Need help to reinstall Vista

Hello

I would like to reinstall windows vista Home premium. However, I have some problems with it. First of all, I reformatted my hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS as I heard it was better. Now the hard drive does not appear in my computer. So until I fix it, I can't back up my files. My second problem is that Vista is preinstalled on my computer. I have the original in car Image, but I don't have the software of HP recovery for some reason any. What ever you guys can do to help would be greatly appreciated. If it helps I have an available HijackThis log file.

Thank you
Jake

Normally, you will need to press F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • Need help to reinstall Vista on Bootcamp/Fusion

    Hi all

    I read through many guides to (very useful) instructions on how to install Vista Ultimate on a bootcamp partition and then load it in VMware Fusion, but I can't understand for the life of me (probably due to my lack of General knowledge with Windows) how to do a clean reinstall.

    I installed a Vista partition on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.7) a year ago and then successfully related to VMware fusion so that I can run at the same time as my Mac.  I chose to do a bootcamp rather than running installation in a purely virtual, because when grumpy people on the coast is must log remotely on my computer and mud autour, I thought it would be easier for them if it was installed on a real partition.

    However, I started having some software conflicts between Outlook and a piece of the company that owns the software, and they told me that the only way they can fix it is with a clean reinstall.  Everything that I need to the wide Vista is saved on my Mac and a reader network, but I don't know how to reinstall Vista.  Should I start Vista or do through the Bootcamp assistant?  Or do I have to delete the partition?

    All statements that can be provided would be very appreciated.  Also, I intend to move to VMware Fusion 2 (I use 1), while I'm bothering with all this, so if anyone has recommendations on the best time throughout this process of transition, which would also be very useful.  Thank you!

    Here we that I recommend:

    1. in Mac OS X, load the BootCamp Assistant

    2. There is an option to create or remove a Bootcamp partition. You want to delete the existing partition

    3 go ahead again through Bootcamp Vista installation

    4 voila, you have a clean install of Vista running on your Bootcamp partition.

    5. restart Windows. Activate it.

    6. restart in Mac OS X.

    7. If you previously had VMWare fusion configured to use your Bootcamp partition, you need to remove the VMware configuration files, located within somewhere like this:

    ~/Library/application support/VMWare Fusion / Virtual Machines / Boot

    Camp.

    8. ensure that you have upgraded from VMware to the latest version

    9. the fire to the top of VMware, it should detect your new Bootcamp partition. Load the virtual machine and install the VMware tools

    10. restart your virtual machine.

    11 activate Windows again. Voila. You now have the option to boot natively in Windows, or using Windows through VMware.

  • Need help to install Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 - error 0x800F081F - standard corrections do not work

    I have trouble getting Service Pack 1 installed on Windows Vista x 64 final.

    Current issue: SP1 does not appear as an update, and I have not yet installed.  Windows Update tells me that I'm completely up to date.

    History (memory, may be some errors):

    • Performed the new installation, including Vista Ultimate x 64 disk erasure (MSDN)
    • Updated to current with windows update
    • Installed Office 2007 Ultimate (MSDN) (don't know where update what happened)
    • Active Windows (could be a problem doing this after you install updates?)
    • Installed CPU usage, network, gadgets sidebar discs counter meter
    • Installed Live Family Safety
    • Installed Chrome
    • Installed Google Apps
    • Google Pack antivirus installed
    • Installed Google Earth
    • Attempted a manual installation of SP1 - fails with the error 0x800F081F
    At the present time, I can't get a manual of installation of SP1 to work, and Windows Update tells me that I am up to date.  -> System control panel tells me I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, but does not list all service packs.  He also confirmed that the x 64 edition is installed.
    Steps for debugging:
    • Installed the drivers for the sound card motherboard
    • A ran complete chkdsk on drive to repair bad sectors
    • Ran the system file checker - find corrupted files, but can't fix
    • Journal CBS does contain no [SF] cannot repair the entries
    • Installed continues to update the system tool - tool does eventually make a update facility - who settle whenever I run
    System Information Link: http://www.filedropper.com/systeminfo

    [1] this is a new installation, so nothing has been pre-installed.

    [2] the only antivirus that was installed is the one that is included in the google pack.  I took it...

    [3] SP1 does not appear as an update

    [4] I'm strongly considering just clean wiping and [do a clean install]

    A1. If Vista was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it and you use the OEM disks (or hidden restore partition) to reinstall Windows, any antivirus free trial which initially is preinstalled on the computer will be reinstalled, but not valid.

    A2. You have therefore no anti-virus application installed. I see.

    A3. There are several prerequisite updates that must be installed before SP1 will be offered. See...

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation via Windows Update
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343

    A4. Since you do not have an antivirus application installed, it would be your best bet. See...

    Hello

    Question: Error code 10 on Teredo Tunneling pseudo-interface.

    Teredo is a tunneling protocol designed independent platform to provide IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) connectivity to nodes that are in IPv4 networks. Compared to other similar protocols its particularity is that it is able to fulfil its function even behind network address translation (NAT) devices.

    The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager does not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager. In addition, this error may occur if one of the pilots who needs the unit does not start. If multiple drivers are used by a particular device, it can be difficult to determine which failed.
