Vista with XP Downgrade and none of the recovery disks - how to create recovery discs?

Interesting - I also bought the Windows Vista Business (sticker that says so on the bottom of the T61) with the pre-load downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

Recovery of product, I created discs, that the OP was advised, but did not notice any indication during the process of creating it was for Windows XP Professional which was preinstalled, the Windows Vista Professional (which is allowed and has a sticker on the bottom of the T61), or both. Anyone know?

And if it's only for XP, so how can I get Windows Vista Business media to which the licence applies?

  • None of the recovery disc for dv7-1000.

    Unfortuantely my Vista OS is corrupt enough that I can not burn a DVD or CD or internal use and a new USB optical drive.  So, I have none of the recovery disks.  The recovery provided on the HARD drive partition appears to be intact - is it possible for a system recovery - reinstall directly form the partition on the HARD disk without recovery DVD?

    Thank you, Nigel

    Hi Nigel,

    I never heard talk of an account is created with a password already together for this - but the following can help to remove.

    Download the ISO on the following link.

    PC login now

    Once downloaded, use a program such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD.  A guide on how to use it is on the link below.

    PC connection Guide now

    Insert the CD into your PC, you cannot connect to and restart to boot from the disc.

    I hope that this should simply remove your password altogether, so you can configure then comes a new.

  • I have Windows Vista - I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full. How can I transer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room to the left?

    I have Windows Vista.  I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.

    How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room?    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

  • Installed Windows on the bad disk partition (C :) and meant for the recovery disc (e :)))

    Hello world

    My question is that I installed windows vista on the wrong partition. When I tried to do a re-install for partition recovery (e), I saw that the drive (C :) local was still installed with my last error when I first installed it on drive C: (OS) that is full. I didn't want to do, that I was going for the recovery disk (E :).

    If I re - install windows on the recovery disk now, he will have to complete partitions. I'm just completely start over as if I first had an empty space to install an OS right the first time around when choosing the right partition.

    It is on a latitude D630, where the BONE was full and the Data 2 which is the recovery disk (e) has free space that should have (c).

    Any help is grateful, thank you.

    Make sure that the important data that you have on the drive is backed up.

  • Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

    Hi all

    I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
    I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
    The laptop runs Vista.

    In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
    What I can do...

    I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
    The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
    I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

    Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

    Thanks a lot for all the help...

    John

    Hello

    What happened exactly?
    Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

    Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

    Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
    It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

    http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

    This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

  • Tecra A8 downgraded XP and none of the Toshiba Utilities works

    Hi all

    I just got a new Tecra A8 - it is downgraded to XP, and none of the Toshiba Utilities work (energy saving function keeys, keyboard shortcuts, etc.). When I try to reinstall - there is always an error message (missing dll or sth similar) - I tried to update the bios - couldn't - once again a missing file!

    any ideas how to solve this problem? at least the fn keys (fn key works - I see a light come on when I press - not the functions well!)

    your help, I much appreciated!

    see you soon,

    Dimitris

    Hi Dimitris

    May I ask you what Tecra A8?
    I visited the Toshiba driver page and it seems that Toshiba provide XP drivers for two different units A8 PTA83Eand PTA82E.

    You should be 100% sure that you are using the correct drivers!
    In addition, Toshiba released the Installation Instructions of the document on the page and to my knowledge it s necessary and important to follow this line of installation guide. The proper installation order is necessary!

    So take care and check again

    Hi JSillesen,

    When the web site is exported for the first time the image file is created with a small 'i '. But when you export to a location where the folder already exists, then name in has not changed. This could be what has happened with you. Try to export the web site in a new folder and check if it was created with a capital 'I' or an 'i' small.

    So if I understand correctly, I charge Home premium, then simply use the upgrade key and it will unlock win Pro, or I have to download pro then install it on Home Premium and use the key?

    YES! As Andre also noted. You must activate Home Premium with his first touch, then simply use the key to upgrade Express to go Pro. Pro is already part of Home Premium and the key to upgrade Express just unlocks.
