• 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

  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.

• Sims3: someone can give me a few steps for the sims3 on a windows vista installation?

  Can someone give me a few steps for the sims3 on a windows vista installation?

  Insert the DVD into the optical drive, wait until automatic execution appears, select Run Setup.

  During the installation you will be asked for your key you will find on the booklet inside the DVD case.  It will also go and get the EA Updater software so make sure that you are connected to the internet during the installation.

• PC doesn't DETECT XP during installation. Vista installation is fine.

  PC doesn't DETECT XP during installation. Vista installation is fine.

  Hello

  I have a laptop that was previously installed on the xp machine. The system crashed and I tried to reinstall Xp home edition. But when I did that, he threw an error that it could not detect my hard drive. myinitial was that the hard drive had crashed, but the BIOS test he returned no errors. I tried vista on the machine and found that it functioned perfectly well. I trid re - install xp on the computer from the vista desktop, but it would throw into the same error after the re-start of the system. "Could not find hard disk..." Please advice...

  ATTENTION: You can not wake XP if you do not have a real XP install disc. If you try to use a recovery disc that simply does not work. I assumed you had an installation disk XP at retail with a unique product key. The only way you can use the product key on the laptop for an XP installation is if you have a generic OEM installation disc with the same version of XP that what was initially installed on the laptop. Subsequently, you will need to install all the drivers and the specific portable software for this model. You will get these from HP website.

  Again, a much better solution in your case is to buy someone or HP recovery discs as RestoreDisks.com. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

  My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

  And if you have problems with the help of the Partiiton of recovery and Acer supplies more recovery media for previous models preinstalled Vista, you may need to use this method:

  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.

• Do I need a Vista installation disk to use the Windows 7 upgrade option?

  Hi guys,.
  I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
  I'm currently running Vista 64 bit and you want to upgrade to Windows 7.
  I'm looking to upgrade and full version options.
  I'm looking to do a clean install.
  My question is, if I buy a version upgrade of Windows 7 need me a Vista installation disc to allow it?
  My PC came pre loaded with Vista, so I don't have an installation disc.
  Thank you
  
  Emma

  A copy of the full license of Windows 7 would be transferable to a computer without an operating system until it has been completely removed from the first.

  I highly recommend that you buy a copy of the full license since you think you might buy a personal computer.

  The upgrade copy would not be transferable to a new computer unless the new computer already had a copy of installed Windows on what qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 7.

• borrowed a vista installation disk to do a clean install can not activate my original key, it happens that does not apply as long as its an OEM key!

  My son borrowed a vista installation disc to do a clean install on my packard bell laptop using my original key of portable computers, everything is fine, but yesterday I tried to activate the key it happens that does not apply as long as its an OEM key! What can I do now? If I use my laptop recovery DVD will it be recognized by the operating system?

  Help please!

  The only "original" key on your laptop is on the COA sticker on the case - and NOT that of a magical JellyBean or Belarc Key recovery program.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
  Once saved, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
  To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

• WinRE: Bootrec.exe doesn't locate Vista installation

  Hello

  I am running into a problem of a friend PC repair. Essentially, Vista one day could not start.
  While it is not an expeert of support, I'm relatively confident that nothing significant not changed - no new hardware or software, and any recently retired. The symptoms are that Vista (launched in either 'normal' or safe mode"gets just beyond the loading bar before displaying a black screen with the mouse cursor present and responsive (so no important material of lock-up).

  I put around a w/SP1 of Vista installation disc and launched WinRE. Then, after trying the Startup Repair with no joy, I started to watch using Bootrec.exe. Here's where I'm confused. I follow the steps below:

  Mounting disk boot
  When you are prompted, select "repair your computer".
  Windows detects the installation of Vista and presents the opportunity to attempt to correct automatically. I say no.
  Among the advanced options I choose command line
  I run Bootrec.exe with the option ScanOs, to see the State of things at first

  And the question; No matter what happen, I run, Bootrec fails to detect the installation of Vista. This up really me, because of course, it is already detected by the main environment RE (or I guess it wouldn't let me not even get as much as I did).

  Readers of this machine are all the IDE, so it isn't a problem of storage driver (I think!).
  More difficult still is the fact that there is an old this installation of Windows XP on another drive, and now, at startup, the computer runs NTLDR instead of Bootmgr. I can boot into two Acronis, using my drive to boot to it, and two other types of Linux I own. At the moment I'm backup data to a new installation. However, I need to understand this if possible behavior - why Bootrec cannot see the installation?

  Anyone can shed light on this mess?

  Thank you very much

  Stevie Stevie lamb lamb

  Stevie lamb,
  The only time where I heard of this particular issue where bootrec cannot find the Windows partition even if the recovery environment can, if there is another operating system installed on the same drive, usually a type of Linux OS, and the worm was installed to / root accidentally, instead of for/Boot.  This makes the situation where the Linux (or similar) charger OS appeared before the Windows boot loader.  What situation in your case?  If so, you can search in other online forums and find a lot of people who have similar problems using Linux operating system type.  Here's the article Microsoft Knowledge base by using the bootrec.exe tool and the restoration of the BCD.

• Reformatting of your laptop, Vista installs the wrong version (Home Premium instead of Basic)

  So I erased the hard drive on a Toshiba Satellite a200 laptop class and im trying to reinstall Vista HB (and here, an operating system has been paid for, but also, no disk has been given... UM o) if I'm using a generic Vista disk and try to re-enter the key on the bottom of the computer. but the drivers are all defective, not allowing does not connect to the internet somehow, and Vista installs as a copy of the premium. the key is Basic, and the drive says its generic and includes all versions of Vista. 3 discs of generic vista I did, Bay drive only a bed and install as Home Premium. Is there a site where I can download a trial version of Vista HB and put the key, or a site that has drivers available for the user to download for free without having to install a bogus program, because they also paid for the drivers in the first place?

  Hey isayuh

  There is no sites for free and legal download for vista

  Once installed, you can not change the version of vista by changing a product key

  you need to reinstall vista correctly

  you get your Toshiba drivers

  Click on the download tab in the link and enter your model number

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  I suggest you contact toshiba on the recovery options:

  and ask them to send you vista recovery discs

  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 F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• What is the difference between my "reinstallation DVD' and a 'Windows Vista Installation disk'

  In a thread on repair Vista (link below), "a real Windows Vista Installation disc" has been claimed. Laptop Dell Inspiron 1525, my wife took a Dell DVD "Reinstalling Windows Vista Home Premium 32 BIT SP1 - DVD".

  Are they equivalent?

  In general, yes your reinstall Dell drive is identical to a disc to install Windows genuine.

  The differences are not applicable for the repair procedure. (FYI - Toshiba and HP Vista, the disks cannot be used to perform a repair install, while gateway disks will work for Vista)
