• I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through. Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

  I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through.  Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

  Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

  Forget the two laptops.
  I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
  The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

  Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

  See you soon

  Hello

  Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
  To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

  Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
  Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
  Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  Maybe it would work

  I am trying to reinstall Vista Ultimate and it will not complete the installation. I just had my hard drive replaced with a new drive from Western Digital. The computer loads fine installation. She saw the new drive. I created a partition and formatted the drive and clicked next to the installation. It goes to the screen next where he hangs up on copying them files and displays a message saying that it cannot prepare the computer for the next step and restart the installation. I done it twice now and got the same thing. How do the installation to proceed?

  Hi dgeffers,

  Please see the troubleshooting following thanks to Thahaseena M, the technical support engineer:

  I suggest you to disconnect all external devices that are connected to the system such as (printers, scanners, etc.) and see if the problem is resolved.

  This occurs mainly, if the system (hardware or software) is not compatible with the operating system that you are trying to install on the system. I suggest you to format the partition in which you try to install Windows Vista, and then check if you are able to install the operating system or not.

• Bsod IRQL when you attempt to reinstall Vista

  • Trying to reinstall Vista on a formatted hard drive, I get a BSOD, if I put in the disk of Vista I choose install, etc and get where she asks you which partition you want to use. It then continues to the first of several listed as follows to install Vista first being «analyze"the «...» "to show you that it is doing something more. After a few minutes it freezes and the BSOD error "irql_not_less_or_equal" This could be enough info to help me somehow, or that I have to write the 0x0000... It gives me at the bottom of the BSOD?

  Hello

  Is the drive that you are installing a generic retail Vista disc or one provided by HP? A generic retail disk does not contain the necessary drivers for the HP System.

  IEEE 1394 is commonly known as firewire. This is only a review if you have a firewire port.

• Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

  This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

  I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

  Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

  Help, please.

  «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

  A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

  There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

  Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

  Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

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

  If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

  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

  If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

• reinstalling Vista... error message

  I had a drive failure drive if I had to replace my hard drive on my laptop.  (Dell Inspiron)  After a long search I found a full install of Windows XP pro version.  My original Setup is Vista.  After installation, I realized that I had no drivers and that it cannot go beyond a game on the computer.  After having looked further, I found my full Vista installation software but trying to reinstall Vista, I get the following message: the partition C system has insufficient free space.  Windows installation needs at least 457 MB of space on that partition to install Windows.  Sufficient free space, and then restart the installation.  Error code 0 X 80070070.  I did the bios thing, but it doesn't always start the software.  Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

• 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

• Try to reinstall Vista

  I'm working on a Windows Vista-based computer. I run chkdsk on it and she stopped at 65% made in step 5. I tried to reinstall Vista using the original dvd and it stops at the installation screen how to complete and will not end. I tried reformatting the drive but he never made the installation. You have any suggestions for me to try next?

  Access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site.

  They normally have the Diagnostic software that you can download.

  Then test the hard drive for problems.

• Failure to reinstall Vista, now my laptop will not boot.

  Hi, first off thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, which I've tried to reinstall Vista, installation seemed to go fine until what seemed the last step where it says "installation complete" how it seemed to make no progress even after a few hours.  Then, I turned off my laptop and rebooted.  Once restarted, it I got a message saying that the installation has failed and it had rendered Vista how it was before the installation.  Then I tried to install Vista for a second time and had the same thing happen, the only difference being that the first time when asked if I wanted to connect to the internet to get updates when installing I said no, and the second time, I said yes.

  After the installation failed for the second time I tried to restart and my laptop could not start, she doesn't have to the Windows screen with the Green scroll bar on the bottom.  I then tried to start in safe mode, and it failed when trying to load crcdisk.sys.  I read that some people with similar problems have been able to boot from the Vista cd, but I had no chance.

  The cd I use is a condition by Dell that says that it is the reinstallation of Vista cd and I have to mention that the optical drive in my laptop stopped working earlier, to remedy this I used an external drive connected via USB.

  I'm stumped on how to solve this problem and what information I found via google has not worked or confuse me helped me more.

  Thank you

  If you continue to have problems with the process of recovery of Dell, contact Dell.

  It's their recovery process, NOT from Microsoft.

  Here's how to use their recovery process:

  Dell recovery options:

  http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DSN/en/document?journalid=67E9C215C4BABD6CE040AE0AB5E14F05&docid=339949

  And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

  See you soon

• Reinstalling Vista on my Inspiron 1720

  For the past 2 days now ive tried to reinstall Vista.  When im at "complete installation" the green progress bar does not move.  After about 30-40 minutes, the screen will turn black, but I'm still able to move the mouse.

  If anyone has a solution, or any entry it would be greatly appreciated.

  Craig.

  Craig.Hewitt,

  Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

  You will need to install the Sata driver. On one of the installation screens is an option to install the drivers on the lower right side of the screen. Choose this option and put the disc Driver of Dell in. The driver, it seeks to install is the Intel Matrix Storage driver. If you need to download this driver and put it on a disc, you can click on the title below.

  Another way to complete the installation without the first installation of the driver is to change the bios setting to ATA. To do this, restart the system and press F2 to enter setup. Once there you can TAB down to the devices on board and press ENTER. Then tab down to SATA Operation. You see at the top of the screen on the right side the ATA and AHCI. Change that to the ATA. Save the changes and exit. Once the system reboots, you should be able to complete the installation. After installation and that you have loaded the drivers, you will need to go into bios and change the setting back to AHCI.
