  I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
  If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

  Using the Toshiba Recovery disk or a generic Disc from Microsoft?

  If there is a SATA Mode option in the BIOS, set it to "compatibility".

• Reinstall Windows 7 Home Basic laptop Fujitsu A530

  Hello

  I bought a Fujitsu AH530 Laptop a few years back.

  I had Windows 7 Home Basic pre installed on my laptop. I have the product key original glued to the back of my laptop.

  I had backup of my important files. Fujitsu had provided me with Windows 7 installation CD and CD drivers.

  How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and restore my laptop to factory settings.

  Please help urgently.

  Thank you.

  Use the drivers disk dated Fujitsu since it is a path way to have a functional system, you can always update drivers through Windows Update. It is not essential to have the latest drivers.

  Insert the Windows 7 reinstall disk

  Restart your computer immediately begin to type f12 for the boot menu.

  When the Startup menu appears, choose option 2 or 3 for the DVD player.
  When he turns the disc and says "Press any key to boot from the DVD" press a key
  Select a language, INSTALL now
  Accept the license and custom advanced install
  Patition 0 2 SYSTEM - Select disk DRIVE ADVANCED (lower-right)
  Choose the option remove on all partitions display. (1 by 1)
  Then click on new, apply and choose the Format...
  Click next to start installation.
  It takes about 20 minutes to install the base OS

  Proceed to installing the drivers during the installation is complete.

  Run Windows Update updates of additional driver.

  I would avoid drivers to be honest if they work quite well already.

• Im trying to reinstall windows 7 but my laptop used regognise it

  Hi I hope someone can help me, my lappy wont recognize the disk im (genuine) windows tries to use, disk is fine coz its been tried on other lappys and my fine coz of disk drives, he plays a different cd/dvd ive tried

  You may not use any dvd of Windows 7 to reinstall windows, unless it's a commercial version. Normally retail drives are limited to a single computer, so you need to uninstall your version of windows installed on the previous computer. You will need to change the order of the Boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from a Windows 7 disc, and that's probably why your attempts have failed.

  Reinstall windows using the diskette is not the way to solve your problems. Your laptop have will come with a pre-installed Windows version. What is this version of Windows and what is your mobile brand and model?

  Type system information in the search box above the Start button and press ENTER. Select file, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Please download your disk from sky to share and post a link here.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point.

• How can I reinstall Windows Defender on my laptop HP Vista 64-bit?

  Bots and a kind of virus/hacker got in and everything moving & ripped off many drivers needed for important security programs such as defender and Trend Micro Titanium, Ran Malwarebytes and Spy - bot Search & Destroy, but nothing came.  Responsible for Microsoft Security Essentials and who is working for a little time, and then when the computer restarts after updates through Windows Update, Security Essentials is disabled, just as the Defender is always, it seems!  When I try to start it (Yes, as an administrator!) until you get the error code: 0x800106ba and display hangs.  I try to save almost 4 000 photos stored on my laptop and transfer them to a new external hard drive, a few buddies very attentive gal of my friends bought for me (I'm home with AIDS and the very limited income, so it really sucks if I can't get my main source of social interaction, news) creative and well stuff even more upward and running the way it should have been when I bought 2 years ago!).
  I digress from the subject, sorry.  In any case, I downloaded the Defender, called Windows Installer: Defenderx64.msi Windows and when I run I get another error message that says that the Defender is already loaded and to reload I must uninstall Defender. and when I try to it says I can't because he shook in Vista, somehow and not repairable.  Please advise!  JSB

  You can not uninstall and reinstall defender in vista

  It is part of the vista operating system

  and only have AN antivirus installed

  more than one can cause system conflicts

  and most of the AVs disable defender

  read this information on the Defender:

  ·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

  the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

  and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

  It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

  and read this information to microsoft:

  Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849

  for malware problems, read this:

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.

• Reinstalling windows 7 on a laptop comes with pre-installed windows

  I bought my Dell XPS two or three years, and it came with a preinstalled version of Windows 7 64-bit. I would now like to format and perform a new installation of the same version of Windows.

  I already have a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc (tested on an old machine server and that market), I wrote down the product ID (found in the computer-> properties-> Windows activation), which looks like xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx, and also, using a few different 3rd party programs Magic Jelly Bean, ProduKey, Belarc), I found my product key, which looks like xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.

  These two will be enough to activate my Windows after I have format my computer? Can I first of all turn off somewhere before formatting to release the license?

  I received my DVD of a link provided by a moderator on this forum (there was a link to msft.digitalrivercontent.net).

  I already have a backup system full (using the backup and restore of windows tool) on an external drive in case something goes wrong and am currently backing up my personal data as well as the basic driver.

  I find the COA sticker on the underside of my laptop, so I hope that I now have the correct product key.

  Thank you very much for the help!

  You are welcome.

  As you have the ISO digitalriver download on DVD do this way:

  How to do a clean install; and Yes, to use the product key on the COA sticker you have found with the method chosen to reinstall:

• How do I reinstall Windows 7 on Acer laptop upgrade

  I bought a computer laptop acer Travelmate 7730. A year ago.

  for about 3 months, I have experienced a problem with the computer about freezing, causing my computer laptop in a hold, unable to do anything with the computer freezing and any action unable to respont. I've only been able to stop it and start again, manually: (.)

  I have enough of the problem, since it interrupts my daily work in school and my photoshop work to ruin.

  so I thought that a resettlement would contribute to my laptop, but my computer was preinstalled vista, and I received an offer when windows 7 is released, so I've updated. now I can't figure out how to reinstall my computer

  Sorry if there is no error of gramma, English is not my native language

  You should have a media or recovery partition to reinstall Vista. Generally, Atl + F10.  This will reinstall Vista and from there you can upgrade to Windows 7 again.

  Then go to the Acer support website and search the Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.
  http://GD.PanAm.Acer.com/home/

  If you have Windows 7 drivers then download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them.
  Install the drivers for the card mother/chipset first, then the SATA, LAN, Audio drivers,
  and all the other remaining drivers you downloaded.

  BIOS updates: you should check to see if there was one, or sometimes several updates BIOS for the motherboard. Read (if provided) which solves the update. Sometimes a newer BIOS update will fix the problem. Read the instructions on how to your BIOS update/flash very carefully and be more you understand the process. There is a risk of a bad flash/update occurs which can make your system unbootable.

  Check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

• Reinstall windows XP on A60

  Hello

  I need to reinstall windows xp on my laptop A60 (the one with the DVD writer on this subject), the recovery disk does not all drivers to this topic and does not load to the top when you put it in the drive and the Windows XP disk came with the laptop. I'm unable to close, ctrl - alt - del does not work most of the time and CPU usage history is running VERY high and erratic.

  A new photoshop CS does not or TURBO LISTER for ebay (this is what I see - sell my art of photoshop on ebay) and it also takes forever to stop, sometimes it does not allow the command ctrl - alt... does not work I have to manually shut down.

  I downloaded quarentined and ad-aware software and destroyed a lot of bugs, but I still need to reinstall windows - any ideas anyone?

  The computer has 4 months - if that helps at all.

  Thank you!! :)

  Judd (Miss)

  Hi Juddlin

  I also have professional WXP and it works correctly. Sorry, but I'm a bit confused with your ad. First of all I want to know everything was working properly when you start the laptop first time computer. I ask this question because in the beginning, the laptop is preinstalled by Toshiba.

  I do not understand when you said this doesn t recovery disc have all the drivers. As far as I know recovery disk made up of all the drivers for all the hardware components of your laptop. Just if you replace certain hardware components, it is possible that you need some updates to the driver.

  If you want to reinstall OS save your data on the second partition if you have one, or save on a medium such as DVD or CD.
