Reinstall Windows 8 on Dell Ispiron 2330 (have no recovery disc ((())
Hello. I have the same problem like these:
http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/4677/t/19476372.aspx and http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/4677/p/19502094/20346867.aspx
A few weeks ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 2330 with earn 8. But I don't like win8 and so immediately delete and installed win 7. During the installation win7, I saw 5 partitions on the hard drive. If I understand correctly this is the recovery with native partitions Dell win 8. Win 7 has been installed on a primary partition after formatting. After a while, I needed to come back to win 8, but unfortunately I did not create any disk recovery, and it is not possible to select the other partition boot and recovery on F12 (as it was on my laptop) except the partition with the operating system. I don't know about this so far.
I would like to install Dell Win8 authentic yet once installed in the front, to accept the key from the bios. What can I do?
All partitions are intact. Clean install is only the primary partition... MBR is overwritten.
I tried Dell Datasafe Local, it is said that it can not be installed because my hard drive does not have the factory recovery image.
Please, help me to restore Windows 8 of Dell native return.
Thank you.
Best wishes.
I'm not familiar with installation on a Windows recovery partition. It's messy for me.
There may be a solution.
1 create a floppy disk to your Windows7 PC recovery.
2. start from the recovery disk & check if you can install the recovery image BONES [if it is].
Otherwise, read more
You should keep the smaller partitions [around 200-300 Mb] which contain DELL Diagnostics software. It is useful for finding the faults of material. If you can't find these partitions, you should try Easeus partition Master to see if you can find any partition of Dell. You must "assign drive letter" to partitions hidden, as appropriate. If you can find the Dell [about 20 GB] partition operating system & check Dell datasafe works. If datasafe does not work for you, you must save all partitions Dell to an external drive & make a mess for later. It is useful if you find a way to recover them from the disk image. For this, you can use Acronis true image or DriveImageXML.
Another method, I suggest to you is to download the upgrade of Windows8 officially from Microsoft & use it with your key Windows8
From here, you can download
windows.microsoft.com/.../upgrade-product-key-only.

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hello
Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.
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 an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied 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 that an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
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.

Do I have the recovery disc OK for Tecra A6?
Hello.
I have a Tecra A6 (PTA60E) computer laptop and he suffered some sort of virus problem and I couldn't recover. So, I tried to use the disks of recovery (with some success), but when I reboot Xp crashes. I found that the windows\config files are not installed. I then copied the \windows\repair files, but it is not a SYSTEM file - only a system.bak. By renaming this system and move the files to windows\config XP crahses yet.
Now, I noticed that the discs have "Tecra S1" printed on them. I have the hard drives? they are the original disks, so I'm a bit confused.
Thank you
Peter
Hello Peter
If you are sure that you have a recovery disc for Tecra S1, it is logical that you try using recovery bad discs. Recovery disk contains image of recovery and this recovery image is only intended for certain model of laptop.
Purchased used Tecra or it was all new laptop?

Good so I bought a Dell Inspiron of the 620 years for the game and I had to reinstall Windows 7 on a drive I ordered from dell. So I reinstalled Windows 7 and now I have a lot of problems. So first of all it seems very strange, the taskbar is not transparent and all the buttons are very weird. Also, there are no programs in the start menu. Secondly, it is said there is no Internet connection available, but I plugged in everything. I can also connect to the Internet on other PCs as my laptop. Any help is necessary, because I really want to return to the game. :)
Hello
When you reinstall the operating system, you must obtain the latest drivers for Windows 7 Support of Dell.
Go to this link for your model, and then select the operating system > and then select the correct chart, drivers etc. :
http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/product/Inspiron-620s
For network adapter drivers, you can use the computer you are about to post here to go to the link above of Dell > download and save the software drivers for the office > transfer using a Flash drive and install it on the problem machine.
Then use your game machine to get the rest.
And here's how to reinstall using a disc from Dell:
"How manually reinstall Windows 7 on a Dell computer.
You will need
- Dell operating system installation disc
- Dell Resource CD/DVD (also available on the page Dell drivers and downloads )
- Any software and/or the documentation of your connection to the internet service
- Any application install disks
- All install disks for external (such as a printer) and added to your Dell devices after the purchase of internal devices
See you soon.

My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

Hello
Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...
Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.
See which is more easy for you.
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.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
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:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
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.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
See you soon.

How can I reinstall windows vista when I don't have the CD?
I have a problem with my windows vista and I need a new facility, the problem is that I don't have the CD because it was installed when I bought the laptop.
My windows is Vista Business, SP2, 32-bit, 2007!Thank you!
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
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.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
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.
You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
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

I need to make an own reformatting and installing windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron C521 pc. Restore dell to original factory option does not work. Windows has no option to create a recovery disc - am unble to locate the recdisc.exe and possess no original discs as windows came pre-installed, when I brought the machine license key only 25 digits
You call Dell Support and request a set of recovery disks. The cost is minmal and worth it.
Also, ask to speak to a technician. See if the technology can teach you how to access the recovery Partition.
Del has installed the partition, they know how to use it.
