Need a CD for reinstallation of Windows Vista.

I bought a new computer, but it did not come with a Vista CD.  How can I create one?  I expect disasters, but sometimes I prefer to reformat the hard drive only to try to understand how to get rid of spyware and viruses.

Hello

You can make the recovery discs from the recovery partition to factory settings (how you bought)

ask the manufacturer how to

and read this:

How 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

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    2. where can I get software Toshiba controls? (or how to make combination "Fn +...") ("for work?)

    PS Sorry for my bad English. From Russia with love :-)

    Hello

    I know that this list of facilities is a little confusing for you, but you must understand that there are several different hardware platforms for each series laptop and it is logical that you should not install driver Intel if you have ATI graphics card.

    Important is to understand where you need to install display driver. Sorry, but for me this pretty logic is.

    About the FN control buttons, I can confirm what the previous forum user wrote. It is a part of VAP. VAP contains several applications. One of them is FLASH CARDS.

  • Reinstallation of Windows Vista license on my new computer that my old computer broke down.

    Windows Vista I had installed on my old computer is a VERSION under LICENSE and the same one I want to use it on my new computer.  When I installed and activated the windows, he says it is hacked.  Should I allow myself the license if yes how.  It can be done from my old computer as it broke down. Need help.

    Hello

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.
