Vista Gone - no OS found

original title: Gone to Vista

I had a virus on my laptop which made me be necessary to restart the whole system when I tried, it wiped out the operating system and I can go this far to turn it on and receive error messages do not have an operating system. What should I do?

Hello

Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Satellite L300D-13s Realtek 8187 b - downgraded to vista, no network not found!

    Okay, the laptop L300D-13s, the wireless network adapter is identified right, like USB 2.0.

    Vista was on the laptop, but I immediately wiped and put XP, as Toshiba really should have in the first place. The Toshiba driver can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site. This installs.

    Once everything is configured, using XP zero wireless integrated uility, a bubble appears in the system tray indicating "one or more wireless networks are available..." "etc.

    However when you open the XP WLAN utility, some networks are never found. Power management has been tried in various forms and the switch is on the FN + F8 does not affect the ability to basically never find a wireless network. There is a problem somewhere.

    The drivers from www.realtek.com.tw do not operate on this card in this Toshiba laptop - it is said that the hardware is not compatible. However, as mentioned, install the drivers from the Toshiba site, but can't find any wireless networks.

    I've used NetStumbler - that use a basic default NDIS driver loading the application and find networks. It is just a "sniffer" for the WLAN, cannot use this to connect.

    It can't be just me certainly facing this problem? I have tried most things related to uninstall/reinstall the drivers from Toshiba Web site, that specifically say they are compatible with XP. Any help is appreciated. I'm much educated WLAN and have tried everything I can think of-although admittedly I have not disassembled the laptop computer and deleted/replaced the card again.

    Hello

    Just a question;
    Did you create the disc of recovery before you erased the HARD drive?

    I ask because you need to update the BIOS first before installing Windows XP.
    Usually, the BIOS should be updated to running the OS preinstalled Toshiba but maybe you're a lucky guy and the update of the BIOS will work running Win XP.

    However, as I said, updating the BIOS, then download driver Realtek WLan (REALTEK RTL8187B 802.11(B/G)) Realtek page and install again.

    Then check if the wireless network card can be recognized and if you can establish the WiFi connection

  • 32-bit installation issues - Vista Entry Point not found error

    I'm doing a clean install of Windows Vista 32 Bit in Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4). When the installation asks you which drive I would install windows for, as I have Sata drives running of a Sata/RAID controller card he asked pilots. Any version of this driver, I offer for this installation fails with the following error "Windows Installer: setup.exe - Entry Point not found - the procedure entry point LZClose could not be found in KERNEL32.dll dynamic link library ' I have a Silicon Image Sil 3513 SATALink PCI controller that manages my hard drives. The same drivers worked well to install Windows 2000. As I upgrade to Vista version I can only run through the windows so I could not try and see if it will install directly from DOS.

    Thank you

    James

    Found a solution. I use the Windows Vista upgrade version & thus tried to install through Windows 2000. However Win 2 k interfaces drives in a different mode of Vista, while he was in conflict. I solved the problem by installing Vista via the bootable disc.

    Now just to find the compatible drivers for my asus motherboard and aircraft... Grrrr I'm sure I got this Vista computer previously without all these headaches...

  • Question on the display resolution of Vista on Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E)

    There was my laptop today for the Vista upgrade patterns. Found the drivers ok, but the Nvidia drivers from Toshiba for the 7600 light only support the max resolution of 1024 x 768 on a screen 17 "wide. I looked on Nvidia and there is none for Vista for the maps in the series go.

    Any ideas or is the game of waiting, both for Vista capable?

    Hello

    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and found the version of nVidia 9.7.4.8 display driver.
    It seems that the pilot was transferred to 15/03/07 and it seems that there is a newer version.
    Well, the laptop supports without a doubt a higher screen resolution so as you say the wait for the new driver could be the key

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Vista on your laptop. I installed Vista on my old A50 and it works. OK, I m not able to use the extra features such as Aero for example but the operating system is running.

    The driver is a bit tricky simply said, there are no Vista drivers published, I found a few singles Vista drivers on some sites of s manufacturer of device but at the moment, there is no drivers for this laptop Toshiba.

    PS: on the site of Toshiba Canada, I found the only drivers for some new laptops Toshiba:

  • Satellite Pro A300-1NT - need drivers Vista 64-Bit

    Hello

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1NT, which came with Windows Vista 32 - Bit pre installed and a XP Recovery disk.
    I bought the 64 bit Vista edition, but I found all the drivers for Vista 64-bit on your website if it is 64-bit capable.

    How can I get them?

    Hello

    It seems that 64-bit Vista for A300 series drivers are not available on the page of the European driver Toshiba at this time.

    That's why you have two options;
    Either you will wait until these drivers will be published on the website of pilot or you try to collect these drivers to your own hand.
    You can search and try for example such single drivers out for another series of notebook and could search also site of manufacturers of chips like Intel, Realtek, etc.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100-413: need extra Vista driver to use SRS Truesound

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-413. As some or most of you know, this laptop is equipped with Harman/Kardon speakers and requires software SRS Trusound use the capabilities of the speakers.

    I used to have Windows XP on my laptop and speakers were running without any problem.

    However, last weekend, I opted for Vista (business). I found most of the required drivers for Vista. However, the only pilot that I can't find is one for my speakers. I installed the audio drivers, but need an additional driver for the srs.

    Can someone help me on this topic?

    Hello

    There is no any driver for the speaker s feature. What you're talking about is just a tool that allows different sound settings. As far as I know that his tool is called virtual sound. I have it on my Satellite M70 too.

    I checked the Toshiba download page and virtual sound really isn't there. I don't understand not why, but in the past, I noticed that the missing things appear sooner or later. Check the download page from time to time. Maybe you'll find it soon.

    Hi sand

    The brightness of the buttons don t work because necessary Vista drivers are not installed or are missing.

  • Installation of a dual boot for XP on a Vista - XP installation computer forget the SATA drive after restart required #1

    Hello

    I'm trying to set up a dual-boot XPpro on my Vista machine.  I found the instructions detailed at various locations.  I prepared a score of 30G on my SATA drive and booted from my XPpro and XPpro (SP2) retail drives.  The score is quite small because I have only use for some applications.

    I have the following problem and I wonder if anyone can help.  The disk and partition is by my SP2 disc, but it's ok that BONE is not used on any other machine.

    I can choose the new partition as the location for the new installation of XP.

    Installation gets to the point where the first reboot is required, then at startup, I'm stuck on the option 'press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  I assume that the reader is not detected.  If I try to start from scratch, I get the warning that the new partition already has an operating system on it, but I can reformat and move forward, then arrive at the startup problem re.

    There is no XP drivers for my Board, but I can not install them because they are on CD and the only option to load the specific drivers in the first part of install required has a diskette is in the drive, and of course I don't have a floppy drive.

    I then use the Startup Repair in Vista I can't move to the stage where XP is installed in fact correctly.

    Any help very welcome!

    Hello

    I made a disc of slipstream with nLite as suggested, my sata drivers included but still could not circumvent this problem.  Installation kept insisting that they had to come from A:

    Rather than taking the box to bits I read from the link posted by Michael Murphy, once again and found the answer of Taydius on 250/1 posts.

    http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-26-1946.html

    Problem solved by installing EasyBCD in Vista, it points to the new partition with the inaccessible XP and reboot and selection, installation on board as usual.

    Dual boot now works fine.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.
