Windows asks me to insert the recovery disk when that I start.

Original title: Microsoft Windows Vista Recovery Disc

I have a samsung computer. I recently had a virus attack, lost all my photos. My computer then shut down (i think) and now when I turn it on she prays for a recveory disk (microsoft windows vist I think), I can't find. Is there anyway that I can buy this record? And if I do, my photos will be recovered? Or, is there another way to recover my lost photos? Thank you!

Hello

Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

____________________________________________________________

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

__________________________________________________________

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • HP Pavilion g6: after having improved 8.1 to windows 10, which is on the recovery disk?

    I'm new to the forum, I hope I posted in the right place.

    After having improved 8.1 to 10, which is on the windows recovery disk? If this isn't windows 10 what should I do to create a new recovery disk? or should I remove it?

    I have a USB recovery for windows 8.1 if I should need it.

    I have created a disk to repair windows 10 and have a system image on an external hard drive.

    I didn't beleave I need in fact the disk recovery that I have a backup option, but I would be nice to have the ability to recover from training. I understand the backup option that I have will allow me to get back if I lose the reader.

    Please notify

    Thank you in advance.

    After having waited 22 days for a reply on the forum, I finally rang HP support.

    The answer is that the recovery disk is windows 8. It has not been updated by windows 8.1 or 10.

    Very, very disappointed that I couldn't have it on the forum.

    9. Desktop HP pavilion s5-1540: using the recovery disk

      I have the recovery disc I made when I got this pc.

      Now, I need to use.  I started the pc with the disc, but nothing happened.

      Can I get advice on how to use the recovery disk?

      Note.  I'm not very computer savy.

      I sent my pc in for repair to a place of repair no HP (insurance).  They have installed a generic operating system but there is no program file.  I want my pc as it was when I got it.

      I can't get these disks to run.

      any help is much ajppreciated.

      Insert the recovery disk 1 in the drive, restart the PC, when you see the HP logo screen start to type F9 on the keyboard, this should load the Boot Manager, and then highlight (using up/down keys) internal CD-ROM drive cd/dvd and press ENTER, it will now boot from the recovery disc 1 and we hope to start the restore process.

      It is a long process not to disturb the tactile keys or pc, while he recovers, it will reboot several times on his own, you know when it is done when it asks you to set up the pc for first time use.

      Make sure that the recovery discs are clean before you start.

      What can I do?

      The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

      Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

    12. Sale of OEM computers without the recovery disk

      I just bought a computer from a State surplus auction.  The computer came with Windows XP Home installed, and a certificate of authenticity attached to the case.  However, there was no recovery media included in the sale.  Is it legal to sell me the computer as it is?  Everything I read says I need to include the recovery disk so that the license transfer legally, but I feel that the reason is so that I have more copies of the software.  Is this correct?
      Thanks in advance!

      When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

      This looks like a utility Acer protect disk hard & possibly also the BIOS.  You will need to consult your manual for Acer.  You have configured a password of HDD that you are now trying to recover, by chance?  This recovery is not possible if the hard drive has been password protected.

      If it was a Windows login screen then it would show your user/admin name and password entry area & would be clearly identified as a Windows form of the version of Windows being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

    16. I reformatted my T520 with the recovery disk, but Windows cannot start

      I reformatted my T520 with my recovery disk. When the computer restarts, it says that Windows cannot start properly. Help, please.

      I finally solved the problem; Here is my solution:

      I have determined that the backup image has been bad, and this is perhaps why the recovery disks have been as bad. I tried to use both to reformat the C:\drive several times without success. Fortunately, I had a Windows 7 disc from another computer that I no longer use. However, the T520 would not be updated to Windows 7 using this disk, so I run Diskpart to reformat all (this removes everything, including the image.) Then, I was able to reinstall Windows 7.

      With this new facility, would not any responsible drivers, including LAN and wireless drivers. I went on the Lenovo Web site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?selector=expand to download the driver for "Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg). This provided wireless access to the computer. (Downloaded the driver on another computer, saved on a USB stick to transfer to the T520.) Restarted the computer in case where. Then, I went to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE to download ThinkVantage System Update 5.0. After you have installed this software and reboot, all the necessary drivers would be so loaded.

      Unfortunately, if you don't have any Windows disk, you will need to pay 50 dollars to get one from Lenovo. Lesson learned? Next time I buy a new computer, the first thing I would do is to reformat and reload the computer by using the image while still under warranty. I did several times with my other Lenovo laptops without fail. I have to do this once every 3 years each time my computer seems to slow down. This is the first time, it didn't work.

      I hope this help anyone who is in the same situation.

      (Boy, I have miss the good old days when I could fix everything from the DOS command prompt.)
