Where to get the Windows vista recovery disk to do a clean install?

Where can I get the windows vista for any new installation disk. Both my recovery disk & HDD crashed. I had windows vista preinstalled.

Hello

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.

    A few weeks ago my hard drive laptop (bought about 3 years ago) of hp has been damaged permanently and cannot be fixed without replacing. Unfortunately, the laptop came not with disk in Windows vista Home premium and I have not all copies file stored in the hard disk recovery disk.

    Currently, I use a laptop computer with Windows xp, but I would like to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) using the product key that came with my previous hp laptop.

    Can someone tell me where to download the windows vista installation disc please? If the download is not possible, can I buy a new drive in windows vista?

    You can't put Vista in HP laptop on the XP machine.

    Read this:

    If Vista is preinstalled on your HP laptop, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  • Error 414 in Windows Vista Recovery disk

    I can't use the windows vista recovery disc because he meets the 414 error completely.

    Hi Rev_TheGreat

     

    The recovery disk appears to be damaged, defective, or damaged. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for support on the issue and see if they can help.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the windows xp recovery disk hangs 90%

    Setup formats to 90% and no longer is located at 90%, sometimes it says cannot read disk I just there in the mail from microsoft?

    Hi JeffPoe,

    1. Is that what you received the computer manufacturer's recovery disks?
    2. What exactly is the error message you receive?
    3. How did you start the installation? You install Windows XP on the new hard drive or a hard drive empty?

    Microsoft does not manufacturer or provide recovery disks.

    Recovery discs are supplied by the manufacturer of the computer.

    I suggest that you check if there is no scratches on the Windows XP installation disk, you can also clean the surface of the disc with a clean dry and check if it continues the installation.

  • Windows vista recovery disk.

    My hard drive crashed recently. Fearing the worst, I bought a new drive hard by I am unable to find my recovery disk. I always have my validation code. I got my computer to reboot, but I don't want to take any chances with the old hard drive. Is it possible that I can do a windows recovery disc, so I can run on the new drive before he decides to hang again. Also, I contacted the manufacturer and they said they no longer offer the vista recovery disks.

    Standard support vof vista is complete.  You may be able to get a dvd of Vista but if vista came pre-installed you will need to find an OEM copy.  I doubt you'll find one.  Might want to try eBay (but make sure that it is legitimate)

    If you can't find one that maybe this is the time for you to upgrade to win 7.

  • borrowed a vista installation disk to do a clean install can not activate my original key, it happens that does not apply as long as its an OEM key!

    My son borrowed a vista installation disc to do a clean install on my packard bell laptop using my original key of portable computers, everything is fine, but yesterday I tried to activate the key it happens that does not apply as long as its an OEM key! What can I do now? If I use my laptop recovery DVD will it be recognized by the operating system?

    Help please!

    The only "original" key on your laptop is on the COA sticker on the case - and NOT that of a magical JellyBean or Belarc Key recovery program.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

  • Can Tecra M9 - I upgrade the RAM and get a Windows 7 recovery disk?

    Hello!

    I want to know if it is possible to upgrade my Tecra M9 about RAM - memory? I think that I now have 2 GB.
    I also need to know if Toshiba sells a recovery disk to my computer with Windows 7, or do I have to buy a Windows 7 disc and serch for drivers on my own if I want to have the new operating system?
    My language on the portable computer setting is Swedish.

    Cordially Mikael

    Hello!

    I also put t know how much RAM have been mounted, but I checked the Tecra M9 user manual and it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This means that you need two modules with specification of SO-DIMM DDR2 200pin for upgrade. In the user manual, you can find some information about it.

    On the issue of Windows 7, I think that Toshiba will not release a Windows 7 recovery disc because this model isn't Windows 7 supported:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm

    You can install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc but you will have to collect the drivers on different websites or other, you use the Vista drivers.

  • Satellite A100-068 - for Windows Vista recovery disk

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite A100-068 where Windows broke down. When I turn it on it says configuration update 3 of 3. After awhile it will restart and returns with the same message. It is not possible to boot into safe mode. (Same problem). I searched the net for a concludes but only found that I have to reinstall windows (Vista Home premeum). My problem is that I Don t equipped of a Medea. The PC came with windows pre-installed, and there was no partition of medea or recovery disk recovery.

    Is it possible to buy DVDs that will work with the OEM installation (in Danish) license, or I can get a toshiba restore disk or?

    Please help me out here.

    Hey,.

    Normally, you need to create this recovery disc yourself using pre-installed recovery disc creator, but I think that now it s too late because Windows doesn't start anymore.

    But you can order the CD here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you can t order it, ask an authorized service provider. Alternative use a normal disc of Microsoft and the drivers of Toshiba page.

  • Satellite L40 - 18 x - where to get the reocvery Vista drive

    Thanks in advance

    Are you serious mate?
    You want to download the Vista operating system?

    First of all if this would be possible then nobody would buy a Microsoft Windows system disk.
    If you can read your user manual before formatting the HARD drive, then you will find information you need to create a recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool

    Now it s too late and if you want to reinstall Vista, then you will need to order the disk recovery from here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    But it s not for free

    Hi Michael

  • The Windows Vista startup disk crashes after the screen "loading files".

    I am trying to install Windows Vista on a new computer. The computer recognizes the boot disk and I can go beyond the "Loading files" screen, but when I get to the screen that looks like the standard login screen, the menu to install Windows never appears. The display will be just what it was. Any help would be appreciated.
