• Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

  My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

  I have a "dv4-3029tx' and I installed Windows 8, wiping existing partitions of the drive (it will my recovery), and it would not start due to no available video driver.

  I want to install Windows 7 from a genuine copy of Windows, no disc HP (that I have not and dat bloatware), but whenever I try, I get "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing".

• Download on the Microsoft site for Windows 7 installation disc.

  As a first step please check the product key. I typed in the figure of 25 key product exactly as described on the Microsoft Certificate, attached to my office when I bought it new. The o/s was preinstalled by the manufacturer Fujitsu-Siemens.

  Microsoft will not check my product key stating "it is not supported or my version is wrong. It's ridiculous, my windows is already active and running for many years in Vista with a certified product ID. In addition I received regular updates of Microsoft windows.

  So, how can I fix this nonsense to complete the installation disc?

  Unless you have already tested the compatibility of your computer with Windows 7: -.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

  Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

  In addition to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you may want to run an equivalent for Windows 10.  Unfortunately, you will have to use a substitute because Windows 10 pre-staged at level [GWX] cannot run on XP so I guess it cannot work on Vista.  So, to launch the wizard to upgrade Windows 8 instead which doesn't work on Vista.  Windows 10 system requirements and Windows 8 system requirements are pretty much the same if the results will be useful.  The first versions of the system requirements of Windows 10 has also stated that the processor (CPU) must support SSE2, NX, EAP extensions, but I have never established if my CPU reaches this spec [I just know that it works fine] and I have absolutely no idea if this part of the obligation has become irrelevant or is simply omitted for brevity.

  It is worth to run the Upgrade Advisor, even if you have already decided to go and install the new OS.  At the very least they would warn you of the hardware components you need to pay attention to.  Later, you can get better drivers installing the OS gives you - where to find the hardware drivers.

  I realize that you do backups of all of your own files, files of installation of any applications that you downloaded and product keys for all your applications.

  I realize that you will also do an image of the system so that you can go back to square one if everything goes wrong.  You must also make sure that you have both made & tested the hot spare / boot disk required by your utility Imaging System.  Macrium Reflect is an imaging Center free I've seen many people recommend.

  If you have a factory restore utility then you might find that your computer manufacturer has also provided a way to backup who until USB so that you can run the procedure to boot from USB, although the attempt to upgrade preventing your computer from starting.

  I'm not trying to say he'll be all this trouble, just that it will be worth the effort to prepare for this eventuality.

• No disk Vista installation - bad/missing file on reboot prevents the go mode without installation disc required

  Is it possible to get an installation disk of Vista download image/content.  I have a valid code of MS for Vista, but there was no installation disc provided with the computer at the time of purchase (without recovery disc either).  An installation disc is required to restart the computer to restore startup files that have been corrupted or damaged in case of overheating of the CPU.

  If Windows Vista was preinstalled on your computer, contact your computer manufacturer and ask a Setup for your model disk. Boulder computer Maven

• Help! Boot Camp will not read my Windows 7 installation disc

  I need to repartition the hard drive on my Mac for Windows to give more space. I thought it would be simple but not.

  I am running OSX and using Boot Camp 4.0.1.  I made an image of my Windows side, saved the side Mac and was able to remove my original windows partition. Now, I'm trying to use create the new partition and install Windows 7 from the disc, I bought two or three years.  It does not create the partition because "the installation disc is not found." This drive worked perfectly the last time and was intact, sitting in its case, then there is no reason to be damaged. My player plays other discs.

  I missed a step somewhere? Do I need a new disk of Windows? I don't know how to replace my drive. I think that I bought on Amazon.  The ISO-image-on-a-USB option is not available. I'm stuck!

  If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.  I bought my son a video game for his birthday which works only on Windows.  The thing is HUGE. It not was not in these games when I did the initial installation or I would have allocated a lot more space.  I had no idea!  He was eager to try this new game.

  Thank you

• Windows vista installation disc does not start.

  So I decided to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of windows vista. It was working fine until after you have installed sp1. I restarted the computer, and there's just a black screen. I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

  When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

• Windows Vista installation disc: Black screen with a cursor and then nothing happens

  A blue screen appears when I try to start Windows and I'm trying to fix the computer through my installation disc I have. But when I try to run my Vista disk installation happening by loading the files fine. It then shows a black screen with a mouse cursor that moves. After that, nothing happens even if I leave it for hours to sit. It is a real disk Installation of Microsoft for Vista.

  If a clean installation of a real Installation of Vista disc does not work, then you probably have some kind of hardware problem (and the blue screen, you got before makes this even more likely).  You can try to do some troubleshooting on your own hardware, but frankly you probably put "t have tools or spare parts to do very much.  Here are some instructions that may help:http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

  If this does not work, then I suggest that you take it to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service where they can troubleshoot, diagnose, identify and possibly repair or replace the problem.  Before you import it in, I suggest that you protect your important data, as it is likely that they will wipe the hard drive clean in the process.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should hopefully give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, slave the drive to another computer and copy the data in this way.

  I'm sorry, we can not help more, but from your description there is no option of software if you do not have to do a clean install of an Installation of Vista genuine disc.

  I hope this helps.

• When to remove the Windows 7 installation disc during installation

  Hello;

  I read the response on the withdrawal of the installation disc. "After the first restart, change the settings to boot from the hard drive.

  Exactly where the first reboot happens so I can see for this? For example. After the installation of windows files.

  After developing the windows files.

  After installing the updates. I tried 4 times with a facility clean and every time, because it is always start from the disc, windows loops in the installation all over again.

  Than you

  Phil

  

  Wait while Windows installs

  

  When this phase of installation is completed, Windows will restart automatically and restart in Setup again. You can unplug it at this stage.
