  In general, yes your reinstall Dell drive is identical to a disc to install Windows genuine.

  The differences are not applicable for the repair procedure. (FYI - Toshiba and HP Vista, the disks cannot be used to perform a repair install, while gateway disks will work for Vista)

  Hello

  You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing F11 at startup. (Power on / start)

  You can also make your own recovery discs.

  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

• 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.

• Windows Vista (damaged) iTunes library

  I have a PC with Windows Vista. My iTunes has about 8000 songs in my library. Most have been burned CDs, mp3 Youtube and a few itunes purchases.

  About 3500 are grouped into playlists. Only my playlists are synced to an iPod classic.

  I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

  the "repaired" computer itself - took a few hours...

  Today, I burned a few songs from the CD to add to my itunes library.

  Now these two CD accounts for almost my entire library - I can also find a few old Itunes purchases

  in the iTunes library.  But 95% of the library is "gone".

  There is a folder called Itunes library (damaged) which has 2.5 MB. I suspect that this is my previous library and playlists.

  I can't get it open.

  I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

  Can anyone help?

  The song files are probably still stored on your computer.  The "damage" was to your file to iTunes (the one marked as "damaged") library database.  The iTunes Library.itl file is what keeps track of songs (and other media) in your iTunes library and where their media files are stored.  If it is damaged, iTunes creates a new (empty) iTunes library database file.  Real media files are not in the iTunes library file, they are stored elsewhere.

  I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

  the "repaired" computer itself - took an hour or two.

  NOTE: If there are general data corruption, it may have also affected some of your media files (not only your iTunes library database file).

  The default location (for your iTunes media files) is account user music (or music), and then in the iTunes folder in your folder.  Using Windows Explorer, to see if you have a folder called iTunes Media to this place (it can be called iTunes Music).  If you do, look inside to find your song files, organized by media type, then artist name and album name.  If you use default iTunes, songs that you imported to CD via iTunes should be there.  Songs purchased from iTunes Store should be at this place.  The song files added from an external source (not directly imported from CD or iTunes Store) may or may not be stored at this location.

  I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

  When you find your music files, copy them to a disk of a certain type.  On the new computer, run iTunes.  Go to the Advanced iTunes preferences pane.  There is a setting here to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media.  I think that the option is not checked by default for Windows, but you should check in your case.  The other setting to keep iTunes Media folder organized must also be checked, if it isn't already.

  Show your music library in the iTunes window.  In the external drive with your song files, drag the song files or folders containing music files to the iTunes window and the drop.  iTunes adds all the compatible media files it finds in your new iTunes library.  Alternatively, instead of drag and drop, you can use the Add to library iTunes command in menu bar, under file.

  NOTE: This adds only your old media files to a new iTunes library.  Data such as playlists, ratings, number of coin, date added, etc are not transferred.  If you want to retrieve these data support, you can get it back on the old PC.  Please report if you want to try to do, instead of just transfer your media files to the new PC.

• Windows vista installation disc does not start.

  So I decided to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of windows vista. It was working fine until after you have installed sp1. I restarted the computer, and there's just a black screen. 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.

  When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

  Hello

  If you got this message hard disk, perform a test of it.
