My Vista installation disc will not work.

I bought a laptop 2 years ago that was Vista.  Last August, I tried to reinstall my OS to clean my system.  Instillation disks did not work, but I had already deleted the partition.  I used Ububtu for awhile, but now I need windows for college stuff.  Is there a way I can get a copy of windows using my product key without spending money that I don't have?

Contact the computer manufacturing and ask for replacement/recovery media.

  • Windows 7 installation disc will not work.

    I had a computer crash, so I'm returning to a computer running XP. I would like to put Windows 7 on it, but when I tried to run the install disc, nothing happens. I tried another drive with the same result and tried an independent disk, which went very well. Help, please.

    Thank you, John

    Do you have the BIOS so that the DVD drive is the first boot device?

    Also, you must insert the Windows 7 media in the DVD drive and the reboot/restart the computer.

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

  • Damaged installation disc will not read on the pc, on which I want to install, but it will read on my laptop. Can and how make a copy using my laptop and then install it on my desktop?

    I tried a lot of different options and can still seem to get anything to boot to my desktop. The disc takes a bit to pull up all the folders/files from my laptop, but once it did I copied everything that took about an hour but worked. The drive has made a crack from the Center out to halfway. I'm wondering how to set it up to burn, boot and install again on my old desktop? I have been at this for about year try different steps. To please any tip or advice would be great. Thank you!!

I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

    When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

    Hello

    If you got this message hard disk, perform a test of it.

    If it failed, you can always replace the hard drive and reinstall Vista, instead of demolition it.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > search your computer specifications > know brand of hard drive > access the Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site > find and download hard drive Diagnostic software and make a record of start of it on the computer that you use to get here, following their instructions > test your hard drive to see if it has failed.

  • WPC54G installation disc does not work

    I am trying to install a wireless card WPC54G on a Compaq Evo N600C laptop with Windows 2000 Pro operating system.  When I use the boot disk, on the screen of the license agreement, the license agreement covers the button "next".  The only button that is available is the button "Cancel".  So I can't complete the installation from the CD.

    In addition, the icon of the adapter on the toolbar says "network cable is unplugged".

    Can anyone help!  I have spent hours trying to get this work and make me desperate!

    Hi MGM, the same thing happens in Windows XP, and here's how I got around him.  Go to view-> settings-> advanced and change the DPI setting of 'Big size' to 'Normal '.  After the restart before the change takes effect, the screen of the Installation Wizard will use a slightly smaller font, and then you can click on the button "Next" that is shown in the quick installation guide.

  • The installer disc will not load?

    When I insert the installation disc in my iMac, it stays (no load) for 10-15 seconds, then auto-éjecte. The first time this happened, I assumed it was a bad drive and got a replacement. However, it happens with the replacement drive as well. I installed other software by disk successfully, recently, including an upgrade to Photoshop and does not know why the computer keeps rejecting Lightroom.

    I tried to reboot in safe boot mode and same thing.

    Any ideas how to get my computer accepts the CD so I can install the program? Thank you!

    Hi DCassie,

    1. Have you tried the 940520 full KB?

    If you have not completed the Ko 940520 try the full article and check if it works.

    If the article does not help then to recover a corrupt service, you will need to perform the repair installation of Windows vista and the Windows vista disc, you cannot perform repair installation.

    I hope this helps!
