Need to transfer existing installation Vista
I've been running that Vista Ultimate mounted as a virtual guest operating system on an iMac (OS X 10.4) using Parallels v.3. I did inadvertently the system partition where Vista is located unbootable and he cannot access all. I propose to delete the file of Parallels with my installation, update to OS X 10.6 and install Vista using Boot Camp. The validation process will allow me to do?
If not, is there another way to reinstall Vista.
Thank you
Fred
You are probably using a copy of Vista retail. If this is true, there is no difficulty to remove from your virtual machine and installation of Vista you want. If automatic activation fails, because she thinks that Vista is in use on another computer, simply use the phone option and wait for a human to come on the line. Explain that Vista is installed on a computer (no matter if it's a virtual machine or the dual boot using Boot Camp) and the man will activate Windows for you.

I know there are a lot of similar problems on this forum but no one has mentioned a problem in the transfer of mail on a hard drive. I completed the following steps:
-Mail exported from Windows Mail on my computer vista laptop to a folder on the desktop
-A tried to save this folder on an external hard drive in order to import messages in Windows Live Mail on my new laptop Windows7.
Copying starts without a problem, but coming up with an error message telling me that the files will be copied without their properties. I can then choose to continue without properties or to cancel the process.
It is for as much as I got - emails are extremely important related to the work of the conversations and I desperately need to transfer! My old laptop is on its last breath and I would like the peace of mind of having saved emails before he dies on me!
Thank you very much in advance for your help

Hi - Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I have now managed to cross the emails. I continue when I got the message and it worked - I think that this has been facilitated by uncheck the 'read only' box in the properties of emails before copying.
Thank you so much for all help.

Now having need for instructions and vista software how to install etc... Thanks if you can help.
Hello
Your problem is you installed Windows 7, but do not have the product key to activate, if you want to go back to the original OS that came with your machine, namely Vista.

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

___________________________________
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

Installation of Windows 7 was able to destroy this method:
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Them or us ask the right sequence of key.
___________________________________
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.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes. If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.
If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help. Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs). A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem. And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).
I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.
Good luck!

Why do I need to import existing photos?
All my devices are in the same Apple ID, sync all of them via iCloud photo library.
Backups are via iTunes to OS X.
Recently, I made the order and again sorted my photos of OS X.
I 4920 pictures altogether.
Now I see on the Photos of OSX I need to import new photos that are already in my iPhone.
Why do I need to import existing photos? Why say that are just 4129 photos?
Pls see photo...
Thank you!
Now I see on the Photos of OSX I need to import new photos that are already in my iPhone.
Why do I need to import existing photos?
If you use iCloud photo library to keep your photo library in sync, do not import the photos again in the iPhone using a USB connection.
I suspect, you have set the settings > Photos & camera on your iPhone for iCloud photo library to 'optimize storage '.
This means that your original photos, full resolution are in iCloud and not on your iPhone at all. Only if you browse your photos or change them to share, your iPhone will download new copies of the originals to iCloud for editing. Photos on your Mac does not recognize them as duplicates, because this local copies have different file names. You could import duplicates.
Skip the Import Panel in Photos when your iPhone is connected. Don't import anything, unless you have some new photos on the iPhone, that could still download in iCloud photo Library, because the iPhone couldn't go online.
