• Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

  Hello

  I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

  I downloaded the file .iso Windows Recovery (of size 120 MB), it burned down and tried to reinstall Windows. I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

  Thanks in advance

  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.

• No disk Vista installation - bad/missing file on reboot prevents the go mode without installation disc required

  Is it possible to get an installation disk of Vista download image/content.  I have a valid code of MS for Vista, but there was no installation disc provided with the computer at the time of purchase (without recovery disc either).  An installation disc is required to restart the computer to restore startup files that have been corrupted or damaged in case of overheating of the CPU.

  If Windows Vista was preinstalled on your computer, contact your computer manufacturer and ask a Setup for your model disk. Boulder computer Maven

• Cannot use or restore Vista after SP1 uninstall

  original title: cannot use or restore after uninstalling SP1 Vista - please help.

  In order to perform an upgrade of Vista installation to repair the damage caused by a virus recently, I uninstalled Service Pack 1 (because installation upgrade will not work with SP1). I know there are other things I should have done (a sfc/scannow in theCommandPrompt) or SP1 slipstreamed DVD, but I did not know them at the time, nor did I think there will be problems as a result of an uninstallation of SP1. As the title suggests, I got kind of wrong.

  It all started after uninstallation, which seemed successful. I rebooted, and instead to get Vista without SP1, I get an error code of the variety of the command prompt (just the black screen with white writing). This continues for a couple of times, and after a few remedies attempts that fail miserably, I decide to systemrestore(using the Vista CD, of course) at a point before uninstalling SP1. I think it will work, but the first time, as it gets to the "development of restoration" and how he hung for three hours before, I decided to turn off the computer because he was of course not moveable anywhere. I restart and let the boot from HARD drive upwards to see if maybe something worked, and I get to the login screen of Vista, how I notice none of my devices work. The mouse or the keyboard responds (both are USB) and the attempts with the PS/2 versions don't either. I thought maybe it was a driver problem, so I reinstalled the driver chipset at the disk using my laptop (took thedesktopHARD drive, put in a box outside, then executed the installer of the chipset on my laptop and said to install outside driver), but it could not solve the problem. I also tried other restorations, but invariably they fail after a certain point, which gives me an error message:

  "System restore failed due to an unspecified error. The file could not be opened from a transactional point of view, because its identity depends on the result of a unresolved transaction. (0x80071AA7).

  I googled errormessageand see that most people encounter it while trying to install a service pack, I thought it was a problem with restoring Vista without SP1 to Vista SP1. Thusly, I used the command from theVistaCD command-line option to read my Windows Update log and got the following:

  I can't interpret it, although it seems to confirm my suspicions the transition from other than the SP1 and SP1 is causing issues. If someone else could interpret this?

  Basically I have a non-functional operating system, I can not restore it to a State of operation, nor access the input devices because it does not work on the login screen. Anyone all proposed solutions to the problem, short of a clean install of Vista? I don't want to reformat unless absolutely necessary.

• Restore VISTA after Windows 7 not genuine loading

  I inadvertently installed a non-genuine version of windows 7.  In order to correct the problem, I decided to run the rocovery system to retrieve my loaded original software.  Cam Windows Vista downloaded on my Compaq Presario desktop computer and the PC came not with the installation disc as the files were stored in the part of the recovery.  I followed the instructions and made backups on DVD 14.  When I finished the backups and finsished blow, the PC restarted and the message came that the Boot MGR was not found.  It seems now that I don't have an operating system.  Why the recovery program not located and restore my Vista OS?  I do not see why I would need to buy another OS, if I had alreay Vista downloaded on the PC.

  I recently bought a Toshiba laptop with a Home Premium Windows 7 x 64 preload version.  It has not come with a Windows installation disc.  I want to reformat the hard drive and put on a clean version of the same operating system.   Right now my only solution is to find someone with a disk or an iso.  Which turns out to be harder than I thought.   Is it possible to make an image of Win 7 Win 7 without having to make a picture?

  Then store made me a new hard drive, so the files have disappeared.

  There is not any operating system is installed there, and I was not even trying to create a before recovery disk.
  To restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disc, as soon as I hear?

  Could someone tell me how to handle?
  Thank you very much!

  > There is not any operating system is installed there, and I was not even trying to create a before recovery disk.
  Bad, bad. Buddy. Generally, you need to create the recovery to the first disk using the laptop.
  T did not read the user manual? Didn't you see the reminder?
  It s always recommended to create the recovery disk!

  > I've heard to restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disk, right?
  Yes, you are right. In order to restore the Vista, you must use the recovery disc!

  > The original system is vista. When I tried to insert a xp disc, it showed error after all the loading "stop: 0x0000007b...". "Could someone tell me how to handle?
  I think that it does not work because of controller SATA HDD.
  Either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS)
  Or you must include the Windows XP SATA drivers.

  Errors: Several, especially related to the missing .msi TrayApp, status and DocProc files.  Some of them are on other Windows logon are call center solutions HP or by selecting the scan function.

  Changes: Do not change when the errors using the started HP Solution Center, probably after an update or install, but could not have used quite close to associate the change.  Print function has always worked without error and the analysis function is used less frequently.  Have tried repeatedly during the uninstalling and reinstalling.  Have used the System Mechanic to try to erase the registry HP errors reported.  Have seen some HP Solution Center errors before but have always been able to reinstall to remove.

  Problem: Cannot connect to Windows without error.  Cannot start HP Solution Center without errors.  The HP solutions Center opens and functions, but the text is missing.  Can't scan from the center of solutions without errors, but tests eventually work.

  Hi JohnZNC,

  There are a set of "scrubbers" that appear in your installation directory, which can carry out varying amounts of clean-ups/uninstall.

  The deepest is a "uninstall L4' and and is launched by exectuing the 'Uninstall_L4_64.bat' file (double click should suffice).

  These files are in the subdirectory '\util\ccc', is usually found in c:\program Imaging\ of Hewlett-Packard...

  Find the "Uninstall_L4_64.bat" file, then double-click on it to get the course of cleaning.

  Hope this helps
