• Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
  The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
  I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

  And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

  Hello Bambi

  Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
  As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

  You can start your computer in Mode safe?

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

• Removed the HARD disk with MBR/BCD who installed Vista x 64 Business on the new HARD drive

  I have vista x 64 business installed on a HARD drive, but it was (and still is) installed on an older HDD aswell and the smallest, the result being that when I removed the old hard drive to put in another computer, I was unable to boot the copy of vista on the new HARD disk as the MBR or the BCD bit that allows me to choose what vista start is on the old HDD. Using the installation DVD I can get up the command prompt and run Bootrec.exe without the old HARD disk installed, which can find the vista installation, but fails to solve the problem. I'm not an expert so I can't properly use Bootrec.exe, and startup recovery also does not work, although it seems to say that something to do with the startup has been fixed. Is it possible that I can get the computer running without the old HDD without having to reinstall vista on the new hard drive? Currently, I put the old HARD return drive to start the new installation of vista.

  When you move an old hard drive to a new computer, the installed operating system will find new hardware (motherboard, etc.).

  A clean install is a normal requirement, as no drivers are installed for the new hardware on the operating system.
  Thus, it will not start.

  How to do a clean install:

  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

• Re: Serial number down would work with the other Windows Vista operating system

  First of all sorry for my English.
  I have one question.

  My hard drive is broken with my recovery partition.
  If I download windows vista and install the system with my original serial number on the laptop, this will work or should I activate it after installation.

  I hope it's the same number that the front is installed on my first installation.

  Hello Marcin

  I doubt that the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the device works with another Windows Vista operating system. But it s worth a try
  You could test it I heard it's very rare cases it was possible

  In any case, if your HARD disk is damaged and it of not possible to create a recovery DVD using recovery software Toshiba disc creator, then you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

  If the warranty is valid the HARD drive should be replaced just for free. If you need only the recovery DVDs, then you can order it here:

  I have a tablet that is using Windows Vista. Hard to drive tablets erased clean with Vista. How can I recover the Vista operating system? I hope that I don't need to go out and buy a new OS, because the Tablet is worth only a few dollars and can be lower than the price of a new operating system.

  Hello

  Contact the manufacturer of the tablet on the way to reinstall the operating system.

• I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

  Transfer of license with a twist

  So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

  Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.

  If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315

  If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

• I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

  Windows XP instead of Vista.

  I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

  Hello

  There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

  1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

  2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

  3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

  4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

• I can't backup DVD for Windows Vista operating system due to the error of 0x8007001B

  I can't finish a DVD upward on my Windows Vista operating system.  This is due to an 0x8007001B error code.  I was unable to complete the fix to services.msu

  Hi mine,

  This isn't a question of MSE - there is a problem with Vista or your computer or your software backup or your DVD player or its drivers or something else. We are not the right people to answer your question and give you the best possible options and solutions - you have to talk to the experts.

  Please repost at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1304884961900 where specialists who understand and focus to help with these issues will be more than happy to help you.

  Although not my area of expertise (and you're welcome to ignore it and just after to the other forum), I did do research in any case and believe that the problem involves the corruption on your hard drive (although I could certainly be wrong - it is more likely to be the case if the full error message includes "drive cannot find sector requested" but you don't get the full error message, so I don't know). To try to fix it, if that is the problem, follow these steps:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If this does not work, test better clean your hard drive. To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and try to diagnosis HD (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287). If it passes the tests, there's probably nothing wrong with it and you must do to the other support forum. If it fails, which include in your post on the other forum and let them advise you how to proceed.

  I hope that the above solves the problem. If this isn't the case, I am confident, they can help you in the other forum, because that's what they specialize in. It would help if you posted the message Word for Word that is accurate and complete, including all codes. In addition, it would help them if you explain the difficulty you mention services involving (a link to the site where you found the solution or at least what exactly you did and what has happened or not happened when you tried). And if you've tried my suggestions above, include the results in your message (so they don't ask you to do it again and will be able to exclude).

  Good luck and best wishes!

• have 2 hard drives with different operating systems on them

  I'm upgrading. I took a hard drive from another pc. It has windows vista on it. Am using another hard drive with XP on it as a slave. But it does not recognize 2nd hard drive other than a shortcut that my friend created. I think it has to do with group policies in Vista? Or the 2 operating systems will not play nice with them? I can't reformat the drive until I get back to the top on them.

  Finally, I plan to each drive to reformat, but want to back up each drive, so I can't reformat now

  Do you not normally take a hard drive with an installed operating system, on a single computer and put it in another for a start of it.

  You can ask yourself all sorts of problems.

  Motherboard drivers are involved for each computer, they are installed.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  And there are rules of licensing:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista or if it was an OEM drive, that you bought, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  .

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  There are a set of processes for dual-boot Vista and XP, if that's what you try to do.

  You will need to follow the link below:

  If you mean something different from your message, try the Forum relating to data recovery Vista repair:

• Vista operating system. I get an error report "can't find printable HTML article.

  Firefox returns the error report, "Could not find printable html section" when you click on the printer friendly button. The printer friendly option work in Internet Explorer. Vista operating system.

  The developer of the page made a typo: the button is pressed by a script that seeks the printable element, but on the page, this item is marked printable - and JavaScript required an exact match.

  As a solution, you might set the font using the web console of Firefox. However, it would be wise to complain on the site if they did this on every page.

  Are you can access BIOS by pressing the ESC key?
  Select this check box.

  But to be honest, it sounds like a BIOS problem, and in the worst case, you will need to ask the technician to mobile to help.
