Reinstall Vista, Vista SP2, Vista MS04-012, MS 03-026

I tried to fix computer Dell laptop my friends with Vista.  It would be automatically shut down and restart.  Finally, the only solution was to do a complete reinstall.

I tried to do but kept said that wanted me this little file 10 KB.  I contacted Dell and they said that it was no problem, send $30... and they send the disc.  I asked if she could give me just the file.  No question!

I finally found an old Vista drive from another processor.  As I thought that everything was done and finally reconnected to the internet, the same problem was there.

You need the good manufacturers recovery disk, or a DVD of Microsoft Vista to reinstall Vista.

You cannot use an Acer, HP, etc. On a Dell recovery disk.

Dell recovery options:

And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

  • Reinstall Vista, impact on HP Pavilion webcam

    Starts here in the forum Vista, I can move to a forum of material on the line (you'll see why).  My question is so about the approach of my system of resettlement/reconstruction, so let me explain how I got there where I am currently.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV2660se under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) SP2.  I bought it 2 years but recently I tried to use the integrated webcam.  Regardless of the different applications, I've tried, none recognized the webcam, or they thought that it was already in use.  In the process of troubleshooting, I visited the HP support site and tried various steps proposed it.  In the middle of everything, I suddenly started getting a 'blue screen '.  After I did not know it was not a hard drive problem (even had a 3rd party test it under an extended warranty), the conclusion was that the BONE was damaged and I had to do a full restore.

    I did the recovery using the recovery disks that I created when I first bought the PC.  Then I went through Windows Update to install the various necessary updates.  After the first round of about 100, there were a few updates which "failed", and it was to keep SP1 update automatically.  Since SP1 is required to load SP2, I have put mannualy updated for SP1 by downloading the full update from the Microsoft support site.  I left and then Windows Update go through its various updates.  But, because there were still a few updates failed showing, SP2 is not automatically updated, so I've manually updated to SP2.  And once again that Windows Update to install updates that are required as a result of SP2.

    And well, I just checked, and the webcam worked!  But I had a few problems with other things, and I ran a diagnostic said I had a few carrupted files (sorry, no longer have the detail that I experienced so many things...).

    So, I thought what the heck, I'll recharge the system again.  But this time, after I did the initial installation using my recovery discs, I went straight to the full load of SP1, then to the full load of SP2, then let Windows Update install future updates.

    And, Lo and behold, the webcam again did not work!  And I got another blue screen.  But this time with the blue screen, Windows automatically determined to restart that a pilot was missing and it took me the Intel site for it to install.  I have not had another blue screen again... yet.

    So, at this point, my question is...  Is the second way, I rebooted the system valid?  And is there any ideas as to why this would have an impact on the functioning of my webcam?  I checked, and the webcam driver was the same in both scenarios.

    Right now, I'm just trying to determine if I need to go through another rebuilding...  I get a lot of practice...

    Thanks in advance!

    There's nothing wrong with the way in which you reinstalled Vista.

    After installation > go to the HP Web site > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    It seems to be a driver problem you are having with the material of HP.

    It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  • Reinstall Vista after hard drive failure

    My hard drive crashed and another was installed by a tech where I took the laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.  The tech installed Vista Home premium on my computer, but it wasn't my reinstallation DVD, I had Dell when I buy the system.  I need to reinstall Vista using my DVD.  Questions: 1 - do reinstall it without losing my existing data?  How do I know if the reinstallation DVD contains Service Pack 2?  The version of the technology used included SP2.  I guess it would be a problem if the DVD of resettlement was not SP2.  Thank you

    It depends on how long you had your Dell notebook about what SP you have and what Dell which you are provided.

  • Satellite A215 - Fn button are no longer available after reinstalling Vista

    Hi all, not.

    I recently reinstalled Vista on my laptop and I noticed that the function key options are no longer available for brightness settings, lock computer and tastes. If anyone has a direct link to the drivers for that would be great, I thought that I had all of the visit by Toshiba but apparently not.

    In addition, scrolling does not work on my touchpad. I downloaded the latest synaptics drivers and installed and nothing helps... Any help on that would be appreciated also.

    I cehcked mouse options and those who appear to be good. There no options in the Panel "touchpad" however... maybe something there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The A215 is a laptop to US. I know that because of the 5 with the and of the model if you use the page of the Toshiba driver Vista us to get the right drivers.

    In any case the FN keys are controlled by Toshiba Flashcards Utility. This sis tool part of the Vista Toshiba value added package and I think that you need to reinstall this tool.
    I put t know why you touchpad scroll function does not work as it should perhaps settings are active or something like

    I have an A210. It s European model and equivalent to A215
    I can change the settings of the touchpad here:
    Control Panel-> mouse-> last tab (settings of the device?  :|)-> settings button

  • Satellite Pro A200 - is possible that I can reinstall Vista?

    Hello

    I bought an A200 a couple of years pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.

    Recently, I caught a virus and had to re - install windows I've tried in vain the recovery disc I made of the Toshiba Recovery program. After several attempts I decided to install Ubuntu 9.1 instead, I was happy with, however certain features, as the no sound via HDMI, did not work then I would reinstall Vista.

    In my view, that for pre-installed Vista installation files are on a partition somewhere on my A200.
    Is there a way I can re - install Vista?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can only use the Toshiba Recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista.
    I presume that drive HARD recovery was not available for this model of laptop, but even if it is available, you wouldn't be able to start because you have installed Linux

    So you have just two solutions mentioned; disk recovery or MS Vista.

  • Satellite A300 - after reinstalling Vista touchpad and FN doesn't

    Hello

    I reinstalled Vista Home Premium (before removing the old, I saved "Toshiba" folder with the drivers) and now the touchpad does not work + FN key does not work.

    Should which driver I install and where?
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    Normally it is not necessary to install a driver for the touchpad because s he s always activated, but you can do this also with FN + F9.

    However, you should try to install the Toshiba Value added package. This is necessary for the FN keys and on the Toshiba site, you can also find the touchpad driver. Check it!

  • Equium A-200 - reinstall Vista deleted my partition

    I got an A-200 for one year or until now Equium and finally she needed to reinstall Vista. He was originally an 80 gig HARD drive partitioned into two drives (same size, I think remember me). I took the plunge, as I had already done on my old XP laptop on countless occasions and installed the recovery disc. I followed the instructions on the screen, which seemed amounted to not more 'Recover Windows' Attention "this will erase your drive", once again, as with my old laptop XP.

    Imagine my surprise, then, after installation, to discover what the score has disappeared and all my saved data. Now, all I have is a disk hard fat 80gig, as opposed to 2 40gig drives and no data.

    Now, it is quite possible that I missed something when you use the recovery disk. But I am sure that there is no obvious warning that Vista would erase all partitions.

    Can you tell me if I missed something in the installation process, or if it is standard for either Vista, or Toshiba laptops, to clear the partitions before installing windows? If this is the case, who made this decision?
    There must be a lot of people like me who migrate assuming that a laptop with a partitioned drive is there so that you can put your data safely on the second drive if you need to reinstall windows. Is it a common thing? Is it me? I'm going crazy after three days using file recovery software?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    What say about it? If you are not sure why you didn t come here and ask the next question?

    Anyway, the fact is that the whole HARD disk is erased before the start of the recovery procedure. When you use Microsoft installations CD or old Toshiba recovery media option where you can choose option called installation on an existing partition there. This option doesn't exist more.

    I know, it's a shame, but there is no chance for the installation of operating system on existing partition. For this reason, it is important to back up all data from external device before you take the new installation of the OS.

  • Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

    Hi all

    I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
    I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

    The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
    I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

    Hi amigo

    I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

    Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

  • How to reinstall Vista?

    Hello!

    I need help. I have a Toshiba laptop and a few days ago I formatted with a friend who was supposed to know how to do. We have done with the restore cd that I had for vista, but in the process, we have deleted all partitions. My knowledge is very small, but I think that erase something (the recovery partition?) which was necessary to reinstall Vista because the CD does not work.

    Another friend told me that what I need now is an installation for Vista CD and that now that we have erased all my recovery CD does not work.

    Someone has an idea?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know what exactly you were doing, but normally you can reinstall the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a very easy procedure because you only have to make a few clicks. Disk erase the whole HARD drive but that s normal so Don t be to worry about this.

    Alternative, you can use a Microsoft Windows disk. Thus, you can also reinstall Vista, but after that, you will need to download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

    Cannot install external CD drive Vista
    Options
    ? 15/03/2013 15:03

    My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
    Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
    It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
    Not now, however.
    So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
    Which has resulted in these messages:
    http://wikisend.com/download/996858/20130313_160410.jpg
    and:
    http://wikisend.com/download/363738/20130313_171457.jpg

    Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402V30000R01NL.htm

    Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
    I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

    All solutions?

    In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
    Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

    The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

    In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
    Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

    All ideas

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

    Maybe it would work

    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!
