Ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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 F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
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

Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Need to file for "TOHSIBA Recovery Disc Creator" on Satellite A205-s5825
Hello
I've got Satellite A205-s5825
Well, I'm 4,000 km of distance from my Toshiba Recovery DVD, comes with the box.
No problem - I can use the recovery disk creator... so I thought.The laptop is less than a week in use, no partitions are changed, etc.
Well, page 59 of my guide tells me to 0 (zero) button while turning on the machine to start in the partition recovery... No, this won't work. I tried many different variations.And 60 page told me to use the 'Office' for the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator icon.
No, there is no icon. It is the same graph icon here, but it is for "Toshiba Software Updates" and not "Recovery Disc Creator"Toshiba Assist (executable program)... No, not help for this.
I looked in every path of C: trying to find out what executable mystery... and also any exploration of menu start... nothing.I need Windows executable for "Recovery Disc Creator". (need name of file as trdc.exe or something else)
Anyone know it?Thank you
(P.S. Shell repair when pressing F8 and asking "repair my computer" also does not provide the option to create recovery discs.
It assumes that you have already created those when in the shell.)Hello
It seems that it is not a European model possibly the American TV series so I put t know exactly how it works in the portable American TV series but by pressing the F8 key, and then choosing the option fix my computer would start the HDD recovery procedure.
It would be the same as restoring from Recovery CD or DVD.The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator must be also installed somewhere on the HARD drive.
I think you should check the folder programs and Toshiba.Best regards

Satellite P100 locks after inserting the DVD + RW disc
My P100 crashes after inserting the dvd + rw disc.
If I turn on the computer with the floppy disk in the drive (in general), it works.
I use the wrong type of dvd.
Can you advise?Hello
There are many different models of Satellite P100, and I think that the units were delivered with different drives.
But if the laptop came with DL reader so it should also could handle the DVD + RW.Does happen with different DVD + RW from different manufacturers?
I think that in the manual you will find a list with tested and compatible media that you can use.
This list, I found in the user manual on my satellite. -
My computer will display the BIOS boot screen then do nothing yet, I insert the Windows installation disc and I press F11, 12 > no response, F10 > BIOS Setup. What should I do with it?
Brand: HP
Type: laptopModel No.: Pavilion zt3000512 MB DDR1 RAMThank you very much!Hi Dominic,
Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?
If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.
NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.
