    I am ing try to reinstall windows vista Home premium on my hp pavilion dv2000us. I have delivered my Hp disc 5. When I insert the disk I get message saying that I need to install device drivers. To install the driver, you need to access the hard disk, insert the instillation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Could be on a floppy disk, CD, Dvd, or USb flash drive.  I don't have anything with this information. I also met a message saying saying that the Boot Manager is missing or damaged.  During the instilliation, it says that I need device drivers.  Can you help me find the drivers and reinstall the Boot Manager.

  • Install Vista Home Premium Toshiba Recovery disk

    Hello

    I question: is it possible to install Vista recovery disk without erase all data on the HARD drive and destroy the current configuration partition?

    Question II: Is it possible to to somehow 'get' the installation of Vista from Toshiba recovery disc files,
    integrate em with SP1 and train a separate Vista installation disc?

    Question III: How much space do you think I should spare for the primary partition for Vista OS only (file and all the other software will be on other partitions)?

    (1) No, it is not possible to install Vista from the Toshiba Recovery disk without format the whole HARD drive.
    You can only use the HARD drive recovery feature if you don t want to erase the whole HARD drive. Then only the first partition is erased.

    (2) No, this is not possible. The recovery disk contains factory settings in an image and you can change something. You must install SP1 after installing Windows.

    (3) you must use the 15 or 20 GB for the system partition, but if you reinstall Vista, you reinstall all of the programs. So you can install all the programs on the first partition.
    Here is a useful article on the Vista partition Manager:

  • Where can I find the download of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1?

    I did a full restore in Win Vista Home Premium from recovery disks.  When you set the computer, I enabled Windows Update before remembered me that I had to also download Vista Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2.  Windows Update had already downloaded and installed 100 updates before I remembered.

    Now, I can't find a download site for Vista Service Pack 1 and 2 on the Windows site.  Every link I click on that is inactive.

    Can someone tell me where to go for Vista SP1 and SP2 downloads now that Vista is no longer supported?

    Any other ideas?

    Should I still SP1 and SP2?  This computer will serve as my husband for basic e-mail, IE8 and preparation of simple Word documents.  He'll have Norton 360 installed.

    Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions or advice.  Rookie mistake - I knew that Vista is no longer supported, but I never imagined that I could not download as basic as the SP1 and SP2 to Windows.  I hope that I simply found the location of the 'magic' yet.

  • Reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium without CD (broken CD player)

    My mother needs to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion, but cannot use the CD because the CD player is broken. I read that there is a way to make it through a hidden partition, but I did find something that gives clear step by step I can follow. If someone has done what can give me a clear set of guidelines? Is it safe to use option? I remember that you try to use a hidden partition on my old Dell, but it failed and I ended up having to borrow a CD. I won't make the same mistake on his computer, where with the help of a CD is not an option.

    Also, are there - other - options, such as reinstalling from a USB stick or something? If so, how do you go?

    Thank you

    May

    You can only use the hidden partition option if your HP was origonally provided with a hidden restore partition. HP support for your specific model site should have the instructions.

    Default you would either need to replace the failed drive, use a third party external cd drive, or depending on your HP, you can copy the complete installation cd to a USB key then boot from the USB key to install (if supported by your HP) or finally your HP with another PC on the network can install via the other PC cd drive

  • Windows 7 on Vista Home premium! How to re install Vista on HP Pavilion

    He did to recover my laptop a virus attached and there after I can't able to re instal Vista now on my laptop. What should do?

    I tried several versions and spend hundreds of Dollars may with these technicians.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    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 do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

Tried the 2nd HDD, reset the BIOS, 2nd set of disks, H/p unable to fix without sending any box and pay more than it is worth. I have all receipts and simply want a legitimate o/s that I can restore.

    Hello

    The problem is not with Windows, it's a hardware error OR you do not have the right Vista HP OEM
    installation media.

    1. check that the disks you have are correct for this model of CV. HP can sell you cheap the
    installation media real cheap since you already own windows.

    2. Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (at both ends, where this is possible)-in fact
    delete and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and make sure that the vents are clear.

    By chance the need to re - install caused by malware?

    Hope this helps and happy holidays.
