• Windows Vista is installed on my recovery partition need help for this relocation.

  I have an acer extensa 5620, the labtob supplied with Windows Vista already installed. I ended up having to have my computer repaired because it became somehow infected by viruses a friend who I thought was well knowledged in computers, cleaned the virus or so I thought, and replaces Windows Vista with Windows XP I was not asking or giving permission for that to happen. Now, I came to know that Windows XP is not genuine a software which makes sense because I kept getting virus despite the fact that I have several systems antivirus on my computer and to make things worse, I'm sure I have a browser hijack. I tried to find a way, he made the switch to return to Vista because I liked it, but another friend told me I should stored it on my recovery partition. I don't know that much about computers if anyone can help me to find it and tell me step by step to correctly and safely to reinstall Windows Vista because I'm also fairly certain that bad software is whats allowing these viruses. Help, please!

  http://support.Acer.com/

  Contact Acer for the EXACT way to do.

  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, Acer Alt + F10 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 computer repair option

  See you soon.

• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  -Todd w.

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

• Unable to get updates of Windows after cleaning installed.

  Inspiron 1720, Win7 Ultimate x 64

  A clean installed today on a separate partition. Did not remove the existing installation of the same operating system by using the same key. The new facility will not download updates. C:\ shows many files from Windows.old. No matter what jump to anyone or is this Win10 Win10?

  PS This switch to Win7 Professional would help the situation?

  I should add that it is a slipstreamed SP1 version. I was able to get IE 11 installed without problem.

  Theres been a few problems with Windows Update with Windows 7 clean install for these last months... You can use the WSUS Offline Update Patch Windows 7, after that Windows Update works.

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/WSUS-offline-update/

  However since your goal is to make your system a Pro 10 Windows device. You better just download an .iso Windows 10 TH2 and pure install directly with your Windows 7 Ultimate product key:

• BOOTMGR is missing after trying a clean install?

  OK so I'm not very savvy computer so why I write, but I try to explain exactly what happened.

  My computer has always had problems with the installation of programs. Almost all programs will begin to install and then error pop up and say that some files were corrupt. It was interesting, because some programs would BE to install, but most would not. I think that the activation code for windows 7 was not correct. Anyway something went wrong with the installation of windows I had done a few years ago. I thought that the best way to solve this problem was to do a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. So, I found a http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/ ISO image file and downloaded as well as the ISO tool microsoft copy USB.

  Once downloaded and copied on an empty FlashDrive using the tool, I watched a few instructions on how to do clean reinstall correctly. This site is http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

  I stuck the flash drive in the computer, restarted and began the process of restarting the flash player. I got to step 11 where it says to remove the partitions on the hard disk, the two big one (650 GB in my case) and the small partition of 100 MB. So I remove both. At this point, I'm just after its not. Not too sure what I do which is probably my first mistake. (NOTE: I did one installs many own on my own laptop before without any problem).

  In any case, that's all well and dandy continues the process of configuring windows. Then I get an error message saying "windows cannot install required files. the file may be corrupted or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. error code 0 x 80070570.

  So big, it's beautiful. I leave the installation to try reformatting and copying the ISO file to my thinking flash player he doesn't copy correctly. I will go back to restart and do a boot from the USB and as soon as it is passed to that screen with the installation/startup/recovery options screen empties and says "BOOTMGR is missing press CTRL ALT DEL to restart."

  I did some research to solve this problem that brought me to this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/bootmgr-is-missing.htm guy none of the troubleshooting tips, it lists worked. Somehow I stumbled on a HP diagnostic tool in the start menu and it ran, I know that's not HP, but thought that I'll let you know what he tested the CPU and disks (both passed with a big green tick), memory (8 GB) has failed with an error of BIOME-1. A quick google search makes it seem like my sticks of memory are messy.

  I know that sounds like a lot and I don't expect an answer full proof, but I would like to know what my best route is to solve this problem. My computer is really nice with 8 GB RAM Pentium Dual - Core CPU and I really want to enjoy my photography stuff. It costs a lot of money, I bought it a few years ago.

  Thank you for anything!

  OK, so there was nothing wrong with the memory modules. I did what you said and removed a 1 each at a time and ran the test each time. He failed every time. So I ignored that for the time being.

  Instead of trying to boot from a flash drive, I burned the ISO to a DVD file and tried to boot from that. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. Apparently my computer doesn't like to boot from flash. All problems solved when booting from the DVD. The BOOTMGR message was due to the fact that my hard drive has been completely annihilated, but during the installation of windows running everything has been corrected.

  Hi Kevinhannan,

  No courses Photoshop supports this configuration.

  Photoshop CS5 is the latest version of Photoshop to support Windows Vista.

  Photoshop elements 12 was the latest version of Photoshop Elements to support Vista as well.

  We no longer offer Photoshop CS5 or 12 elements.

• Am I able to re - install vista after doing a windows 7 clean install?

  So, I bought a laptop that has Vista and bought and did a clean install of 7.

  I am building a new computer and would like to spend 7 laptop to new construction and re - install Vista on the laptop. I have everything I need at the end of 7, but all I have is the CD - Key for Vista. There is another laptop in the House running the same version of Vista (32-bit family Basic) I had initially.

  Is there a way I can create a Vista installation disc using another laptop or anything? We are even allowed to transfer Windows between computers as I want to do?

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  No letters, just a long series of numbers.

  I am running 64 bit 7 Professional if that helps at all.

  Looks like you have the Windows 7 retail license... It's big and what makes it legitimate to remove you Windows 7 off the coast of this laptop and move it toward your new system you have stated your desire was.
   
  Back up all your data.  Can use Windows Easy Transfer and an external hard drive to make sure that you have your personal settings and files the currently Windows 7 system.
   
  Download and create an installation of Windows Vista bootable DVD.  You can get help (and links to legitimate downloads) here:
  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links#
   
  You are basically these three files (for the DVD itself):
  X 14 - 63452.exe
  Boot.wim
  install.wim
   
  You can follow the directions under the heading 'create your own Vista ISO bootable image' on the link of the web start page to create an ISO image and then burn that image on a DVD.
     
  I suggest to perform a new installation using the DVD and product key you have on the sticker on the laptop that you remove Windows 7 from (for Windows Vista).  This will remove Windows 7 system (naturally).  You will need drivers for the laptop too - but that should be no problem accessing the web page of the manufacturer of the laptop.
   
  Then, you can use the product key and Windows 7 media to install Windows 7 on the new system.  Install all your software, patch, obtain the correct drivers from the manufacturer and restore your data.

• Windows 7 - clean install - missing drivers

  Hello

  I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a machine that was previously running Windows 7 Professional.  I opted for a new installation instead of an upgrade installation.  The problem I am running into is that some of my drivers are missing.  I tried to get the drivers in the folder Windows.old\Windows\inf, and it seems to find them.  However, when I try to intall the drivers I get a message saying "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when installing it...» Windows cannot find the specified file. »

  I was wondering if there was a way to get this to work, or if I should just look on the Internet and try to find the drivers.

  Another note, when I try to automatically find the drivers, I get no results.

  If it helps, my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S850 and my missing drivers are:

  • Network controller
  • SM Bus controller
  • USB Bus controllers
  • CRW - USB2.0

  Thank you

  Eric Carlton

  Technically, they are not missing. Whenever do a clean install (the best option) you always
  to install the drivers for the motherboard, dedicated graphics card (when there is one), options and peripherals such as printers and keyboards with profiling.

  Download the drivers from the motherboard of Toshiba's web site. The drivers in your list are commonly
  called the chipset drivers, because they are all functions of the chipset motherboards (Notrh bridge
  and the South Bridge).
  There was also the CPU drivers and it is Intel HD integrated graphics card. Windows does
  install a generic graphic VGA driver, but you need the Intel drivers for all of the features of the
  Integrated HD graphics card.

  While you're at it install all Windows updates. Configure the option Windows updates so it
  do not download and install automatically, so you can install them is small. There are
  less likelihood of corrupt updates if you do it this way. You should not have more option
  updates.

  Also update DirectX-

• T400 Windows 7 or Vista clean install - cannot detect hard drive

  I tried to install Windows Vista x 64 and Windows 7 x 64 using copies of two OS on my T400 retail. No operating system can find the hard disk during the installation process. I downloaded all the possible drivers of Lenovo and load them via USB for installation, with absolutely no luck. I installed Ubuntu until we have a usable computer, but I really need Win7 there, so I understand that. All solutions? (and tell me to go download the driver isn't going to help me). Also, I have messed around with the setting AHCI in the BIOS, but that did not help either.

  I thought about it. For some reason, I had to delete all partitions on the disk and create a single NTFS partition (using gParted), and then he appeared. I had not yet install a driver during Setup (BIOS was set to the compatibility mode).

  I've never seen this before on the wide variety of machines to dual boot, I've built in the past. Well well, at least its working now.
