• Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

  This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

  I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

  Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

  Help, please.

  «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

  A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

  There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

  Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

  Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

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

  If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

  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

  If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

• problems reinstalling Vista, error code 0 x 80070017

  Hi help someone can help you. I'm selling my pc and wiped the hard drive by using the drive to kill her. The problem is now when I try to reinstall, I get the error message - windows cannot install required files. The file is corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0 x 80070017

  Please can someone help?

  Hello

  You don't say how you try to reinstall the operating system.

  It's the opinion of their website on relocation:

  I'll be able to use my drive HARD after Active @ KillDisk erase operation?

  In order to use the HDD again you must:

  • repartition the HARD drive using standard utility like FDISK
  • reformat the hard disk using the standard utility like FORMAT
  • Reinstall the operating system using bootable CD-ROM or USB / floppy

• reinstalling Vista... error message

  I had a drive failure drive if I had to replace my hard drive on my laptop.  (Dell Inspiron)  After a long search I found a full install of Windows XP pro version.  My original Setup is Vista.  After installation, I realized that I had no drivers and that it cannot go beyond a game on the computer.  After having looked further, I found my full Vista installation software but trying to reinstall Vista, I get the following message: the partition C system has insufficient free space.  Windows installation needs at least 457 MB of space on that partition to install Windows.  Sufficient free space, and then restart the installation.  Error code 0 X 80070070.  I did the bios thing, but it doesn't always start the software.  Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

• Problems with programs that seek to reinstall vista-fresh start

  Hi, I have big problems with vista next to some of my prgrams that worked in the past have stopped working together, I tried to uninstall and reinstal them. I tried to perform a system restore, and it does not work so I can't do a system restore. Ideally I am looking for reinstall fresh vista but the problem lies in the fact that I have no instalation disk, it has not been provided with my computer and now out of warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The information below should help you:

  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

• Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

  Cannot install external CD drive Vista
  Options
  ? 15/03/2013 15:03

  My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
  Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
  It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
  Not now, however.
  So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
  Which has resulted in these messages:
  http://wikisend.com/download/996858/20130313_160410.jpg
  and:
  http://wikisend.com/download/363738/20130313_171457.jpg

  Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402V30000R01NL.htm

  Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
  I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

  All solutions?

  In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
  Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

  The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

  In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
  Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

  Hello

  Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
  To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

  Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
  Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
  Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  Maybe it would work

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

• Should I reinstall Vista Home Premium?

  My problem started when I downloaded a few new files for a game, I run on my Vista Home Premium.  The game is Left 4 Dead 2, I've been looking for a good map editor for game cards included with the game, and in my research on the web, I found a few new cards that are in zip (compressed) format, and after reading the instructions I have to use my 'open with... " command through Vista and the value of Left 4 Dead 2 as well as the program to open these files with..., now on my system, I have a lot of space (500 GB HDD with about 75% of free space), I have a quad-processor, 2.40 GHz Pentium 4, 4 GB of RAM.  Now for the problem; When I select Left 4 Dead 2 as the program to use in the "Open with...» " window and click OK, nothing happens, Left 4 Dead 2 does not appear in the"Open with... " list of programs and it happens with all types of file/program type on my system.  So I ask, can I reinstall Vista once more?  It has been replaced once before, and honestly, I didn't like the process of resettlement.

  Resettlement took my old Windows subfolder and placed in another directory on the operating system reinstalled.  I can see why he does it, but honestly, it's a royal pain in the neck to find out what to do with the new directory, I ended up just removing all together.  So I ask you, should I reinstall or not to solve this problem with 'open with...

• HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reinstall Vista premium edition

  I have a new computer, clean my registry, and something has been deleted which was not supposed to.    Now, my computer accepts no updates at all. aid coulum says I need to reinstall windows vista premium to fix. Pretty simple.  problem is when I got my new PC out of the box, vista is already installed and the product key is on the side of my Tower. There is no disk that I can remember, and now I'm naïve what to do.    I really want to spend another $ 150, I don't have, something that I wouldn't really need. Is it possible to reinstall vista online if I can prove it is mine and noone elses?         Help, please!

  Most new computers come with a version of Vista recovery on a partition of your hard drive.

  You need to read the documentation that came with your computer to find out how to start the recovery.

  Normally you have to press a button or two while the computer starts up, then ask if you want to restore the computer to factory settings.

  Note If you do this will delete EVERYTHING on your hard drive (just what you put on the computer SINCE you bought it).

  If this is not available contact the company you purchased the computer turned off and ask them for a set of recorvery CD / DVD.

  One last thing.

  DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

  In fact

  DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY. FULL STOP.

  Hello

  Why don't borrow you Microsoft Vista DVD your companion to reinstall on your machine, IF it's a Microsoft DVD, not a DELL, HP, DVD etc.

  It's a legal way to do it.

  You can borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
