  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

• Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

  I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

  I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

  Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

  Hi, Mark:

  I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

  The best way to install the driver is as follows...

  Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

  With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my A110-178

  People,

  I am in possession of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to know if I can install Windows Vista on this laptop? And what version, Home Basic, home premium, ultimate or business.

  Kind regards

  Tim Snijckers

  Hello Tim

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

  Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.

• Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? No need to install Windows Vista

  Hello
  I'm new to this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in the Brazil. I have a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
  To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
  You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.

  Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:

  And here is an example of the use of backgrounds animated with Windows Vista, deskscapes called dreamscene.
  It is in pause mode

  To perform a new installation of windows Vista:

  Please, download drivers Toshiba RAID here:
  http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/RAID.rar

  1 copy the contents of this archive on a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
  3. turn on your computer and press F12 to display the start menu.
  4. Select the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
  5. on the first Setup screen, choose your language options, and then press "next".
  6. press on "install now".
  7 type your product key and then press "next".
  8. accept the license terms by checking the box, then press "next".
  9. when he asked "which type of installation that you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
  10. when it is asked "Where do you want to install Windows?", make sure that your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, and then click on "Load driver".
  11. navigate to the location you copied the RAID drivers then press 'OK '.
  12. the installation program will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
  13 make sure that the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected, and then press "next".
  14. continue the installation of Windows Vista as usual.

  Now, you will need drivers Toshiba for your Qosmio G20:
  See the information of Device Manager:
  http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg

  Drivers:
  1. SD memory controller

  And finally the Toshiba Utilities:

  So, I say to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.

• Qosmio G30-176: BSOD when installing Windows Vista Edition full

  I have my wisdom(??!!) I bought a Toshiba Qosmio g30-176 with preinstalled Windows XP MCE 2005. The plan was to install Windows Vista Ultimate on drive D: (do the dual machine boot XP & Vista). I've updated the BIOS today on the Toshiba site and I ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.

  I started the upgrade of Vista (custom) and installed the Toshiba RAID drive C: Qosmio (driver C:\toolscd\raid) driver. Installation starts copying the files from the Vista installation disc. This completes OK.

  The upgrade then continues to "unpack"(?) ". files - part way through this restarting of the o/s.
  To restart the Qosmio stop with the blue screen of death and the "SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" message "STOP: 0x0000006f (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  What is the error?
  What should I do to fix it?
  Thanks - Alan E

• I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

  I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  You are welcome

  If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

  Kind regards

• If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?

  Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.

  It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet

• Re-install Windows Vista Service Pack 1

  Hello, I have recently reinstalled my Windows Vista Home Premium.  Now I am trying to re - install Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

  I had to download it because I couldn't get by a Windows Update.  When I tried to install the Service Pack, I received the following error message: Error Code: 0x8000FFFF.

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7, and then to 10 Windows but I don't think I'll be able to update without Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2.

  Can anyone give me any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I have been unable to install SP1 via windows updates but has been able to do it using the suggestions here:
  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/Windows/en-us/4120f8ff-ae6c-437f-A40D-8d48794d9841/services-Pack-1-for-Vista-Home-Premium-will-not-install?Forum=itprovistasp

  They include two tools running of Microsoft and then by installing SP1 downloaded in a boot environment. After finishing SP2, windows update has provided a new Windows Update Agent, which made it impossible to update. This is my 4th new installation disc from Dell, that started because of this same update to Windows Update Agent. I'm about to give up. If you try to install, I would set a restore point before doing so.
