  • cannot restore the system with the Vista recovery disc, computer stuck in step 3 of 3 loop

    Hi all

    My computer has been blocked in the formidable step 3 of 3 loop. I followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and created the Vista recovery disk. I loaded it and followed the instructions. Everything was fine. I chose a 5 days ago restore point, and it went well until he must "finalize the restoration of files...". ». That's where he stayed - it would not be completed. I tried the restore points different, all with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to make with her startup repair.

    With this CD, you can also do a startup repair of your Vista OS with it.

    If she can't do a startup repair and system restore has failed, it is time to consider doing a re-install of the Vista operating system.

    See you soon.

  • Activation of Windows Vista after system recovery.

    Original title: ID of Windows product and product keys.

    I'm about to buy a HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.  I seriously think about the use of the recovery system to return to its original state.  If everything goes well and I have to activate windows again, I guess I'm going to need a product key and maybe a product ID.  Looking at the system info, I see a product ID of xxxx8-OEM-xxx21xx-000xx, the product key on the sticker on the base is xxxxx-xxxx2-xxxx6-xxxx4-xxxxx.  When I used Magic Jelly Bean to find the product key, it shows a totally different key xxxxx-xxxx8-xxxxQ-xxxx2-xxxxx. Why there are 2 different keys?

    Hi skeeterh3,

    To activate Windows, the product ID is not necessarily required.

    If you try to do a system restore, the system cannot ask the product key.

    However, if you need help for activation I recommend you to contact the Center Activation Microsoft.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

    I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

    Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

    I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

    What choices do I have?  Where can I find the appropriate instructions?

  • Question about Vista Recovery CD Toshiba

    I don't know why laptops Toshibas are sold with this kind of installation disc.
    If something happens and the system needs to be reinstalled then whole hard disk will be deleted. And also what it installs this Norton Internet Security? Not everyone likes it.
    It would be much better to sell just the cd with system and cd with drivers separately.

    P.S. y at - it a repair utility for this backup cd which will not remove HD set. Where is boot loader Editor?
    I have spent many hours trying to run XP and Vista on dual boot before I succeed.

    [Edited by: admin on June 17, 2007 08:08]

    Hello

    Why you're so angry shouting at them? I Don t understand it. You know, there are 100,000 customers and machines and noone of them had a problem with this recovery system.

    To these people like you, who are dissatisfied with their handling and their marketing, they release the drivers on their site so you can get a separate operating system
    AS YOU WOULD LIKE and then you can install it as you need.
    Regarding Norton: If you don t like it, uninstall it and the problem is solved. And how do you know, people like him or not. Maybe not everyone's a computerfreak like you,
    There are some people that they don t know not even how to install an operating system, and they are happy to have something delivered to their BONES "factory-installed" who cares about the security of the system.

    If you are more familiar with computers, just install the system and make individual for you. I think that toshiba has nothing to do with, when you don t get the thing LIKE YOU HAVE is in your view.

    So I Don t want to offend you, I want to show you, this toshiba must produce for the masses, and they give the geeks like us a limited chance to create an individual system on our machine.

    Hi again,

    It is resolved. I was getting an error 0 x 24, which I couldn't see before because the error of the report was disable.

    I downloaded the Windows Vista Recovery Disc available [here | http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/] and he picked up the system.

    For sure I am now a recovery DVD. I didn't know that this laptop has a system of recovery only inside the HD.

  • Satellite A200: Where to get the Vista recovery CD

    I boght the laptop and it came with Windows Vista professional.
    But it got a Virus. Thanks to the Norton which came with it and I had to do a system restore.

    And the reovery disc came with XP. I have the key for Vista on the bottom of my laptop but I don't know how to get another copy of Vista professional for the A200 to use...

    Can someone help with that...

    Very strange that s why you received the Toshiba XP CD recovery and not the Vista recovery CD?  :|

    Generally, if the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista then you should get the recovery CD Toshiba with Vista OS.

    In case you I would contact the ASP in your country to get the Vista recovery CD

  • Extract Vista recovery DVDs

    Hi, I would like to know (before you try) if it is possible for "extract" the Vista version of my restore disk, if so please post a clue on how to start.
    If this isn't the case, would it be possible to use the recovery disk without changing my Partitions.

    After the first installation, I changed the size of the disk partition to a more than useful setting instead of divide 160 GB in two parts. It is, when you use recovery 'as-is' my partitions are back from the original size. Pls post for help here, there must be a way to NOT lose all data after Vista hangs or crashes.

    Thanks in advance, Tuurtje

    Hello

    As MrPacman mentioned, the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs can not be extracted. The image on the recovery CD file is secure and I know it s not possible to open it using a tool like for example; Norton Ghost.

    The use of recovery DVDs will format the whole HARD disk and re-create the hidden Vista recovery partition and the system on the HARD drive partition.
    Simply said, the recovery CD redefines the laptop to factory settings.

    So, if you have important data and files on the HARD drive, backup it first before recovering.

  • Win 7 - Vista Recovery

    The release of Win 7 in October, a clean install will be necessary, who will rub Vista.

    It will be possible, if you wish, to return to Vista, using the DVD (s) recovery or the recovery partition?

    It will be necessary to repeat the recovery DVD creation, before win 7 install in order to get the last status of Vista?

    Hello

    I doubt anyone here can give you accurate answers to your questions.
    On Win7 and Win7 update right now, you can read under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/home/ > click on the Windows 7 upgrade window.

    I also heard that Win7 is expected in October, but in the past, that the release time was often changed. In any case, I believe that Win7 will be on the market before Christmas. It is well known that for Christmas time new notebooks will be offered with the new operating system.

    If you now for laptop with Vista and recovery DVDs created, you can use any time to reinstall Vista. Using this recovery DVDs you'll new factory settings.

    This question having the status of Vista is interesting. Obviously you misunderstood something.
    Using "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" you will always have the same Vista recovery image, and it has nothing to do with the status of Vista.

    If you got laptop with Vista SP1 (factory State) and now you have updated to SP2 after using "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" you Vista SP1 as the first day. "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" is not a friendly image maker for the back of the current state. Original Toshiba recovery image is recorded on the second partition and this tool simply create recovery DVD with the saved files. Nothing else.

    If you want to change OS please create recovery DVDs. Many people save folder HDDRecovery on external HARD drive and hope that it can be used for the installation of Vista later. It will not work.

    Just bought this laptop and it comes with a product for Windows XP Recovery disk but Vista is currently installed on it?

    Hello

    Usually, you should be abele to create a twilight of recovery using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator who must be preinstalled on your laptop.
    It s is strongly recommended to create this disc because this drive could be your last chance to save the Vista if something goes wrong with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

    The recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and restore your laptop to factory settings as on the first day of purchase.

  • 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:

  • Windows Vista recovery disc

    I can't load the Windows Vista recovery disks (3 in total).  The Recovery Manager has not opened.  I went up to step 3 only.  I guess the restore disc (CD 1) failed.

    Hello:

    Sometimes the recovery disks do not work for one reason or another.

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc that should at least get an operating system reinstalled on your PC.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then the other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    Update:  This is the new link to your own Vista installation media.

    Click on the link below and then click on the link PDF Guide of reinstalling Windows.

    Follow the instructions on pp 295-297.

  • Neosmart of VISTA recovery disk

    Tried to use it to start Vista to allow me to join the office so I can either do a system restore or format and reinstall Vista. Have Acer Aspire M1100 which is formatted by the departure of John. Booted from the recovery disk, choose repair your computer, it searches the operating system and finds Vista. He then seek out problems and then asks if you want to do a system restore, choose YES, but then it goes back to the repair attempt going on and so on and gets me nowhere. Please can someone tell me where I'm wrong if I understand correctly that this disc has obtained a large number of people out of trouble. Thank you

    NeoSmart is NOT a relocation of the disc.

    It will attempt to repair your boot files of the system, not the files of your operating system.

    If it will not get Vista running, you need to reinstall Vista.

    http://www.Acer.com/worldwide/support/index.htm

    Contact Acer on how to use the recovery Partition, or ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disk.
    You can try pressing Alt + F10 to see if that will start the process of recovery from the factory.
