Windows Vista restore

I'm working on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC-DV6500 for a colleague who tried to replace Vista by XP (and re-formatted the drive, removal of the current recovery partition) because they said that they did not get a Vista repair disc when they bought the laptop and when he had problems, installed on an XP disk they still had.

What is the best (and preferably the best) way to go to restore Vista on his machine?

Hello

You can order a set of replacement of the Vista recovery discs original using the link below.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

Kind regards

  • My computer has been infected with "Windows Vista restore" what should I do to get rid of him?

    The fake security program Window Vista restore"scans my computer and tells me I have several hard drive errors.  It has blocked access to my computers system restore and defragment utility, appeared to 'clear' all my files (like images taxes) and I get the error pop ups telling me to turn off the computer because "hard drive failures.  When I click on cancel, x or anywhere on the box, the system stops.   When I restart, the same fake program starts begins to scan my computer again.  I tried running my Trend Antivirus scan and when the scan is about 99% complete, the fake program does not scan continue.  What should I do to get rid of him?  I'm asked to pay for an upgrade of the software, but have not entered my card number.  I'm afraid that my data has been hacked... including the loss of my photo albums.  I'm currently installing updates to windows on the computer.  Will he get rid of it?

    Hello

    do you mean Windows Recovery?

    read this:

    Windows Vista Recovery is a program of analysis and optimization of fake computer that displays false information in order to scare you into believing that there is a problem with your computer. Recovery of Windows Vista is installed via Trojan horses that display fake error messages and warnings of security on the infected computer. These messages will state that there is something wrong with the hard drive of your computer, and then suggests that you download and install a program that can solve the problem. When you click on these alerts, recovery of Windows Vista will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer.

    Once installed, Windows Vista Recovery will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. Once started, several error messages appear when you try to launch programs or delete files. Windows Vista Recovery will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors, he said, he can't fix until you purchase the program. When you use the defragmentation tool called it will specify that it should run in Mode safe and show then a background in Mode Safe false who pretended to defragment your computer. As this program is a scam do not be scared by buying the program when you see its alerts.

  • Windows Vista - restore ended successfully.

    Had some problems with my laptop from last night. I accidentally dropped it on the desktop on a height of perhaps 4 inches, which for me is a not seem like a problem in time. Now I got problems with my laptop does respond to nothing. Are examples of couple, I was surfing the web and waiting for a page to load and it was never answered. Could not ctrl + alt + dlt to so had to turn off the switch. Another example is my computer stops do not. I told him to stop and he does nothing except watch icon next to my mouse. Waited for about 30 minutes and still nothing. Tried to restore twice this morning and get an error stating that the restoration was unsuccessful due to an unspecified problem. I'm not very good with computers, so if it is a simple difficulty then I apoligize for wasting time for everyone but I'm not sure what's wrong.

    It may be useful to eliminate equipment defects

    Type of memory in the search box of start and choose Memory diagnosis

    In a command prompt (type command in the start search box, then right-click and)
    Choose run as administrator) type

    CHKDSK c: /r

    If you have more than one drive replace C: with the other drive letter.

    Also test the memory with diagnoses of the memory (memory type in the search to start
    box).

    Where are the "System Restore" files in Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I would like to simplify the installation process.

    Is there a program in Windows Vista Home Premium which can create an image disk for future use.

    Is there a good disk image program/software?

    Can I record a restore point on an external drive? That is, only the last 5 days of "restore points" are available in the system restore.

    Hi rich,

    What kind of backup do you have?  If it were a full image backup, restoring them will be difficult unless you restore the entire image.  If it was a normal backup of files and folders, it should be fairly simple.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on backup and restore Vista process

    http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.Backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.   It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):

    Karthikeyan devalla.

    Karthikeyan Devalla,
    Here are the instructions to remove some of the restore points using disk cleanup.  Your system is configured to record everything automatically on your computer at periodic points so if you need to restore your system files will be there.  But sometimes, you get more restore points that you want or need and he can eat a lot of disk space.  Here's how to control this.

    You can use Disk Cleanup to remove points of restoration and the free space on the hard disk on your computer.

    Disk removes the cleanup all but the last restore point on your computer. In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files. Previous versions are also deleted.
     
    1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
     
    2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click files from all users on this computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
     
    3. If prompted, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
     
    4. click the other Options tab.
     
    5. under System Restore and shadow copies, click Clean up, and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click on delete.
     
    6. If you want to continue using disk cleanup for other drives on your computer, click the Disk Cleanup tab. To quit Disk Cleanup, click Cancel.
