  Hello... My laptop out there today and I'm trying to start it, it says "operating system not found '... I guess I reinstall windows Vista but I can't find any cd/dvd...

  Hello

  If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop 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.

  Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

  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 phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

  Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window

  * original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *

  Hi gulabsher,

  You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation.  The original supplied with the software should do just fine.  However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).

  If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software.  Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country
  and click Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• have to reactivate Vista Home Premium (for the second time), but did not have the product key - thinking that I had to upgrade to Windows 7 instead.

  Now, I had recover and restore to factory settings on my PC for the 2nd time in 2 years (I think a problem for Vista?).  Rather than activate Vista Home Premium (which I did not anyway-25 character product code), I thought it would be beneficial (and relieve another instance) upgrade to Windows 7?  I would appreciate any thoughts. Is that what I do online and Windows 7 will work around the Windows Vista Home Premium?  No risk of problems since Windows 7 is new?  I basically use it for home, but like following applications.  Windows 7 is having the same issues that has Vista?

  You cannot switch to windows 7 since Vista without activation of Vista.

  * original title - I Am A Genuine user of windows vista. I have loss all documents and the installation cd. Product key have only. How can I get an another free Windows CD? *

  Hi Aowlad,

  If your copy of Vista came pre-installed with your PC, you should contact the manufacturer of your PC for replacement disks. You will find no doubt that they will charge you for the replacement and they won't be cheap.

  If you purchased your copy of Vista in a store you will be normal should have the purchase receipt or proof of purchase (I guess a credit card statement would be sufficient, but I'm not sure). Take a look at this link for more details:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246
