• Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

  Hello

  I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

  I downloaded the file .iso Windows Recovery (of size 120 MB), it burned down and tried to reinstall Windows. I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

  Thanks in advance

  This is NOT a Vista reinstall the drive, it's a record of STARTUP repair!

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition t put it back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  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, Acer is normally Alt + F10 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

• Windows Vista reinstall without disc, but I have a product key

  I did a system restore on my computer and I need to reinstall Vista on my computer.  I can't locate the disk, but I have the product code.  Can someone help me how to get Vista on my computer?  I need it as soon as POSSIBLE.  The classes are trolling.

  Your computer came with Vista recovery (usually on a different files
  partition). If so, usually, you can access the Vista reinstall mode by
  repeatedly pressing F11 or F12 during startup. Before that, be
  be sure to back up all the important files, emails, licensed applications and so on.

• Windows Vista - reinstalling XP

  I have a very important question for me.

  I want my Toshiba Satellite Vista edition and install XP. But if I do this, the Toshiba (Toshiba TEMPRO) software, software for camera, Bluetooth etc. remains on my computer or I have to install it manually?

  If manually - could you tell me where can I download this software?

  Thanks for the quick reply

  > I want to my Toshiba Satellite Vista edition and install XP. But if I do this, the Toshiba (Toshiba TEMPRO) software, software for camera, Bluetooth etc. remains on my computer or I have to install it manually?)

  You cannot uninstall the Vista you will need to format the HARD disk or partition where Vista is stored to remove it from the laptop.
  Win XP installation does this automatically. During installation of XP, the Setup program will ask you to format the partition or HARD drive and reinstall Win XP.
  So, you can install Win XP on the partition where Vista is stored.
  This will launch the Vista from the HARD drive.

  PS: To install the Win XP you have mode SATA from AHCI to compatible. This can be done in the BIOS

• Vista reinstall PSC1510s whenever I connect it to the laptop

  Hello

  I have a HP PSC1510s all-in-one series. Whenever I connect it to my laptop it reinstalls drivers create a copy of the printer in my Printers page. I have so many copies and whenever I need to select the correct copy number and once I have unplug the printer, I need to delete copies... it's a nightmare!

  Can someone help me please?

  Van

  Hi Antlint,

  I understand that your printer re - installs the software for your printer Psc1510, whenever you start the computer. If the printer is disconnected from the computer, it could cause this. Here is a link to an update to fix a problem that causes the network connected printer to disappear from the system and/or the connected USB printer to attempt to reinstall several times.

• Vista reinstall without drives... Help

  How can I reinstall vista without recovery disks? system goes, blue screen, safe mode, no point of restoration. don't need the Info off the system want to just start over...

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, 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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Windows Vista reinstall stopped at "continue installation".

  I'm trying to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720.  I get through the steps and it restarts several times, but when I get to "Continue Installation... "nothing seems to happen.  I tried several times to reinstall but still stuck at this point.  Long ago I lost all the files on the computer so that they are not important.  I disconnected all devices.  It all started when SysMech messed up the registry and totally corrupted the Vista operating system.  I formatted the HD and deleted the partition while I'm trying to reinstall in the unallocated space.
  Help!

  Hello

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  a. your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it.
  For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

  b. the CD or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  Also, it is usually caused by hardware problems.  If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  a. wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current.

  c. If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows Vista.

  If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer for the problems associated with hard drives.

• I, v had reinstalled how vista reinstall the programs stored in the widows.old file

  Microsoft reinstalled vista and my programs saved to the windows.old file how do I reinstall them.

  You reinstall the same way you installed them the first time.  You can't recover programs from Windows.OLD folder.

• Windows Vista reinstall blocked to "expand the files (27%). »

  I have some problems with my PC main (on my laptop at this time) and decided after 3 years, time to reformat. From what I've heard supposed to be simple in vista, pop in the disc and click on reinstall windows. He grayed out button keep old files, but that was OK since I tried a clean install. then he went forward and said she'd keep everything in windows.old, fine, I'll just delete myself later.

  Anyway, I take reinstall, it goes through a reboot or two and gets to the Windows installation, extension files, I've been watching it for over an hour now and it has not exceeded (27%). Not sure what will happen if I force to restart now and try again. Please help and advise.

  Stats:
  Dell (I know, I know, never) Dimension 9300
  Intel Duo DUal Core 2.6 ghz
  NVIDIA 6800GTS
  4 GB of RAM
  350 GB HARD drive

  -Dan

  p.s. It's 32-bit Vista Home Premium, the same disc that came with the computer in the first place, original vista without SP the disk.

  UPDATE:

  OK, once sitting around an another hourish in waiting for a response from the installation has puched from 27 percent and is now at 70%, heres hoping it continues, so for those of you who else having this problem, go see a movie, go back and hope it's worked.

  If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc (not an OEM disc and a recovery from Dell disk), then I can help you. If this isn't the case, you need to contact Dell, as is their recovery process and not from Microsoft and we have no information on its operation.

  Assuming you are using a real Dist Vista Installation, the installation obviously didn't at this point so you should cold shut down the system and reboot to restart the process.  Before that, I would clean the disc gently with a tissue from the Center to the edge to remove fingerprints or tasks that can cause the problem.

  When the option to format, choose full format rather than a quick format (just to make sure that it has nothing to do with the problem).

  Then try the re-installing and hope it works this time.  If it will not re - install from the disc, then try to find an another Vista Installation authentic drive of the same size of the bit to borrow and try.  If not, then press F12 immediately after pressing the Start button to access system diagnotics (at least this is how it works on my Dell - use whatever method works for your if you have installed the diagnostics program) and run all the options to see if it finds problems with your system (I hope not).

  If not, then contact Support technique Dell (if out of warranty a phone call can cost money, but I think that the chat option is free even after the warranty runs out and see if they have any suggetions to offer.)

  I hope this helps.
