• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.
