Installation of an operating system when the PC has crashed and you have no cd for it

I work on a PC (Philips), which was purchased by PC World by my brother, it is out of warranty and basically his breath his brain (CPU card mother MSI and duff all disc), I had a spare mother (ECS) and CPU and it was installed in the unit. Is there anyway that I can get hold of the operating system Vista Home Premium The cd to reinstall without having to go out and pay the full amount for a whole new CD and license, when I already had a license for this machine?

You got a NEW computer.

Read this:

OEM and retail licenses:

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

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

You are in a very grey re area Activation when you upgrade hardware; as OEM recovery disks are related to the original pub of Hardwaere license OEM Vista.

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.

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

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

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

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.

    Hello

    I installed an Alfred Workflow (see code below) that will mark all my mails as read. After you run it for a minute, the mail has crashed and I had to forcequit. However, now, when you open the Mail it crashes instantly, even after restart and repair the permissions. I also used the Ctrl + C and CTRL-Z commands in the Terminal to leave the alfred_script, but nothing helped. I'm running out of ideas here, so I hope you could help me either reinstall the mail.app. I could always just switch to a different mail application, but it's kind of a last resort.

    Code:

    Tell application "Mail".

    Define allAccounts on each account name

    Repeat with currAccount in allAccounts

    the unreadMboxes value (each mailbox to the account currAccount the unread number is not 0)

    Repeat with currMbox in unreadMboxes

    (read status of each message to currMbox including the playback State is set to false) true value

    end repeat

    end repeat

    tell the end

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Can post the report of crash on demand.

    Not sure that Alfred's, but it's just an Applescript script and it would not cause Mail to be planted.

    However, when running through all the messages, it is possible Mail database has been corrupted and it crashes because of this.

    I'll probably get anything out of the accident report, but others might.

    My first instinct would be to rebuild the mailbox. Because you can't do that with him crashing, you can simply delete the databases and it will rebuild them.

    Navigate to this folder:

    ~/Library/Mail/v3/MailData/

    You can either manually through the files, or copy the full path and paste it into go the folder in the menu go to the Finder.

    Remove the envelope Index files. Open Mail and see if it works well.

    If your library does not appear in your folder, hold down the Option key and select library in the menu go to in the Finder.

  • Re-installation of any operating system on the computer satellite phone

    Forgive me, but I'm trying to re install Vista or Xp being entered against some issues:

    Windows XP Home edition disk cannot detect a HARD drive.
    It may be stupid but does anyone have a walk through, I want to just wipe my laptop and re-install an operating system

    Help!

    Thank you very much

    I don't know what model of laptop satellite you have exactly, but if you use the original Toshiba Recovery CD you will be able to install the OS without any problem. If you have the new laptop model and you want to install Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver.

    Without SATA driver installation for Windows XP Home edition will not be able to recognize the HARD drive and you will get a message of lack of HARD drive.
    Check out this forum and you will find so many threads on this subject.

  • How to restore my system when I bought it? Did not the disks in the operating system when the computer was purchased.

    Original title: System Restore

    How to restore my system when I bought it? No disk when I got it.

    I can not open a new document in works 9 says file is missing? System Restore has new date

    I want to go further? is there a way? Windows Vista home Premium SP2

    Hello

    System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.

    You mean that recovery of the system.

    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 on how you purchased your computer.

    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.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Y at - it a startup of microsoft for windows vista premium disc which is downloadable on a computer to start the operating system when the HD does not start

    Since 2007, I have packard bell computer pc laptop. He came with a recovery or a bootable disc, but the genuine license is stuck under the machine. After System Restore today and a computer virus scan went to a reboot. But a black screen with the boot failure lights. I am unable to go to safemode, viaF8 or something else. He invites me to insert the recovery disk. What I can do besides take it to the seller. I have another laptop using windows vista can I create a recovery or startup disk that is compatible with this laptop. Waiting for your kind response

    NeoSmart is a very good drive to do a Startup Repair with.

    BUT it will not reinstall your operating system.

    For this, you need your computer manufacturer's recovery disks, or use a built-in recovery Partition.

    Read this info below:

    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.

    http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

    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.
