Restore to Vista W7 sauvegardΘ?

I need to come back to Windows 7 Windows Vista. Can I restore files, settings and programs for Vista backup + image made by Windows 7 on an external hard drive?

Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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

  • Restore Windows Vista to Windows 7

    I bought my second hand computer and told me that windows 7 was already installed, even if the laptop computer used Windows Vista originally. However, the copy of windows 7 is currently installed is not genuine. I don't want to buy Windows 7 I'm going well with Vista.

    Is it possible to restore windows Vista without an installation disk?
    Appreciate any advice!

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    This method is probably more through the installation of Windows 7:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, 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.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    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

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

  • System Restore DVD Vista vs Windows 7

    I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.  I looked around and tried to search but can't find my answer.

    I just reveived my new HP Pavilion dv7t last night.  Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of DVD system restore, but This can only be done once.  I am in the process to register for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce is expected within a week.

    Should I go ahead and create the restore DVD system with the Vista operating system, and if I do I then will be able to create another System Restore DVD for Windows 7?

    I want to assure you that I have a restore of the system based on both operating systems, where I need to go back to Vista, but still have a system for Windows 7 restore, if it proves to be stable and I like the OS.

    I hope this makes sense...

    Make your Vista recovery DVD. Two reasons...

    1. you will not be able to do a cover of 7 Win set, (unless, of course, HP offers a magic here).

    2. If you install Win 7 and you need to reinstall it later, you will have to start with the Vista installation and repeat the upgrade process (unless HP upgrade version works differently from the retail... version did not get a response on this one here).

    Of course, you can always use an application of imaging to make an image of the newly installed Win 7 to use in the case of a reinstall. Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 choices. Macrium is my preference.

  • Restore the Vista color scheme

By clicking on the Start button, revealed my menus for the menus 2D without inspiration, that I remembered from earlier operating systems. I right click on the desktop, click on 'Customize', 'window color and appearance' and checked the color schemes in the "Appearance settings" dialog box He registered "Windows standard" Windows classic"and four high-contrast patterns. It does not, however, list Windows Vista. Now, I'm getting a little reached cognitive as I get older, but I'm sure that Windows Vista was listed as a color scheme this area the last time I looked. A quick check confirmed that, in all other respects, I am always under Vista Home Premium. Only the color scheme, transparencies, etc. seem to be affected.
