• Missing OS... Basic Vista restore disk will not load

  I tried EVERYTHING except YOUR solution!  I'm not dummie (well, maybe), but it's me and some friends very tech savvy absolutely perplexed.

  Stage 1:   Dell Inspiron 1545.  Zero out HD.  Restore disk will not load.  Black screen States:

  Missing operating system
  Press a key to reboot_

  Scene 2:   Windows 7 (not a working copy) does very well, but not Vista Basic.  XP (again, not a working copy)almost loaded!  I even tried loading Vista on Win7 nothing helps.  Lived all the NTLDR missing, etc., has visited several Q / a forum... you're my last shot at this!  I even tried restoring disks from my other laptop (Toshiba), knowing full well, it produces no result... there not!  lol HD and motherboard are beautiful - I AM able to load OS to 'other' guys... Superblock is now ultimately nonexistent.

  Final:   Current situation: Zero out Once AGAIN , tried to install it, HD has failed.  A ran bootfix and installed SMTDRV.  Always the same black screen and invites as stated above, when you try to load Vista.  The thing F12, the same result.  DVD is fine.  The done of F2 and load default.  Guess that that same result.

  I have Win7, but the funds just aren't there.  I am a student (ISS), but my University is not offered at the discount of Win7.  Please help me to recover my Vista!  Thank you, thank you, thank you... in advance!

  If the Dell recovery process does not work, contact Dell.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Below is the normal process of recovery of Dell.

• None of my restore points will not work. He directed the restoration of the system and that it recharges, but says system has not been restored.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
  What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine, but of course, this should work if you think you need.
  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

  For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
  Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
  It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues

  The reader at the link below must be compatible with your laptop and will offer a little more storage.  You might well be able to install a hard drive with a larger capacity, but this should be a choice course.

  Hi @weiwei17,
   
  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your computer laptop 14-ac014tx HP and questions with your upgrade to Windows 10. Try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix the problem.

  Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

  HP has worked closely with Microsoft on developing for Windows 10. Currently there is no driver available for your system. You can try and check at a later date, because I see new drivers all the time.

  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that may need updating.

  Thank you.

• my sidebar is displayed, but will not work. Defender won't come out, can not run safety programs

  Hi mgm842,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. you receive messages or error codes?

  Step 1:

  You can check out the following link and try to download the Microsoft Safety Scanner and perform a full scan on your computer and check.

  Note: When you perform the analysis, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup of important data before performing analysis.

  Check out the link:

• I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro; Where can I find an ISO to do this?

  Hello

  I bought 3 computers on a sale at auction and I do not have passwords enemy inwdows. I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro on those computers and I don't have the product keys.

  Where can I find an ISO to do this?

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  My desktop has windows xp media center edition with Service Pack 3 for years, there work and maybe it's time to junk food, however my laptop has windows vista, which I don't like, I have seen windows 7 and am not fond of him either, so what can I do?

  I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

  When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

  This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

  Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

  Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid

  have a pc unstabel again.

  My HP G60 came with Vista. It has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 but the audio has become non-functional. Is it necessary for a new driver solve the problem? If not, I think to restore Vista restore disks. Restore disks can still work now that there Windows 8.1 in it?

  Restore with recovery with work records and return the system to Windows Vista. However, if you need drivers, please follow these steps:
  1. in the run box, type devmgmt.msc.
  2 unknown devices would be listed as such and plotted with a yellow question mark.
  3. Select the unknown device or any other device you need of drivers and right-click to access the properties.
  4. in the Properties window, click the Details tab and select Device Instance of Id or hardware ID from the drop-down.
