• VISTA UNINSTALLED XP INSTALLED NEED TO REINSTALL VISTA, BUT NO HELP CD? __

  HOW CAN I REINSTALL VISTA AFTER IT HAS BEEN UNINSTALLED FROM MY LAPTOP AND XP INSTALLED VISTA INSTALLATION CD IS MISSING

  If your Vista installation CD missing, I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your laptop and see if they will send you a replacement CD. Otherwise, your choice is to buy a new package of Vista/Win 7, or keep the XP installation.

• Need to reinstall Vista, but the DvD player does not work

  Alright. That is the problem. I installed windows 7 on my laptop because a virus crashed my windows vista and the lost disk. After installing windows 7 my dvd player wouldn't even appear or open. As there is no power going to it. Before installing 7 worked well. I want to downgrade back to windows vista. I had an iso, mounted police and when installed would not let me because the car is not active or something. Went to disk management in the config of the admin and active player. That I reset. When starting it stops saying BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl alt del to restart. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

  Here's how to clean install Vista:

  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

• 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?

  Check with your system manufacturer support as they may have understood, Partitions recovery Vista DVD, and/or

• Need to reinstall Vista, but the key is missing

  I have a machine with vista on this corrupt and must be reinstalled unfortunately 4 letters press have rubbed, what can I do about it?

  Thank you
  Jack

  If you have the installation disc of recovery of Vista you don't need to enter anything. Recovery image should not be enabled.

  If you use the Microsoft installation disk, this product key is useless. It belongs to the recovery image and cannot be used for activation of the product if you use clean install of the OS.

• 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.

• Want to move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Original title: Vista 32-bit to 64-bit without disc.

  Hi all

  First post and not very technical minded (although not completely clueless) so go easy.

  In short, I want to upgrade 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Long story, I have a dell latitude e4300 with professional vista installed on it. I bought the laptop from a company who buys wipes of the company and sells them on. When I bought the laptop it is everything I had... the laptop, manuals, disks etc. I want to increase the memory on the laptop 6 GB but have read that I need 64 bit vista to take advantage of this.

  So, how can I do this with only the product code for windows? or is this even possible?

  Thank you very much

  John

  "Can I move a version 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?

  N ° if you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version. »

  Re. :

  Also:

  "Windows Vista Compatibility Center is no longer available"

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  and,

  See why upgrade to Windows 7 makes sense

  However, and my dilemma who found your post, amounts to:

  1. If you head to 64-bit (a number somewhere North of 1.844 E19 one approach the number of electrons in a Coulomb for free!) AND you don't have a product key, why not make the leap to 8.1 Windows 64-bit? and,
  2. It should be first of ALL to ensure that your "32-bit" software will run in a 64 bit environment especially make sure that your printer has a compatible driver update.

  PS Your interest to think "upward" is necessary and laudable.  Your question is carefully constructed.  It has never been my experience to find the answers except kind, helpful and generous in the community Microsoft.  Similarly, it is called the 'social media' or 'public access' sites (YouTube, for example) where the landscape is littered with fecal printing.

• 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.
