  Hey LauraR1991

  you already have a license of vista

  The acer recovery disks are to reinstall vista on how you purchased your computer

  If the disks from acer that you aren't below recovery disks link is to buy vista directly at acer recovery disks

• How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

  Hello

  I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

  I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

  -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

  . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

  is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

  Thank you

  Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

  If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

  Hard drives fail for two reasons...

  1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
  2. The spindle motor breaks down.

  The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

  Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

  If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

• 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

  Hi Rob,

  You must install first Windows XP and upgrade to Windows Vista.

  If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, after you install Windows XP you can contact support for Microsoft's Activation to activate the copy of Windows XP.

• Activation of Windows Vista after replacing the hard drive

  I'm unable to activate windows after having my hard drive replaced. The portable station to my Windows Vista Home installed school, when my computer was originally Windows Vista Business. When I try to use Windows Activation, all options tells me that my product key is not valid for Windows Vista Home Edition. However, the steps to find a phone number to call for the activation require me to enter a product key, and then find the phone number from there. Because I can not clear the checkpoint, I can activate Windows or find a phone number to call. My computer has been purchased through my school, so I don't have a Windows Vista Business install disc, it automatically installs through the recovery disks. I could back up everything and then use the recovery disks, but I was wondering if there was another way to use the product key, I have, or to communicate with Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  the product key you have is for Vista Business, not the House

  without a product key for home which must be provided by your school or purchased by you (no longer sold) will not be activated

  as you bought the computer and operating through your school system, these are the people to talk about this

  and if they provided you with recovery disks when you bought originally, they are used to boot from to reinstall the original operating system

• Impossible to reinstall Vista on a new hard disk for Pavilion dv9700t

  Hello.

  Recently, the hard drive on my Pavilion dv9700t (p / n: KL086AV) began to fail.  So I bought a new hard drive and created the recovery disc (I didn't realize that I had to their creation until now, but I got lucky and my computer handed her long enough to do so).

  However, when I installed the new hard drive and tried to launch the recovery discs, I received the message, "this PC is not supported by system recovery disks.  You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

  I have vista 32 bit, my old hard drive was 320 GB and a new one, I bought is a Seagate 500 GB.

  Through researching this problem, I came across different answers.  Some say that the size of the hard drive must be the same, others say recovery discs do not work on a new drive hard unless a special action is taken by a technician, and some say that there is no problem at all.

  I can't find any consistent information on this problem.  All the tips, I would much appretiate.  Thank you in advance!

  Hello:

  Sometimes the discs just do not work.

  I have not met a problem where if you have a bigger drive they don't work, but if you get a smaller drive as an SSD, so it's almost a sure bet that they do not work.

  As I see it, you have two choices: buy a set of HP recovery disks, if they are available and hope they work.

  Or if you can read your Vista product key on the sticker COST MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc.

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

• Relocation of recovery vista after erasing the hard drive with DBan

  Pavilion dv6707us laptop, Vista Home Premium 32 bit

  I deleted the whole hardrive, including the recovery partition D with DBan.  Unfortunately, the recovery disks that I made will not restore Vista.  They work up to "Restoring presets.  Is there anyway to make this work without the recovery partition D?  If I order at hp recovery disks they will give me a full recovery or will I have the same problem without partition D?

  Thank you

  recovery media ordered from HP has nothing to do with the partition d. recovery media a full OS, drivers, and applications. This HP support removes all partitions and restore the device to factory settings (no data for sure).

  If you have trouble using media, created by you, please order one at HP.

  It will be useful.

  The operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image has already been activated so the new activation should not be possible and necessary!

  Don t know what is the problem here, but I recommend you to reinstall the operating system once more using Toshiba Recovery disk (I hope that you have created in the past)
