which you wiped out if you said DBAN to wipe the entire drive) and/or a mechanism to restore on CD (which you apparently do not have).  The latter can be a 'true' Windows XP CD or a sort of 'restore' CD particularized.

  Since you have a Dell, you should get in touch with Dell support, who can (or cannot, given the fact that XP is no longer for sale) be able to provide with restoration of the media for a fee.  You will need the printer Dell 'service number', which should be on a label stuck to your computer.  See, for example, http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?c=us&l=en&s=hied

• Installation of Vista on the new hard drive.

  Recently, the hard drive (Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750Go) in my HP Pavilion Elite M9350F Desktop has failed.

  I replaced today by a Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADX 1 TB harddrive.

  After the removal of the old hard drive and the installation of the new, I tried to install Windows vista on it.

  While in the window select a driver to install, I get this message

  "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy, CD, DVD, or USB Flash Drive please insert it now. »

  Followed by this error message when I perform a new crawl for drivers.

  "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK. »

  I don't know what to do to fix this error.

  I also ran a report diaognostics and the disk is healthy, but I get error BIOHD-3.

  * Note: I've already been on the Western Digital site and they describe it as either an error with the computer itself, or the hard drive has failed, which I do not have to be the case since I bought it today.

  Two SATA drivers I posted above (from your page drivers)-choose which is right for your installation. One is for Vista 32 bit, the other is for Vista 64-bit. Use something like the free 7Zip to extract the files to a folder. Place the files on a flash drive and when the message arrives you need the driver cd/dvd insert the flash drive.

  I didn't need or used this procedure personally, but it seemed to work for others.

• Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

  original title: Please help!

  I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

  Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.
