Recovery disc for vista

my old hard drive broke a change ti year now I ave no file recovery

Hello

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

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.

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:

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.

  • dc5800 sff computer of office: purchase recovery disc for dc5800 sff system, model KA404UT #ABA

    I am the 2nd owner of computer and appears as former owner had installed a Dell on this HP operating system. would be OK but drive hard contains of disk errors that Windows cannot fix. Leading to intermittent shutdowns and all kinds of fluctuations to get a Win 7 upgrade disk to restart Windows. HP does not sell the RRD more. I'd be willing to pay for the discs, if someone has a set of left.

    Hello:

    Most of the dc5800 comes with Windows Vista Business or Vista Business downgraded to XP Pro, like yours, so HP has never had recovery disc for the dc5800 W7.

    https://h10057.www1.HP.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/KA404UT.htm

    You call this number (USA/Canada) to see if HP recovery Vista Business left discs?

    Demand for 64-bit because otherwise you will get 32 bits.

    1-800-334-5144

    If they do not, you can still get a set of this provider not HP - looks like only 32-bit however.

    You can call and ask if they have Vista Business 64-bit games.

  • Help! Maybe I need the recovery disc for pavilion d4790y... + I think I messed...

    I had problems with my office for awhile now, think it might be a fan, virus, hard drive or ram as in my previous post... the computer would freeze/crash or not stop, requiring a firm hard. trying to reboot/restart computer, it would beep several times until I have let it sit for a few minutes, then everything was back to normal (found that might have been an error in the BIOS after all this happened)...

    Now, I have NOT touched or replaced all the components on my computer at all. Nothing! Now I have a debate on the upgrade of OS and RAM, but did not decide whether it was worth on this older machine. So I have done no amendment or change in software. the only change I made to it was not renew norton and goes with vast (free).

    The other day, it suddenly wouldn't boot Win Vista 32 in all. My monitor at startup (before config utility appears) had colored vertical lines across the screen. I immediately thought 'virus' or ' fan isn't card graphic blown is screwed/false driver downloaded... I enter safe mode with network, no problem with the monitor (no lines) and tried driver restore, but also to download nividia the updated. Nothing seemed to work except safe mode (s), system configuration, start the Setup program, CTRL I (don't remember which menu is), & screen of the system restore/repair/diagnose. I tried all the reboot thing pilots config, patterns of change (hard disk only), boot it. When you go to the splash screen (a back screen on startup), no line either... I tried the system restore, did not a thing... I tried the verification of diagnosis, all right... all equipment, the repair of the system did nothing...

    So I take the side box power off to check the components inside to see if any wiring was loose, fans not working/salty, etc... everything OK there besides fan a little dirty. Clean, same thing. Here comes the fun part...

    Now, I backed up all my files and 'backup' on my external hard drive... I thought that I had made the recovery discs or he had came with it when I bought it... I changed the configuration settings RAID0 by removing the old installation and turned to the raid no drives. Then, I created a RAID0 again... I guess you know where this is going...

    He said now insert the boot cd... Now, it of not anything but let me in Control Panel and change the startup preferences...

    I have no recovery disk or I can't find what happened if I have... with backup (for USB) external drives will not work... I kind of looking online hp without result and I saw some online, but that seems pretty shady, especially with the case of the OS...

    I will not buy another office, if I can help it, but I need to know if there is something I can do?

    Thank you

    .

    Hello:

    Yes, I've been able to do it once, but you also need an operating system installation disk. You need a USB FDD + OS installation disc and the correct drivers of course on the floppy drive.

    You can use a recovery for this drive yet. It must be an OS installation disc.

    Yes have ultimate could be a problem. If you enter your model number on this site of surgeons in the computer, you get a lot of options showing the recovery disks for different versions of the OS, but only had listed actually drives.

    You need to call HP and ask or email these surgeons computer guys and see if they have the recovery disc for ultimate games.

  • How can I get an acer recovery disc for a system that was sold to Singapore?

    Restore ACER Aspire 5680 disc

    Hi, I have an ACER Aspire 5680 running Vista Home premium, I bought in Singapore in 2007. I currently live in the United Kingdom, but I was updating dome drivers when the system blocked.

    I tried different ways to restart, but nothing helped. SO I bought an ACER restore disk and tried also without success. When I contacted ACER support told me I have to go to Singapore for the recovery disks, because the machines are different for the different continents! In the meantime, I have re-formatted the C: drive and am stuck.

    I contacted ACER Singapore, who indicated that the computer will have to return to the ACER workshop for recovery.

    It has been e_recovery aboard, but like many so I only took no notice of the password. But the recovery discs can be produced from a similar machine.

    Is there someone (possibly in Singapore) who created a set of recovery disc for this model they are willing to sell

    Please reply or send email to * address email is removed from the privacy *

    Thank you all

    Your Windows Vista Home Premium will reach its end of life of Microsoft support in two months in any case then consider purchasing a copy retail of Windows 7 from a UK dealer instead.  That will relieve you of the connection of Singapore and make a necessary upgrade to Windows 7.  Only Vista Business will continue to get the updates and fixes security after April 14,

    You will need to download the Windows 7 drivers for your Acer model before the upgrade.

  • Recovery disc for Compaq Mini 110 c-1100DX

    Hello

    I contacted HP support several times over the past 2 years without success (a few times when I first bought this PC), so I thought I would try these forums.  I bought a Compaq Mini 110 c-1100DX with Windows XP a few years ago and wanted to create a recovery disc for it.  I followed the instructions, but I find that the typical HP, who is referenced in my manual, Recovery Manager does not exist.  HP support has confirmed this, but refuses to communicate any recovery disks support or operating system.  They said I could use the Roxio software that never worked to create or restore images.  I refuse to pay $16 for something my other HP computers 5 all allowed me to... create the factory recovery disks.  I have an external DVD burner, I have USB flash drives, and I have a desire to find a way to recover the original image.  I know that I can make an image of the disk because it is today, and I can use another software to create back ups.  I don't want to do that, I want the original image.

    Does anyone know of a place to download this image, a line of support that might be willing to send me the DVD recovery, or a way to connect with a more high level and preferably American, support staff?  I have 5 HP computers and printers HP 2, and I know the tech support/customer service line is a waste of time.  I'm good enough at the end of my rope with HP, and despite the fact that computers and printers have always been good support so so incredibly awful that I can't buy them more if I can't get this simple application is complete after 2 years of trying.  Any ready HP there at Carillon?

    For reference for anyone else having this problem (or any other issue, with the support of HP), I called 650-857-1501 (HP corporate), went to the business operator, explained my problem and the issues I had with the support of the founded India, she was very polite and transferred me to a very useful case manager named Emily and it solved the problem in 5 minutes.  I can't believe how much it was easy after suffering through hours and hours of race around the line of standard support.

  • Recovery disc for HP Mini

    I need to get or create a recovery disc for my mini HP laptop. I found them on the web site of HP for $40. Is there a way to create them or something? Sooner or later, I'm going to need to clean and reinstall. I can not really afford $40 for the installation discs.

    Is it possible to create them?

    Hi, Phillip:

    You should be able to create a set of recovery DVD using the HP Recovery Manager software, which should be in your menu "Al Programs".

    I you thankful if you could help, its a super computer

    Conduct research on how to operate the discs, just want to make sure that they contain vista

    > 1) would be reformatting my laptop fix these problems?
    Probably yes

    (> 2) 2 discs "TOSHIBA satellite p300 etc. product recovery media and said windows vista ultimate 64-bit.
    As far as I know that P300 was equipped with HARD drive recovery and Vista 32 bit was preinstalled. There should be an option that allows to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option. Press F8 when the laptop starts up. Then choose fix my computer and start HARD drive recovery.
    This should set the machine to factory settings. Finally, you can create a recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled software.

    (> 3) should I make a copy of the PRODUCT ID series vista on my system menu screen
    You can do this, but as far as I know the Vista on the Toshiba Recovery disk is already enabled and you don t need the series keys.

    (> 4) how would these discs...
    Usually you have to boot from that disk

    PS; For more details you should read the user manual and must read the discussions in this forum!

    Can u please help me.
    If I had the factory installed default windows vista, then how to create the recovery disk and can also create usb recovery drive, while I was able to boot my system with usb?

    And also if I m even have another model of machine, then I can use the recovery disk in the other machine with the same model and OS. ???
    as for now, I have two same machines toshiba Satellite L300-190 model.

    Waiting for your response.

    I think that this has been discussed much time here in the forum.

    You can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator!
    This tool must be preinstalled on your laptop if the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.

    You can also try to restore the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.
    You must press the F8 key during switching on laptop and I then have to choose the option called fix my computer. Then new window should open, and you could choose the Toshiba recovery.

    If you cannot use the two procedures (disk recovery HARD and Toshibas recovery disk) then you can order the new CD from here:
