Put Vista on my HP G60-125NR without disks

Recently, I buy a HP G60-125NR on eBay. The seller of the item completely erase the hard disk (even the backup drive) before sending it to the laptop without providing the boot floppies. I contacted the seller, but he of clueless and can't find the CD. I currently have Windows XP running on this issue, but I wish I had reinstalled Vista. The CD key for Vista is on the bottom of the laptop I don't know where to find a boot disk or even if the CD key works again. I want really to keep this laptop and avoid the hassle to send it back and once more looking affordable for another. Help, please.

Hello

How to get the recovery disk information here.

  • G60-125NR of the upgrade from Vista to XP Pro drivers needed

    Hello world

    Details of portable illustrated signature.

    I need to upgrade my Vista to XP Pro laptop. The HP site does not really provide any medium for XP as you can see here, it's just the quick launch buttons and the update of the HP software:

    I have the software that is running vista other than the fact that I don't just not like vista used. I managed to get pretty much everything works under XP except for 1 driver missing in the device as Manager indicated below:

    Video (VGA Compatible) controller properties > details shows PCI/VEN_10DE & DEV_0845 & SUBSYS_360A103C & REV_A2\4 & 15DBADC5 & 0 & 0058

    So what I'm looking for right now. Although it would be nice to have all the correct drrivers for this pc run XP (some of what I have work cannot be what he really need).

    What is the new slogan of HP? "Do the PC again" or something like that... lol. Well, I like mine with a side of XP and Linux would take the vista please.

    If anyone here knows what I'm looking for the driver? And if anyone knows where all the correct drivers for this laptop (apart from the one to sell them on ebay) it may be easier to post links to them now instead of having to deal with this issue later.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a G60-125NR laptop and have recently passed my OS from Vista to XP Pro SP2 32-bit.  I found the drivers for everything except the sound work.  I tried 4 different driver Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 downloads and none of them work.  I either get a device error detected no media or an incompatible error or the error "device cannot be started due to a problem he has met.  I got the driver installed successfully...

I have tried to install the drivers via a direct installation and also tried to pass by have disk option in finding drivers area. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

    In order to install your sound driver check that you had installed MS - SAU.

    You need to check the installation of MS - SAU, sometimes the installation is not complete.

    Find the icon of the yellow mark on your device manager, look inside the unit of the system.
    If you find the PCI device with the yellow mark icon, right click and choose update. It should automatically detect MS - SAU.

    After that, you can install your audio driver.

    Use the following drivers. HP post drivers Conexant SmartAudio 221 bug that had not yet been set.

  • can 2nd hand hard drive, I put vista on it?

    Hi all

    First is the hard drive (Vista) on my wifes laptop packed in so I managed to find a 2nd disc from the hand of the same type that had vista on it too, but it has been cleaned. I have the recovery for the old disk cd hard and im wondering can I put vista on the laptop with the 2nd disc of hand and work there cause it have the product key for this. Make sence?

    You can replace the hard drive of the computer and reinstall Vista. You can't have an install licensed so if the old hard drive still works, you need to remove Vista from it (if the old drive is broken it's OK).

    Insert the recovery disk, and then restart the computer and boot from the drive to start the installation process. If the computer does not start from the disc:

    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

    The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

    F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

    If your BIOS settings are correct and if you have a DVD player, when the computer restarts if there is a message "press any key to boot from the disk", you press a key on the keyboard to boot from the DVD.

  • I have a laptop Dell Latitude 0800 older with a 60 GB hard drive. Can I put Vista on it?

    I have an older Dell laptop, Latitude D800. The hard drive is 60 gig. Can I put Vista on it? How much space does Vista take?

    Hello Ralph St. Clair.

    # You can not put Vista on it and there is nothing to do with the size of the hard drive, which is acceptable according to the minimum standards of Microsoft.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/system-requirements

    And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    I'm sorry but never written/provided by Dell Vista or Windows 7 Hardware Drivers for this Latitude D800 laptop model.

    They only has written/provided pilots until and including the XP operating system

    You need the drivers to make it work properly...

  • Can I restart vista without disk?

    I lost my reboot disk and I was wondering if I could do without the disc.

    You need the recovery disk/s Reinstall Vista.

    For the replacement of recovery disk/s, contact the manufacturer of your computer.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Try to do this.

    It is not a reinstall drive

    You will have a Vista repair disc:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

  • How can I reinstall Vista without disks?

    Mr President.

    Already I had original windows product keys and have no installation CD can I use another cd and put my keys, it will work as genuine.

    Read the information below:

    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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.

  • Windows 10 has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button.

    * Original title: Windows 10

    I was on my laptop when I get that annoying pop about 10 Windows and X is turned off. Today it pops up behind what I was watching and by chance I saw because 10 Windows has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button you never try and hack my laptop without my permission. If you want to explain 10 Windows it's good.

    It is a forum for peer-to-peer volunteers public World Wide web.

    Essentially, you missed (or simply press the 'X') the message you plan / cancel the upgrade.  It is more a case of 'you don't say no... " (that does not suck).

    Learn more about that here:

    http://www.PCWorld.com/article/3073457/Windows/how-Microsofts-nasty-new-Windows-10-pop-up-tricks-you-into-upgrading.html

    Basically (with some variations) three ways to restore your computer to a previous operating system, once it has been upgraded to Windows 10...

    * Best method: restore using a full image backup of the system that you have created in your normal computer maintenance tasks.  If you do not do so during your normal maintenance, you should probably expand it once you get things in the State you want.  If you've done one, but still need help to apply it, just answer here and someone can / will surely help you.

    Possible next method: (with reservations as being less than 30 days since the upgrade, you having not done anything that would affect the three necessary directories to restore like disk cleanup or or using online media creation tool) use integrated Windows 10 to your previous operating system recoverability.  The following link will take you to a web page that explains this method pretty well and completely:
    http://www.CNET.com/how-to/Windows-10-how-to-roll-back/

    Possible next method: use your installation media/recovery media to restore the system to the factory settings and update/install other apps using their media and restore periodic backups / consistent personal and other data.  It is a CLEAN INSTALLATION (from scratch).
