Installation of Windows Vista Basic 32-bit

Hello, I try to install windows vista basic 32 bit edition on an old laptop. He had originally windows vista basic 32-bit edition.

I have the windows install key.

The laptop's hard drive was fried and I do not make a backup of the operating system, also, he came with a "factory default disk" or the windows recovery disk.

It came with a windows anytime upgrade disc ' ", he said can repair a current installation of windows, or install the operating system.

Hard drive, I have currently in there has a version of vista business and the timer is exhausted, there also some conflicts pilot being that the hard drive has come to a laptop different and some aspects of drivers and other software refuse to be deleted.

My question would be: can I install windows vista basic 32 bit with the disk at any time to upgrade, if yes how?

Thank you

I discovered that you can indeed install windows with the upgrade disk.

My laptop is now in good working condition.

  • Windows Vista Basic, 32 bit, does not start up-will start in safe mode

    My computer fails to start. This problem came about 2 weeks ago when I rebooted after an update for McAfee Total protection requiring a reboot. But I don't know if that is why the computer not boot not correctly.
    After a lot of testing to the Startup Repair and shut down the pc and start it again, it starts to open a session for users. But after that I restarted again in this State, the problem persists.
    There is no error codes or messages, it just does not start. There is no virus infection (I hope). While the pc is booting, I also connected to Admin and checked if there were any problems found. But no other problem than a problem with Teredo Tunneling Pseudo - Interface. I solved this problem.
    So after all these checks, I restarted again, and it will not start again.
    It starts in Mode safe with no problems, and I have restored the pc a couple of times, but no use.

    Y at - it a fix for this?
    Any help will be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello RubeenaY.

    After looking on this thread. the most remarkable thing I've seen, is that we are able to boot mode safe without problem. Typically, this means that we cannot start because a driver, service, or application takes over at startup which prevents our normal operation.

    I recommend you to perform a clean boot, as they did in the previous post.

    More information on Boots own is located at the following link:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Let us know how it works.

    Hello

    With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

    It is an option in Windows 7.

    And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

    Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

    In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

  • Satellite L300D - 21 p - failed Installation of Windows Vista 32 bit

    Hello!

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 21 p, and now I wanted to install Windows Vista Business 32-bit.
    But still, the installation stops at where the screen says "how to complete the installation..." ".

    Do you have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Greetz

    Stefan

    If you use the Toshiba recovery disc then you have no need to reinstall the SATA drivers.
    If you use Microsoft disc, you need the SATA drivers.

    But if the error message indicates that the installation is complete, then the HARD drive is recognized correctly and you should not have the SATA drivers in such a case.

    > Where can I get the SATA drivers?
    It seems that your laptop computer supports the processor AMD and ATI chipset.
    Driver graphics card contains the driver for chipset and SATA drivers needed.
    The different folder for the graphics driver and the drivers are placed in the folder:
    Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\Filter\NB

  • The installer for Windows Vista is wrong...

    I was recently given an old "Lenovo Thinkpad SL500' with a failing HARD drive.  On the Palm of the laptop is Windows label that reads "Windows Vista Basic". I put in a disc of Windows Vista (x 86 version) and windows load, and to enter the serial number, it starts to install "Windows Vista Business" (perhaps the original owner updated the version of windows). At the end of installation, I go to activate and I like that it's the wrong version of windows for the serial number, hmmm... !  Think it should have been the version 64-bit (x 64), I perform the re - install, once again tell them he set up "Windows Vista Business" (64-bit version). Still, I get the same error message when you try to activate.

    Time to cheat, I re - install again, but don't get me the serial number, which then gives the option to select the version of vista to install, this time I select Vista Basic (32-bit and 64-bit later). Windows installed twice and both times it fails to activate, this time with the error "Enter a different product for activation key", and Yes, I type in the serial number from the label (which windows it is was brought off the coast of the COA), still with no success.

    Is it possible to say that Windows belongs to my serial number, or is it possible that the previous owner upgraded to a version of Windows 7 and changed the COA. ??

    Vista OEM integrators of systems and DVD retail are the same both contain the files for the editions of Vista that you mentioned, and that is the PK that determines which edition is installed.

    Unfortunately, there is no list to check a PK hand to see which edition it corresponds to the.

    Lenovo are those who need to check with as to what is preinstalled on it.

    Here is their information on it:

    Hello

    Contact Acer 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 $

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    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 ACER Alt + F10 at startup 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

  • Window vista business 32 bit auto update not install SP1

    I have Window vista business 32 bit on Sony Vaio laptop. My automatic update of the window is on, a lot of updates were installed, I can't find the SP1.  I checked the updates, saw "the view update history" but can't find SP1.  Basic information system shows no service pack. 'Winver' shows Version 6.0 (6000 building). All other window updates have been installed except "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition service pack 3 (KB955706) who is still unable to install, do not know for what reason." I guess that there is no link between the failed SQL and SP1. It is after a complete reinstall of Vista 3-4 days back.

    Prior to the relocation is in that the original version, Vista SP1 was installed automatically by the Update window.
    I wonder if SP1 is already installed, but is not displayed or should I download and install it manually.

  • Windows Vista Basic has been freezing after sitting idle in normal mode and safe mode.

It was fine for a bit, but is distributed upward. The time that it will sit idle are shortened.

  • Windows Vista Business 32-bit external drive does not work in the administrator account

    Hello

    You are on a domain network?

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please ask your question in the appropriate Forum TechNet. You can follow the link to your question:

  • Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

    Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

    Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
    I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

    If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

  • Using Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit), failed to install IIS

    Using Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit), cannot install IIS.  Tried several of the resolutions found on the web to turn (uninstall .net 3.0) to uninstall WAS.  Still nothing works.  Look at the event log, it appears that the TrustedInstaller.exe is in a loop that indicates that Windows Servicing began a process of change state KBxxxxx package installed to installed.  I have this day to the next release and we found thousands of entries repeated over and over as it in the event Log.

    I would say the TrustedInstaller.exe has been hacked or corrupted, but daily MS patches are applied without error.   I also ran the SFC/scannow command without success.  I tried to restart, don't turn off unnecessary services, execution of installation in Mode safe... go!
    I'm surprised there isn't a utility which will ensure the components that need to exist in the version required for IIS, well... does not exist!
    Any ideas?  I need to get the IIS services are installed for the development of a website of ASP.NET ASAP!

    I have only a limited understanding of IIS and ASP.net.

    1. What are they? IIS 5, 6, 7.0?
    2. make sure that your version of Vista can support.
    Go to programs and features > column to the left, turn Windows has on or off > scrolling Internet Information Service > expand (+) sign and make sure if its level of compatibility under Web management tools. Home Premium can go as far as IIS6. > Make sure check marks are on the elements you need to install IIS.

    3. from what I understand, the version of Vista Ultimate and superior is required to install IIS 7.

    This is as far as I know.
