  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

  Hello

  Look on the bottom computer and on the tape or disc that came with the unit.

  These can be controlled mode also - safe tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

  If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
  only retrieve your existing key.

  One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

• I need to reinstall windows and lost my disc that I still have the activation code

  where can I get a disk of windows xp home edition

  Windows XP has been interrupted and that they are consequently very difficult
  find for sale these days, except for a place like eBay; What if
  you buy it on eBay, you run the risk that you will get a
  copy pirate you will not be able to activate.
  But if you have your product key, consider the following: try to find
  a friend with a copy of XP Home that matches your for what is
  Sold at retail or OEM and (retail) Full Upgrade vs. You can legally do
  a copy of his friends, since you have your own product key. But keep in mind
  If yours is OEM, OEM of someone else, copy if it came
  installed on his computer, can be locked to the computer BIOS and
  does not work on yours.

  And finally, a question for you. You say "I need windows reinstll.
  But what makes you think you need? Although it is sometimes
  necessary, it is almost always useless and is a very bad reaction
  almost any problem you encounter.

• M4-1003TX Pavillion: Reinstall windows 8 with the help of the oem product key

  I want to re install windows 8 using the oem product key. I use HP model m4-1003TX. After making USB drive bootable and boot by USB the following message appears - "the product key entered don't match any available for installation windows image.

  Hello

  Your laptop came with Windows 8 64-bit Core edition
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03743644

  It doesn't matter what you are currently using.

  The product key of Windows 8 is integrated into the BIOS chip. B. I installed Windows 8.1 update in a few of my laptop Windows 8 using the tutorial.

  This means that the reason why the method above does not work, or you didn't follow correctly, either the key of your BIOS is corrupted.

  I suggest you follow the tutorial without delay. Download the media creation tool & later the edition appropriate Windows 8.1 ISO according to the edition of Windows 8 installed on your laptop. For example. Single language edition Core (SL) 8.1 Windows 64 bits.

  Disable secure boot & enable in the BIOS:

  Make USB bootable ISO downloaded and a clean install of the operating system by booting from it.

• Need help to reinstall windows

  Hi, I have a few little problems and I wud appreciate really any help.

  Information on the machine:

  OS: Windows 7 Home premx64, factory loaded.

  Model: HP Envy 1010sa 6

  Error 1: HDD not found in windows setup mode

  Error 2: not found portable cd/dvd drive in windows setup mode

  problems explained:

  When I got this machine, it came formatted as a drive only, as I prefer diving windows drive (100 GB) and the rest of the space (400 GB) for my other files, so I decided to create my own partition and reinstall windows. BUT when I got back to reinstall... He cudnt find my HARD drive, then I updated my bios to e.16 and made the cd/dvd drive first boot floppy and restart, now it can't even find my cd/dvd player... Please help.

  AHA GouroB, then you are in the United Kingdom, I should be able to treaties which, as I am from there myself, but I have lived in the United States during the past 25 years.  Even if we get stuck, we know where to turn to for additional assistance.

  (I could start putting the letter 'u' in a few words, just for color )

  Well I have a unit like yours, same family, but I have the i5 processor and not the i7, makes no difference to what you're trying to do.

  If my research is good that you did not buy a unit with 1 hard drive but rather 2, however the 2nd is a small solid state Msata SSD drive which is used as a Cache drive to speed up performance, he does this by using the Intel Rapid storage, and it shows on my own, which still has the original HP configuration I have cache drive & there RAID 0 on it, all controlled by the Intel rapid storage app, you can download the form where are your drivers.

  BTW, it seems that you already have the latest e.16 BIOS.

  Here is a link to a doc explaining the disk hard Setup http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03192147

  Here's one just on SSD drives http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02435719

  and if you go to your portable HP Softpaq download page you will find downloads for the Intel Rapid storage and diagnostics UEFI F2, including how to set up if you lost.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063 & LC = on & CC = UK & DLC = in & sw_lang = & Product = 5281365 #N642

  In my BIOS under BOOT the first 3, I have just mentioned are:

  Portable hard drive

  USB disk on key/USB hard drive

  CD/DVD ROM USB drive

  Looks like you may have removed some of the features provided with this unit, but you should be able to get them back, even if it means get the recovery media factory HP available on the same site.

  Your laptop has a Setup more complex and delicate that a single normal HDD notebook PIN without a cache mSATA drive, I think that you can be best served by returning to the configuration of HP and the addition of an external drive for extra storage.

  It really runs faster with the work disk cache.

  Now, here is a picture I took of the Intel Rapid storage technology application in my control panel

  

  I hope it's useful, I know you want to get there using your Microsoft Picture & if you want to keep trying to do that I understand, but I think that you need someone for you there.

  Good luck.

• I reinstalled Windows, doesn't have a backup Firefox bookmarks (I tought Firefox Sync that will do for me) and now it seems I've lost them. What can I do?

  After reinstalling Windows and reinstall Firefox, I had firefox sync with (I think) a new product key, because the former was lost. After all the steps when finished and by pressing the sync now button, no synchronization has been made. None of the old don't bookmarks links or directories we are restored. Help, please! Thank you.

  You get your data from the server without the adequate SyncKey key, which is used to encrypt your data to go on the server and decrypted when it is uploaded to Firefox. When you get a new SyncKey to an account, the server is removed from all your data, so it does not fall into the wrong hands.

• I lost everything, my hard drive is blank. I tried recovering files without success. How can I reinstall windows XP without the operating drive?

  My computer came with Windows XP installed and NO CD with the operating system, I haven't bought referbished system off eBay, there is no manufacturer to contact discs... help please! = ~ D not drive for the Windows XP operating system and no way to get the drive's operating. There is no way to recover my OS. Can't afford to buy a new Windows, please I need my computer to manage my eBay business! Can you give me a way to reinstall Windows XP by using my valid license key? = ~ D

  What do you mean by "I've lost everything? What have you done or what happened? Do you have valuable data on your hard drive and hear you because she is 'empty '? What is a malware problem? Or something else?

  The Ebay seller was obliged to provide you with the means to restore the PC to its original state (Yes, I'm aware that many sellers that they don't only not this rule). There may be a hidden hard disk restore partition.
  What is the brand, model and model number of your PC? Your PC came with XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE? What level of SP (Service Pack)? Your PC has a sticker of COA on it? If so, what operating system is listed on it?
  If you use a PC to manage a business, it is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you have a method to regularly backup all your files! I recommend to start another thread for how to do this!
