Laptop did not come with Win7 DVD! I need to re - format!

OK, so I bought a Toshiba satellite notebook computer with Windows 7. I need to reformat the laptop, but it never came with a DVD of Windows 7 then, how in the world do I re - install?

I have the product key and everything on the computer, but when I'd get the software? If you ask me how can anyone spend $ 700 on a laptop and it does not come with the DVD or drivers it is nuts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a link to order the laptop recovery disk.

    Hello

    1st thing to try is the system in safe mode restore to before the problem

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html

    When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

    The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215#letmefixit

    Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947242

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    and if you need to reinstall vista, here are the different ways to do it:

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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 $

    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 Alt + F10 or 0 to start 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

  • Why in the world a laptop would not come with a dvd player? This is the most stupid thing ever

    I do not buy laptops often, it's only my second laptop computer purchase after having spent five years with an HP laptop. Was not the greatest, but it helped me to get through school and work. Now, I buy an acer because I heard a lot of people it's a great brand, but I'm quickly doubt that. Why? It is not a cd/dvd drive. Why in the world a laptop never would come without one?

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • My computer did not come with a Windows XP restore disk

    My computer did not come with a restore Windows XP disc and I don't know how to get one, because my computer keeps restarting itself and that goes, "your computer must was closed incorrectly, or because of a power failure" and he gives me 3 options of safe mode and then gives me the opportunity to go to windows normally... but all the options I chose... It keeps just restarting on me... My computer did not come with a restore disc and Idk anyone who owns one... then where would I go to get one?

    Some computers have a built-in hard disk recovery partition.  Search for information on this subject on the BIOS screen that appears the first thing when the computer starts.  By pressing Ctrl + F11, accesses a recovery on some Dells partition.

    Otherwise, contact the computer manufacturer and ask if they can provide a restore disc.

    I bought 2 new laptops. Both come with Windows already... so, if I need to reinstall windows... How/where/can do?

    Hello

    For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

    I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

    Here are the General options of relocation for you:

    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.

    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.

    See you soon.
