Question on the recovery CD and the Vista anytime upgrade

Hello

I bought a toshiba laptop now a year ago, it came pre-installed with vista home premium.
I would like to do a complete cleaning my system as its useless been lately and isn't a fact since I bought.

It came only with - a the product recovery disc and upgrade Express windows.
But I'm worried because if I do a recovery of product I don't have the real vista disk it SHOULD have and will not have vista on my laptop or one of the files that toshiba put on it.

What should I do?
What a product recovery disc actually have on it and do? What is the Windows anytime upgrade disc?

I have been informed by microsoft and I.T. technicians everywhere that i should have a vista installation disc in the same area so the fact it came pre-installed.

Help, please

> It came only with - a the product recovery disc and upgrade Express windows.

As you say you have the product recovery disc.
This Toshiba drive contains the image of Toshiba.
The image is a package and it contains the operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools, utility and software further.

The use of the recovery CD will fix the laptop back to the factory settings.
So just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

Just for info:
The recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive, but I see that a backup is not important to you.

See you soon

    I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

    What are the limits to upgrade my laptop Satellite P10? Currently, I use 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512) and I still have the original 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive. I'm mainly interested in upgrading my hard drive to at least get a 7200 RPM 100 GB disc. Better would be one of the ones 24 hours server as Hitachi HTE721010G9AT00, I have just turned off my computer. Which one to take and are there limits (BIOS) (keeping in mind that there will be 200 and even the 250 GB drives next year)?

    RAM: should I put two 200pin SO-DIMM 333 or 533 or should not change at all as it works very well and stabil now?

    Hello

    In my eyes you should follow the guidance of Toshiba line and must use the memory modules that are recommended in the user guide. But if you can also try to test with 400 Mhz or 533 Mhz. I think that each dealer notebook or memory could do that.

    I think the BIOS might be able to handle the hard drive with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB, Bus Master IDE with ultra DMA 100 synchronous
    In my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger HARD drive.

  • Question about the vista and firewire

    Hello all, I am an editor with a camcorder Panasonic GS-120. I used to have a desktop computer running Windows 7 that I used to import my videos with. The way I used to do is simply plug my camera into the firewire port and wait for the capture/import to Windows Movie Maker window to appear. Now, I can use is more than desktop because the fried CPU. So I have to use my laptop which runs Windows Vista. My laptop also has a firewire port, but a 4 port pins and I had to buy a new cable. My cable came today, I plugged it all as I would with my office, and nothing came. I tried to go into Windows Movie Maker, then click Import, but it said that my camcorder is not recognizable or something along this line. So now I have no way to import my videos. I'm pretty sure that of not the cable because it's new I went into Device Manager and uninstalled then reinstalled the driver for the firewire port, so this isn't a problem with the port, and I'm sure that's not the problem with the port on the camcorder. So my question is, what happens? Why can't I import my videos as with Windows 7? Is it possible for me to import videos? In addition, I don't have a VCR or an S-video cable, so that the method is out of the question. Thank you all very much.

    Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. That being said...

    Your Windows Mail data will be preserved when you switch to Win7.

    Unlike Vista and Windows XP, Win7 does NOT have any default mail client. However, you can install Windows Live Mail (free) or another e-mail Client (e.g. MS Outlook, which is not free) and then import data from Windows Mail stored in your new email Client.
