Hey mklafert
Sorry for the eve of Christmas, but there is no legal or free vista doesn't download only internet pirated versions that you would not want t for a gift
I suggest that you contact acer and ask them to send you a set of disks of replacement for recovery of the acer link below but it will take time
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
But if you can borrow a microsoft dvd vista not acer hewlett-packard or the like discs of recovery of a friend or relative you might try to install vista in this way using your product outside of the laptop case key to install the family version correct vista premium of the dvd, and then go to acer and get the right drivers for your computer laptop model number
Just make sure you get the good dvd vista
There are two microsoft vista DVD produced is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit
most of the computers came with 32 bit installed unless he asked a 64-bit
and if you happen to also have a recovery on your computer partition acer laptop, you can start the recovery to factory standards by pressing Alt + F10 at startup
There used to be a password you need to enter too
It was 5 or 6 zeros
If necessary, contact acer for this information
I hope that you have a happy holiday season
Merry Christmas

I need 2 reinstall windows vista, but have had is no longer my installation cd, cani always reinstall?
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? No need to install Windows Vista
Hello
I'm new to this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in the Brazil. I have a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpgAnd here is an example of the use of backgrounds animated with Windows Vista, deskscapes called dreamscene.
It is in pause mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpgTo perform a new installation of windows Vista:
Please, download drivers Toshiba RAID here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/RAID.rar1 copy the contents of this archive on a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. turn on your computer and press F12 to display the start menu.
4. Select the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. on the first Setup screen, choose your language options, and then press "next".
6. press on "install now".
7 type your product key and then press "next".
8. accept the license terms by checking the box, then press "next".
9. when he asked "which type of installation that you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. when it is asked "Where do you want to install Windows?", make sure that your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, and then click on "Load driver".
11. navigate to the location you copied the RAID drivers then press 'OK '.
12. the installation program will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13 make sure that the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected, and then press "next".
14. continue the installation of Windows Vista as usual.Now, you will need drivers Toshiba for your Qosmio G20:
See the information of Device Manager:
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpgDrivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar2 battery and Bluetooth monitor
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar3 display Nvidia GeForce Go 6600 driver

http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/flasmedia.rarAnd finally the Toshiba Utilities:
Toshiba Configfree
Toshiba Assist
RAID utilities
Remote Control Manager
Toshiba SD Memory utilitiesThat's all...
So, I say to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
Hope this helps the people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their computers Qosmio G20.

Hello
Hope someone here might be able to help. Running Windows Vista Ultimate Pro OS but realize I have to make the trip up to 7 or 8.1. Can someone tell me how to do this (i.e. should I get Windows 7, then update to 8.1, or can simply go directly from Vista to 8.1)? I'm hoping to minimize the costs that we are on a bit of a fixed income here. Can I use upgrades or what I must have full OS to move?
On the front of MS Office, currently sports Office 2007, but desperately need to move until the most recent is and again, this can be done cheaply? I mean can I pay at a discounted price on eBay or Amazon or I have to go directly to the shop of MS to ensure an authentic copy (but * frown * full price)?
It's been rough, the last 4 years, but I think that things are finally looking a bit and wanted to get new systems / software in place while I still had the chance. Don't want to be caught in the position where Microsoft continues the upgrade / support versions that I run, it's a kind of scary place, unless it is on an old / computer test, but not my direct computer to use computers all day.
Any assistance with this will be appreciated. Thank you all and have a great day!
Hello
Nothing can 'do with it' If you want legal software.
What, whether it's "buyer beware".
It's your choice where you buy your software since.
With Windows 7 Microsoft no longer sells, so you use Amazon, etc.
There is no way to upgrade Vista to 8.1
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

I need to reinstall Windows Vista but the sticker on the laptop product key is not readable.
My partner has an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. He needs a complete reinstallation of Windows because there a lot of problems now. The problem is the sticker of the product key on the laptop is often illegible. I tried to use the Magic Jelly Bean finder key to resolve this issue, but the key does not match what the letters which are readable on the sticker. I tried this on my own laptop and had the same problem (sticker key did not key on the computer). Neither laptops have had Windows reinstalled before. I learned that the keys posted by Magic Jelly Bean are in fact license keys of Volume factory installed by the OEM rather than found on the stickers product keys and Volume license keys cannot be used to reinstall Windows.
His cell phone doesn't have a recovery disk or a recovery partition, but even if she did, given its current state, a complete reinstallation is what it takes. Her cell phone is not come with a Windows Installation DVD, either, but we can borrow one from a friend who owns a disk with the same version of Windows as his laptop and I know that works perfectly. We just need a way to recover the product key that was on the sticker. We are not ready to buy a new copy of Windows that we already have a license (through the purchase of the laptop) key.
PS I remember that I helped my father after reinstall Windows XP. We tried both the key on the sticker of his PC and the one that we found on the PC itself (Volume key). In the end, only the key on the sticker has worked. This confirms that a Volume license key cannot be used to reinstall Windows.
Hello
We cannot help you with your product key and there are no records of loan use
recovery discs are brand and the specific model
and product key finder programs will not help you find product keys that you can use vista preinstalled in these circumstances
to reinstall vista use either disk or recovery partition recovery manufacturer, since they do not normally require an input key product on your part
The manufacturer must provide a way to reinstal vista or by disk or a recovery Partition
Contact Acer recovery Vista disc
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
and Acer has a "hidden" recovery partition
Normally with an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process, or if it is still ongoing, you go to section eRecovery under [programs and search for how to make recovery discs and the use of the recovery partition

I need the Microsoft Windows Vista even if only I don't have registed my Vista came with my laptop
I bought the SONY VAIO FW21L 3.5 years and along came with it pre installed is Windows Vista Home Premium and I don't know if it is 32 bit or 64 bit. I have behind my laptop sticker indicating the product key and I do not have registed my version of Microsoft's Windows Vista.
Now that my laptop crashed and I ended up formatting my hard drive, I would like to know if Microsoft could provide a downloadable version of Window Vista Home Premium and I could use my product key to get installed it in my laptop.
I would like the answer to Microsoft.
Thank you
Hello
It is not Microsoft.
These are public Forums set up by Microsoft on their servers and animated by them.
We are mainly Windows users help each other here.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact Sony and ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for this model.
They should do this for a small fee.
Like you have never had a DVD to reinstall, you'd have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall the operating system from and you should also have her recovery discs...
But thanks to you, formatting the hard drive, you have probably wiped it clean.
Ask Sony to support whether if it still exists.
And contact Sony and ask them what version of bits you had on that.
They say the serial number on the case.
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.
