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 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

need vista in windows vista 64-bit upgrade Express dvd, but can't without a yellow sticker? is - this saposed to be somewhere on my pc? or on the vista cd case? and how to make the upgrade without the sticker?
32-bit to 64-bit is NOT an upgrade path.
It must be done with a clean installation using a Vista FULL 64-bit disk/license.
Buy a version of disk/license FULL Vista 64 bits of your local computer, or online store: amazon, newegg, etc.

If you already have a version of Vista Home 64 bit, here's how to buy Vista 64 bit Ultimate Anytime Upgrade:

Pavilion g7-1281nr: how to make a record of the hard disk operating system
I tried to google the answer and know how to make a disc of windows 7 operating system. We are starting to see some problems with windows and I want a real physical disk in case we have a hard disk crash. the problem is google and the hp support page says to click a shortcut in windows to start the process, but this shortcut does not exist. I have HP LaunchBox manager and HP Setup Manager. What to do to make the drive o/s?
I'm sorry, but your information is wrong. The correct way to be able to burn the discs is:
go to start
find HP help and Support
Click on the one here is the HP configuration manager
run this program
Click set up backup
in the new window, you have 2 options
Automatically back up files locally
or
Create recovery discs
choose to create recovery disks
Now click on
Launch the HP Recovery Manager
Now you can choose
Recovery media creation
It is not in the start menu as stated the help files you sent.
I figured it out by just clicking things and fell into it.

However, as it's an exdisplay I don't have books or CDs and do not have a backup disk. How can I fix my blue screen? When I can not open in Safe Mode, I clearly need a VISTA installation disc but how can I get on these without having to buy AGAIN
Hello tamster2708,
Whatever your machine a display model of the manufacturer "must" give you an option to restore your PC to factory conditions. This is done in two ways. (1) a Windows DVD is provided. (2) the operating system is on a hidden partition on the hard drive of the system. Chances are yours is this one.
As you have no literature tell you what keys press when to start your machine which will allow you to access the recovery partition, I suggest you to contact the store you purchased your machine from and to ask their technical support how are you suppose to go on the restoration of your machine to factory conditions.
You might alos visit PC manufacturers Web site and look to the top of the brand and the model of your machine, just in case they have a downloadable guide. If you can download a user guide, browse and search for "restoring your PC back to factory conditions" this will then tell you how to restore program.
If your machine is not a copy of the operating system on a hidden partition then ask the shop how you are going to get an OS DVD, ensuring that you point out that 'they' should have provided a way for you to restore your system should any problems arise.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
