Install XP to Vista - update or pure

Hi all, I bought a Dell Vostro 200 and it came with Vista and a downgrade to XP. I am wanting to upgrade to vista and can someone tell me if I can upgrade to Vista or do I have to do a clean install? Thanks for your comments

In this case use the .iso of Digital River that will clean up the safe installation and be more up-to-date.

  • Impossible to install Vista updates

    I use Vista 32 bit, family premium, SP1, latest installed update is KB955430. Download and install the updates seem to work - until the moment where my system wants to "configurations". Here, the system stops and removes the installed updates.

    What I've done so far:

    -Tried to install SP2 - no success

    -Tried to install the file "MicrosoftFixit50202.msi" - with no success

    -Tried to install the file "au_check_v78f.exe" - no success

    -Follow all the steps (manually, too) of http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b971058&x=10&y=4 - unsuccessfully

    The 'CBS log.zip' file indicates a missing file without saying which file it should be.

    It makes me crazy... Please advice what else should I do to install the latest Vista updates successfully. Thank you very much.

    Download and run the preparation tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) system update. He's trying to fix the problems, which may prevent you from installing Sp2 and other updates. This tool generates a checkSUR.log file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS. Open it and see if there are still questions that cannot be resolved.

    Do a start-up in minimal mode and tr to install Sp2 it. Perhaps other tools to block installation of the Sp2.

  • Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

    Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

    Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    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.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    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 repair disc.
    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
    There is not a disk of resettlement.

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

  • I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

    If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-
