  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, 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.

• HyperBowl will not start in XP SP3 / cannot install Windows update KB924867 (service pack is newer than the update...)

  original title: hyperbowl will not start in XP SP3 / cannot install KB924867

  Hello

  I just reinstalled windows XP and done all the updates. I then reinstalled hyperbowl 3d and it will not open up. Now it used to be that if you ran the update:

  Update for Windows XP (KB924867) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=6446

  It would solve this problem (see http://hyperbowl3d.com/oldsupport.html).

  I downloaded the update, and it says:

  "Setup has detected that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying"

  So I can't install the update. Is it possible to reinstall this hotfix without remove SP3 or is there another work around, I can use?

  Thanks in advance!

  Welcome & thank you for your comments.

  Cannot install Windows 7 on Envy 14-1211nr of HP recovery disc sent twice

  The Recovery Manager starts well. He correctly completed the following steps:
  1 format HDD

  2. copy the files from the CD to the drive. It copies all the 3 CD.

  Then he ask the driver (the 4th CD) CD. Once I have this CD, then after awhile I get messge below:

  Contact HP support

  In most cases, recover the hard disk will solve your problems.

  If your problem persists, you may have to contact HP support. Find details of support HO in the documentation of your PC.

  After that I see above meaage the only button I can click is "Finish". Once I click on finish, then in a minute, I get a message that "recovery completed successfully.

  The laptop restarts and displays the message on the screen "Bootmger" not found

  I called HP support and asked to run the hard drive and memory test and he succeeded.

  I can install windows on another CD I have with.

  But I can't install WIndows using the recovery CD, I received from HP. It's the 2nd CD series that I received these don't work or the other.

  I have two identical laptops. Tried installing on both and having the same problem on both.

  Can you please help with this.
  HP sends fake CDs?

  Hello

  Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.

  Hi Nnrmalata,

  1. you are trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

  2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Boot from GPT is only supported for 64-bit of Windows 7 on UEFI-based systems.

  For more details, refer to this link:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

  If your computer does not support UEFI, back up your important data to an external drive and delete all partitions on hard drives and create a new partition.

  (a) start from the Windows 7 DVD

  (b) click on install now

  (c) in the configuration screen, click Custom (Advanced)

  (d) click on drive Options

  (e) select the partitions to format

  (f) click on Format - this will erase EVERYTHING on this partition

  (g) create a new partition, and then select a partition to install Windows on.

  (h) follow the on-screen instructions and install Windows.

  Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  You can check the link for reference:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799232 (WS.10) .aspx

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If above did not help, please refer to the steps in this link.

  Note: Backup your important data to an external drive

  Change a Table of Partition GUID drive on a main boot drive

• Cannot install Windows on disk 0 partition 1

  Hi, I replaced my hard drive on my laptop, the new hard drive is empty and I want to install windows 7 on it, but I get the error windows cannot install on disk 0 partition 1, I can't format, install windows on it or anything.

  If the two different versions of window will not complete a format, your hard drive is "defective".

  You should check that:

  (1) the hard drive can be used for a Windows startup disk.  Generally hard less than 2 TB can be used properly.

  (2) find the hard drive diagnostic tests, the hard training web site of the manufacturer and follow the signs to test your hard drive.

  3) search your computer / web site of the manufacturer of the motherboard for a BIOS update.  There could be a 'solution' that could fix your current problem.

  You can buy a new drive hard so as to "bypass" the 'steps' to solve the problems of hard drive.

• Cannot install Windows 10 OSX Boot Camp 10.11.8

  I wonder if a solution was developed for the installation of 10 64-bit Windows in Boot Camp again.  I have a hard drive 3 TB of fusion that I partitioned (1 TB for Windows 10) via Boot Camp.   When I start the computer in Windows install (on thumb drive) and choose the partition to install Windows 10 in, I get a message that the partition is formatted in GPT not NTFS.  I click on the format button, but it loop back to that error message about TPG.

  I get no further than that.

  I left and I restarted the mac OSX, entered the windows to manually thinking NTFS partition partitioning regular and formatted program that it would solve the problem.

  When I rebooted on the thumb drive and restarted the Windows installation, I got the same error (INCORRECT FORMAT).

  I read about the solutions of terminal mode using Linux command, but hey, Boot Camp should take care of this without all this extra work that could potentially break the fuser unit I am correct?

  Or is this a Microsoft problem because the format function does not work in the Windows Installer?

  If anyone can help us with that, I would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

  what you need to do are:

  1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

  2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

  3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

  4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

  5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

  6. then will show all disks in your system.

  7. continue with the installation process.

  hope this helps.
