need to reinstall Vista 64 bit HD is broken
My HD is not working. I need to reinstall Vista 64 bit PC. I tried to use the support... Help
Hello KyleConner,
If your hard drive is 'broken', replace it.
Get recovery discs to reinstall Vista from your computer manufacturer.
They do it for a small fee.
If you need just to reinstall Vista on the same hard drive, ask the manufacturer of the computer how to use their recovery process which must be copied to the hard drive.
Common methods are to press F10 or F11 etc, to start to begin the recovery process, IF the hard disk is not damaged.

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

I need to reinstall Vista on my laptop on a drive, have questions.
I have a backup disk & need to reinstall Vista. Clean up some stuff on my laptop before I do it & if sowhat to do? Thank you.
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.If the backup disk is created using any built-in utility (recovery disk), you can use the disk to restore PC to factory default state. If you intend to restore the PC using the disk, the disk may completely format the hard disk and to restore. But, you can start the recovery process from the PC, without the need to restore disc, because the PC contains a separate recovery partition. You can begin the process of recovery of the partition of hard drive also. Consult the manual of the PC user for more information. -
Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?
Hello.I have a computer with vista 32 bit pre-installed.
I made the recovery discs and I know how to use them.I created a partition D: on my computer myself.Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions? Y / NChris.Hello Chris,
Installation from recovery or a recovery partition disks ' "won't replace (wipe) the partitions that you created. The idea is to "valuing your system back to factory conditions", which means exactly that.
I suggest that you save all the information about the partitions that you created on a removable USB drive. As soon as you reinstalled windows, you can then recreate the partitions and copy the information from your removable USB hard drive hard disk internal.

I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version. Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.
To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.
Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
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 way of doing 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

Hi, I just reinstall vista 32 bit hm.prem
Hi I just reinstall vista hm prem.32 bits but my product key sticker is trashed,
When in the registry to find the product key or can I use a generator of key because when I try to update my system after install when I goto det updates from microsoft, I get "your copy of windows is counterfeit" and don't know what to do about...
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Hello
So thank you for your trust in the Microsoft community
You do not mention Vista OEM preloaded was given by the provider of your laptop or you had bought the DVD of vista... If it was preloaded so there is no such should find the product key in the registry
Suppliers provide a product key so that you had a back sticker of the laptop, it connects to the Microsoft server while activating the product,
Another way to find the product key, you need third party software which is finder keyAny search of product keys which locates the Windows vista product keys will locate the product keys for any version of Windows vista: Ultimate, business, professional, Home Premium, Home Basic edition and Starter.
Download and run the key finder program. Follow all the instructions provided by the software.

Satellite A500D - FN key does not - need tool for Vista 64-bit
Hi experts,
I would like to ask for help on the problem of my laptop.
The FN key is not working now. I tried to restart the Flash cards, but nothing happens.
I read on a few discussions that I must download the VAP and drivers section flashing utility.That is, that there is no option for vista 64 on the list. I have the European backup installation discs (CD 7 or 9?) but I do not intend to reinstall new OS.
I can not activate the button for the antenna, because it requires the combination FN + F8.Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Hello
It seems that there are only some a lot of drivers for Vista 64 bit for Satellite A500D not published on the page of the European driver Toshiba
This is why I would recommend checking the VAP (value added package) and card Support Flash Utility released for a series of Satellite A500.In fact, utility Support Flash Cards for Vista 64-bit is a 1.63.0.3C v

Will reinstall Vista 32 - bit key work for Vista 64 bit?
I have a Dell XPS running pre-installed Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and I want to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. Unfortunately, I lost my DVD of resettlement. A friend has Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Dell, and I was wondering if it would work if I reformat the partition to the OS on the hard drive and install 64 - bit instead? Also, I reinstalled 32 bit before on a previous machine and it didn't ask me the product key after the relocation. I will ask you to enter the product key if I have installed the 64-bit, and if so, the 32-bit key will work?
Hello
Yes, you can use a key of Vista 32-bit to a 64-bit Vista reinstall. The only thing to note is that the edition of the operating system should be same (what is Home Premium) in this case.
Hope this information helps.

How can I reinstall vista 64-bit o/s diskless oe?

Call the manufacturer of your computer.
Ask them a set of recovery disks. The cost should be minimal.
Make sure that tell you them the whole story, including the "torrent".
At the same time, ask them if you had a recovery partition setup on your computer.
If so, ask them to teach you how to use the recovery partition. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem. -
