My computer will not download windows vista sp1

I tried the update of windows vista sp1, and it continues to fail. I even tried manually upgrade and still nothing. I recently bought an external hard drive and I thought that I formatted it to my pc and mac. Well my pc does not recognize it because sp1 is not installed. I can't yet do a clean restore and download windows vista because I don't have the CD. Is there anything I can do to receive sp1. I see that many people have had this problem.

Hello

How have you tried to manually install SP1?

SP1, SP2, and then should be installed years ago

___________________________________________________________

Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

Vista SP2 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

To reinstall Vista.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery discs, IF it is still available.

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 on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought 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.

Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

___________________________________

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.

___________________________________

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

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • My computer will not download pictures from a memory card

    My computer does not recognize my pictures to download from my memory card. The camera is a Lumix DMC - FZ7, the computer is a HP Pavilion NY553AA #ABA using Windows 7 and the software processing associated with the picture.  The error I get is, "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable", however, it captures some of my photos, but not all. And when I use another computer using Vista, the downloads are impeccable. Why the download does not work on my RESUME?

    Hi Vicki AH,.
     
    This problem can occur if the file, folder, or file system index is corrupted.

    On which drive you are trying to copy your photos?
     
    I suggest you run Chkdsk on the drive on which you are trying to copy photos.
     
    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    You can solve some computer problems by checking a disk or disks to find errors. For example, you can check your computer's main hard drive to solve some performance issues, or if it does not work, you can check an external hard drive.
     
    Follow the steps below:
     
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
     
    2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
     
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.
     
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
     
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors.
     
    Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors.
     
    This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
     
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
     
    4. click on start.
     
    Check out the link for more details below:
     

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  • Computer will not download from the internet

    I saw on this site that other people have similar problems with Vista suddenly refusing to download anything on the internet, even if they use a different browser.  Personally, I use Firefox and the same problem occurs even if I use IE.  I tried all the methods disabiling my Add-ons, restarted my laptop, etc.  No one answered that these methods have worked.  I don't see if it is malware on my laptop because I can not download the removal tool.  I was able to download Vista SP2 and other updates, but that was it.  Nothing else does.  Is there another way to solve this thorny problem?  This issue started back around April of this year after an update for an Ipod.

  • Home PC will not boot Windows Vista after updating sound card drivers.

    Okay, so I built a brand new pc last night. A worked like a charm, perfectly executed and all. Installed a new sound card, opened it and a few minutes put in my computer, install the drivers and had it works perfectly. Windows loaded perfectly, no problem at all anywhere. Then I'll update the drivers for the sound card, a large download but he finished. He was trying to install the drivers, then while he was, I've been on google chrome on facebook and then randomly, I lost the internet connection. My receiver wifi for my computer was fine and turned on and running great, but for some reason any my computer does not pick up a signal even if all my other devices don't. When the drivers have been installed and the updates are finished, I rebooted my computer.

    Problems from there. I turned the computer back and tried to boot windows, but computer science got to the vista loading screen and then resets. He made several times. So I tried to boot into the last known good configuration. I spent the loading screen, then a flashed blue screen with a bunch of words and he said something along the lines of "Windows has encountered an error", but disappeared in literally one second about. Then the computer shuts down. Since then whenever I try to start in windows, I don't yet get to the loading screen, any choice I use to try to start in windows, no work. When I choose one my computer just is a black screen. It loads the bios very well and everything works great but the OS is the question.

    Any suggestions?
