My laptop cannot start or repair itself, Windows has been installed at the factory, so I have no boot disk, is there a way to get a free boot disk?

I had problems with my laptop for a few weeks, I used Chkdsk to fix the problem she was having. Yesterday the comp froze while I was using firefox and when I reset windows not load and cannot repair themselves. My OS was installed at the factory, and I have the product key, but Windows no disk. Is there a way to fix my computer without buying another drive in windows?

Hello

Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

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 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

or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

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

    Hello

    As they installed a "pirated" copy of Vista, you need to reinstall Vista yet.

    And if your recovery disks do not work, you should contact the manufacturer of your computer to the recovery disks does not.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Read what you don't say if you have the recovery disks when you bought your laptop, or if you have made yourself the recovery Partition

    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.

    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

  • My office has been reset to the factory settings. I am enrolled in my sync account, but my favorites that are on my laptop, did not came to the top. Now what?

    I was fortunately sync-ed a year betweem my computer laptop Mac iBook and desktop HP - a lot of bookmarks - I am a student. My office had a small problem and I got it clean and reset to the factory settings. I'm now creating upward. I installed Firefox and made Google my default search engine. Then I logged in sync - no problem (even email, password... I wrote it!) I clicked sync, but my favorites are not come to the top. I closed Firefox and re-opened, but still no bookmarks. I looked at the settings and everything is checked. I wouldn't change anything. What Miss me? Thank you.

    Both devices use new synchronization and more importantly on Firefox 30.

    If you you don't need the synchronization of the former, and even if you use the same address as used for synchronization of the old all should operate under the new synchronization.

    I think that the new synchronization drops devices that have not synchronized within the past 21 days.

  • What version of Windows has been installed originally on HP pavilion

    I'm working on a HP pavilion Notebook. I'm trying to install the OS on one drive hard new, after the death of the other. I have the sticker code key, complete with the key code and a few other numbers, one under a bar code on the side of the tile. The part that rubbed off is the name of the operating system that is the key code. I don't know if it's XP, Vista, home, Pro or this Service pack. Is it possible to say what OS the key code is for with only the key code and the other two numbers?

  • Start an Android application that has been installed with navigateToURL()?

    I saw a mention of a Java called 'intent' method, but I don't know how to implement this in AS3 (Flash or Flash Builder).

    I am launching a SWF that can be launched via the load() method.  For some reason even if I post the SWF file in a wrapper HTML and separately using the Flash debugger, when I try to use the load() method it does not load.  I get a few AS3 errors when debugging that have to do with Classes using the SWF file.

    So I thought, if I installed the apk from the SWF file and launched the apk with navigateToURL, it should work.  But I need the right arguments.  I have also considered fscommand.  When I say arguments, I guess I'm talking more about the specific file name and path that the installed Android app is registered to the name.

    Thanks in advance,

    Markerline

    you are probably a reference to the scene or something on stage BEFORE your loaded swf is added to the stage.  that the why you have no problem when you test the swf as a stand-alone file and you have a problem when loading it.

    to remedy this, use an Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE listener before trying to refer to the foregoing.  If you do not understand the question/how resolves, copy and past the first 90 or so lines FontExtrusionDemo.as

    Hello Astroguy,

    Thank you for your response back!

    Good to know that you have done a repair install.  What I would do is run the SFC scan, because you performed the installation of repair recently the chances are that the SFC scan should be good.  If there is a problem, it will signal you when finished.

    Then I would go to Windows Update to check if he has new updates and/or try to update all those who did not.  If you still get the updates that do not please let us know what he's trying to put up-to-date and error.

  • Windows 8 is installed on the wrong partition

    I just opened my Ideapad u430 and immediately noticed that the windows that OS has been installed on the 500 GB sata drive instead of the SSD. I am sure that the whole point of the SSD part has been to install the OS on it to speed up performance. Tips on how to transfer the OS on the other side of the partition without the original disks?

    Well, no, in my humble OPINION, but you may be able to make it work for your particular needs.

    Size - 24GO - confirms that it is a caching of the road, and the operating system has not been installed on the wrong partition.
