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

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

  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

  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

  No, at least not by us.

  Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
  laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

  There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
  and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
  sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

  But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
  are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

  For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
  lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

• I had to erase my hard drive, lost everything, but I re-installed windows 7 and it would not accept my key.

  I had to erase my hard drive, lost everything, but I re-installed windows 7 and it would not accept my key, do I have to buy a new key?

  Original title: Activation of Windows 7?

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• To install the device driver required to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, then click OK."

  I'm trying to move from xp to windows 7. I spent all the requirement but she says to install the device driver required to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files and then click OK. "what should I do? Where can I find the driver?

  Guess he would seek software/drivers for the chipset MB

  & sata/IDE controller software. Get the MB hardware specifications, go to the mfg

  Web site & download the software and drivers. If intel, download the chipset installation

  utility & install it 1. The other would be the SATA or / and drivers for the MB IDE

  controllers, 'Matrix Storage console' would be the one, also chk for desktop

  Internet downloads, amd, and other brand materials would be substantially the same.

• "If the corrupted hard drive will be the OS can be installed again"

  "If the corrupted hard drive will be the OS can be installed again"

  If the hard drive has minimal corruption in localized areas, you can reinstall Windows.  You will need to reformat the hard drive, however.  When you get to step in the installation process where it formats the hard drive, do not choose "quick" format  On the contrary, let him do a full format.

  My hard drive on HP PAVILION DV6T - 4000 NOTE failed. I need to order a replacement hard drive. Kindly let me know the best option for the same.

  Hello

  This is a technical director of the machine so very little information we can find. He uses this means you can use any standard SATA HDD SATA. If you want to buy the original size and the brand, you can order from HP, or any computer store.

  My suggestion: a WD SATA II 750 GB at 7200 RPM should work fine.

• Movie Maker: can not make dvd, unspecified error

  I made a holidaymovie with Windows Movie Maker 6.0, working with Vista Ultimate SP2 on a laptop Acer Aspire 9420. Got more memory (4 GB RAM). It has 20 GB free and the D-disk 40 GB of free space on my C drive. The original camera film is on an external hard drive. (Do not know if these things are important, but just in case...)
   
  I made a movie (68 minutes), I put the music on it and added some effects. Now I want to burn it to DVD + R (4.7 GB), but it does not work. An error message appears when the encoding (I don't know if it's the right translation in Dutch, it's "coderen") is 13.6%. The error message says: "can not make DVD, unspecified error. '
  The last time when I did a movie, I had the same problem and I solved it by cutting the movie in 2 parts. And I did the first piece gradually larger and at the end I managed to get the movie on a DVD.
  Now, I tried the same thing, but when I tried to burn the first part (34 minutes) on a dvd, the same error message is displayed, but now, at 27% (approximately).
   
  I already cleaned my computer, while I have more memory space. Last time, I changed the virtual memory, but that did not work.
  Who can help me?

  Some people have suggested it might be a problem with the Codecs.

  To see if there is problem with Codecs load MOVIE Maker and go to the tools /.

  Options / tab to check codec compatibility.   Do not delete the AVI file

  Compressor, at least not until you've tried without the other Codecs first.

  Windows Movie Maker and DVD Maker have enough similarities to make these interesting to read.  DVD Maker could actually be more tolerant and not so much, crash if you are able to use as an alternative?

  When recording to the DVD format, you can get about 120 minutes of video on a DVD and approximately 240 minutes of

  video on a DVD double layer.

  You might need to equivalent or even a little more an amount of free space on your hard drive to serve as a working
