  1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
  The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.

  2. While the site of the computer manufacturer, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your computer, Partition Recovery and utilization of the partition to restore your computer to factory State.

  3. see if you can find a friend who has a Microsoft Vista Installation DVD. Borrow it and reinstall Vista using your product key from the computer.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

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

  Ask them if you can also make 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, 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

  Hi everyone :)

  I have a Dell Inspiron 15R, and 2 years since I got it and due to the excessive overuse, its performance has become extremely poor. The registry is riddled with problems, and I think it's time for a reboot.

  I don't really know where the drive is, but I should be able to find it.

  First of all, I have a lot of shows and movies. Somewhere around 1.5 to of them. I also have 120 GB of programs. It's clearly too heavy to download everything at once, so I don't want to lose.

  With the program, can I transfer them to an external hard drive and then put everyone back in the program on my HARD drive wiped files and re - run the .exe file?

  Would you recommend buying an SSD and the replacement of my current HARD drive with it?

  Can I use the disk to reset everything on Windows without losing my files? This will fix the registry problem?

  Thank you

  You cannot actually backup installed programs and bring them back, but you can save the actual installation files (.exe, configuration files) and use them to reinstall the programs. So it's a good idea to save them.

  Would you recommend buying an SSD and the replacement of my current HARD drive with it?

  Certainly if you can afford, its faster, makes your programs and Windows start faster.

  Can I use the disk to reset everything on Windows without losing my files? This will fix the registry problem?

  You can perform a custom installation that move your old installation in the folder Windows.old, where you can retrieve your personal files. I still recommend you back up your files separately but and restore them.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  Reinstalling Windows 7.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  or

  F8 when starting the unit

• I have windows\system32\drivers\etc\services how can I get it

  I have windows\system32\drivers\etc\services how do I get it, I need to go up into the clouds

  Hello

  It would be useful if you could answer these questions so that we can help.

  1. what software you use to run backup in the clouds?

  2. don't you get a message about "windows\system32\drivers\etc\services" is missing?

  3 did you go to the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services location to check if the file is present physically?

  Services in the Etc folder file tells services written by Microsoft which port to use, as well as files that wish to use Windows APIs(Application programming interfaces) and/or this file to a service name in a port. These service names are defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering task force).

  Provide us with more information about the issue that you are facing.

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista but the sticker on the laptop product key is not readable.

  My partner has an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. He needs a complete reinstallation of Windows because there a lot of problems now. The problem is the sticker of the product key on the laptop is often illegible. I tried to use the Magic Jelly Bean finder key to resolve this issue, but the key does not match what the letters which are readable on the sticker. I tried this on my own laptop and had the same problem (sticker key did not key on the computer). Neither laptops have had Windows reinstalled before. I learned that the keys posted by Magic Jelly Bean are in fact license keys of Volume factory installed by the OEM rather than found on the stickers product keys and Volume license keys cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  His cell phone doesn't have a recovery disk or a recovery partition, but even if she did, given its current state, a complete reinstallation is what it takes. Her cell phone is not come with a Windows Installation DVD, either, but we can borrow one from a friend who owns a disk with the same version of Windows as his laptop and I know that works perfectly. We just need a way to recover the product key that was on the sticker. We are not ready to buy a new copy of Windows that we already have a license (through the purchase of the laptop) key.

  PS I remember that I helped my father after reinstall Windows XP. We tried both the key on the sticker of his PC and the one that we found on the PC itself (Volume key). In the end, only the key on the sticker has worked. This confirms that a Volume license key cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  Hello

  We cannot help you with your product key and there are no records of loan use

  recovery discs are brand and the specific model

  and product key finder programs will not help you find product keys that you can use vista preinstalled in these circumstances

  to reinstall vista use either disk or recovery partition recovery manufacturer, since they do not normally require an input key product on your part

  The manufacturer must provide a way to reinstal vista or by disk or a recovery Partition

  Contact Acer recovery Vista disc

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  and Acer has a "hidden" recovery partition

  Normally with an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process, or if it is still ongoing, you go to section eRecovery under [programs and search for how to make recovery discs and the use of the recovery partition

• Preinstalled windows 8 so no cd - how can I get the cd

  I have a samsung laptop that came with a preinstalled windows copy 8 However when I installed ubuntu a while ago things I screwed up, and I could not load in windows 8, or ubuntu. In the end, I had to start my laptop with a windows 7 cd. But I want now to windows 8. I do not have a cd with the laptop. How to install a copy genuine windows 8 on my laptop now?

  Thnx in advance.

  Before deleting Windows 8 it would have been an option to create the recovery disks to restore the laptop.

  If you have not corrupted the recovery with Ubuntu partition then pressing the F4 key when display Samsung logo at startup to load the recovery console.

  Windows 8 no longer includes the key of the case if you do not have to reinstall using a disc info. You may need to contact Samsung for the reconfigured disc or buy the set of recovery disks.
