Other methods for the most extreme cases.
You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.
Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.
Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

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.

Vista Home Premium hangs for internet browsing
My Toshiba Satellite falls down while browsing using Internet Explorer 7, 8 and Firefox 3.5 and 3.6. The screen turns black with sometimes a blue bar downstairs, then restarts in 10 seconds approximately. At other times the pixels all scramble and the laptop freezes cause me to hard reboot. Toshiba had wipe me and reload the operating system and other software several times, and now say it is not the laptop, but the operating system.
I tried disabling modules, returning on the older versions of web browsers, as well as to remove and reinstall them altogether. After losing today, the laptop has spent about an hour trying to solve the problem, said he could not and stop. Power on it again later enabled him to start correctly. I dump files and crashed, but Toshiba didn't want them and said to get it from Microsoft.
Help, please.
original title: Vista Home Premium hangs while browsing with Internet Explorer or Firefox
I'm sorry, but not surprised to say that, in my view, that Toshiba is to give you the runaround. From your description, I would say it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You have already restored to the State of the factory several times and the computer should work without problems after a factory restore. If the computer is still under warranty, insist that they take it back and replace hardware components. Your network card is the prime suspect, and since it is in any case on the motherboard, the motherboard should be replaced in this case.
I want to emphasize that you should not take what I wrote as a definitive diagnosis. I can't see or test your computer from here. I give you my opinion on your computer based on my experience as a computer tech and what you have written. If the computer is no longer under warranty, take it to a local professional reputation (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) for diagnosis.

Can I install Windows 7 from Windows Vista Home Premium free for my Toshiba Satellite P205D-S8804
Try to upgrade to Windows 7, someone said: I got this free but could not find any information on how to do... not really even sure if that's a valid possibility at this stage. I just found out that the version of Vista is much slower due to the properties of speech recognition, which I do not use...

Swap from 32-bit to 64-bit Vista Home Premium DVD
Hi all
I have a HP Pavilion dv5-1009tx Entertainment delivered PC preloaded with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. The PC is still under warranty. I want to trade the 32-bit Vista Home Premium which is already installed on the PC with 64-bit Vista Home Premium. For this I would need the 64-bit Vista DVD from HP. Can someone tell me what is better, easier and faster way to get the DVD? I don't want to download torrents etc., because you never know what are the files in them have been tempered with and you can end up installing.
Thank you!
I have 4 GB RAM installed on this laptop. Currently, only 3.2 GB (approx.) is used. The only reson to install a 64 bit OS is to use all 4 GB of RAM. I run Virtual Machines on this laptop for test and training and to be able to use the full amount of RAM would allow me to run virtual machines very comfortably, without getting errors that your system is low on memory.
The speed and performance of this laptop on a 32 bit OS is pretty good. But as mentioned above, it would be good to use what you have.
I have finally manged to get the correct information from HP. They called from their Sydney office and was told that for this particular model, is a 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS pre-loaded on my laptop. They ship not this laptop with a 6-bit version of Vista Home Premium OS, so there is no recovery disk. The only option of 64 bit with this HP laptop is Vista Ultimate, for which I have to buy a license.
So ultimately it information, getting the right information at the right time, otherwise you might end up you are looking for the right things in the wrong places. (It took me 3 times to chat with someone online, called several times HP Service Center, Technical Support, and finally the Service Center people did someone call me Office in Sydney).

Hi S RAGAN,
I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.
From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".
To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.
1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
5. click on OK.
6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.
If the same problem persists then, reset the Windows Update components and check.
To reset the Windows Update components visit the link below and click on solve this button / follow the given steps to repair it yourself.

How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?
My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050. Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid. Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk. What can I do?
The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key. This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system. The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.
If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

I have an Aspire AM5640 - E5500A Q6660 Vista Home Premium that I bought in 2008.
Acer Aspire M5640 AM5640 - E5500A Intel Desktop PC - Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz, 3 GB DDR2, 640GO SATA II, reader Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD-RW, ATI Radeon HD3650, TV Tuner, Gigabit, Vista Home Premium
That's as much detail about what I have that I could find.
My question: is it possible to set up a 64-bit operating system by using the same product key for 32 bit WIndows Vista? Someone told me I could download the 64 bit version and install it. I let one of my data?
The reason why I ask is that I cannot install a 3 to Seagate 3.5 inch HDD internal and integral functions of this player. I get the 1 750 GB and then maybe another 1.3 to using the software of computer management in Control Panel. I can format the full 3 TB using my laptop which is running Windows 7. If I can not install the 64-bit to 32-bit, Windows 7 could solve this problem?
I download Win 7 64 bit and tried to install it on the hard drive 3 TB as a primary drive, but I've only had 760 GB of the disk and computer management couldn't give me the rest. It has been a frustrating month or groping - for most of the errors!
The other problem is that the Windows 7 disk 3 TB lack a coprocessor driver. Can someone tell me where to find one? Update and the Windows 7 disk cannot install a.
Thank you
Lloyd
Disclaimers and Information to forward:
http://community.Acer.com/T5/community-KB/installing-a-different-operating-system/Ta-p/48739product key for 32 bit, you cannot install a 64 bit version of Windows Vista. The keys are different.
The original recovery media will retrieve only the Acer operating system supplied with the system.
Probably you are facing a problem with the architecture of the car, probably 4 blocks Ko, which are not recognized by the system.
