• Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

  I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

  Hi Allisonerik,

  (1) what happens when you try to restore?

  (2) you get an error message?

  (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

  I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

  Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

  Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

• New installation of Vista service pack 1... will not restart

  Helping a friend clean an old computer.  said it ws no problem.  Laptop filled with viruses.  I cleaned then say that Service Pak 1 necessary to download.  I did it and now the laptop does not restart

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• New installation of Vista on Satellite A100

  Hello

  I just want to know how to install a clean OS (Vista) on my laptop. Can I use the disk at any time to upgrade?
  What problems are possible?

  Concerning
  Rambo

  Hello!

  Of course, you can take the drive at any time to upgrade to Microsoft because I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
  Isn t it then? ;)

  Only, you must boot from the disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
  After that, you must download and install all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  At the end I can say s the same as the recovery disk but the recovery disk saves time because all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

  Good bye

• Satellite L755 - 16L - new installation Win7 without recovery option

  Hello...

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L755 - 16L.
  I want to re - install windows 7, but recovery option will erase everything... I don t want to use it, I saw a key at the bottom of the laptop for win 7, saying it is oa mea?

  So is there a way that I could do without clear all.

  Hello

  Please visit http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  You will find all the HARD drive recovery facility information and accurate information which will be deleted exactly (see Note).

  Product key down means that you bought laptop with preinstalled OS and valid license. This key belongs to the version of the OS preinstalled. Don t think you can use it for the activation of the operating system if you try to install the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.

  > So is there a way that I could do without clear all.
  I put t know what do you mean under everything.
  If you want to have own pre-installed OS still best option for you is to back up all important data on external device and after installing the OS, you can copy it to computer s portable HARD drive.

• How big a new installation of Vista can be?

  Hello!
   
  I got vista home preimum since a few years ago, I bought the computer. My C drive at that time had been 33 GB and I got loads of programs installed including the images and music and so on. After all these years, the hard drive kept filling so I plan to do a new install.
   
  This time, I made a partition more than 55 GB to the C drive. After a clean install of windows SP1 and SP2, it takes a huge 33 GB.  I wonder how is this possible and what should I do to clean space as I still install to another required softwar. Most important question yet, that is, is it possible for windows vista be as large as that?

• Help! Installation of HP Vista recovery disks to a new HARD disk

  I found the same problem in this forum and several others online, but have not been able to find one with a solution!

  I have a HP Pavilion Notebook DV6633US

  It has a 120 GB of HDD with Vista Home Premium

  I created recovery discs when I got to the computer

  Last week, crashed HARD drive.

  I bought a new Western Digital HARD drive (the original in the laptop was a Seagate)

  The Western Digital graphic shows the compatibility with my laptop specifically

  I upgraded from the 120 GB to 160 GB

  I tried to run my recovery disks

  It installs the necessary boot files, runs the Windows progress bar and then goes to a blue screen with an operable mouse cursor and an error message that says:

  "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

  The laptop is out of warranty at this stage.

  I contacted Technical Support HP in 2 ways and got 2 different answers. I don't know who to believe and do not want to take the time or spend the money on ordering the wrong solution.

  Technology through the Online Chat support says:

  My recovery disks have "gone wrong", and I need to order new HP.

  They insist that will not solve the problem, but I have read in several places online is not the solution

  Technology through support email wrote:

  If I buy a hard drive through a third party, no HP recovery disk will work and I need to buy a new installation of Vista (obviously expensive);

  Just bought HP hard drive works, it comes with its own recovery disks. The recovery disks have a tatoo/signature for specific hardware.

  The HARD drive I bought was reduced to $40. The HP HARD drive is $ 130.

  A ride more. If the HARD drive has a tatoo/signature on my initial, recovery discs - it true for other components?

  While it was still under warranty, I got a CD/DVD defective drive replaced, also a defective mother replaced, and I added the additional RAM.

  I saw several other posts with the same question and a number or suggestions are displayed, but it seems that they never send once they have found a solution that worked.

  Before I bite the bullet and spend the $130 on their HARD drive I want to be sure that will work, and if there is a way I can make it work with the HARD drive that I have bought, I would of course like to do.

  Here, any help would be greatly appreciated!

  SOLVED!

  The recovery discs HP factory arrived today and they work... It installs my original factory image as I type!

  It's been almost 2 weeks to get this figured out, but it does not work... so if my omitted self-created recovery discs can be used on a new HARD drive, the factory recovery disks succeeded.

  I just wanted you to know everything for the next person can find the solution that actually worked.

  Thanks for the help and comments!
