Need to do system restore in Vista, but don't have no restore disks

• 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?

• file missing or corrupt XP Windows, system restore disks do not work. Help, like xp, like vista or win 7

  My desktop has windows xp media center edition with Service Pack 3 for years, there work and maybe it's time to junk food, however my laptop has windows vista, which I don't like, I have seen windows 7 and am not fond of him either, so what can I do? When I load the system restore disks that it doesn't load until a certain point where it says it is to copy the files, then tells me that the restore is complete. When to start again, I said the file "\system32\hal.dll ' is corrupted or missing and reinstall... How do I do that?  Thanks for any help.

  I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

  When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

  This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

  Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

  Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid

  have a pc unstabel again.

• I need to install the SP1 for Vista, but get message at the stage of installing "updates are not configured correctly. Change back '

  I understand that you now have returned back to factory settings and have installed all updates except for service packs.

  .

  You will need to install the required service packs-

  You will need to install SP1 before installing Sp2.

  I can't help you with the trend, but from memory, you must allow it's Installer to download to facilitate the download and installation etc.

• Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm system restore disks required

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm.  The hard drive has been damaged without repair possible and I put a new hard drive in it, but I have system restore disks.  They are no longer available for purchase.  Anyone know where I can get a set?  The original operating system is Windows Vista.

  Hello:

  I don't see that HP has them.

  It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.

  But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.

  If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

• 13 items (disk installation, no download), I received as a gift but don't have a hard drive on my HP Ultrabook.  I am able to buy what to get a downloadable version?

  I got Photoshop elements 13 (install the disk version, install the download version) as a gift, but don't have a hard drive on my HP Ultrabook.  After you enter the redemption code to get the serial number, I expected (seemingly naively) to have the possibility to choose a downloadable version of the product to begin the installation.  Anyone know if there is a way to redeem this for get a downloadable version?

  the program is free.  the serial number to activate is what costs money (and what you received if all goes well in this gift).

• Satellite L 40 Vista Premium - cannot read the original system restore disk

  My satellite L40 was bought a year ago, and so far I never needed the system restore CD. But now I have a missing system file so I will try to re - install. But my computer will not read the CD, if I insert it before starting my computer or windows Vista.
  Is there a way I can download the CD to restore the system on the Internet?

  Hello

  No you can't download because that would hurt microsoft license stuff. I recommend you ask a partner in your country for replacement, if your machine is still under warranty.

  Please go here and find the service provider nearest to them for help.
