    If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

    If HP's Vista recovery disks, 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

  • Product key problems

    I had my laptop hard drive crash. The laptop came with Vista Basic but without recovery or any disk system. For the original Vista product key is on a sticker at the back of the laptop from Microsoft. I bought a Vista Ultimate upgrade and installed. Has been registered by Microsoft OK. The new Vista hung a couple weeks later and the necessary solution to a clean install on my new hard drive. I put in the upgrade version product key. Microsoft now says the key is already used (it was by me on the same machine) and stop Vista Ultimate in 24 days. How to make society recognize that I replaced my program not working with himself on the same machine on which I initially installed it? Thank you.  Mike

    You can not legally do a clean install with an upgrade disc.

    Reinstall the Vista Basic > then go to the ultimate.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    See you soon.

  • Problem with dispelled the Vista product key

    About 2 weeks ago I had the hard drive of my laptop fixed and they had to re - install all my files. However, it was impossible to re - install Windows Vista because the product key, which is at the bottom of the laptop disappeared and it is not possible to do what some of the numbers/letters are. This left me in a situation where I have to do with the free trial until further notice and could end up having to pay for a new operating system, which would be around £100. How can I solve this problem? Would it not be possible that Microsoft would allow me to have a free copy of Vista if I download pictures of the worn out code and tell them my name and the date of purchase?

    Thanks in advance,
    Peter Roberts

    Hello

    You have licensed OEM preinstalled, which was provided by the manufacturer of your laptop.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks Vista.

    Normally, they do this for a small fee.

    When you do a reinstall with these recovery disks, you don't normally have to put in a product key as the recovery process uses the builtin factory Installation product key, which is part of the recovery process, activate when reinstalling.

    And as some posters suggested, try a magnifying glass and a flashlight for the missing letters / numbers

    See you soon.
