Reinstall Windows 7 repair disc?

My Dell had a Windows Vista operating system. I installed Windows 7 as an upgrade. BOT Family Pack and send the original to our son who lives across the country. The hard drive crashed and Dell it replaced under warranty but would only replace the Vista operating system. How to replace the Windows 7 operating system if I have the disk repair and product key? I put the repair disc in the CD drawer, but it did nothing.   Can I hit F12 and then simply click "Boot to a CD? Will be re - install the OS?

Download a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, burn it to a blank disc and use your product key to reinstall:
Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64 (64-bit)

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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

  • Installation of Windows 7 repair disc

    Hello.. I asked a few weeks ago a problem I have with windows update. I was told to try a repair installation to fix the problem.

    I have windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. It is already installed on my computer so I have a product key for it but not a windows recovery disk... I need to buy one, because only the retail product keys work for the iso version available for download here.

    anyway... do I need to know if a disc like THAT will work for a repair installation? If this is not the case, do I have to buy a new drive for recovery with the product key included? Sorry I am trying to save money if possible lol but if I don't it's good. Thank you!

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    etc.

  • Reinstall Windows Vista - no disc!

    Can someone help me please!  My Vista Home Premium recently became slow with several problems.  I recently updated my anti-virus software installed and run a registry clean program. The new version of anti virus seems to have caused problems - auto quarantine and deleting the .exe files for a lot of programs (e.g. wmplayer!). The antivirus software has also corrupted I open it is more!  I can't uninstall or reinstall the Virus software like 'windows install' is also now apparently not installed!

    So I thought that the best thing to do is to reinstall Vista and reformat the hard disk.  Problem.  I have the product key on the sticker on the back of the laptop, but as it came pre-installed with vista, I don't have an installation cd or dvd.  Anyone know how I can reininstall without one, or how I can get one from Sony or Microsoft?  Thank you.

    If the computer manufacturer did not include Vista drive/s, there should be a recovery hard disk Partition.

    It's the way they do now, most of the time. We are supposed to do the recovery disks it ourselves, with the instructions included in the software of the manufacturer installed in the start menu > programs.

    At the bottom of the splash Screen at startup/power on, there is usually a number key, F10 or F11, hit to start the recovery process, in order to resume the factory (out of the box) standards.

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Each manufacturer has their own way of doing a recovery to factory standards.

    And save all of your data before you do, as a resettlement wipe everything from your hard drive...

  • Windows xp repair disc

    I have an old laptop IBM Thinkpad A22m, he had originally put win2k upgraded to XP.  The HARD drive started clicking on this I tried the image of the drive to mount on a new hard drive.  I only got a part of the image before the HARD drive became a paperweight.  Is it possible to repair the part of the image that I have to get the laptop working again with a new HARD drive?  I would like to get this machine running so that my daughter can play games and DVDs.

    Is it possible to repair the part of the image that I have to get the laptop working again with a new HARD drive?

    Probably not (although I guess it depends on what you mean by 'part of the image' and how much money you are willing to spend).

    If you still have the CD that you used to switch to XP, you can install a new drive and then use the CD to install XP.

    If you have the Windows XP CD is a CD 'Upgrade', then you will need a CD of a previous version of Windows (for example, Win 95, Win 98, Win2k) that you insert during installation to qualify for the upgrade process.

    If you don't have an XP CD and would like to buy one, be very careful of what you buy.

  • Using HP Diagnostic and Win 7 HP PC system repair disc to another, even 0 s?

    A friend who has a more recent with Win 7 HP, HP nor his family know little about the period of the PC, has it completely messed. He asked me if I could fix it, to make a long story short, I can't access a large part of what. I couldn't find any Active safety system. Norton 360 trial expired, Windows Defender is disabled.  I can't access Windows Explorer or the control panel and Windows Update does not work... The list goes on and. I believe there is a major Virus in the machine by the way he told me he started acting about 2 weeks, he started when he was on the opening page after page line.

    It's funny, he thinks really that Microsoft took his machine and since he was on a Government web site (?) they are both after him!

    I told her that I need to run Recovery, probably destructive if I can't back up its files.

    I tried restoring the system to a point more a month, has not helped. I know that the first step is to get rid of the Virus, I was able to get Windows Defender working and updated, quick scan revealed nothing, and I had to start a full Scan him before I left.

    I know that if a mouth full, but here is my question... Can I try to use HP's Diagnostics and Win 7 HP system repair disc I created from my PC on his PC (same OS)? Just to see if it helps so I can get a security software installed and running before you run the recovery.

    Thanks Risingsun

    Hello

    You can certainly use the Windows 7 repair disc as long as it's the same version (IE 32-bit or 64-bit).  However, if there was a large number of malware on the PC, I would say that your suggestion to restore PC to factory settings may well be the best option as this reformatted the hard first of all - this way, you can be sure that everything has been cleared until the operating system is reinstalled.

    To perform a factory reset, there are 2 main ways. Either process will erase the data private so. 

    1. If your friend has created a set of recovery disks, insert the first and reboot the PC to start the process.

    2. Another way is to first shutdown the PC, and then tap away at f11 as soon as you press the power button and this should access Recovery Manager, which then allows you to reinstall the operating system.

    Kind regards

  • How to reinstall windows without losing any data on the Satellite A100

    Hello everyone!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop and would like to reinstall Windows. The disc was divided into 2 parts. WinXp Home is installed on the first.

    What happens with the data on the secondary disk if I use the recovery CD? It will be formatted?
    And if this is the case, how can I reinstall winXP Home without losing the data on the second drive?

    You can install the OS on the first partition only and all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted. To do this procedure of departure recovery and after choosing the language button tablecloth call SETUP. It is placed on the right side.

    If I like what you must remember he chose the second option. The first one can be used when you want to create the new partition (DO NOT choose this one).

    Bye and good luck!

  • Impossible to reinstall windows after having disinfected disc

    Hello experts,

    I ran the disk on an elitebook8470p Sanitizer. She completed successfully, wiping everything as planned.

    Now I am trying to reinstall windows 7, using the "windows repair disc" I created with the hp utility.

    Problem is, there is no option to install windows 7.

    Just a bunch of options to repair, diagnose or reinstall from an image (but it has not listed to choose from images).

    Don't I have the wrong disc?

    Can someone share a list of steps to follow after disinfection drive contest?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The repair disk you mention does not contain the files to reinstall Windows 7, it simply provides a way to access recovery and diagnostic option etc.

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order the HP operating system recovery disc.

    Contact HP.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc you using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( that must be the same version that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • How to create a family on Windows Vista Edition system repair disc?

    I can't find how to on Windows Vista Home Edition to create a startup disk. How can I do this? Thank you!

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.
