  Hello SNQQPYSALS,

  You have a few choices:

  1. contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery DVDs.

  They do it for a small fee.

  2 borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend, etc. (NOT a recovery DVDs) Microsoft DVD will contain all versions of Vista.

  This is your product key that determines which version is installed.

  Just make sure you take the correct 32-bit or 64-bit DVD in Vista 'bit' come on 2 different DVDs.

  3. IF your hard drive is still working, make a game of the recovery before it completely Partition recovery DVDs fails.

  The manufacturer will tell you how.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

• Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

  It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

  I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

  Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Any way to load Vista on a new hard drive on a Toshiba Satellite with a broken cd player? Help!

  I dropped a laptop Toshiba Satellite A215 SS818 three year, upstairs. The hard drive and CD drive are damaged. I replaced the hard drive, and with the advice of a store of large surface, I bought an external pioneer CD/DVD reader/burner-usb 2. I think I need to download DirectX9 and install the latest drivers from device WHQL also, according to the requirements on the box.

  Duh - I realized, I can't use it to install the OS if the player needs software first downloaded to the laptop (didn't think it out while in a hurry in the middle of the store).

  Is it possible to get this OS installed via other external means?

  Thanks for any help.

• Erasing a hard drive WELL on a machine with Windows 7 and 8

  OK, I have two laptops, I'll sell, a HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and a 2000 HP with Windows 8. I want to make sure that no personal info is left on them. I used the function "reset" on the Windows 8 machine and I used on the Windows 7 machine recovery disks. Some of what I saw online, that should be enough, but others say I should also use Windows Eraser, or something like that, make sure that no programs recovery software can recover all the data (if the person I have to sell is be a techie).

  ... And some say just to use the computer strongly without putting any personal information on this subject and it will make all previous data unrecoverable thereon, but does not say how strongly or for how long to use a computer to ensure that all personnel in this regard is unrecoverable.

  So what is the answer? I don't have the recovery disc for the computer of Windows 8, I guess that I had to get a part or do some before using a hard drive eraser.

  Thank you

  Hi Qathe2013,

  Let me first answer your last question: in most cases, yes you will need your recovery disc or you will end up with a computer without an operating system.  However most manufacturers, including HP, put another partition on the hard disk with a file recovery: what you need to reinstall the operating system.  Depending on how it is configured, this additional partition on the hard drive may or may not appear when you browse your files and folders in Solution Explorer, then you might need to make sure that the manual.

  As to the "use the computer heavily and no info cannot be recovered", it's just about the fact that computers are still using re-use of space available disk and overwrite the old regions on the disk.  After a few re-writes the original data cannot be recovered using costly and sophisticated same restoration processes.  But you have no way of knowing if your real personal data was really erased.

  I will say that for most, just format the disk is enough.  I might personally feel safe with that I don't have - or even just using the function to reset the PC in Windows 8.  However, this does mean that a sufficiently motivated person were able to restore the bits of information I have.  So a program that replaces empty space on the disk with random data (sometimes referred to as "zero-ing" the disc) would put you at ease.

  I would also say long you can get your hands on the recovery CD (or make sure that the recovery partition exists), you can go ahead and clean the drive, reinstalled Windows itself and sell the PC.

  The OEM of Windows 8.0/8.1 license is related to the motherboard and not the hard drive, so you can reuse the new hard disk provided his will in the same computer.

  About the old drive you need not to worry about the formatting as the old disk can never be reused. If you want to be sure, you can physically break the old disk with a hammer before throwing.

• How to reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

  The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

  I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
  I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

  Hello
