Making A Password Recovery Disk
Jan 30, 2008Have a Vista 32 Premium Home Edition and on the advice of "Goddess", I need to make a password recovery disk, as I just changed the Administrators Password. I see some sites online, but they say something about a USB Flashdrive, and I don't think I have this?!? Also, I trust more the people on this site who give advice, info and instructions.I do have a DVD/CD burner.

Sep 20, 2009I'm trying to do a system recovery for a friend. She has a gateway computer. I forgot the model. She is in another state so it's very difficult to do over the phone since basically it's like being blindfolded. Her computer is messed up so it looks like recovering using link one is out of the question. So my question is if I have her use the link 2 which requires the disc, how should I have her do the recovery? When it comes time to select what kind of partition to create which do I select? Format partition? She is the kind of person who is not familiar with computers and gets aggrivated pretty easily so I'm trying to do this as easy as possible.

Mar 20, 2010I have a Dell Inspiron 1545. My brother's friend was messing around with it and somehow put a password on it and I think it's stored on the eeprom chip since I can't get it to boot to the bios, safe mode, or anything at all. I have tried different generic passwords such as Admin but nothing's working. I see the Dell spash screen when it boots but then goes to a gray screen that says this computer is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password. After you try 3xs it shuts down. He says he doesn't know how he did it or what the password is.
I have a friend that has a recovery cd since he has the same laptop, but it won't even boot off of that. I've also tried taking out the CMOS battery for about an hour and it is still wanting the password which makes me believe that the passwords stored on the eeprom chip. Is there anyway to bypass this and fix my computer? I have tried contacting Dell, but get nowhere. They don't understand it will not reformat otherwise I would.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecovery Disk Reinstall
May 23, 2009I had to create a windows recovery disk
I used it to system restore her system to a date before she had set her password
and on the menu it said install vista
and on my old laptop that my dad has it's a 2gb compaq presario
they're not made anymore
it has low memory it's very slow and really
hardly useable without getting very stressed
so if I used the recovery disk I created
and click install vista
will it be like a new laptop?
there's nothing needed on the laptop
so nothing is being lost by resetting the laptop
it's got vista home premium x86
Recovery Disk Creation
Apr 27, 2009Last month I got a HP laptop and I forgot to take recovery disks.
Due to some problems, my OS got corrupted and so I re installed vista

softwares. Can I create a recovery parition or recovery disks with the
current setup? If yes, how? Also how many times can I create recovery
disks? Is it a one time process?
Recovery Disk Full
May 7, 2009I have a DELL laptop running VISTA. I have noticed that my D (recovery ) drive is almost full. I have gone through the routine of trying to erase all unnecessary files several times. The drive is still almost completely full despite all my efforts. The wastebasket is empty, I have deleted all duplicated files from, nothing works. The computer seems to only use the D drive and the C drive is more than 70% free space.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecovery Disk DL From Neosmart.net
Sep 11, 2009Unrelated to a recent previous post about a Vista Recovery Disk, I read today on How-To-Geek.com about one that Windows offered that is available for free DL from neosmart.net. It is supposed to function better than the recovery partition that is provided OEM with Vista on laptops. When I went there I DLed the 32-bit torrent file from their link, it turns out to be an html file that is just a bunch of code. I understand that the actual recovery disk is over 100MBs.
Can somebody fill me in about what I am supposed to do to get the actual neosmart torrent file to download with my DL manager (flashget)-- or do I do something with the html file I just got? Or do I have to DL it from their page into a bit torrent program?

OEM Recovery Disk Or Partition?
Nov 4, 2008I have a Compaq machine with HP software. My machine is running slow (it has a 2.5 rating) and four files come up missing when it boots. I would like to reinstall VISTA (or preferably XP if I can get a copy). I got the computer from a friend who does not remember what disks, if any, came with it. I have SP1 installed but I do not have a recovery disk or an original installation disk. How would I know if there was a installation or recovery disk? Would I likely get anywhere asking Compaq or HP for help?

Mar 26, 2008I am trying to create a Recovery Disk in my Acer laptop, I went through their User Manual and there was not enough information to the procedure. Could some one point me in the right direction so that I can do this. My hard disk has a hidden partition of 7.8GB with EISA Configuration but in the Disk Management it says it is 100% Free. The other partition is C: which is my system partition. I hope I have given enough information if not please let me know. I have also requested the Acer but I believe they will only direct me to their eRecovery Management Tool.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOS: Recognize The System Recovery Disk?
Apr 3, 2008What are the basic differences between XP & Vista? All we do is surf the web, email and download an occasional game. Norton AntiVirus is always on and always up-to-date. My XP machine is dying big time & I can't figure out how to save it. It won't recognize the System Recovery disk that came with the machine, but it will recognize other CDs. That CD must be bent or whatever. The SPs are up to date. I'm running Office XP and it is taking Word and Excel 7 or 8 seconds to load; it used to open in a snap. I installed the latest edition of Firefox and loading web pages with it is taking too long. Most pages should just snap open. I guessed we've been "phished" or whatever because some of the ads I run into know that I live in Seattle. Our network connection is DSL and we haven't made any changes of any consequence that I know of to this machine in ages. I put SpyBot on it a week ago and twice when WinXP started, the Spybot folder opened. Not the program but the folder.

Mar 23, 2008I'm having difficulty in parsing this quote from Microsofts own website "The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista&8212;available for all editions of Windows Vista except Starter" Now, I have an x64 CPU architecture PC, 4 GB of system ram, and only the 32-bit version of Vista Premium* pre-installed*. And unless I'm mistaken, I'm only entitled to a Recovery disk that I create or order from Hewlett Packard. I don't want to buy an upgrade or full install of the 64-bit Ultimate Edition. However, I do want the 64-bit version of the Premium Edition instead. Microsoft says that I can get a 64-bit edition here: Even if it requires a custom install (AKA "fresh install), I'm OK with that. Can I obtain the 64-bit Premium Edition (if it exists)? Has anyone done this?

May 19, 2010The wife has a box with 64bit Vista and someone ran a registery cleaner on it and cleaned the registery so clean that the system would not start windows. It went through the screen that gave the choices for set-up, recovery, etc then the safe, normal, etc start screen and regardless of what chose it would go dark and windows would never start but the activity light would keep flickering showing it was trying to do something. I took it in and repair used the recovery disk to set it back to factory setup!! :-(Is it possible to make a to make a recovery disk (as the factory labeled it) of the way I get it set that would be like the factory recovery disk which has a rcd.dat file and an image directory on disk 1 and a rcd2.dat file and an image directory on disk 2 so if the thing crashed again at the startup options screen that has the recovery option I could just use my home made recovery disk instead of the factory ones??
I know I can make a backup but if the system will not get past the screen with the recovery option what good are they. Will accept any comments on backups as long as I can also get an answer to the original recovery disk question also. Would be nice if I could do this on wife Vista box AND my XP box.

May 2, 2009My Vista desktop took forever to shut down last night and today it will not start at all. The hard drive spins briefly and then gives up. I have a recovery disk the CD drive lights but it will not start from there. I would like to get it up briefly to be sure I have no new photos to back up. I have Wubi Ubuntu installed and if I could get the thing started at all, I would be able to use it to make sure I can recover anything that I desperately need. I tried to start it with PC Linux OS which is capable of running from the CD drive, but no joy there either. I would love to give you more specifics but I can't since I can't view the info, I can't. It is an E-machine, one of their T series with 180 gig hard drive. It's got lots of RAM. I was running Vista but it was an upgrade from XP.

Mar 19, 2009I run vista 32 bit. I'm pretty sure it's Vista personal (PC didn't actually come with a Vista disk). I only use it for music and games,basic stuff. It's a Compaq....It shat itself recently, it wouldn't boot, so i borrowed the Vista Business disk from my dad to repair it/disk boot, and it worked fine, that was a couple days ago. Today it happened again, except it won't repair the same way. I start it up, it goes to the Compaq startup screen with 4 options; [Esc] Boot menu, [F9] Diagnostics, [F10] Setup, [F11] System recovery. Except I can never go to the diagnostics or system recovery menus, i press the keys and nothing happens. Then when i don't press anything it goes to a black screen with "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter", so i do. Then it says "Windows is loading files" with a white bar below, once that's done it goes to the Microsoft Coporation green load bar that scrolls across over and over. Then it suddenly stops for a few minutes and a blue screen appears saying
