  You already have the manufacturer's recovery disks.
  Recovery disc reinstall Vista and your computer about how you bought.

  You will need to contact your computer manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition on your hard drive.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Recovery discs are made from the recovery Partition, OR provided by the manufacturer, as in your case!

  Here is some general info recovery options.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  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 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

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Install Vista freezes at "completing installation".

  Vista reinstall unsuccessful

  Have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 under VISTA that would not initialize.  Would not meet a boot of VISTA reinstall the CD that came with the device.  Replaced the hard drive with the hard drive to another laptop running Win 7 Dell.  The 1720 started fine in Win7 since the new HARD drive, and all seems well.  So I guess that all the material (and this new HARD drive) are OK.

  Then, I started again the Vista reinstall the CD to get the 1720 and his new HARD drive to an installation of VISTA is legitimate.  At the format of the process to reinstall the HARD disk partition, and install started.  Has been through the steps of copying, in expansion, installation of the features, installation of updates and finally successful at "completing Installation". "we sat for hours.  The HARD drive light is inactive now.  Not easy to life.  Later (at night), the screen goes black with the cursor of the mouse visible and alive.  But not Vista.  Cut off power supply and tried again.  Same result.  The VISTA reinstall stands in the last step.

  BTW, I ran a diagnosis of memory, and it was OK.

  Any suggestions for next steps?  Reinstall CD could be bad?

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  Disconnect all external devices other than the keyboard and mouse and check if you canproceed with the installation.

  If you have more than 1 GB of RAM I suggest to keep only 1 GB of RAM, remove the extra RAM and check if you can proceed with the installation.

• Remove Vista update files after installation

  Hello
  I'm new to Vista. I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I have all the updates that are installed for a while now and the system works properly. I want to remove the installation & uninstall files. In XP, files were located in the Windows folder and blue color for easy identification. I think I found the folder in Vista, it is, is the right folder C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages? Is it safe to delete all files in this folder the same as in XP. I know that I won't be able to uninstall the updates later.

  Thanks for the help.

  Malcolm

  Malcolm, we can not defend deleting the files found in the Windows directory unless they are part of a process of solving problems, is there a reason to delete the content of your package store? If you are running low on space, you must use the cleanup utility disk (found in the start menu-> all programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> disk cleanup). Rami

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installation problem

  I am having major problems installing service pack 2 on windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron from 32-bit. It returns the 8007000D error code.

  I tried the PC back to factory settings, removing the anti-virus and the deactivation of some things non-nessasary start up with msconfig. Also, I have disabled all the wireless devices using a switch on the side of the laptop - it seems that would enable me to install service pack 1.

  Even with all the foregoing it always fails and recommends the system "Update system tool" update running. I have run, restart the computer and run the SP2 and it does not always work with the same error message.

  The only other methods recommended to install must remove antiviris and other programs that I've done so I don't know what to do!

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Matthew

  Robear,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I looked at the link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366) and went through all the troubleshooting guide without success. With my current attempts to install SP2 (after the return to factory settings), I remove McAfee from the computer (that came with it as default) and then install the service pack SP1 and SP2 by using the stand-alone installation programs by downloading from another computer.

  Thank you for give me the Microsoft technical support link, that I had read on another thread that the free support is exhausted.

  I will try to sue microsoft and come back here if I have any luck!

  Thank you

  Matthew
