• Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

  Genuine Windows clean install

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

  In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Three years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Never met a problem until I tried to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I already followed each step instructions Support of Microsoft issues Service Pack for any result or solution. In these cases, I have downloaded the pack update directly from the wepage of Windows Vista, installed Windows Update Readiness Tool, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and came up with nothing. I even tried to install this update in Mode safe but also failed to install Service Pack 2.

  What is happening all the time, is that I double click on archive downloaded in order to install (having already started my computer in Mode safe mode with networking reportoire and disabled the antivirus as well as its firewall). The Service Pack window opens and I click 'Next' for all the necessary instructions, including 'the computer automatically restarts. When the toolbar installation is completed, the computer automatically goes to restart itself. 3 steps appear as a requirement for the completion of the installation process. All goes well until he reaches "step 3 of 3:100% finished. Do not turn off your computer. After about ten minutes of stall in this step, the following message appears on the screen: "the Service Pack cannot be installed, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer.

  The computer then rolls back all the changes and initiated in the normal state. After the opening, the first window that appears displays the following message: "the specific driver is not valid. "(Details): error: ERROR_BAD_DRIVER (0x800707d1). I proceeded to check and update alone driver of my computer, then try again to install the Windows Vista SP2 and all the operation has been a failure. I was cracking my head trying to solve this particular problem, and each time the same error pops up. I am seriously considering reformatting Windows Vista from manufacturer CD from my Dell, but I don't know if that would help.

  If someone could help or advise with everything that I would appreciate it a lot.

• Windows 7: A cd to dvd device driver I'm missing?

  Excuse me..

  I have problem with win7, the problem is that after the victory to Flash successfully make my bootable flashdisk, then I plug the flashdisk on my 110-3500 HpMini, but after starting Setup win7, a box pops - up and theres something written there that "a required cd/dvd drive device is missing... blah blah..." Is there something wrong with my HpMini? I tried to cancel the program installation and then re insert it to another usb port, but it did not work... Please help me sir... Sorry for my bad English...

  The wireless switch is on the front on the right side in the opposite of the power switch position.

  Windows Dvd installers are much more likely to become corrupt than ISO files or installers of USB. They are not indestructible and are best kept in a DVD box for safekeping.  All it takes is a simple scratch on the label of the DVD side and toast.

  Disc info you provided are identified as a Western Digital Scorpio Black SATA2 320 GB hard drive. What is the product number and the name of the product of your mini?

• Impossible to properly install Windows 7 (installation requires no key)

  I am trying to reinstall Windows 7 (SP1) with the restore disc provided by the manufacturer, I can later he move to Win 10 (knowing that my Win7 key does not work for Win10).

  Installing Win7 works very well, but he never asks for a key.

  later in Windows I look in the search bar to "activate Windows" which States that my Windows is genuine, but if I look in the properties of the key varies a lot from the key I've provided, (on a side note, the key in the properties contain the letters "OEM")

  When I try to upgrade to windows 10, this installation requires a key for which (not surprisingly) does not have the Win7.

  Is there a way to "force" the installation for Win7 to require a key?

  If your current operating system is turned on when you upgrade, you can simply skip the step where it asks for the key, and the installation will verify your credentials with online activation server and complete the installation

  The fastest way to get the upgrade is to download the ISO.  Year ISO is like a dvd in order to to use, you need to right click > go up.  Begin upgrading Windows.
  
  
  WARNING: do not USE NOT THESE TO DO A CLEAN the INSTALLATION (before after you have already updated).  If you do you will not be able to activate it without having previously upgraded to win 10 and active.  Then, you will be forced to reinstall your previous operating system before the upgrade to win 10
  Running the tool of creation of media warning can prevent you to roll back to a previous operating system

• Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

  I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

  I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

  Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

  Mark W. Stroberg

  Hi, Mark:

  I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

  The best way to install the driver is as follows...

  Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

  With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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
