R61-Vista/XP disks?
My beautiful R61 came with Vista business, but I used the CD to downgrade to Windows XP instead. Now, I changed my mind and want to reinstall Vista on the machine.
But it seems that the boot drive only is the XP - and boot into the rescue & recovery and choosing reinstall only to put XP on the machine. I have somehow changed the images of R & R facility?
And then I somehow get back my Vista?
Thank you
Have you used the Rescue and Recovery utility to make a set of recovery Vista CD before you have installed XP?
If not, then no, you get Vista back short to get a set of recovery Vista CD of Lenovo.

Portege R600 Vista Recovery disk
Hello world
Is a possible way to recovery vista recover disk from toshiba?
I have the recovery disk xp that comes with my toshiba r600, but is there a way to get the toshiba vista recovery disk? Download? or something?
I didn't create drive recovery with vista... so is he lost? I do not really need vista OS but just in case, is it possible to recover it?Thank you.
Hello
What OS came preinstalled on your Portege R600?
Was it Vista?If so there should be an option that allows you to create a recovery disk.
You can use the preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk which is able to create the recovery disk.But if you have already formatted the HARD drive then you will not be able to create this disc of recovery :(
In this case, you should check this page:

Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option
Back to school for 4 children with laptops is a pain, he seems to be constantly before wipe them and their establishment again.
Any ideas why the Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HARD drive recovery option?
I made a USB key and copied all the files from a backup of the Recvery drive to it. The USB displays the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option but calls for the disks and will not run the recovery of the USB itself. It's annoying, but at least I can still use it to recover the machine.
I would like to be
the problem with discs
or
get the USB key to retrieve by using its own files instead of asking for the disks. Vista was not created with the option to recover from USB, so maybe I can't.
HARD drive recovery option appears not in the advanced boot menu if something has been changed or modified on the HARD disk and the flag was removed.
For example, this may be the case if the partition has been changed, modified or if HARD drive recovery files or folder has been changed, moved, or deleted.In case you want to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings, you must use the recovery disk

Neosmart of VISTA recovery disk
Tried to use it to start Vista to allow me to join the office so I can either do a system restore or format and reinstall Vista. Have Acer Aspire M1100 which is formatted by the departure of John. Booted from the recovery disk, choose repair your computer, it searches the operating system and finds Vista. He then seek out problems and then asks if you want to do a system restore, choose YES, but then it goes back to the repair attempt going on and so on and gets me nowhere. Please can someone tell me where I'm wrong if I understand correctly that this disc has obtained a large number of people out of trouble. Thank you
NeoSmart is NOT a relocation of the disc.
It will attempt to repair your boot files of the system, not the files of your operating system.
If it will not get Vista running, you need to reinstall Vista.
http://www.Acer.com/worldwide/support/index.htm
Contact Acer on how to use the recovery Partition, or ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disk.
You can try pressing Alt + F10 to see if that will start the process of recovery from the factory.See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

You can also 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.

Hello
I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.
You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.
And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?
Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

Windows vista recovery disk.
My hard drive crashed recently. Fearing the worst, I bought a new drive hard by I am unable to find my recovery disk. I always have my validation code. I got my computer to reboot, but I don't want to take any chances with the old hard drive. Is it possible that I can do a windows recovery disc, so I can run on the new drive before he decides to hang again. Also, I contacted the manufacturer and they said they no longer offer the vista recovery disks.
Standard support vof vista is complete. You may be able to get a dvd of Vista but if vista came pre-installed you will need to find an OEM copy. I doubt you'll find one. Might want to try eBay (but make sure that it is legitimate)
If you can't find one that maybe this is the time for you to upgrade to win 7.

My mother had crashed so, naturally, I replaced it with a much better and bigger processor, but now it will not except my Vista OS disk because it is a high quality disc. My question can get just the windows upgrade version 7, or do I have to get the full version?
You have to buy a complete new installation of Windows 7.
Upgrade version of Windows 7 is good to upgrade a previous version installed and activated Windows.
