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

  • 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?

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  • Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

    Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

    Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

  • Saving files in an image PNG, how can I stop the program to put dashes instead of spaces? I can't find files because hyphens prevent the word search.

    I can't find files because hyphens prevent the word search. It's really a lot of time to go back and change the names of all the renders that I do for web pages. I don't use dashes, when I type in the name of the file that I save. How can I get him to stop to change the names of my files?

    In the save for Web > Output Settings > saving files uncheck Unix under file name compatibility and see how it works.

  • Vista installation disc

    I purchased and downloaded the full Version of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. I need and had to perform a Setup disk for it where I can perform some hard conversations during the installation of the program. How can I make an installation disc. There must be a simple way. I have the Version of Windows professional XP install disk full, could I use some of the files on this disc?

    Bob, by what I've read that you have a version full of Vista Ultimate.

    I have not tried, because I haven't used to download vista from MS to get Vista your way.
    I don't see why it wouldn't work.

    Each DVD disc Vista you see, retail and OEM generic Microsoft, NOT DEll HP, recovery etc (including their drivers and garbage), has all versions of Vista anchored in them.

    Vista is only available in 2 discs, 32-bit and 64-bit, each contasining all versions.

    This is the product key that releases the files to install for your particular version, Ultimate.

    If borrow you a vista bootable DVD and to reinstall your product key, you would then have the options you need to put a partition.

    And you have a genuine product key to activate.

    If I'm wrong, a person will be at me!

  • 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.

    Good luck!

  • Easy Transfer Wizard error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings. The download file size is 40 GB and I have a C: drive that says he has 280 GB free and a D: drive has 298 GB free.

    I made a successful backup of the Easy Transfer of files on an external hard drive.  Previously, this computer was in Vista for more than 1 year without any problem.

    After you perform a custom installation (I wanted to start with a clean install) of Win7, everything works.  I installed the Windows/Office updates and all my other program files.  When I run the transfer Assistant, it locates the 'old computer' transfer file and reads OK, showing users and the size of the 40.1 GB file transfer.  When I click the button forward, I get error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.  However, I have more than 280 GB free on my C: drive.

  • Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

    Hello

    My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
    As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
    I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

    Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

    I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

    Any information received with gratitude

    Thank you Ron

    Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

    With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
    This would allow an advanced boot menu.
    Here you must choose repair computer

    But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

  • The missing files (NOT deleted) of the file/directory of the system drive NTFS

    Greetings!

    I have a WinXP SP3 system with a SATA 2 TB to the additional internal address as a data reader. This player has only the data (.mp3, video) files in a directory and has never been used for anything other than data files. There is only one directory for the files, and although it is four levels of subdirectories to the bottom, the tree is only these four subdirectories.

    A week ago, I noticed that the free disk space on this drive jumped from 350 GB up to 1.2 TB, leaving about 600 GB of data on the disc (about 2 500 files). After checking what is obvious (Rebreather, etc.), I noticed that the missing files were all from one file *. * to n *. * and [0-9] *. *. All files beginning with o *. * to z *. * are still there. So, essentially, Miss me about 9 000 files.

    I checked to see if the missing files could be cancelled or retrieved and downloaded several utilities 'undelete' recovery or data. All public services showed that there was no data to recover, that is, the files just disappeared or evaporated.

    Where did they go? I'm totally distraught about it.

    The files are not hidden, because the reduction of space disk; hidden files still take up the space.

    I didn't something in training in the hope of recovering the data. I thought that perhaps an index obtained corrupted or deleted because files deleted did not appear in the correct order of the directory index. I ran a chkdsk on the volume, he came to own, and the files were still missing. If the files have been deleted in alphabetical order, they would still be "deleted", recoverable files?

    I also tried to see if I could do a restoration of the system to the point in time before the files have disappeared, but my System Restore says there is nothing to not restore, no action to take.

    Any ideas appreciated.

    ....k

    R - Studio found the files missing, but only about 75% of them were really recoverable. Those who were not recovered was a length of zero byte. The advantage is that the names of the files were still intact, so at least I know which ones to re - create. The downside is that it's a few thousand files that need to be redone. That will take time, but a lot less time that I would have had to spend to recreate all missing files.

    R Studio also found entries previously deleted files, and I got these, too. However, the recovered files are damaged and unusable. Given that I didn't really need those, it wasn't a problem. I mention this simply as something that R-Studio accomplished (and the other tools do not have).

    The recovery is complete in terms of finding the missing files and restoring their readers to spare.  It took a lot of time, about three days I was doing piecemeal in bursts of 500 GB move the files recovered on spare disks. I'll move the files that I had not lost before out of the disc problem, as well, and then replace it. readers are cheap these days.   :-)

    Thanks for the help! Also, thanks for the recommendation R-Studio; This is a very useful tool and well worth the expense!

  • 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.

    Hello

    If you got this message hard disk, perform a test of it.

    If it failed, you can always replace the hard drive and reinstall Vista, instead of demolition it.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > search your computer specifications > know brand of hard drive > access the Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site > find and download hard drive Diagnostic software and make a record of start of it on the computer that you use to get here, following their instructions > test your hard drive to see if it has failed.

  • Creation of Windows Vista installation disc

    I want to know how to create a Vista 32-bit (Home premium) for an Acer Aspire 7720z installation disc. My stupid Acer laptop doesn't have any kind of disk and a partition to factory settings. I actually intend to install linux, but I want vista dual boot and the main problem is that the hard drive has no partitions. so to install linux I need to reformat the hard drive but I always feel like vista then I will need to reinstall. is it possible to create a record of the whole installation for this with all the drivers installed already? Also, I heard that it is entirely legal to have a copy of the installation. Please let me know if this is true, until I still continues. So as you can guess I'm not a recovery disk, a record of the whole installation.

    Hello

  • Full Vista installation disc

    Hello

    My MSI laptop came with only one disk recovery system, not a disc of the operating system, and if I understand well I need a disk to the operating system in order to run a virtual machine in VirtualBox.  MSI said that they do not provide them.  How can I get a?  (An iso would be perfectly good.)

    I have Vista, but I want to downgrade to XP.

    Tim

    There is no available free Vista drive download.  To get one, you have to buy a Vista product complete with its own product key (assuming you can find one - recently, I looked and could not find anything but versions OEM which are not the same a real Installation of Vista diskettes). Don't forget, your license allows a SINGLE instance of Vista to be installed at all times - even practically - you can not use the entire disk to create a second installation because your product key will not work to turn it on.

    Your best bet is to borrow a disk for Installation of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of anyone (any version will do - real discs include all versions).  Then, make a copy of the disc for you (they are not protected against copying) and if you need to install or activate, use your original product key.

    I hope this helps.

  • HOW CAN I GET A NEW COPY OF THE VISTA INSTALLATION DISC?

    SON HAS INSTALLED AN OLDER VERSION OF TEST OF WINDOWS 7 AND ITS A MESS AND I CAN'T FIND MY INSTALLATION FOR MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM DISC. ANY HELP?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    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.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making 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
