But some items do not work properly and I discovered that a lot of files of operation are missing. I regularly update the latest of all my suppliers of software protection as I us this machine for my photography and music. I would like to have a reinstall while I can reload XP with all the missing files back in place. This should eliminate all the waste that has been collected over the years hoping to make it cleaner to work with.

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making 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

• Pavilion Slimline desktop computer: Reinstall W7 Home Premium on a new disc

  I need to replace the disk of har on that office that the original one failed.  I'll have to reinstall the operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).  Windows was originally preinstalled on the disc when buying so I don't have the original installation disks, but I found a set of HP recovery disks which I am sure that the from this computer.  My other computer is an HP, but is W8.1.

  I have found a product key and tried to see if I could download a new copy of W7 but the product key is not used, I'd expect to see.  One of the groups of characters is "OEM" which I know is an indication that it has been installed by HP.  I got this key off the screen of the system until I took it off the service.  What steps should I take when I get a new drive for this computer to install Windows?

  If you have the recovery for the PC, it will reinstall everything that was out there when it came from the factory, until he's actually executed.  Don't go too big on the new drive. as I said earlier "If the PC comes with Windows 7 is already installed, the PC can be returned to"sweet facorty"with the set of recovery disks and will be activated and the key will be installed."

• Should I reinstall Vista Home Premium?

  My problem started when I downloaded a few new files for a game, I run on my Vista Home Premium.  The game is Left 4 Dead 2, I've been looking for a good map editor for game cards included with the game, and in my research on the web, I found a few new cards that are in zip (compressed) format, and after reading the instructions I have to use my 'open with... " command through Vista and the value of Left 4 Dead 2 as well as the program to open these files with..., now on my system, I have a lot of space (500 GB HDD with about 75% of free space), I have a quad-processor, 2.40 GHz Pentium 4, 4 GB of RAM.  Now for the problem; When I select Left 4 Dead 2 as the program to use in the "Open with...» " window and click OK, nothing happens, Left 4 Dead 2 does not appear in the"Open with... " list of programs and it happens with all types of file/program type on my system.  So I ask, can I reinstall Vista once more?  It has been replaced once before, and honestly, I didn't like the process of resettlement.

  Resettlement took my old Windows subfolder and placed in another directory on the operating system reinstalled.  I can see why he does it, but honestly, it's a royal pain in the neck to find out what to do with the new directory, I ended up just removing all together.  So I ask you, should I reinstall or not to solve this problem with 'open with... '. »?

• failure of hard disk drive necessary to reinstall WinXP Home on replacement HARD drive

  I have an of Western Digital HARD drive with my system of operating XP Home 32-bit installed on my primary C: drive.

  I have run the Diagnostics tool online to WD for the reader who found intractable errors on the disc, which indicates an imminent drive failure and an email their technical support confirms the disk needs to be replaced SOON before she completely fails.

  I copied all personal off the drive failed on another drive good files and am now ready to remove the failed drive and install a new replacement main primary HDD and then reinstall my XP Home on it - so - until I started to do this thinking, I would ask for tips in anticipation of a smooth, re - install on the new drive.

  I got a 25 character key and proof of 8-character license key. There is a Microsoft sticker on the back of the pc (that I do not see to read right now, but its there).

  So, I remove the old drive and fit the replacement drive and this format and then install my XP Home - can we see a particular problem with activation?

  concerning

  Depending on whether you have a recovery CD suitable for activation key for your sticker or not, there are three possible courses of action. Each activation of the path should not be a problem unless this procedure has been done several times or your 25-character key fell into the wrong hands.

  If you have a recovery CD

  .. .so how to get XP to date.

  If your recovery media is a service pack before SP3, there is more information on how to get to SP3 in my first post in this thread...

  If you do not have a recovery CD

  I hope that your original drive will have a recovery partition or the means to create a recovery CD. If you can create recovery media do now. In the contrary case and the original disc has a recovery partition make a clone of the original hard disk sector by sector to your new car now. If the clone is successful, i.e., that there are no unreadable sectors, is perhaps the best way to proceed in any case, especially if your PC is in good health other than the imminent failure of your HARD drive. If the clone does not work out, you can always fall back on the new installation. The advantage of a clone is that there is no re-setup software to (updates Windows or Office to give just two examples) and didn't need to be restored. I paid for the partitioning/cloning software and have no experience of all freebies out there to make recommendations, perhaps 10crackers can help with this.

  If you have managed to create a recovery media, you can use it instead of cloning.

  If you clone successfully you can just use it as is, or use the built-in recovery partition that you just cloned to do a clean install.

  If you don't have a recovery media and cannot create an and is unable to successfully clone

  You will have to contact the manufacturer of your PC to see if they can provide recovery media.

• It's a complete hard drive after reinstalling XP Home and all updates are done, why?

  Do a XP Home reinstall on a desktop HP clocked at 1.6 ghz with 1 GB of ram and a 10 GB hard drive (about 9.8 GB usable after format). Booted from the disc, has made a full format of the hard drive, responsible for XP home without any problems, registered with Microsoft online, loaded all updates including SP3. Now, the system shows only about 170 MB of hard disk space. Is it possible that XP Home with updates can use much more space or can I have another problem? I thought that she should only use about 1.5 GB?

  I could indeed take up that much space. But, you have a more serious problem. Your drive is too small... you have lucky, Windows is still stable. Where to install your programs?

  It is not clear to me what you're trying to do. If you try to downgrade XP Pro at home, that is not possible. If you try to do a clean reinstall of XP Home, you're doing it wrong. To do this, you must boot from the XP Home installation CD.
