Burn a Windows Vista DVD

I have a Ideapad Y430 that came without any DVD but with Vista preinstalled. Is there any way to burn a Vista DVD that can be used for recovery in case of problems (without using OneKey)
Thanks.

Do you want a Vista installation disk?
Or
Do you want to create a recovery disk?
For the former, you must contact Lenovo for the Vista installation media.
For the latter, you can use OneKey to create a base backup and then burn the recovery disk. However, this recovery disk only works if the partition size remains unchanged. You will need to create a partition of the exact size for the disks to work on a new hard drive [if replaced].

  • How to split Windows Vista DVD image?

    I would like to ask how to split windows vista DVD image into specific size using Windows PE Tools Command Prompt.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi,
    You can try the following method:
    1.   Install UltraISO and Windows AIK.
    Windows AIK:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94bb6e34-d890-4932-81a5-5b50c657de08&DisplayLang=en
    2.   Use UltraISO to open the Windows Vista DVD and extract install.wim under the Sources folder to the local hard drive, for example: D:\Vista\sources\install.wim.
    3.   Run Windows PE Tools Command Prompt in elevated mode and type the following command:
    imagex /split D:\vista\sources\install.wim D:\temp\install.swm 380
    Note: D:\vista\sources\install.wim is the name and location of the file which will be split from. D:\temp\install.swm is the name and location of the target file. 380 is each target file size.
    Note: Before doing this, make sure partition D has at least 5GB of free disk space.
    After that, you will get 6 target files named install.swm, install2.swm, install3.swm, install4.swm, install5.swm and install6.swm in D:\temp.
    4.   Use UltraISO to open the Windows Vista DVD. Delete install.wim under the Sources folder and drag install.swm to this folder. Save the whole disk to the local hard drive and we will get CD1.
    5.   Open UltraISO and create a new folder named Sources. Drag install2.swm, install3.swm, install4.swm, install5.swm and install6.swm to the Sources folder. Save install2.swm to the local hard drive and we will get CD2. Use the same method to create CD3, CD4, CD5 and CD6.
    6.   Burn the iso files to CDs.
    The steps above can be a little complex. I recommend obtaining a DVD drive to install Windows Vista.
    Hope it helps.

  • Macbook Pro won't recognize windows vista dvd

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought Leopard and a new copy of Windows Vista Home Premium to install on my Macbook Pro. Leopard installed fine. Had some issues partitioning (had to get the right size b/c of unmovable files). Anyway, i made a 27gb partition to install my Vista. However, when I put my install dvd into the drive, it spins, makes a funny noise, then asks for the install dvd. After it spins the dvd some more, it spits it out. It doesn't seem to recognize the install dvd. I've put the Vista dvd into my PC and it runs fine. I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Thank you.

    I have exactly the same issue as you with mac not recognising the Vista Home Premium DVD either in Bootcamp or in the Finder. The applecare people were completely clueless and the guys at the "Genius" bar in the apple store were less than impressive and were insisting that it was a faulty DVD. Since i had tested it on various PCs and it worked fine, i knew it wasn't that. After 30 minutes of arguing they finally agreed to replace my DVD drive which unfortunately didn't help either. I have now ordered alternative media from Microsoft in the form of CDs for the cost of postage and will try that when they arrive and let you know. This is a problem that i'm seeing in various forums all over the place and is clearly some bizzare issue with Mac software or hardware which Apple refuses to acknowledge exists. P.S, don't bother re-creating the DVD as i tried copying the image to a USB drive on a PC and then burning it onto a blank DVD via the Mac. Although this allows the finder to mount the new DVD, Bootcamp still won't recognise the disc as a valid installer disc. More soon...

  • Portege R400-106 - where to get 64-bit Windows Vista DVD?

    Hello:
    have ordered this notebook with 4GB, but the OS is Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, meaning that I cannot use more than 3GB.
    Could you please advise where to get the 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate DVD so that I can upgrade?
    Please, could you email me at [email protected]?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I think this question can be answered only by a Toshiba person. This is a simply a user to user forum and you will not meet here anybody from Toshiba.
    But I will provide my own opinion.
    Regarding point
    1) Toshiba hasnt supported the 64bit in the past and I believe it will take several times till such 64bit OS will be supported. Who knows.
    2) Dont think you will receive the 64bit Toshiba DVD. If Toshiba will decided to support the 64bit drivers then you have to purchase the Vista 64bit OS and then you could be able to use the Toshiba drivers from the website.
    3) As I said, if you wan to use the 64bit OS you have to purchase it.
    Regards

  • Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

    Topic says it all...
    My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
    So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
    Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
    BOOTMGR is missing
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
    I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
    I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
    Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

    Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
    The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
    * hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
    To summarize.
    1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
    2 Download the instructions and read them.
    3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
    4 Pick your friends more carefully.

  • Does Satellite A300-15C comes with Vista DVD

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-15C to some queries:
    Is this kind comes with Windows Vista DVD?

    Hi
    The newest Toshiba notebooks seem to be delivered with the Toshiba HDD image.
    This means that the Vista and all other drivers, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the HDD and the image is placed on another partition.
    You can burn this image on the DVD to get a Recovery DVD.
    As Im not mistaken there should be preinstalled Toshiba software called Recovery Disk Creator. This tool can be used to create a Recovery DVD.
    So once again; the notebooks are not delivered with the Vista DVD.

  • Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
    To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
    Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
    And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
    It is in paused mode
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
    To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
    Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
    1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
    2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
    3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
    4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
    6. Press "Install Now".
    7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
    8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
    9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
    10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
    11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
    12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
    13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
    14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
    Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
    See the Device manager info:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
    Drivers:
    1. SD memory controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
    2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
    3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
    4. Texas FlashMedia controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
    And finally the Toshiba utilities:
    Toshiba Configfree
    Toshiba Assist
    RAID utilities
    Remote control manager
    Toshiba SD Memory utilities
    That's it...
    So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
    Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

    During the installation, Windows will complain that you are installing an early device driver. Do not attempt to this, Install it anyway.
    This is because the Windows driver for this device is originally installed with a more recent date and version from that you are trying to install.
    But the driver posting here is the correct from the Alps for your Qosmio g20.

    Run the setup.exe again and install the new driver. At some install point, Windows Vista will need a confirmation, if you trust Analog devices incorporated to goes on..
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiosoundmaxinstall.jpg
    Continue with the installation and after finishing the process, test the functionallity of the new driver

  • Windows Vista 64 bit crcdisk.sys

    Hi all -
        Microsoft automatically downloaded some Vista upgrades to my T61, and now it won't boot.  Instead it goes into an infinite loop mode:  BSOD-->bootup options page-->BSOD-->bootup options page-etc.-etc.-etc..  Googling suggests that this is not an uncommon problem, with all sorts of laptop brands, and that the problem isn't with the HDD.  However, I didn't find anything specific to Lenovo laptops, so I thought I'd ask here.
        Attempts to boot in Safe mode stop as it's trying to load crcdisk.sys.  I've not installed any new hardware/software/drivers/etc., so I really think the downloaded 'upgrades' somehow mucked things up. 
        Booting with the WIndows Vista DVD & trying to repair any errors didn't work, but I was able to get to the System Restore page.  Is this my only option?  I've installed some software since my last complete system backup, and I'd prefer not to have to do the download/reinstall thing., but if this is the only way to get at the data I've created since my last backup (two weeks ago), well, that's what I'll do.  If it works... : )
        Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Eric

    This is something i found in another forum so all the credit to the original author if it will solve your poblem.
    I just had this issue happen this morning and was able to at least get to safe mode. Here's what happened:
    1.) This morning my Acer Aspire 5610Z was sitting there showing the green bar animation continuously. I hadn't manually updated anything, but have it set to auto-update at 3:00am.
    2.) Safe mode didn't work, it kept getting stuck on crcdisk.sys.
    3.) To fix it, I rebooting in Safe Mode. When it got stuck on crcdisk.sys, instead of powering down by holding power button for 4 secs, I pressed it once for a restart instead. The hard drive came back to life, and after some activity, it restarted.
    4.) This time, following POST, I chose Safe Mode with Command Prompt, with the intention of renaming crcdisk.sys to see if Vista would restore it. As it turned out, it ended up continuing the boot and brought me to the update screen, saying that I was in "Stage 3 of 3" with some update, and was 10% complete!
    5.) Apparently this was a mandatory Vista security upgrade that system consumed like normal, but something went haywire during the update process. Once I was back in Windows, I restarted the update and was able to successfully complete it, and my system is back to normal.
    Could you give it a try and let us know if it works or not?

    Hi fardei,
    If you use the HDD recovery to reinstall Windows, your whole computer will not be formatted. Only the first partition will be deleted and thats all. Check the Toshiba document how the HDD recovery option works.
    Using the Toshiba recovery disk creator tool allows you to create a recovery disk. Normally on the first start up where you purchased the notebook, you did get the following message:
    +Important INFORMATION+

  • Windows Vista Home + iTunes = no DVD drives

    I am a long time iTunes user, and have been having an issue with iTunes for the last little while. When I install iTunes (I'm on Windows Vista 32 bit, by the way), after the required restart, my DVD drives' icons disappear (I have 2 of them). I can see the DVD drives in the Device Manager, and they say they cannot start. The only I think I've had these problems since about iTunes 7.0, but I don't burn CDs that often, so I've really not felt too bad about it, except that my wife would like to do so. I've done the registry change where you remove the upper and lower filters, which corrects the drive issue, but then presents the seemingly inevitable Registry issue dialog box, without the option to burn CDs. Here are the steps I've done thus far to try to get my computer and iTunes to play nicely:
    1. Tried reenabling the UpperFilter for GearAspiWDM as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305422
    2. Tried downloading new GEAR drivers from their website.
    3. Tried uninstalling Quicktime, and then installing it separately.
    4. Uninstalled my other music service software (SonicStage), and then reinstalling iTunes.
    5. Completely uninstalled iTunes, and then reinstalled it (a couple of iTunes versions ago).
    6. Tried uninstalling the non-functioning DVD drives in the device manager, and then scanning for hardware changes. When the UpperFilter was still present, this part failed. It passed after I removed the UpperFilter registry entry.
    Please help!
    Edit: Here's my most recent diagnostic info (with Drives, without UpperFilters).

  • Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

    I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
    So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
    And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
    Thank you.
    Chuck Stewart

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    This should get your itunes store connection working.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Missing CD/DVD drive after installing iTunes w/ Windows Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 laptop. The problem I am having is when I install iTunes my CD/DVD drive disappears. The drive is listed in the device mananger but it is corrupt ( yellow triangle). I can restore the drive by going back to system restore before iTunes was installed.It was sugested by Toshiba that I wait for the Windows Vista/ iPod fix. It has been sometime and there has been no word of a fix. I just bought my laptop in march and my iPod last month and I can not use it unless I load all of music one time and do a systems restore and loose it. It has become very fustrating as all the hot fixes do not apply to Vista but XP. I really need some support from someone. Microsoft charges 95 bucks a hour ( I think) and Toshiba says it is a Apple/Windows problem.
    Thanks-

    Here is the Diagnostics for my drive. I want to make a correction to my last post. I am only showing lower filters in the Redgit.

  • Burned CD yesterday, can not burn today.  Error 4280 - Windows Vista

    Yesterday, I bought a number of tracks and albums from the iTunes store. Before I purchased them, I created a test CD with some tracks I already ripped from CDs I own. I burned this CD through iTunes. All seemed well.
    I bought my music. After, I also backed up my purchases using iTunes. Still, all seemed well.
    Today, I tried to create audio CD with the tracks I purchased from the iTunes store. It did not work.
    It seems that the error (4280) comes up a lot, but in relation to Sony drives. My drive is not made by Sony.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

    what has been working for folks with the 2380s on 64-bit systems (it can hit XP too) has been reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing.
    GEAR drivers are available from the following page. (note that there are two different 64-bit versions. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware.)
