  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  See which way suits you.

  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:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

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

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

  It depends on the old hard drive still works.

• Transfer of license of Windows Vista on a hard disc nine

  Hi all, I have a laptop HP that came with Windows Vista pre-installed. The hard drive failed (confirmed by running diagnostic BIOS) and I buy a new one today. My question is, how do I get my installation of Windows and the license on the new hard drive? My laptop came not with all drives I know (probably because it has a recovery partition).

  In addition, the sticker on the base of the PC has faded with time, and I can't do the license number. Can it be retrieved by MS?

  Thank you

  Matt Harris

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

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

  Normally, you don't have the product key with the manufacturer of recovery discs.

  See you soon.

  Open the Windows Update - click the link view updates installed on the left of the page

  in the list, find the WAT update KB971033, and then uninstall it.

  Then restart and reinstall the update from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

• Responsible for Vista and works fine for about 2 days now, I get the product in use key try AnotherOne coming soon. I have old MB and HARD drive if that can help prove that I only want to use the key on a single machine.

  As noted, my motherboard has failed.  IDE only AGP CPU core.  Not much use trying to find anotherof those.  Replaced the motherboard with a newer version.  It has SATA, multi core processor, etc.  Processor and HARD drive had to be replaced.

  My Vista home premium 32 bit running on my machine for years.  I loaded it on the upgrade with no problems.  Went to windows update and SP1 and then SP2 and all other windows updates suggest and worked very well, for a few days.

  Now, I get a message that the product key is already used and need to buy AnotherOne coming soon.

  I didn't really want to do.

  Thank you

  @Leady05 ,

  Hello and welcome to the HP support forums.  Sorry to hear about hard drive failure.  Now for the bad news.  There is no driver support for windows 8.1 for your laptop.

  The laptop was produced with Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit edition not windows 8 or 8.1, so it's drivers did not support to your system unless you reload Windows 7.

  Thanks for posting and have a great day.

  The computer works fine but I have a little busy, accessed HDD for something.

  Hi tim8888,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  You can use Disk Defragmenter and check if the problem persists.

  To defragment your hard drive

  1. open the disk by clicking the Start button Defragmenter. In the search box, type and then Disk Defragmenter in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.

  2. under status, select the disk to defragment.

  3. to determine whether the disk should be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of disk fragmentation in the last run column. If the number is greater than 10%, you must defragment the drive.

  4. click on defragment disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/improve-performance-by-defragmenting-your-hard-disk

  If this does not work, put the computer into safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  To do this:

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.

  2. do one of the following:

  ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select the safe mode option, and then press ENTER.

  4 log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

• Sharing of files and hard drive between computers

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I'm trying to connect two computers, which I named system A and system b. Computers and a DSL modem at wire speed Westel are connected to a router Asus WL-520 through ethernet LAN cables wireless/wired. HP PSC 2355 printer is connected to the router with a USB cable. The LAN on board two computers automatically configures the IP addresses of the form 192.168.x.x, which, in my view, to work. However there is no connectivity between the two computers, systems A and B. They do not see the shared disks and files on the other. The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with Service Pack 3, n ° 76477-OEM-0015717-31545.

  When I ran the program ipconfig on each a said computer specification that IP routing is not enabled. See the configuration below. IP routing must be enabled in order to have connectivity? How IP routing is enabled in Windows XP? In the Services section of the Control Panel, there is the Routing and remote access, which is disabled and other related networking services, of which some are also disabled.

  Hello

  The display is OK. The routing setting this isOoff is not relevant in your case.

  ----------------

  Configure all of the computers to share files and you have a network Lcall.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.
