Need a DVD to install Vista on a new HD

I bought this computer in June 2007.  My wife uses it and loves it.  The hard drive crashed and I installed a new disk and the computer recognizes it.  But I do not have a disk to reload the operating system.  My verification code is the bottom of the computer and is: <> product key removed >.  The computer is too nice to not run again, so I need a floppy or can download on this computer and burn a disk to fix the other.  Willing to pay.  Help, please.

The computer is a Dell Inspiron e1505 32-bit Windows Vista

Two guides to follow here:

1. start your own Thread/Question in these Forums, instead of adding to the problems of someone else; especially for a Thread replied 3 years

2. do NOT post your product keys from in the Forums, as you run the risk that they are stolen.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I have a compaq cq71. The HARD drive is faulty (as told by checking the hard drive) and must be replaced. I'm going to buy a new HARD drive but don't know how I can install Vista on it. I have no Vista disk, only the recovery on the old damaged hard disk partition. Can I access the recovery partition is if possible I can create a floppy disk to install from here? Alternatively, if I could borrow a disk from someone else? I still have the product key of Vista on the bottom of my machine.

  • Qosmio G30: Cannot burn DVD after installing Vista

    Hello

    I'll upgrade to Vista, but the problem is that there is no PILOT of RAM DVD!
    What I ask is the following: -.

    1 at - it Web site that display all the drivers {for Toshiba}

    2-if I was not installed this program, I could record DVDs?

    3. If there is a driver for it, I am glade he get you {vista}

    Yes I forgot to mention 1 thing, my machine is QOSMIO G30!

    Best regards

    knk2006

    1. Yes, you can view all the drivers for your laptop model and the operating system on this page:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

    2. I think there, like WinXP, already supported this, a base built into a program for recording discs, but I do not like he doesn't have many options. I suggest you try other programs like nero 3rd party

    3. normally, this DVD Ram driver should be included in Vista. Maybe you could try to use another program, as I mentioned above.

  • HARD drive crashed, need to install vista on the new drive. Pc product key is dispelled. Is this possible?

    I may be able to start my drive enough to get something out of windows itself, but the drive does often not at all. The recovery partition is toast as well. It is a true copy of Vista 32 bit Home Edition, but the key on the bottom is almost completely dissipated, essentially unusable. How should I proceed?

  • Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

    original title: Please help!

    I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

    Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

  • Install Vista on a new HARD drive help

    A few days ago my hard drive died. No idea why, but it has just stopped working. I went out and bought a new hard drive at best buy and went home to install Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything works fine until it gets to "Expand the files" around 26%. Once it gets there it just goes to the 'Blue screen of death '. I use a serious Vista x 86 iso to install it (it was my old OS so I just used the serial code I had). I tried to install it 3 times now and no luck.

    Now when I turn on my computer it will say "press any key to start from the CD or DVD and BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart"I did another disk and it burned at a lower speed and still happens. Anyone know what is happening?

    Specifications of the computer.
    Processor: AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core, 2.40GHz
    Installed memory - 8192 MB/PC2-6400(2048/DDR2 SDRAMx4)
    DD - WD Caviar Green 500 GB SATA

    Or just look to the high HP M9400F.

  • Install Vista on the new hard drive with upgrade media

    Original harddrive in Lenovo has failed. I replaced but didn't have a recovery disk. I bought Windows Ultimate up grade, and he scored when I installed the new drive. After the initial installation, new drive must be reformatted (again). Now windows says my registration number is already installed. It was purchased by me and installed on my original Lenovo machine. I have the original product code on the back of my Lenovo and the new product code on Vista Ultimate box. What can I do to register again? Thank you. Mike

    You must first install the original operating system and activate.  THEN install the Vista upgrade and which activate.  You can't ignore all during the installation of the original operating system.  You can't do a full install of a drive to upgrade (or product key).  I suggest that contact the manufacturer for a set of discs of recovery of re - install the original system.  It is the only way that this is possible.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
