• Ask about the loss of my windows vista installation media.

  Hello

  I had a Windows Vista Home premium installation DVD as well as the purchase of my Dell laptop, however I lost my installation media but have the COA label with me. My query is, can I get a downloaded version of Windows vista from Microsoft and use the existing serial key or should I get a new copy of a store licensed?

  Thank you and best regards,
  Biju.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Call Dell and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

• As an owner legitimate Windows XP Pro (OEM 64), where can I get installation media?

  Simple question - I would like to download the installation media to reinstall a laptop that I bought with this OS on it, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere from an official source from Ms.

  A lot of torrent sites do it by download, but they're all suspects because of the Canadian Red Cross, possibly indicating compromise of different software.

  Here's what I know on this topic (which isn't much):

  This is document HP support recovery command: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143 note the following: "HP maintains an inventory of recovery disks of replacement several years after the product was released. However, due to software license restrictions, HP is able to provide a recovery disc for a limited time. "This bodes well for you.

  I suggest that you post a question with the exact error, including the error code, the HP Windows XP Forum: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Windows-XP/bd-p/itrc-279#.ULKOXIbn-wA you can also post the same question as a new thread (do not add to it) in the forum XP Repair and recovery here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1353879231110

  It is my understanding that you can use a generic "OEM" version of Windows XP with the product key on the laptop - also for a long time that the generic OEM CD is the same version that is indicated on the COST of the laptop (XP Home, XP Pro).  I've seen comments to the effect that the CD must also be the same service pack (if the certificate of authenticity indicates a service pack), but I'm not sure about this.  The problem in your case would be to find a generic CD OEM XP Pro x 64.  Here this one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windows-XP-Professional-32-bit-SP2-Full-Version-NO-COA-OEM-/110980131583?pt=US_Operating_Systems_Software&hash=item19d6ee6aff

  I noticed several other eBay offerings, which appear in the sale of the CD OEM XP Pro x 64 which include a product key.  I take no position on the question of whether items are legitimate or whether included product keys will work.

• Windows 7 recovery media is unable to complete the installation

  I have had a total hard drive on my HP Pavilion DV6-3108EA failure and got the relevant HP recovery media and install a spare drive compatible plug - in this case, it's a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 500 GB solid state of direct replacement for the deceased Samsung 500 GB disk drive. Drive diagnostic confirms that the replacement drive is fully functional without error.

  The recovery kit comes with 3 DVDs. tightening of the bolts 1 and 2 are the Windows 7 recovery media and #3 is the recovery of applications and drivers. 1 recovery attempt has done OK, loaded all three DVD but eventually stuck at a screen "loading devices (40%). ", which would not go further even after a night's sleep. Therefore, power off, and...

  Attempt 2 is better. I jumped 3 DVD and the construction seems to be almost complete but finally stopped with hearwarming message that "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation"frustrating, I think you'll agree.

  Out of curiosity I tried ctrl-alt-del what task manager open nicely and from there I was able to do many things including use setup to reconnect to my wireless router, enter the number of license Win 7 OK and activate windows, get the right keyboard configuration and launch a copy of IE8 with which I am still typing this message.

  It seems so I have a PC almost fully functional except that Windows could not complete the installation and if I click the OK button in the offending dialog box, it restarts and returns to the same dialog box. Very frustrating. Oh and there is no button start / menu start so clearly there are always things to be completed.

  The recovery media is "System Recovery Kit for portable Pavilion or Presario" (COL35379_631054_031) for which I paid £35,12 and expect to deliver the goods. But it doesn't work. Also remarkable is that the recovery media did not build a D: partition of recovery disk, contrary to what he says. Can anyone help?

  It's frustrating. Fortunately, I can also access this forum and this email addressfrom my Android Tablet and check there return from time to time. Really appreciate your ideas and help here.

  Either by the way, on a different thread, I read the assertion that HP requires to change a chip on the motherboard when you change a drive. This disc is loaded with tools and Windows software and saving the configuration changes as my wireless network details I don't buy that one. Thanks for reading this far.

  Hoping for wise leaders to help me move forward.

  With regard to Al

  So close and yet so far.

  But I would like to clear one thing up to HP support were excellent - good focus on my ideas of the problem and a commitment to see it through.  No worries about to buy me the hot spare elsewhere.  Problem still not solved, but I'm more forward with other ideas to pursue.  I was told to reset the BIOS date to 2012 (don't know what difference that would make but there) and the construction has progressed much further this time.

  More anon, but had to post a message praising the support that I received today.

  Result!

  Fixing the date of the BIOS to 2012 has allowed the recovery to go much further, but still have up to a point where he had failed.  So, why?

  Silly me!  Should have read the instructions on the screen and their follow-up religiously.  Eventually, the restore process (which takes a lot of time) begins to re - install applications and other things.  The message on the screen at the beginning of this process very clearly said that it will automatically reboot several times.  However, being a little too eager to get there, I finally saw a message that said that such and such an application requires a restart to complete the installation and stupidly I clicked the button restart now.  Who killed for the rest of the installation.  Finally I have sussed out - and kept following reconstruction my itchy fingers away from the mouse to the manuscript to rebuild whole had been terminated, making his own restarts suff and hey hop... a PC entirely restored with a nice new Samsung SSD drive.

  As an aside, if you plan to replace your hard drive (defective or not) with a Samsung SSD tested loading the Wizard software that comes with it to optimize the OS to SSD hardware.  It optimizes the things like the prefetcher and Super-fetch to the machine and the drive to work more effectively together - very impressive.

  Kudos to HP who were great support.  I know that some people say thay have bad experiences.  Mine here in the United Kingdom was outstanding.  The guy listened, asked good questions, gave good advice and has been a pleasure to work with - what would you like... oh yes, his advice worked!

  Thanks to HP real home to my little crisis.

  A lot of work to do now to recover data, backups (yes I) and re - install a large number of tools that I use, but all disks are there and it's just a matter of time now.

  All the best

  You could try to copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your hard drive. Then start the installation from there.

  (I've seen a post or two during the upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32 bit). Could just be a funky DVDROM drive problem. Copy of the files should ignore the issue.

• What information do you provide to meet the requirements of the "proof of purchase". I try to replacement command Windows installation media.

  Proof of the purchase question

  Hello

  I was wondering what information you must provide to meet the requirements of the "proof of purchase". I'm trying to order replacement windows installation media.

  Also, is it still possible if my version is an OEM version?

  Thank you

  The problem is that OEM System Builder copies are not for end users to install on their own computer.  The license of SB on the wrapper warns that it is for an installation on a computer for sale to customers.  Setup of OEM software is responsible for support then yes I think you're out of luck.

• My PC will not repair or install an operating system. I tried with Vista, 7 and Windows Server 2008 installation media, but it does not get as much as the first menu.

  As it is said above. Everything worked fine until a few days ago. Now, it will fail to start correctly wih STOP 0 x 00000024 (ntfs corruption), but I can't boot from any installation media to reinstall the OS or repair Vista. All I get is the wallpaper but no menu. I tried to unplug the SATA HDD and inserting an IDE drive with no effect.

  I can't start to BACK among the several start-up/repair CD I tried but I am unable to boot from a DVD of Windows XP PE (BartPE or Hiren boot CD), but I can boot Knoppix Linux (5.3.1 and 6.4.3).

  All I want to do is run chkdsk /r and then either to repair or install a new OS to make it work again.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi deacon829,

  You did changes to the computer before that happened?

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

  If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

  Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

• 0xc0000225 error code - request installation media for Windows 8

  I recently got an Inspiron 15R SE 7520 with pre-installed Windows 8. It has a huge 1 TB hard drive, I decided to divide it into three easier to manage partitions and proceeded to do so using EaseUS Partition Master. When you restart the system, I got the following error message:

  Recovery

  Your PC needs to be repaired

  A required device is not connected or is not accessible.

  Error code: 0xc0000225

  You will need to use the tools of recovery on your installation media. If you don't have any facility (such as a disc or USB device) support, contact your system administrator or the PC manufacturer

  Press Enter to try again

  Press F8 for startup parameters

  Press ESC for UEFI firmware settings

  1. you press on enter. Nothing happens

  2. press F8. Managed to find the option "restore factory settings". Saved and restarted. Nothing happens.

  3 press Esc. Ran the system diagnostics and a few hours later, the result is that everything is fine. Restarted and I'm back to the blue screen with the first message.

  I googled this problem, and all the proposed solutions begin by booting from the Windows installation CD/DVD and run a command at the command prompt. But:

  I don't have any medium of installation of Windows and I can't go to the command prompt.

  I not create recovery discs.

  And the recovery on the hard drive partition does not work.

  My request:

  I obviously need an installation of Windows 8 media. How can I get? I contacted the store where I got the laptop, but they are not you answer, and the application form, I found online does not work for the United Kingdom.

  A final update on this issue:

  I got the DVD of the shop where I got my laptop since. But I couldn't boot from the DVD automatically.  in order to boot from the DVD, I followed the instructions here: http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/110162/Add+Boot+Option+using+Insydeh20+setup+utility

  After booting from the DVD, I got to the command prompt, and then run the commands like here: http://itsolutionsblog.net/solution-to-your-pc-needs-to-be-repaired/

  ! BUT! The last command line does not. It must be

  BCDboot c:\Windows /s /f UEFI z:

  without the : after the f. And then, there is a confirmation message that the boot files have been created

  And then my cell phone was able to start normally.

  I want to install windows 7 and I was wondering if I can take the dvd from the drive after the installation. Or should I keep it there to set up the hardware and install the video drivers?

  Know not why you need to release the DVD (unless you are installing on multiple computers and you need the DVD as soon as possible - which case I suggest you get some 4 GB USB sticks and making the installation media bootable off of them for speed and flexibility in this situation - but once the files are copied and extracted - you can remove the DVD.
   
  If you ask because you are caugfht in a boot loop - just change your BIOS settings so it starts on the second CD/DVD drive and the hard drive first and then determine what needs to specify the bootable media to power on the key combination (for example, Dell is F12) and the press who After turning on the machine until you get the selection menu and choose the DVD of the first hour and then ignore it from there on.

  Hello

  Thank you for your response.

  I understand your concern.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  I suggest you to updating the BIOS of your computer from the manufacturer's website and then try again to install Windows 8

  Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Need to create an installation media for Windows 8 (not 8.1)

  I recently had need to reinstall Windows 8.1 due to a crash problem. I am now stuck because of the key, I bought and that a Microsoft tech I had a chat session with said use the button install Windows 8 on the following page:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

  Well, it doesn't work and think that I have no internet connection then further down the same page is a link to create the installation media if you get this message but isn't only for 8.1 8. My key does not work on a clean install of Windows 8.1, which I already have a DVD. When I came across this problem, a comment I found said to use a generic key because the installation will not continue. Well, it worked, but when I tried to activate Windows with my purchased key, he acknowledged, because apparently my installation media was just 8.1 and not Pro that I bought. I asked the tech if I could use the web page above to reinstall Windows again and he said yes, but make sure you use Windows 8.

  I saw the link above referenced in many places on this forum for people who want to install 8 don't not 8.1, but it leads to the same place, and when you launch mediacreationtool.exe, there are only options for 8.1.

  I've been going round in circles on links to Microsoft, but the creation of the only available media seems to be to 8.1. Where can I download the installation for Windows 8 only media?

  It shows how to use a WIndows 8 key to activate a Windows Installer Clean 8.1 in stage 4 information box in the blue link.
