I hope that microsoft will have a solution... thx guys...

Hello skilsaw,.

You will need to contact everywhere where it is online, you bought Windows 7 from about your product key.

And Product Key finder programs won't help you as you disappeared from your own hard drive by doing a cover of Vista...

    Hey taffyboss007

    There is no download free legal vista

    Contact acer and ask them to send recovery disks

    they do it for a nominal cost

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    and ask them if you have a recovery partition to reinstall vista

    you will normally need to press Alt + F10 to start the acer recovery process

  • Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

    I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

    I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

    I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

    1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

    2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

    Thanks in advance,

    W!

    The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

    «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»
