  I bought the HP Pavilion dv6z-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with installed OS Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

  There are recovery Partiton (drive D). I have not at any drive recovery. There were a few errors in the operating system later and I installed some other cd of vista vista. I got to the recovery partition. Now I want to restore vista recovery partiton present on my hard drive. I run the System Restore Wizard, but there is no option to restore the D drive system. It gives only the option restore from restorepoint. Please tell me how to restore from recovery partation. Best regards

  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, with HP you will need to press F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

• 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.

  You can try the repair Forum.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

  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

• Unable to change the base installation of Windows Vista Edition language family by using the restore Vista DVD

  I have Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile (laptop) with pre installed Windows Vista Home basic. It is in the English language.

  When I want to re-installed Vista using (supplied with Labtop) restore DVD, after the installation, it is in Arabic. I tried to change this language but I can't. Could you please help to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You will need to contact Fujitsu about this.

  You cannot change languages with Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.

  You can have a different result if you try reinstalling using this method.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• How to restore Vista on old Satellite P300?

  Sorry it's a long.

  I bought a new P70 to replace my old P300 that came with Vista and I now want to give it a new facility for the children to use. The problem is that I had partitioned the disk and had tested the betta and the version RC1 of Windows 7 before its release and he also had XP, now I can't get on the recovery drive holding the 0 key and did not have the repair option on the splash screen advanced when using the F12 key. I know that the Recovery partition is still there because I saw it when using a disk partitioning tool before you make changes and I'm deleting it.

  After what I read I think that drive hidden (EISA Configuration) that holds the BCD, stored options for the 0 key and the menu key F12. I made backup discs when I arrived at the origin of the laptop and checked well records, but when I went to use it, they have been declared as corrupt so the only other option I had was the images I made with another program but cannot boot from the disc I made and I guess it's because of SATA drivers Win 7 could not be started or until what I injected drivers, just do not remember how I got them in the disk imaging.

  So, if anyone knows where the option for the 0 key is stored, and I assume it's in the BCD himself, someone know how to recover it or re - write? The other option I can think is how the recovery partition is enabled and try to do otherwise. My oldest son has a more recent P300, is it possible to copy the BCD and its player hidden files to start mine? The other thing is when you restore from the recovery partition you need a Windows product key or is already stored on the recovery partition because I can never remember having seen one and I'm not one for my new P70.

  Any ideas?

  After these modifications and tests with your P300, you will not be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility more. This works if the laptop has only factory settings.

  Now, there's only one way to install the original use of Vista recovery disks. I m afraid you didn't create these disks, right?

  Anyway, Satellite P300 is well known to me and my brother has the same machine. We updated with new SSD and installed Win7 on it. It works like a rocket. So my advice to you is to install Win7 on this machine. All the necessary drivers, the tools and the utilities that you can find on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  If you need help with it let me know.
  One more thing: the product key at the bottom belongs to the original version of Vista and it cannot be used for activation Win7.

• Satellite L305D-S5938: factory settings restore Vista or Win7

  Hello. Please excuse me if this question has an obvious answer.
  Sorry if this has already been asked before.

  I bought my computer until Windows 7 came out (around August 2009), so he came originally with Vista, and a CD to upgrade came in the mail.

  I upgraded to Windows 7 for some time and used without incident.
  However, one day the computer froze and I had to force-stop it. When I tried to reboot, it gave me an error saying that it lacked a critical file and I need to insert an installation disc. I looked online and tried to start the upgrade CD and a CD of retrieval from the internet. Right now the recovery CD "tried to fix" my computer for the last 20 hours ago, and I'm starting to think it never ends.
  ---
  So my question is, if I restore to factory settings, it will restore to Vista or will be automatically somehow supported the installation of Windows 7.

  If it goes back to Vista, and I reinstall Windows 7 with upgrade CD, I'm afraid that it will not activate correctly because I did once before. So if I reset to factory settings, I will be able to use new Windows 7?

  A response would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  > if I restore to factory settings, it will restore to Vista or will be automatically somehow supported the installation of Windows 7.

  Personally, I've never used Windows Vista upgrade to 7 using the upgrade disc. But I think that if you restore the factory settings, you will get back to Vista and then upgrade to win 7 with a cd you received in the mail.

  >, I fear that it will not activate correctly because I did once before

  You can activate as many times as you want :) have no problem with him. Note that you must save all things necessary before restoring the factory as local settings. you be wiped.

• Satellite A300-1QD - how to restore Vista preinstalled?

  Hey,.

  I made a big mistake, two years ago. I installed windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1QD but on the laptop Windows Vista was installed and I have no recovery disk, but I have the original serialnumber of it.

  Are there opportunities to put Windows Vista on the laptop without buying a new version of Windows Vista?

  Hello

  If you don t have a recovery disk, you must order such a Toshiba drive directly to restore preinstalled Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings):

  But it s not free as far as I know it costs about 30 Euros.

  So I t understand why you didn't create the recovery disc yourself. Everything is mentioned in the user manual

• Portege R500: Cannot restore Vista using Toshiba recovery disks

  I downgraded Vista to XP loaded factory.
  However, I would now like to restore back to Vista.

  I have disc 1 & 2 ' product Recovery DVD-Rom; Portege R500 disks.
  They are also marked "Windows Vista Business (SSD/PATA)" has been provided by Toshiba.

  I don't know how to use these discs to restore my operating system to Windows Vista. When I insert disc 1 and after loading some files, a message "cannot read the file source or disk - Preinst2.SWM" and I can not go any further.

  An instruction step by step would be greatly appreciated

  I wonder why you receive two recovery disks. As far as I know Toshiba Vista Recovery image is stored on a DVD.
  Perhaps you have received two CD

  In any case, have you tried to boot from the second disk? I mean the second recovery CD?

  Usually, recovery is not very sensitive. You must boot from the disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

  The error cannot read from the source file or disk - Preinst2.SWM looks like a little to the Conference on disarmament would not readable or the CD/DVD drive would not read the disc properly.

• Not possible to choose the partition to restore Vista CD installation

  Hello!

  Is there a normal way to install VHP on my laptop? It is quite annoyng, that the only way to install vista recovery dvd is to choose the size of the destination partition and to break all other partitions present on the disk during installation. Or maybe I'm wrong?

  If this is the only way, so maybe it's possible to get an installation normal dvd with Vista Home Premium? When you buy a laptop, I had no idea that the normal user are treated that way... like some being thoughtless. As for now, I can only say, that I bought with my knees some useless peace of software rather than an operating system...

  Kind regards.

  You're right orzech. The Vista recovery CD erase the drive HARD whole during the recovery procedure.
  But as already posted in another thread, you must know that the recovery CD is designed to put the computer laptop back to factory settings!
  What are the factory settings?
  The laptop came with preinstalled operating system and drivers Toshiba, utility tools.
  So you get this laptop State even after using the recovery CD!

  > If it's the only way, then maybe it's possible to get a normal installation DVD with Vista Home Premium
  You could buy an original CD of Microsoft Vista and could use this operating system for the installation of the laptop.
  Pilots should be available on the Toshiba site.

  By the way; the original CD of Microsoft Vista supports a backup data option.
  Vista allows you to create a backup of the system. If something goes wrong, you will be able to boot from the Vista CD and can select the created backup files to restore the operating system

• Satellite A300-1lT - I want to restore Vista with recovery option

  Hello world

  With my Toshiba nothing but problems. First of all, I waited replacement screen for months cause it wasn t all at the warehouse. K, after that I went down to XP but pilot are buggy, sound is poor, cannot get USB 2.0 to work, the system is slower that Vista so I decided to go back to Vista.

  But of course, there is no DVD so I need to restore via the restoration of HARD drive folder that I have. But cool, Toshiba doesn't let me to download the utility to create a backup DVD. So what can I do? I have HDD Recovery folder, how now create DVDs without utility that first of all they gave me.

  PS.
  You can say s not Toshiba fault; you did that blah blah. Of course, but first I waited replacement screen, I have original Vista DVD by wasn t given, I can't even download Toshiba utility. What sad piece of equipment. I have the experience, my first OS installed was BACK and Win95, many OS installation, after that, but I install back my OS in 2009 would not be hoping that its going to happen.

  All the ideas you good ppl

  Sorry mate, but in this case you need a new recovery disk. The HDD Recovery folder is not useful to you because you do not have Windows Vista and as you already know that the Toshiba recovery disc creator cannot be downloaded.

  You must order a new disc of a Toshiba authorized service provider directly:
  [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  To be honest, this is not a problem of Toshiba. If you start the laptop for the first time, you get the following message and should not be ignored:

  + Important INFORMATION +.
