Recovery without disks manually off during Windows Update (well after the finished download) - Vista Home Premium SP2
Hello
I have an Acer with Vista SP2. It has no boot and auto repair after that I stupidly shut the computer manually during a Windows Update.
I fell asleep and woke up two hours after the start of the update of Windows. Then without thinking, I did a manual stop without recognizing the update restart message. Now Windows does not start, and the auto repair / recovery options have failed three times. Initially he gave me a (?) CMOS settings have changed the error so I went into Setup (with the delete key) and note the date / time has been reset to the date of manufacture of the computer, do not change that. I have however system virus detection function then it off after that repair failed the first time.
I bought a second hand computer and I have no original discs and I can't find a manually created recovery disc I thought I made some time ago. The label of Windows with Windows Vista Home Premium product key is on the computer. I have access to a Windows 7 CD since another cmputer if this can help me.
I sent thisquestion from another computer.
Your help would be much appreciated.

Windows update on dell 1521 laptop with vista home premium SP1
Cannot download any modification, with the exception of windows defender updates. download progress meter shows 0% all the time and it cannot install updates. last updates have been made is 12/08. I have auto update turned off and I do it manually updates. I get an Error 8007000 b, but nothing on your microsoft site helps me with this error message. I use this SUITE for anti-virus, spam, spyware protection and there a fire wall which I tried to turn it off, but it does not matter still can not download updates. Please help, I am running out of options to try. I also checked on installed updates and nothing in this list on computer is required/recommended updates on windows update, when I do the search.
Hi tdigiannurio,
Thanks for posting your questions to answers.microsoft.com
Here is some information that should help you with this error.
If you receive the 8007000 b error when you try to install Windows Vista updates, the Windows file system transaction log is damaged. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. To correct this error of update, you clear the log. Here's how:
To clear the file system transaction log 1. Click the Start button. In the Search box, type command prompt, and then, in the list of results, right-click command promptand then click run as administrator.
2. In the command prompt window, type fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\. (This assumes that C: is the drive on which Windows Vista is installed. If Windows is installed on another drive, change the drive accordingly letter.)
3. Restart your computer.
4. Download and install the update again.
If the problem persists after you follow the steps above, go to the Center of Support Windows Update website to try to find more information about the error code or to request support by e mail.
Let us know if it helps to address the known issue or if additional assistance is needed.
Kind regards

My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly. In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
Can someone help me please?
Best regards
JohnBesides what abdelhak says:
The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.
Hope this helps,
Thank you! Ryan Thieman

I have a Dell xps 420 desktop computer microsoft vista home preimum sp2 and want to upgrade to windows 7. Go online to shop for the best disc and or the price for this upgrade is very confusing to me to say. I want just the version of windows 7 home preimum, but I see the price for these discs from $80.00 up to $ 300.00 million. I'm sure that they are not the same discs or there was not this price differential.
I don't care if I get the cd/dvd or a download version, but I don't want any version which requires me to do a custome update as I do not know how to save all my programs and data re - install later. I think I should be able to upgrade for less than $ $100,00.
Can someone help this old man (81)? Thank you, Bob s.
There is no electronic download for Windows 7 and Microsoft have removed most of the editions of sale general retail.
Your only real option is an upgrade kit. All that would require a custom installation deletes all.
Dell do not list Windows 7 drivers for this system.
It would be risky to try something as important as an upgrade of the operating system without a backup and the means necessary to reinstall your system if you wish, how would recover you your data and programs if the computer has failed?

How to: fix Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
I don't have a CD or DVD containing the operating system I use now. I DO NOT WANT TO REINSTALL or RECOVER the operating system. I would lose a lot of valuable information.
I would be sincerely grateful to find a 'repair' for this operating system. Microsoft offers a service to REPAIR an existing installation of Vista Home Premium?
Jeff
Hello
Microsoft does not include disks for OEM preinstalled computers, Acer, HP, brands etc.
a repair install is performed from a vista operating system
you will need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
read the below tutorial on how to perform a repair installation
and note the part about uninstalling Service Packs, if necessary
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
And if you need to do a startup repair and that you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, read this:
the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
Here's how to use startup repair system restore command prompt, etc. to bleepingcomputers link below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start
It would be F2 or delete etc to enter the BIOS or F12 etc. for the start menu
Change boot order it do dvd drive 1st in the boot order
http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/change-boot-order-XP-Vista/
If you ever reinstall Vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

IM now running Vista Home Premium 32. I would like to change the system for Vista Ultimate 64 so I can run more than 4 GB of memory. Now Ive some factory settings if something happened, I can run my HARD drive restore. My question is how to change the Vista 64 operating system, so I can keep the recovery on my hard drive partition? Mayby there is some kind of upgrade cd?

32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade
It must be done with a clean installation using a full version ' / Ultimate 64 bit license
Contact the manufacturer of your computer for more information on getting 64-bit ultimate, which I doubt they will always
and microsoft sells more vista
they moved on windows 7
and you are supposed to make this partition recovery disks to reinstall vista

A hard time with the drivers for Vista Home Premium computer laptop computer network with Windows 7
OK, I've read tons of information on that and I'm stumped. I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 all-in-one printer. I have my Windows vista Home premium networking with my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. I go to the step where the machine Vista attempts to connect to the printer on the network, then it asks a driver. The driver file is already on the vista machine. I installed the latest drivers from Microsoft and epson on the Windows 7 machine and he always asks a driver. Can someone point me to the exact file name and the location of the driver in the vista vista machine so I can simply copy and point to it my windows machine 7. I did the updates from Microsoft to get all the latest drivers. Thank you.
You do not install the Vista drivers on Windows 7 computer.
