• Reinstall windows vista is "bootmgr is missing ctrl alt delete to continue starting."

  I can go beyond that by F11, but then it gives me an error message and says Setup has been interrupted and reinstall vista.  I did this install partition and backup cd provided at the time of the purchase of the laptop.  any thoughts on how to stop the boot for vista error message will continue to install at the start.

  Thanks to you two.  It is an HP laptop and I first tried to reinstall vista wins from the partition and I got the error.  "I managed to do start to recovery and is Manager went to a command prompt to repair the boot record... but then it wouldn't start windows ' registry system contains invalid paths.  installation cannot continue.  This system image was applied without guranteeing the drive letter assignments would be through computers

  so I ran the Recovery Manager again.  got the bootmgr is missing again.  Re-entered the recovery partition manager obtained a command prompt is bootrec repair.  so started winning again.  then I got this message. "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.  Windows Setup cannot continue. to install windows, click "ok" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation '

  I did and kept getting the bootmgr is missing message crossed the routines above several times always with the same results.  then, I got copies of the recovery cd and went through the process of using them with the same results.  I contacted hp and they say they can solve this problem for a fee because the laptop is no longer under warranty.  Think that if I obtained a copy of the cd vista Home premium and I tried the recovery that would solve the problem?  or would I be better just let hp fix?

  Once again, thank you Michel and Lorien you thoughts and input.

  "so I got copies of the recovery cd and went through the process of using them with the same results.

  You say that you already have the correct recovery disks for your modal HP; and they do not work.

  Let HP to fix it.

  You can try this and if it does NOT, go with HP way to fix it.

  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

• I had to reinstall my Windows Vista and lost my MP3 files. Can I get back them?

  When a microsoft technical specialist removed a malware from my computer, I couldn't launch my Internet Explorer.   I decided to re - install Windows Vista on mine.  It only gives me the possibility of repairing the existing files. When I re-installed Windows Vista my old files were put into a file called Windows.old.  All of my music (MP3) files are on Windows.old?  Is it possible for me to get those files and put them on Windows Media Player?  And these files now contamination or damaged because of previous malware attack?

• I have a Latitude E6400 Windows Vista and lost all the sound elements. How can I get that back?

  I can't do audio on youtube or DVDs on my laptop. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Do you have any audio at all?

  You should probably download and install the latest drivers for your audio device.

  Be sure to set the compatibility to the correct version for which they were written.

  Uninstall your Audio device in Device Manager before you reinstall the drivers.

  EDIT:

  I just checked Dell, and there are three models different e6400.

  I downloaded the Win 7 Audio drivers for e6400 and found that they will probably have to be REMOVED to be able to establish the compatibility of the installer with INSTALLATION inside the packaging.

  To do this, you will need a program such as WinRar, WinZip or 7Zip. I think 7Zip has a free version.

  After installing the program, right click on your program of driver installation and EXTRACT, as you would a zip file.

  Then open the folder and double click it to install the Win 7 INSTALLATION compatibility value

• Reinstall WIndows 7 Windows Vista original

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 that I replaced a failing hard drive. I came originally with Windows Vista, but the owner did a upgrade of Windows 7.

  I reinstalled Windows Vista original, up to Service Pack 2.  I need to upgrade to Windows 7 and I don't have the disk to upgrade to Windows 7, OR activation key code. What are my options?

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
