• Need to reinstall Vista, but don't have a recovery disk or a Vista disk

  Hello.

  I have a Sony Vaio CR series (model VGN-CR36G/B) laptop. It comes with Windows Vista Home Premium OEM. I don't have a disk of Vista when I bought my computer. Also, I received no recovery discs, although I had a recovery partition set up on top of the computer.

  My hard drive has experienced a total mechanical failure, which means that I could not recover all the data. I now have a new hard drive cool. My question is, since I've paid for Vista delivered during the purchase of the computer, can I get a DVD of Vista now Microsoft? I am currently in the United States, which means that contact with Sony Center India (where I bought the computer) will take time. I have my Windows product key. Who will be of any help?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You really need the Sony OEM disc as it has special drivers and utilities on this issue only Windows retail version
  would not. It is 'possible' that the rest of Sony have the same model and you can use those
  disks if they will work for you other wise, like languages.

  This is my generic answer, so that you know some options well since you will need to re - install from
  scratch on a new drive hard is really no choice except to get the disks.

  Check with your system manufacturer that they all slightly different methods. They may have included a recovery
  Partition or other methods to restore the default value. Also your system manufacturer will sell you the physical disks at a great price
  Since you already own windows.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

• How can I reformat my drive hard when I'm away from my windows vista disk?

  System backup and restore do not work. My windows update does not work.

  I have spyware and viruses that mess my computer. I have to reformat my hard drive and I can't find my windows freakin vista disk.

  So how do reformat you without disk of window vista, I need detailed instructions on how to do this.

  Without an OS disk, Vista or otherwise reformat will not improve your
  situation. You have options that...
   
  a. you can use the integrated recovery of your PC system (if it has one). Often
  It's accessible by repeatedly pressing F12 during restart (you may machine)
  be different). Do not forget to copy on critical files before you implement a
  recovery, or one of the following options...
  b. you can contact your PC manufacturer and ask a set of Vista restore disks to
  as your system to its original state. There may be charges for
  This service.
  c. you can buy a new set of installation of Windows 7.

• How can I get an another vista disk to reboot my laptop

  Hi all

  I had a system crash about a year because of a virus and a friend wiped my laptop and installed xp saying it was better than vista.

  However, I had nothing but bother with him for about 6 months now, it's just doesn't work the same and of course I can't update the system either.

  I hunted for the vista disk provided with the laptop but I can not find them anywhere and it will cost me a small fortune for a store to reinstall vista for me even if I have my product key.

  Is there anyway that I can get this disk from toshiba or Microsoft to reinstall?

  Thank you

• Satellite L305D - cannot HARD - Vista disk partition

  I have a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite L305D which I'm unable to partition.
  It works under windows vista.

  I released the hard drive up to 74 GB of capacity of 120 GB.
  Recently, I used utility partition paragon that signals the related files and is so unable to make the partition.
  The narrowing of Vista utility does not display again whatever it is, it appears as 0.

  Hello

  What kind of partitions you now exactly?

  Perhaps you can post a screenshot of the Vista disk management utility because I m a bit confused now. You wrote about 74 GB of free space and Vista doesn't show anything

  I hope this can help you a bit:

• Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

  Hi all!

  I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

  I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

  pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

  As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

  Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
  2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
  3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
  It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

  Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

  To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
  After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

  ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
  2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
  20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
  21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  More on Vista worked properly!

  Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

  2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
  20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
  21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

  during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

  HOWEVER:
  ========

  If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
  2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  This means:
  VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
  Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

  Issues related to the:

  Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

  Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

  Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

  Is there a solution for this problem?

  At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

  Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

  Girard

  > Have you ever see similar behavior?
  NO.

  > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
  I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

  As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
  An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

  That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

  However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

  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 F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
