  Call the manufacturer of your computer.

  1. ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal and it is money well spent.
  2. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access the recovery of the computer partition and how to use it to restore your computer.

  None of the foregoing need by using your product key.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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.

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

  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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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.

• Lost Vista install disk - upgrade to WIN 7 - Help!

  Well, my problem is that I have an old PC that comes with windows XP Pro. About 2 years ago, I bought Vista Home from Best Buy.
  A few days ago I have upgraded to a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate and I like 25 days to activate it, which I don't want to because I lost the characteristics that I had, I seem to have some compatibility issues, etc...
  HOW to return to my Vista?
  I DO NOT HAVE my disk of Vista that I bought at Best Buy.
  My version of Vista is registered with Microsoft and I have my Original Product ID and product key.
  It would seem that Microsoft would be able to easily provide me with a replacement CD I'm paying to have delivered to me or give me a link to loadable.
  How should I proceed? Microsoft will do for me?

  Thank you much for all support information.

• Re: Satellite A100 - product key does not work on Vista installation

  Hey,.

  I'm paid to reinstall Windows Vista and all the drivers on a Toshiba Satellite A100 and it doesn't have a Vista disc, but I used guggle 1.6 to get the product key. That I reinstalled Vista Home Premium Grand with my copy of what I bought.

  But now when I try to enter the product key, it says its already in service and I get an error message.

  What should I do?

  Hello!

  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. This means that you can t use this key with a normal Vista installation disc that you can buy on the internet or in a store of the computer.

  If you want to install Vista you should a disk recovery Toshiba or a disc of Microsoft with the corresponding product key.

  You can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

  Hey,.

  I m a bit confused now
  What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

  I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?

• Satellite L350 restarts on the Vista installation

  Hey, my friend gave me his L350-145 (PSLD0E-00U00YGR) to reinstall Vista, because the system was full of Ad - and malware. He bought it on Ebay so there was no CD/DVD and booklet included and Partition Recovery is already deleted. I'm a veteran Windows so I reinstalled systems 100 times, but this one gives me the shiver.

  I created a 32-bit Vista installation DVD, following a Step - by Step Guide without any problem and formatted the drive using "Partition Wizard". 80 GB primary NTFS 'SYSTEM' and 2 logical NTFS. I reboot the system with the Vista DVD in the drive and "Windows loading files...". "- the screen apears. Installation of Vista starts propper and I select the country and language. Insert-Windows-key-screen appears and I start to type in the key. The screen turns to black and colored stripes and the system hangs or suddenly reboots without any promt somewhere on the way. It does the same thing after a few moments, if I not touch anything after the "Windows loading files...". ' - screen.

  I checked the BIOS settings, everything seems to be in order.
  I took the DVD from the drive and waited for the "no boot device" - screen for a gel or a reset... nothing.
  I started "Partition Wizard" and waited... nothing.
  This only happens after you start the installation of Vista... sooner or later.

  I'm at the end of my know how.

  Any idea?... pleeeaaase.

  welcome them
  Georg

  For me, this looks like hardware problem. Something like GPU overheating or something like that.
  Of course I can't say it for sure.
  All you can do is make some small tests to see what happens and try to find out what could be the reason for this.
  > This only happens after you start the installation of Vista... sooner or later.
  Windows-old fighter you can test with, for example from another version of Windows. Try to install Windows7.
  If possible try to speak with your friend and get another HARD drive. You can try to swap the HDD and check if the same thing will happen again.

  I installed different versions of Windows on different machines and I've never noticed anything like that. Some hardware, it must be related issue.

• First Vista installation failed: what to do now?

  I bought a Satellite L300-19F Notebook with preinstalled Vista Home Premium. Without the backup DVD, which Toshiba does not provide.

  I started the computer, still had to make choices to complete the installation and then power went. If the Vista installation has failed. It says 'install again', but since I don't have any DVD, what can I do?

  This is an OEM version. OEM is related to the motherboard. This means it is possible to borrow a Vista DVD of detail, install it from there and activate it with my OEM code?

  I agree with sascha. To be honest is none other than the first option. Just try to start the HARD drive recovery process. I hope that the next time you're lucky and also able to install and start Vista.

  The answer is that all of your files, folders, and programs should remain in their normal form. However, backup your personal files is always a good idea.
