You need to reinstall Vista and all programs, what is happening to organization photo now?

I was stupid and cleaned my registry and removed something I shouldn't... after other attempts to repair it failed, now I have to just start over with a clean reinstall of my OS (Windows Vista 32-bit).  I have a Western Digital external hard drive "My Book Essential" which has ALL my photos and if saved documents.

Because I have to reinstall after PS Elements 9 install the Vista clean, what happens when I transfer all my pictures to the computer?  They will still organize common sense in the Organizer (i.e. same subcategories, etc.)?  In other words, was the info for tags and categories written permanently to each photo and will be automatically read by the program Elements 9?

I have almost 40 000 photos that were all organized so wonderfully... I'd be devastated if I had to start over. :-(  I hope someone has some good news for me!

Thank you!!

Just use Backup and Restore.  This Adobe document for more details see (even if it was written for PSE6, procedures remain the same):

  • Windows Vista-used to get the blue screen with the error on it. Re-installed Vista and the programs one by one w/restorations. Now, I get the blank screen minidump file blue w/error after reboot and...

    I find the minidump files and tried opening them and could not. Files and downloaded programs of debugging appear in the program. When I try to open them I get "you must be an administrator to open" insofar as I know that I am the administrator because supposedly everything I need is another administrator account. Also my restore will pass in a few days, and the box is no longer available. Also had an error on my printer files so I removed them, but as I (after) that I pressed the firm PC, the blue screen appeared and had to turn it off manually and of course got the minidump error message when I started again. If at this point, I'm still waiting to see if deleting the files printer helped. Any information would be appreciated.

    OK, I'll look for your next post with minidump files.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    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.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making 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

  • What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.

    What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.  It seems to make the computer too slow.  I don't have a Vista disc, only the recovery CD I did in the beginning. Can I recover and just reinstall Vista, or should I get back it?
    Thank you
    Bill

    original title: recovery

    If your "Vista recovery disc" is provided by the manufacturer of your computer, be it Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, etc... Then chances are he's doing a thing. Completely format your hard drive and restores your computer to the day you brought it home. It's a major nuisance for many people these days, as if you have an error and Windows says 'Please insert the Vista CD to fix it Windows' well, you do not HAVE the CD to correct the error. Your only option is a complete erasure of all data.

    So, my advice is to avoid ever NEED to use the recovery CD, and if you don't... hope you have backups of your important data (which is another thing, backup your important data often!).

    Hi Helen,

    If you try to start from scratch, the new facility is the option.

    Note: after a clean installation, all data, programs, and drivers on the computer will be lost. It is recommended to make a backup of your important data before performing any installation. You need to reinstall the device drivers. Make sure that you back up office documents before re-formatting of the computer.

    You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to reinstall Windows Vista.

  • After reinstalling VISTA and check. The audit says that the code is in use. How do I overcome this?

    I bought a computer from PCSecialist in 2007. The computer has been painful, I have reinstalled several times, but this time I can not check the program.

    If you hear that the check indicates you that... product key is in use.

    Then, you need to activate Vista by phone. Use this tutorial...

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

    Pay attention to step 2: how to do a phone Activation.
    Note: If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista.

    If you can not always activate Vista, repost to install, upgrade and activate forum:

    Hey davidsmum

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Vista and all applications of Toshiba on the recovery disk?

    Hello everyone

    I have problem with recovery disk on my laptop.
    When I had formatted my HDD I lost my recovery and I can't return it.
    That is why I need order of Toshiba backup recovery, but I have a question about it.

    Could you please give me some information?
    Are my lost Windows Vista and applications Toshiba on backup recovery?

    I thank very you much for the replies.

    Hello

    The Toshiba Recovery disk contains your laptop factory settings. This means that the operating system (in your case, Windows Vista) and all the drivers Toshiba and tools. It s like you started the laptop first time.
    In addition, the disc contains a picture of the factory settings and compared to a Microsoft disk you save a lot of time because already installed updates to Windows and all the drivers and tools you need to work properly for laptop.

    I hope I could help a bit to understand.
    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • I need to reinstall Vista on my laptop on a drive, have questions.

    I have a backup disk & need to reinstall Vista.  Clean up some stuff on my laptop before I do it & if sowhat to do?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    If the backup disk is created using any built-in utility (recovery disk), you can use the disk to restore PC to factory default state. If you intend to restore the PC using the disk, the disk may completely format the hard disk and to restore. But, you can start the recovery process from the PC, without the need to restore disc, because the PC contains a separate recovery partition. You can begin the process of recovery of the partition of hard drive also. Consult the manual of the PC user for more information.
