  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• Error Windows Vista Startup Repair

  My HP PC was working great until yesterday.  My son worked on Microsoft word and trying to launch Mozilla Firefox when the PC froze on him.  He tried to restart but failed to start.  He tried to use the system to repair, but it failed.  Attempts to mulitple system restore function have not as well.  Trying to avoid wiping the hard drive, so I thought I'd post the error here and see if he had any suggestions.  Repairing the system fails with the search for the following bugs:

  Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88d1a2e0, 0x88d1a42c, 0 x 82232650
  Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88ce4d90, 0x88ce4edc, 0 x 82270650

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home Edition.  I can't get into the PC via the mode without failure or any other means.  The only options seems to be via the command prompt, although I have not yet tried.

  All appreciated the thought...

  ·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, proceed as follows (some does not apply if you use the recovery disk - but to be honest I don't know if it will work with only a recovery disc):

  1 put the Windows Vista installation disc (or the recovery disk) in the disk drive, and then start the computer.

  2. press a key when you are prompted.

  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  4. click on repair your computer.

  5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  ·        c:

  ·        Boot CD

  ·        BCD attrib s h - r

  ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  ·        Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly, click the F8 key during the boot and go into safe mode with network - or do it from the command prompt on the drive).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (skip this step if you are using the disk)...

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer - if you use the command line, type eventvwr and enter).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html

• For Windows vista: Startup Repair couln t repair problem

  I am trying to repair a laptop from a friend, but I'm new to this kind of thing and it's a problem starting. I don't think I have a hardware problem because I have the video but I can't load the operating system and I ranstartup repair, but he could not fix the problem. I received this message:

  Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

  Signature of the problem:
  Problem event name: StartupRepairV2
  Signature of the problem 01: Auto failover
  "' 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000

  ""10: 0.

  The problem started when my friend has installed updates, unfortunately I do not know what they are, and she said that she did not bring any modification other than recently. If you need more info I can try to help, but I'm kinda at a loss of what to do something without possible srewing up.

  What is the startup problem?  Are there any error messages, and if so what is the EXACT text (including all codes)?  Which version of Vista is?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!

  In the past months, if a tap some area of my computer when my computer is turned on, my computer has two answers to this. 1.) screen turning black but computer remaining on. Restart computer 2.). (This area is located to the left of my touchpad / touch area of my computer.)

  If I try to turn on my computer, the three "signs Lock" light on my computer and the icon of a cell tower. The screen remains black. So that my computer to turn back once again, I have to remove the battery for a few seconds and put back in.

  Recently, my computer wanted to check one of my disks for consistency. and on a different file each time, my computer is stuck on this one for a minute or two, then said the file file is unreadable / it is corrupt. It is then placed on the following, and the same thing again and again.

  Another problem is that some programs on my computer take a very long time to load, as well as tabs.

  Also, sometimes when I start my computer, he recommends that I launch startup repair. So I press on enter and it takes me to a screen that says basically that my OS is corrupted / not working properly.

  I tried to restore my computer to an earlier time, and when I do it gives me an error message saying something about Windows files is corrupt and cannot restore my computer to an earlier time before the problem is resolved.

  In the past, my computer had problems of heat fan.

  It also has a battery problem in which it loses its charge very quickly if not connected to a power source.

  I talked to a technician of the answer, and he gave me instructions to/on will my command prompt and try to create a new user account.

  On the first attempt, he told me to type the following: net user "Test" / Add

  The CMD response was that the password did not meet the requirements of the policy.

  Then he told me to try the following: ' user 'Test' net account / add ".

  The response was that «the system is not the specified path»

  Finally he told me to try the following: net user administrator / Active: Yes

  The answer was: "the user name was not found. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2221.

  Technology reply told me that the problem was more complex than he thought and said he had to do a session of access on my computer. He told me about the tax of $149.99 and I told him that I couldn't do it.

  Now, I came to the community in the hope of help.

  Thank you for your help, it's greatly appreciated! :)
