If you have downloaded Vista Ultimate and not bought, you use pirate software.

If this does not work, contact Acer:

· eRecovery uses Ghost (as well as the use of our recovery CD) to create snapshot images.
· If the PQService partition is removed using fdisk or a utility under Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.
· If the system is recharged using the DOS version you retain the eRecovery feature

MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?
I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.
Hello
When you perform a full backup of the computer, all programs, files and system settings are included.

For Vista Ultimate system with no disk restore
I try to wipe my computer and back to the original without the disk system restore settings. This computer was originally shipped with windows XP, but I installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. I bought a new computer and have already transferred all my files, I just need to clean it now before I give it.
I tried a few measures based on advice that does not take place. I tried hitting F8 on startup, told me to highlight the "Repair computer" option, but there is no option.
What should I do to take this for a Vista Ultimate perfectly clean, or at least back to the factory settings?
Thanks for your help!

Cannot restore backup image Vista Home Premium Vista Ultimate
So recently my house was broken into and my laptop stolen. Fortunately, considerate thieves left my backup hard drive external, I used my destination for Vista Ultimate backups.
Advance of 2 weeks and now I have a new laptop. It has Vista Home premium installed. It is deplorable that I must pay for 2 because Microsoft OS assumed that I am a software pirate and does not give me an OEM OS disk, but I also use a version with fewer features.
But I'm better. Soon I discovered that my non "backups" are not all files that are not some base document/text/music files. All my encrypted volumes that have my REALLY important files were not considered sufficiently specific to save Vista, probably because their extension wasn't .txt, .doc or .mp3.
Fine. In fact, I did disk-image backups. As recently, you mind, but at least most of my stuff should be there.
And, I can't restore my own disk-image backups because Vista Home Premium does not support. Great, not only bought Vista * double *, I'm not allowed to retrieve the files that I recorded with a BONE that I bought and supposed to be always clean, but only in certain intellectual property of Kafka-esque fantasy land.
I tried the 3rd party virtualization software to try to start the image (.vhd files). No go. Can someone tell me how to recover my files? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ixne,
We will not be able to recover an ultimate Image on Home Premium. However, if you have a backup of your entire PC, then you can try to do the same thing in Windows Recovery Mode.
Starting with the DVD of the operating system, once you see the manufacturer of the screen, Tap "F8". Choose the option "full restoration of the PC.
Hope this helps with your problem.

How to restore an upgrade to Vista HP for Vista Ultimate?
I've updated to Vista Ultimate on my laptop and now I want to restore that upgrading to Vista HP. How do I do that?
Hello
You CAN depending on how you installed the complete edition
If you have a folder windows.old on your hard drive and enough hard drive space you CAN rollback
and if you do not have a folder windows.old here are the different ways to reinstall vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

Satellite P200-144 never stop correctly using Vista Ultimate
Recently made a regeneration of my P200-144. Used with Vists Home recovery disk. Then upgraded to Vista Ultimate. After it was sold went to the web site of toshiba for the latest drivers and decided to update the bios.
To restart the laptop is it never shutdown properly. Left with no other choice it off (left by logging out of the screen).
Now computer laptop won't do anything. Is it possible to get the bios to boot / restore or do I need to reach a support centre.
Hmm, looks a little more that the BIOS update failed? :|
Usually, in such situation the ASP help is necessary.But before contact you the ASP and will be sent to this device on the balance I would recommend removing the battery and disconnect the laptop power adapter.
Then wait about 20 min, then reconnect both sides and try to start the laptop.If you won't be successful then the help of ASP is required
Good luck

Need help to install Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 - error 0x800F081F - standard corrections do not work
I have trouble getting Service Pack 1 installed on Windows Vista x 64 final.
Current issue: SP1 does not appear as an update, and I have not yet installed. Windows Update tells me that I'm completely up to date.
History (memory, may be some errors):
- Performed the new installation, including Vista Ultimate x 64 disk erasure (MSDN)
- Updated to current with windows update
- Installed Office 2007 Ultimate (MSDN) (don't know where update what happened)
- Active Windows (could be a problem doing this after you install updates?)
- Installed CPU usage, network, gadgets sidebar discs counter meter
- Installed Live Family Safety
- Installed Chrome
- Installed Google Apps
- Google Pack antivirus installed
- Installed Google Earth
- Attempted a manual installation of SP1 - fails with the error 0x800F081F
At the present time, I can't get a manual of installation of SP1 to work, and Windows Update tells me that I am up to date. -> System control panel tells me I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, but does not list all service packs. He also confirmed that the x 64 edition is installed.Steps for debugging:- Installed the drivers for the sound card motherboard
- A ran complete chkdsk on drive to repair bad sectors
- Ran the system file checker - find corrupted files, but can't fix
- Journal CBS does contain no [SF] cannot repair the entries
- Installed continues to update the system tool - tool does eventually make a update facility - who settle whenever I run
System Information Link: http://www.filedropper.com/systeminfo[1] this is a new installation, so nothing has been pre-installed.
