• Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

  My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

• How to clean my PC of the old Windows 7 Home Premium installation with a clean install

  My computer is so messed up! I'll tell you the whole story, please bear with me. OK, I came from work (16 years) and my father came to me and said, "your computer does not light, I have was to unplug the internet from behind." And of course, it does not. He would flash on and off very quickly every time, I pushed the power button. I solved this problem by discovering that when my father pulled the cord in the back, that one of the pimples on my motherboard popped to the motherboard touch the metal casing essentially shorting the motherboard, whenever I turned on. So I took everything out and put it back to find the power supply, I have currently failed now of all the short circuit or something because whenever I put in market system it would boot then restart and restart saying something anti-surge protector be activated because of a messed supply power. I went and bought a new and better. So, I solved this problem. Now a new problem happened, now I can't get past the windows loading screen as it freezes. So I reset CMOS to see, it did nothing. Then I tried to boot from the DVD, Windows 7 Home Premium only to find would be frozen when the (Windows Logo) orbs paths crossed 4 color. Then, I entered safe mode and was able to get the Windows 7 Installer and install showing. I went to remove my old partitians containing Windows 7 on my 60 GB SSD Intel Maple Crest 330.

I have not this is a faulty Windows drive as I already have successfully installed when I built everything first this PC. I tried the 2 RAM sticks in different configurations. I tried one of them in. I tried to connect the CD/DVD writer in different SATA ports. I don't know what else to do! Please help, help, help! Thanks in advance!

  A short circuit on the motherboard off short circuit on the food, you're lucky if everything works as it should.

  Defective material, irrespective of the reasons why, will make it almost impossible to install Windows.

  I suggest to use the warranty of the manufacturer of your motherboard and get it replaced. Then you can start from scratch, make sure that when you pull the power plug, it does not have one of the motherboard standoffs come off accidentally.

  When you install the motherboard next, ensure that you set up correctly and to ensure that the case sides are mounted safely because they add a lot of integrity to the case, bending and causing the motherboard to get in touch with everything that it should not stop...

I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

• Windows Vista installation disc: Black screen with a cursor and then nothing happens

  A blue screen appears when I try to start Windows and I'm trying to fix the computer through my installation disc I have. But when I try to run my Vista disk installation happening by loading the files fine. It then shows a black screen with a mouse cursor that moves. After that, nothing happens even if I leave it for hours to sit. It is a real disk Installation of Microsoft for Vista.

  If a clean installation of a real Installation of Vista disc does not work, then you probably have some kind of hardware problem (and the blue screen, you got before makes this even more likely).  You can try to do some troubleshooting on your own hardware, but frankly you probably put "t have tools or spare parts to do very much.  Here are some instructions that may help:http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

  If this does not work, then I suggest that you take it to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service where they can troubleshoot, diagnose, identify and possibly repair or replace the problem.  Before you import it in, I suggest that you protect your important data, as it is likely that they will wipe the hard drive clean in the process.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should hopefully give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, slave the drive to another computer and copy the data in this way.

  I'm sorry, we can not help more, but from your description there is no option of software if you do not have to do a clean install of an Installation of Vista genuine disc.

  I hope this helps.

• When to remove the Windows 7 installation disc during installation

  Hello;

  I read the response on the withdrawal of the installation disc. "After the first restart, change the settings to boot from the hard drive.

  Exactly where the first reboot happens so I can see for this? For example. After the installation of windows files.

  After developing the windows files.

  After installing the updates. I tried 4 times with a facility clean and every time, because it is always start from the disc, windows loops in the installation all over again.

  Than you

  When this phase of installation is completed, Windows will restart automatically and restart in Setup again. You can unplug it at this stage.

• Windows 7 on Pavilion a6500f - Clean install freezes

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on the Pavilion a6500f.

  I want to install on a newly formatted drive partition.

  Everything goes well until the end, when the installer says it finishes the installation.

  Then the computer hangs / crashes.  No movement on the screen, no response from the mouse, etc.

  I guess this is a problem with the video or audio driver, etc, but don't know how.

  NVIDIA has WIN 7 drivers on their site, but how would I integrate/slipstream them in the installation?

  I just wanted to add: it's the 64 bit version of WINDOWS 7 Pro, final version paid version.

  Well, the installation problem is solved, but it was a struggle.

  What I did to disable integrated video in F10 Setup and set it to PCI.

  Then I installed an OLD (c 1999) Creative PCI video card that I found in the basement in the PCI slot.

  Windows 7 installation is complete and then I did install all MS Windows updates, including the 2 or 3 elements of pilot which was to monitor Samsung.

  Then removed the PCI card and put configuration CMOS integrated onboard graphics subsystem.

  So far so good, everything is clean in the Device Manager, and the dual boot with XP SP3 works.

  None of this problem stated in the MS. compatibility tool

  Maybe if I had done the upgrade instead of custom there was no video problem (drivers?).

  We'll see what happens as more software is installed.

  Thanks for the tips.

• Unable to activate Windows 7 with upgrade CD (Clean Install)

  Hi Techies,
  I bought a laptop eligible for the upgrade to Windows 7. I had received the upgrade DVD and has been upgraded successfully. But after a year now because of the corruption of some files I had to reinstall Windows 7, after which it is said that the key is not valid. I tried a clean install. even tried using the Vista recovery disk and upgrade so that the previous method. but still no luck. Can someone advice how this problem can be solved.

  >.. even tried using the recovery Vista disc and then move like the previous method. But still no luck.
  When you install Vista using the original Toshiba recovery disc you will be activated Vista with valid license key. Will upgrade just to upgrade Vista preinstalled, and it must not be enabled.

  After the fresh install of Win7, activate preloaded but button down will not work because this key belongs to Vista original you got with your laptop.

  Is it possible that this update of last year was a success and this year won't work?

• Legal use of the Windows XP installation disc.

  What can I use the installation CD to do and what I can't use it for?

  1. can I use my XP Pro disc to reinstall a file missing in a friends XP Pro?

  2. can I use my XP Pro disc to do a repair/install on my XP Pro PC friends?

  3. my friend had to format his PC, I can do a re-install with my XP Pro CD on his PC by using his license number?

  5. If the answer is no to all these questions, how can my friend solves its problem without having to buy a new license for Windows XP Pro, just to get a new copy?

  If I understand the EULA, I can take anything but stock #4 (EULA 1.5), but I can't find any information on this subject. precise logic that if I buy a license for Windows XP Pro, I hold this license until I decide to dispose of it. Material (CD of the OS) is just a tool, and not subject to the EULA. But the EULA says that I can not copy it expect... As the EULA says that I can install the program on a different PC if I buy another license, I guess I \if this license is already judged, a re-installation would be OK for the PC of someone who did not have the CD of the OS.

  1. can I use my XP Pro disc to reinstall a file missing in a friends XP Pro?
  Yes, you can

  2. can I use my XP Pro disc to do a repair/install on my XP Pro PC friends?
  You cannot run a repair because the product key is different
  You can do an install of XP as long as your friend has his own legal product key to use when installing
  

  3. my friend had to format his PC, I can do a re-install with my XP Pro CD on his PC by using his license number?
  Yes. It's really the license number (product key), so that you pay.
  

  4. can I make a copy of my XP Pro installation disc for my friend as his is severely damaged?
  Yes, as long as he has his own legal product key

• Windows 7 installation disc

  I was looking for a link to download the iso of windows 7 to create a Setup disk.

  I've failed so far.

  Inspiron 660

  The problem is that Microsoft has broken the Digital Distribution of Windows 7 and replaced it with the software recovery tool Microsoft does not work. There is no way to download a file to the Dell OEM of Windows 7 license .iso image.

  If you work the factory settings, you can create recovery media using Dell backup and restoration as demonstrated here:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/

  Factory settings are not equivalent to a clean install, but when Windows 10 came out in late summer (which is a free update for users of Windows 7) a .iso should be provided for any new installation.

  

  Otherwise, as you are in the United States. If your system is under warranty you can get Dell installation media will:

  www.Dell.com/recoverymedia

  Unfortunately, most of the systems of Windows 7 will have expired warranty, and Dell are makes them difficult to obtain the installation simply media due to the policy of Microsoft.

• Download on the Microsoft site for Windows 7 installation disc.

  As a first step please check the product key. I typed in the figure of 25 key product exactly as described on the Microsoft Certificate, attached to my office when I bought it new. The o/s was preinstalled by the manufacturer Fujitsu-Siemens.

  Microsoft will not check my product key stating "it is not supported or my version is wrong. It's ridiculous, my windows is already active and running for many years in Vista with a certified product ID. In addition I received regular updates of Microsoft windows.

  So, how can I fix this nonsense to complete the installation disc?

  Unless you have already tested the compatibility of your computer with Windows 7: -.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

  Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard - download [This can run on Windows XP, so it must be able to run on Vista]

  In addition to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you may want to run an equivalent for Windows 10.  Unfortunately, you will have to use a substitute because Windows 10 pre-staged at level [GWX] cannot run on XP so I guess it cannot work on Vista.  So, to launch the wizard to upgrade Windows 8 instead which doesn't work on Vista.  Windows 10 system requirements and Windows 8 system requirements are pretty much the same if the results will be useful.  The first versions of the system requirements of Windows 10 has also stated that the processor (CPU) must support SSE2, NX, EAP extensions, but I have never established if my CPU reaches this spec [I just know that it works fine] and I have absolutely no idea if this part of the obligation has become irrelevant or is simply omitted for brevity.

  It is worth to run the Upgrade Advisor, even if you have already decided to go and install the new OS.  At the very least they would warn you of the hardware components you need to pay attention to.  Later, you can get better drivers installing the OS gives you - where to find the hardware drivers.

  I realize that you do backups of all of your own files, files of installation of any applications that you downloaded and product keys for all your applications.

  I realize that you will also do an image of the system so that you can go back to square one if everything goes wrong.  You must also make sure that you have both made & tested the hot spare / boot disk required by your utility Imaging System.  Macrium Reflect is an imaging Center free I've seen many people recommend.

  If you have a factory restore utility then you might find that your computer manufacturer has also provided a way to backup who until USB so that you can run the procedure to boot from USB, although the attempt to upgrade preventing your computer from starting.

  I'm not trying to say he'll be all this trouble, just that it will be worth the effort to prepare for this eventuality.
