• can I reinstall vista, removed hard drive?

  I bought a laptop computer with a hard drive deleted, if I get a new hard then re - install vista if they product key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop?

  Hello

  Licenses, Activation and hardware drivers problems do not work how the other poster tells you

  If this hard drive was put in another computer, it would not work for 2 reasonns.

  1, it will NOT be activated until the preinstaled license OEM, a computer brand, DELL, HP, etc, is related to the original machine it was installed on

  2. it would not in all the probability of starting as this removed hard disk motherboard drivers required in order for it to work on your laptop, not another machine

  many people take a hard drive out so that they can keep them on private data they sell laptop

  also with regard to what the other poster told you about the recovery partition:

  It won't work that on YOUR laptop, NOT another machine, the hard disk may be implemented

  Here's how to reinstall Vista on your laptop:

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc and use your product key

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Try to reinstall Vista via the Vista installation disc.  However, the following message appears: must remove the power cell.  What is a power cell and what is the solution for a re - install?

  Thank you

  Hi Rick,

  1. you are trying to boot from the disc or start on the desktop to start the installation?

  If you don't have any concerns of data, you can continue the installation without removing the program.

  If you have any concerns of data, then try to remove the PowerShell and run the install. Also perform a backup of important data before reinstalling Windows Vista.

  Refer to Microsoft KB article for more information:

  You cannot pass a Windows operating system when you have Windows PowerShell 1.0 installed

  Here are the General information relating to the recovery.

  Contact Toshiba for the exact details.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back 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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  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

  Hi Helen,

  If you try to start from scratch, the new facility is the option.

  Note: after a clean installation, all data, programs, and drivers on the computer will be lost. It is recommended to make a backup of your important data before performing any installation. You need to reinstall the device drivers. Make sure that you back up office documents before re-formatting of the computer.

  You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to reinstall Windows Vista.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

  I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

  You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard- that's why you could not reinstall Windows Vista on the new motherboard, because his attached to the motherboard that initially provided with HP and Vista recovery disk system are supposed to work only with him.

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• Satellite Pro A200 - is possible that I can reinstall Vista?

  Hello

  I bought an A200 a couple of years pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.

  Recently, I caught a virus and had to re - install windows I've tried in vain the recovery disc I made of the Toshiba Recovery program. After several attempts I decided to install Ubuntu 9.1 instead, I was happy with, however certain features, as the no sound via HDMI, did not work then I would reinstall Vista.

  In my view, that for pre-installed Vista installation files are on a partition somewhere on my A200.
  Is there a way I can re - install Vista?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can only use the Toshiba Recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista.
  I presume that drive HARD recovery was not available for this model of laptop, but even if it is available, you wouldn't be able to start because you have installed Linux

  So you have just two solutions mentioned; disk recovery or MS Vista.

• Satellite A300 - after reinstalling Vista touchpad and FN doesn't

  Hello

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium (before removing the old, I saved "Toshiba" folder with the drivers) and now the touchpad does not work + FN key does not work.

  Should which driver I install and where?
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Normally it is not necessary to install a driver for the touchpad because s he s always activated, but you can do this also with FN + F9.

  However, you should try to install the Toshiba Value added package. This is necessary for the FN keys and on the Toshiba site, you can also find the touchpad driver. Check it!

• Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

  Hi all

  I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
  I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

  The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
  I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

  Hi amigo

  I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

  Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

• Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

  Cannot install external CD drive Vista
  Options
  ? 15/03/2013 15:03

  My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
  Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
  It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
  Not now, however.
  So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
  Which has resulted in these messages:

  and:
  http://wikisend.com/download/363738/20130313_171457.jpg

  Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402V30000R01NL.htm

  Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
  I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

  All solutions?

  In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
  Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

  The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

  In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
  Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

• Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

  Hey

  I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

  My specs are:
  Intel Pentium
  2 GB OF RAM
  Hard drive 160 GB

  > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

• 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... '. »?

• I need to reinstall Vista on my laptop on a drive, have questions.

  I have a backup disk & need to reinstall Vista.  Clean up some stuff on my laptop before I do it & if sowhat to do?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  If the backup disk is created using any built-in utility (recovery disk), you can use the disk to restore PC to factory default state. If you intend to restore the PC using the disk, the disk may completely format the hard disk and to restore. But, you can start the recovery process from the PC, without the need to restore disc, because the PC contains a separate recovery partition. You can begin the process of recovery of the partition of hard drive also. Consult the manual of the PC user for more information.
