Is it possible to get a new drive for Vista?

I am attacked by a very damaging virus and decided to reinstall Windows Vista.  I have a Vista upgrade version.  I already reinstalled XP but now I can't find my Vista disc or product key label.  I write the product ID Vista before reinstalling.  Is there anyway to get a picture of disc/new of an installation of Vista with my code?  Microsoft can do that?

What needs additional parts team is the product key. The alphanumeric code with 25 characters appearing on the certificate of Authenticity sticker attached to the housing of the cd the best retail.

If what you have is a 20 digit (PID) code find computer properties folder, I fear that may not work.

At least get your CD case so that they can better help to get a new drive.

    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

  • Satellite P100-160: How do I get an audio driver for XP

    Can someone tell me how to get a sound driver for the P100-160.

    I have a bought a machine expect to be able to use it for my work, as Vista does not support applications that I use I have to install XP. Then I find that Toshiba seem to have selected the material that is not compatible with the drivers for XP and XP. The only ones that seem to work (after wasting much time on trial and error and forcing drivers) work very well for the session (showing that it is technically possible) but stop working after a reboot.

    Someone at - it an idea how to solve this problem? (No, I do not accept the answer 'buy a XP machine', people write drivers from scratch for Linux by reverse engineering, I'm sure that the producers of the sound card can make one for XP)

    Please check section P Satellite and you will find useful topics how to install and configure Windows XP Home on Satellite P100. Some users have reported on the installation of Windows XP Home edition successfully.

    BTW: don't wait for the drivers of Toshiba. It may take some time. Of course, any upgrade support is not finished and, as you know, the upgrade is more important than the downgrade.

  • HP Envy 110 is not printing/scanning after new driver for OSX Maverick

    Installed the new driver for the operating system MAC OSX 10.9.4.  After installation, I can not print or scan wireless even if the screen of the printer indicates that it is connected to the network from my computer.

    When you try to print, repeatedly get an error message "Cannot find printer.   Strangely, if I turn printer on, and besides, the page is printed.  This continues to happen whenever I try to print.

    In addition, I can scan only the computer.  If I try to scan directly from the printer, I get the following error message: "make sure that your HP printer software is installed.

    I have installed and reinstalled the new driver several times to nothing does not.  I also rebooted both my computer and my network without success.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Melnee ,

    What you have described, it is clear that a disconnect occurs on the side of the router, maybe a problem with the ports.  I recommend you only to contact the manufacturer of your router, as to resolve any problems that occur in the router.

    Products of the series of printers HP Designjet 1000 light Installer more HP ePrint and share (ver v447.40.4200): HP Designjet 1000 Printer series

    Description: This package installs the drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and also includes the package of ICC profiles to provide a set of color for types of HP paper profiles.

    However, when I click on the link, I am told:

    We're sorry, we couldn't find the document description driver you asked.

    Subscribe to the drivers and support alerts to be notified when information is added.

    Which is exactly what started the process.

    I am not really interested in the ePrint and store solution.  However, I am interested in new drivers when they come out.

    It is a tracer of several years old we are out of warranty.  Which excludes me an online chat with someone at HP who could tell me the download link.

    My current driver is 4.8.4.  This seems to be a series of numbering different from what is stated above.  My hypothesis is that the link above includes a newer driver than what I use.

    Anyone know where to get this new driver, or know where I can contact HP directly to find out?

    Thank you!

    The only thing I find is the ePrint and share stuff here.   You can have the best results, post in the forum HP Designjet here, Designjet experts hang out there.
