Used to install Windows

• I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did. These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

  My computer came with Windows 7.  Recently, my hard drive failed.  I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did.  These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

  YES!

  I just did mine 01/01/2016, installed a new WD 500 GB HDD black on my laptop ASUS K52F, took my DVD 4 restore disks and restored to Win 7 Home Premium, more 10 Windows, which is sitting on my old HDD in the trash. I'll stick with my Original OEM OS and never improve to WIN 10 times.

  NOTE: The only time the restore disks do not work is when you replace your motherboard.

• recover my system. used to install Windows Vista. get the message cannot open the file E:\Sources\Install.wim. Also the code error 0 x 80070002

  So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
  After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.
  When I try to repair, he said "select an operating system to repair, and then click Next."
  Operating System: Windows Vista (TM) Home Basic (recovered)
  Partition Size: 34318 MB
  Location: (D :) ACER
  If you do not see your operating system listed, click on load drivers to load the drivers for your hard drives. I try to select Windows Vista retrieved and clicked Next, but what is said "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair" or get a recovery of tools such as repair system, System Restore, complete pc windows, tool windows and command promy memory diagnostic restoration. the only problem is he says operatins system: (unknown) unknown local disk...

  Any help would be appreciated. Really want to give my friend a laptop that wont even turn on. Laughing out loud

  Was it Neosmart?

  This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!
  You use the repair disk option, not Install.

  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.

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

  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; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 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

• I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?

  I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.

  Short answer 'NO '.

  Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

• Used to install Windows Vista SP2. Error 0x8004100a

  Hello

  I know I'm a little late to this but I have never tried to install SP2 before that never came. I now need to install for a new part and for the life of me I can't make it work.
  I am currently running Windows Vista SP1 32 bit on an Intel E8400 Core2Duo with 4 GB of memory and a lot of HARD drive space.
  I downloaded SP2 and tried to install (downloaded because it has never been available via Windows Update)-all I get is before trying to install anything even really is "an unknown error occurred, error 0x8004100a.
  I then installed system update readiness tool, which is listed as installed successfully. All other updates available had already been installed. I disabled my antivirus and subsequently disabled it and all the other programs startup, restarted, and I still get the same error. I stopped all non-microsoft services and no change.
  For the life of me and with the hours spent searching google, I can not know how else to install this SP2. Are there other things I need to do?
  Thank you

  Hello Alex

  There are a few suggestions for this particular error on troubleshooting forums. Here's a suggestion is given by another Member of the forum who have worked for others. Refer also to the KB down concerning the specific error code that you gave. Thank you

  SP2 was offered through Windows Update? If this isn't the case, then it might suggest that the laptop was not ready.

  FYI

  Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation via Windows Update

• What type of license a repair shop must use to install windows on the computer of the customer

  PC repair shop

  I want to open the computer repair workshop, what license type should I buy to install windows to my clients, or should be with the new copy of Microsoft Windows

  If you are computer repair, your customers must already have their own Windows licenses. Simply put a warning that your customers must provide their relocation drive and would put their owners manual when they send their computers for repair.

  If you build computers for resale, you should look into OEM System Builder licenses.

• I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. I don't have the product key. What can I do?

  Please

  I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. only I have the key to product label I can do?

  also my frist question is that if I install this version (xp sp3) with my product key, it will be legal?

  The downloaded file CANNOT BE USED TO INSTALL WINDOWS.

  It is not a question of legal or non-legal.  The file you download is not complete.  The downloaded file will update an existing installation of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  Right click on my computer, then select Properties.  The screen say for your version of Windows, including Service Pack?

  Re-installation of Windows may or may not be the right solution for your problems.  If you want to re - install Windows, read this article on the Toshiba site--> http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/outFrm.jsp?ofId=AskIris&searchString=restore+windows+xp&x=7&y=9 in particular the section titled "using the recovery partition Toshiba HDD recovery utility '
