Vista Windows tried to install two windows 7

PC is HP running on Windows Vista. Tried to install the dual-boot with Windows 7 to different partitions. Everything was fine, but had to leave to cancel installation of windows 7. The installation was incomplete.

Now everytime I restart the PC, the display shows HP restore & Factory Reset on the loop.

First priority is to ensure that all current data stored in windows vista is safe and not affected. Was not aware that the data was not justified. I want to go ahead with the installation of windows 7 that after it is confirmed that the data is safe.

How can I do to ensure that the data is safe, save it and then continue the installation of windows 7. Please restore hp page guide. Student and extremely worried. Help, please.

Hello

First thing you want to do is to back up your data and get Vista boot once again, before you start to worry about installation of Windows 7 as a dual Boot.

Saving your files:

You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

HP recovery to factory settings is just that, HP, no Microsoft software.

It's up to you if you want to back up your data, and then reinstall, or take the risk to a non-destructive recovery of HP, which case you MAY lose all your data.

You can try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  4. Conclusion

If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

    Bruce,

    Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

    If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

    You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

    Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

  • Cannot install any version of Acrobat on Windows Vista. Tried older versions, received the error for incorrect serial number.

    I'm working on Windows Vista and tried to install Acrobat XI. After the purchase and download, I discovered that it is not compatible with my operating system. Instead, I tried to install Acrobat X Pro and Standard, but when I tried to enter the serial number, I was told that it is an incorrect serial number. I directly copy the serial number for my Adobe with no luck. What should I do?

    I'm on a 64-bit Windows Vista OS, with plenty of memory and storage.

    Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2

    The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.

    For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.

    What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  • BOOTMGR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete while trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit

    Now that I got my 64-bit Vista in the mail and quickly install disc he jumped in my DVD player. The installation process went well until I was asked to choose which hard drive, I tried to install Vista on. I tried to format my hard drive to this screen, I was working with Vista 32 bit before that and saw no need to divide my two work machine with two separate versions of the same operating system. After formatting the hard drive, I have been unable to click on the 'next' button and engage the next step of the installation process. There was a message is displayed to the bottom of the window, as well tell a word about the installation of a machine already running windows. I would be happy to provide further information to the topic of my problems during this step, but my problems do not stop here.

    After you notice the message described above and do not get farther in attempts to install later, I decided to try to reinstall the 32-bit version of Vista and then maybe try to upgrade to 64-bit. However when I put in the CD at retail, rather than receive messages at the start of a disc, I have met with the harsh reality of "BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart." Since then got trapped in a painful loop switching between disc 32-bit and the 64-bit disk in the hope that it would finally let me begin with him.

    In addition to this logically faulty tactics, I also searched some online solutions. I made sure that my DVD drive is first in my boot order. My computer will not yet make Flex and give me the ability to boot from a disk.

    My question is this; How can I get my computer let me boot from a disc again?

    I will probably also need help to drive problem hard he, but as I can not even in a position to provide information on this issue at the time I need to have the above resolved dilemma first.

  • Tried to install a printer in windows 7 using a vista driver. Now, I get an error 0 x 00000002.

    The problem occurred when trying to install a network printer on my laptop that is running Windows 7.  Now, when I select the printer in the menu "add a printer" and press "Next", I get 'Unable to connect to the printer' & 'the operation failed with error 0x00000002 ".
    The printer is a network printer, connected to my desktop running Vista.  In addition, it is a Brother MFC-8300.
    I can install the printer when it is connected directly to my laptop, but when I try to add it as a network printer, I have the problem that I have just described.  I should mention that I had to install a special version of the driver ("Brother MFC-8300 v.2") on my desk to solve another problem, I had with another computer on the network, which was running Vista-64 (see http://www.vistax64.com/vista-print-fax-scan/77226-brother-mfc-8300-printing-blank-pages.html).
    So basically this is what happens:
    (1) I click on 'add printer '.
    (2) I click on 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.'
    (3) I select ' Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on VISTAMACHINE ' and click 'next '.
    (4) a "Windows printer Installation" window appears and says "connection to Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on."
    VISTAMACHINE"and underneath"seeks pilot."
    (5) a "Add a printer" window appears with an "X" inside a red circle next to the mention 'to connect to the printer.
    "Windows cannot connect to the printer", and "Operation failed with error 0x00000002".
    Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Create two printers on the computer, the device sharing.  Make a word share name, do not use the name of the driver for sharing.  Spaces in the name to make it even more difficult when you set a SMB (local port) connection to the printer.  Set the Port for two printers shared the same (I assume that the device is connected to a USB Port).

    Use the driver Vista Inbox for the part for 32-bit machines.  Use the driver provided Brother (Brother MFC-8300 v.2) share for 64-bit machines.

  • Cannot start Windows after trying to install the Vista SP2

    I just tried to install Vista SP2 and now whenever I try to turn on the cpu it gives me a blue screen and restarts. It does allow me to start in SafeMode either. In addition, it seems to be impossible to find my restore points. I was able to stop the screen using the F8 menu and it gives me this error on the blue screen

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X81C223BB, 0X803998F4, 0X803995F0)

    For some reason, when I go to the cmd prompt to advanced troubleshooting guide, I can do, he says that I am the X and not the C drive, if that has something to do with my restore points does not.

    I tried to get the menu of the restoration on C manually through C:\windows\system32\restore\, but nothing was there.

    Any help would be appreciated. I will not lose rather all my data in a reformat.

    Thank you

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
