Reload of Windows Vista
I'm trying to remove Unbuntu from my Windows Vista Dell laptop:
- I first used diskmgmt.msc to remove Unbuntu partitions.
- Then, and this is the problem the grub no longer works which should.
- What I need is a Windows Vista startup disk to start the computer from the CD drive, and then use the system restore
I need a windows vista startup disk that came with my Dell computer and pressing F8 has no effect.
Anyone know how I can create a boot disk. I have another windows vista laptop and I have a desktop windows 10.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello
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 '

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

problem reinstalling windows Vista operating system.
I'm trying to reinstall the windows Vista operating system. When I restart and press F8 on my dell Inspiron will in the Advanced Boot Options. I support then to fix my computer, but instead of reloading Windows Vista my computer turn on normally. How can I solve this problem. Thanks in advance for your support. Valerie SGWhy you want to reinstall your PC? It could be that you don't need to reinstall Windows, and solutions you could solve, which is recommended.
However, if you want to reinstall your Windows, it's NOT F8, F8 key belongs to Windows and he'll fix the problems. To reinstall Windows, you must use differently for Dell steps:
And for more details, you could visit the Dell Web site and search for your model and find the method to do this, or contact technical support:

How to: reload Windows Vista OP on my Toshiba LT!
I have a Toshiba Satellite P305 S8820. Last night after a reboot, it didn't start Windows (Vista).
I need help to find a solution to reload Windows Vista for my lieutenant an another LT (which I use) has Vista on it, is possible to copy Windows Vista operating systems it load in my LT?I need the solution as close to free as possible! I am broke seriously.The MytechGurus and the number of 1800 said that you guys could send me the steps to take and how to install it.So far there are no F8, it just goes to the Toshiba Logo where you can access F2 (Bios I think) and F12. Day and night, I tried everything I could think and search on google. Put the CD/DVD drive 1st in boot order (after trying to return to the default settings) with my Toshiba Recovery CD - it was useless. The Guru has said you must have the Windows Op CD, but Toshiba does not understand that! I also tried the 0 and R and C and nothing happens but the screen pretty empty after logo Toshiba (where windows is supposed to load) and then beeps to push the pesky buttons. I also tried Ctrl alt del and just becomes it works for the same process of death after the logo screen. I did the whole thing from the battery and the charger also.Basically, Windows does not start.I'm not surprised, since Vista makes sometimes fragmentary, but its never been THIS bad.Please PLEASE please help me!My life is on the LT model, seriously, and I need it back.RatHello

Windows Vista Edition Family Premium Reload
My WVHP crashed and he was not recoverable, despite several attempts. I reloaded my original WXP Pro and I am trying to reload my WVHP upgrade CD.
When I enter the product key for HP tells me that an existing version of Windows must be installed (there is the XP Pro) and, in addition, I do not get a prompt for a clean install.
Another thing, just as a lark and see if the hard drive or the BIOS had problems I loaded Win7 temporarily, of a pure install and it worked fine. I loaded a new installation of XP Pro on it and then tried the Vistga upgrade. Anyone have any ideas?

I had to reload windows after blue screen of death would not go away and now my desktop PC thinks it of a laptop and tablet pc installed programs. I use this as a media pc and run only the moviw and music on this subject. Need to get the old system, because it now seems slower for some reason any.
Why and how your computer gives you the impression it's a laptop?
Take a look at the toolbars when you right click on an empty part of the taskbar. Uncheck the box about the Tablet PC.
Tablet PC also gets a mention in programs and features / turn Windows features on or off.

Motherboard fried; replaced, but the OEM disks don't reload Windows Vista
How can I do or what number to call to get reloaded Vista. I have two computers even. HP Pavilion a6300f. Both are about 2 years old and all original. In November 2009, the motherboard on one of two computers went wrong. In December, the other motherboard has gone bad. I bought a new motherboard for the first and reloaded all the original hard disk, fan, CPU etc. etc. Tried to use the OEM recovery disk, but he would not allow it. I would like to be able to challenge the two machines, re - install windows vista and then move to W7 to correspond with my new computer... but I can't get Vista to recharge.
Any ideas on who to call at Microsoft? It seems to me that I should be able to reinstall Vista and then do what I want to do.
It's nothing to do with Microsoft.
You use HP recovery media.
You will need to contact them about problems with their recovery media.
You have changed the motherboard and their OEM recovery disks include drivers for the motherboard of origin for your model computers.
Contact HP:
