Create Vista Install CD's without Lenovo Recovery

I want to use 3rd party recovery software ( Rollback) instead of the Lenovo Recovery.
I'd like to:
- create original Vista CD's from the laptop.
- wipe the hard drive including any recovery/backup partitions
- Reinstall Vista with my 3rd recovery software
I've read that by making the recovery CD's, they'll recreate the recovery partitions.
I don't want that.
Any advice, on how to make original ( NON Lenovo recovery partition) Vista CD's ?
Thanks,
Bill

  • Fresh Windows Vista Install (X:/ drive)

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9500Y and I wish to use a windows vista install DVD rather then the recovery DVD's/partition.
    When ever I boot to disk and go through the reinstall process, when I get to select drive it only has X:/ drive available.
    Is this some type of boot drive? Is it because of something RAID related? I would like to know how to get around this.

    Hello ddwcmp555, I'm not quite sure why you do not see any available disk\partitions to install Vista on.
    Here  is the link for the specifications for your system, and it shows the system shipped with a 750 GB hard drive and no Raid Array. It also shows the system shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center (64-bit) with Vista Service Pack 1.
    The X: partition is created during the start of the Vista installation, as a temp. partition to store the Vista setup files. When the setup completes successfullly, this X: partition is removed.
    Can you advise where you acquired the Vista DVD, and if your Vista DVD might be an upgrade version rather than a full version. An upgrade version would look for the original operating system, before proceeding with the installation process.

  • How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

    Please I'm in desperate need of help,
    My brother purchased new Toshiba A300-23E in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
    It was on the display threre.
    He sent it to my father in Pakistan but soon noticed that it was full of virues and he fresh installed Windows xp SP2 after formating hard drive.
    He gave that to me for fixing the problem. As it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista but i havent got the recovery disk or any operating disk.
    How am i suppose to install windows vista?
    Somebody told me that i download vista trail version and enter the key which is on the back of my laptop.
    Anybody having any idea. plz

    > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but soon noticed that it was full of virues and he fresh installed Windows xp SP2 after formating hard drive.
    This was a big mistake buddy
    The recovery disk was not shipped with the notebook because there was an preinstalled tool called Toshiba recovery disk creator which allows you to create an own recovery disk.
    But this is not possible since the HDD has been formatted and all files have been deleted.
    Now you would not be able to recover the unit even using the HDD recovery since the files are not available on HDD.
    You need a recovery disk and you can order it from here:

  • Which Vista basic OEM installation without a disk and no recovery available.

    Someone got the bright idea to install Windows 7 without a license, after 30 days of course the problems began. Now I have the PC in front of me to repair, but the "friend" repatitioned the disk, so there is no recovery available. Can someone please help me and tell me which .iso to download and where? Version is french. It's driving me crazy for a week now, hope someone has an answer.
    Thanx in advance,
    Bert

    Hi, Bert:
    You can build your own ISO file if you are up to it.
    Here is the link to the 3 files you need.  Select the French 32 or 64 bit set.
    http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links
    First read these instructions & watch the videos for how to build the ISO file.

  • SW failures after replacing T510 HDD and re-installing software from Lenovo Recovery Disks

    Please help...
    I have replaced the 320GB SATA drive in my T510 after the original one started to fail. But the resinstalled software (taken from the recovery partition on the old drive) hs problems.
    I used the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the old drive to create a bootable Flash Drive in order to re-install to the new drive. It initially appeared that the recovery drive successfully reinstated Windows 7 and associated programs on the brand new (also Seagate 320GB SATA drive).
    All was good, I thought - Until I tried Windows Update
    Other things are not working well either - e.g. YouTube clips are not playing, IE is working very slowly to name but two.
    Windows update fails with the message "Windows Update Cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
    I have discovered on MS web site that there are fixes for this but the fixes I have tried do not work.
    The fixes all seem to look for and check that BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Windows Update Srervices are running. I have checked and both services ARE runing but still I get the failure message.
    When running the Microsoft Fix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071
    further errors are discovered stating that "troubleshooting was unable to fix all of the issues found.
    "Problems installing recent updates - not fixed"
    I have serached high and low and the only stuff I can find to fix windows update does not work.
    If the replacement HDD was brand new.
    Could it be that a BIOS update that took place at some point during the last year or two plus the recovery partition are somehow incompatible.
    Could it be that the recovery partition has created an unusable version?
    Advice on where to go next will be well received..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    One of the things that can cause this is migrating to an advanced format hard drive (one with 4kb sectors).  For some reason this confuses Windows Update - and some other things.

  • How do I install mountain lion without recovery partition.

    I have a Mac Mini with two 500 GB disks that I mirrored (RAID10) and lost the recovery partition in the process.
    The Mountain Lion installer indicates it will install anyway but without some minor features.
    But, when it reboots as part of the install process, it does not actually install.
    Is there something special I need to do?

    Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
    Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick.  Select the latter, and reboot.
    When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
    When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

  • Satellite L755-16L - Installing new Win7 without recovery option

    Hi...
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-16L.
    I want to re-install windows 7 ,but the recovery option will erase everything....I dont want to use that ,I saw an activation key at bottom of the laptop for win 7 saying it is oa mea ??
    So is there any way I could do that without erasing everything.

    Hi
    Please check http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    There you can find all info about HDD recovery installation and exact info what will be deleted exactly (check Note).
    Product key at the bottom means that you have bought notebook with preinstalled OS and valid licence. This key belongs to preinstalled OS version. Dont think you can use it for OS activation if you try to install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc.
    > So is there any way I could do that without erasing everything.
    I dont know what do you mean under everything.
    If you want to have clean preinstalled OS again best option for you is to back-up all important data to external device and after OS installation you can copy all this stuff back to notebooks HDD.

  • Creating Vista Recovery disk on Portege M400

    I have upgraded an M400 which came with XP to Vista Business. Launching the Toshiba Recovery Disk utility delivers a message "not HDD partition found". The management console shows a recovery partition - though it probably still has the XP recovery info.
    Anybody got ideas on how to transfer in a Vista recovery image into this partition? Is this available from Toshiba somewhere in the world? I can get my tech support people to chase it if we know it exists....
    Cheers
    From Australia

    Hi,
    maybe you should properly format the drive and remove ALL partitions with an external program (like UBCD -> "Ultimate Boot CD") and then try it again.
    It can be that the XP recovery partition is blocking the new recovery/installation process.
    If I were you I would try this format-thingy.
    Otherwise grab another HDD and try it with this. ;)
    Cheers

  • Vista install without keyboard?

    I currently run Vista in VMware fusion and I have no problems at all.
    Although performance isn't an issue I'd like to install Vista via boot camp.
    The problem is I don't have a USB keyboard (I do have a USB mouse), I only have the old and new apple wireless keyboards.
    Also a while back I installed some extra RAM and now my mini doesn't close 100% flush. It runs fine and is closed most of the way so theres no airflow problems but its a bit annoying to know that theres a tiny gap in the back of my mini.

    I think you may need to borrow a USB keyboard to get Vista installed if you don't want to go out and buy one - they can be had for very little money these days, and almost any USB keyboard will do, including generic PC models.
    In terms of the casing not fitting, this would indicate you have not reassembled the system correctly, or in the process of upgrading the system, have dislodged something (the Airport or BT antenna perhaps). While it's possible the system will run perfectly well in that condition, it is also possible that it could be suffering a problem with internal airflow and thus be tending to overheat, or that the optical drive slot will not be correctly aligned and you may therefore have problems with inserting/ejecting certain disks. In short, this is something you really need to resolve! In this situation I would open up the system again, and (if necessary using the reference videos in such places as www.macsales.com) check that everything is seated and assembled correctly.

  • Install windows 7 without bootcamp

    Hi everyone I discovered a way to install windows 7 without boot camp, i'm not sure if its also applicable with original windows 7 cd, but here goes, I wanted to install windows 7 completely in my optical bay hdd, i couldn't because you cannot boot up with external super drive...
    Step 1: take out primary os x lion hdd out and put your secondary hdd in there
    Step 2 put the super drive in its place
    Step 3 install os x lion in an external drive (don't use your primary drive) you only need recovery HD
    Step 4 run recovery HD from external drive
    Step 5 press the apple logo and restart system
    Step 6 boot up pressing the option key
    Step 7 there should be a windows cd and a EFI cd
    Step 8 click the windows cd
    Step 9 install windows 7
    Step 10 install the apple drivers
    Step 11 put the clean windows 7 drive in the optical bay
    Step 12 put the primary drive in the primary sata slot
                   Turn on and enjoy
    I'm going to try this with vista and xp whenever i have time and create the ISO file...

    Oh, I see, Windows users now realize that the MacBook Pro is a superior piece of technology, but they need their Windows on it.  I can accept that.
    Actually I just bought a new Dell Latitude E6420. Installed 8GB of RAM, a 120GB Intel SSD, moved the 750GB Seagate drive I originally installed to a optical by caddy. Nothing junky about that PC.
    But if you read this forum you will see a ton of posts about junky Apple hardware.
    There is nothing superior about the Mac. It is a computer. It reads and writes 1s & 0s. It is now based on the i386 (x86) plateform/architecture.
    Just to let you know both PCs and Macs use the Exact Same Hardware. The 8GBs of RAM and the 750GB HDD I installed in the Dell were originally in a 13" MBP I had and returned.
    About the only real difference between the 2 is the HDD format and file structure. Windows uses a registry, which is really a grouping of 3 different files. Mac's use .plist files which can number in the 10s to god knows what number. Apps on a Mac are not just one file or one group of files all in the same directory, kind of like Windows where files of different types get put in different folder all over the hard drive and OS structure.
    Ok I'm done with that subject.
    I have not had any viruses or trojans or whatever on any of my PCs for over a decade and I haven't used any anti virus software for over 3 years.
    I like the Mac for somethings and I like PCs, I'm not a Mac or a PC snob. But I do have Windows installed on my Mac computers and if I could, easily, I would have OS X installed on my Windows based hardware. But Steve Jobs has seen fit to make that almost impossible. If he hadn't no one would buy his hardware.

  • How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

    1a)  Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
    "Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
    1b)  Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
    1c)  Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
    1d)  Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
    2)  Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
    Good luck.
    Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
    Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg  from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

    ervis,
    Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
    The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
    Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
    If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
    The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
    with the key erased or Xed out.
    Please send KUDOs

  • SDHC card does nor work on Satellite A200-1J0 with a clean Vista install

    Greetings,
    When I bought this notebook there was preinstalled Vista 32bit and as usual some Toshiba's drivers and software. As I remeber there was no problems with built in memory card reader, it was reading regular SD cards and also SDHC.
    One day I had to reinstall operating system (without using recovery disc) and i've downloaded drivers for my notebook from official site, installed them and the card reader now it's not able to read SDHC cards. Is it just me?
    This is what I installed for reader:
    -Toshiba Value Added Package where is TOSHIBA Flash Cards inside of it
    -Flashmedia Driver
    -SD Utilities
    I just want to highlight that there's no problem with reading mmc or normal sd cards.
    My sdhc card is 100% working properly with other card readers.
    Another sdhc card that I have is not working, it's just like I put nothing inside the reader.
    Just nothing happens.
    Is there anything else that I missed and this is the reason of my problem?
    Any fix for Vista or something like that?

    Dear Jeffrey,
    My problem is solved, thank you so much! :)
    This words were very helpful:
    "Mostly an installation instruction is placed on the Toshiba European driver page which contains the essential installation order."
    So I went on that site and found file where was written:
    Contents and Installation order
    for Windows Vista
    INSTALL ORDER
    WINDOWS VISTA
    No. Component Name Version
    1 Windows Vista RTM
    2 Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility native
    3 Intel 945GM Display Driver
    or
    3 nVIDIA G72MV-A3/NB7P-GS Display Driver
    4 Realtek ALC861D Audio Driver
    5 Realtek 10/100 8101E/ Gigabit 8111B LAN Driver
    6 Synaptics Touch Pad Driver (with LuxPad)
    7 ALPS Touch Pad Driver
    8 TI Multiple Digital Media Card Reader
    9 TOSHIBA Software Modem
    10 Intel Golan Wireless LAN Driver
    11 Intel Kedron Wireless LAN Driver
    12 Atheros Wireless LAN Driver
    13 Chicony Camera Software
    14 Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
    15 Bluetooth Monitor
    16 TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    17 TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
    18 TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility
    19 TOSHIBA Supervisor Password

    23 TOSHIBA Speech System
    24 TOSHIBA Extended Tiles for Windows Mobility Center V1.01
    25 TOSHIBA Fingerprint Utility V5.6.0.3221
    Thanks to that file I've found that I haven't installed "TI Multiple Digital Media Card Reader". In toshiba european download site there's nothing like that so nothing weird that I didn't find that before. Here google became a good companion and helped me to find that file. I just simply installed it without deinstaling previously installed drivers (just like is NOT written in install order above) and it's working :)
    Thank you once again!
    Best regards,

  • Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
    I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
    FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
    Please let me know if you want any other information.
    Thanks for any ideas/support.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
    Using PlugInConfig.txt
    1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
    2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
    the following text into it:
    =Path
    NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
    locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
    Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
    3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
    the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
    =Path
    "C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
    NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
    NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
    is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
    NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
    plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the  target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
    4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
    5. Restart InDesign.
    6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.

  • Windows Vista install disk for my Mac?

    I have just installed Windows vista onto my Mac but when using boot camp it only gives me the option of creating a Windows 7 install disk.  Does anybody know where I can get a Windows Vista install disk?  Thanks

    No doubt if you Google for it you will find vendors. Check with amazon.com, too.

  • I want to install windows 8 without bootcamp ...

    So here is what I did step by step:
    1. make partition via disk utility and format using MS-DOS / FAT
    2. Insert windows cd and restart
    3. Hold C when it's booting up
    4. It goes right away to windows installation, and when I see my partition, I choose the partition i made from disk utility
    5. On the "where do you want to install Windows" menu (with many partitions on the screen where you supposed to choose which one to install windows), I can't install windows yet, so I click Drive Options, then Format, but after I format the partition, I still can't click Next
    Some said that I need to make the partition via disk utlity using NTFS, but I still can't install
    It stucks on the "where do you want to install Windows" menu
    Is it because the windows 8?
    Or is it because Mountain Lion won't let you do this anymore?
    All I want is to make 3 partitions since bootcamp limit only 2 partitions max.
    I did successfully install windows 8 without any issue using bootcamp, but then again it was only 2 partitions.
    I use VMware, and it takes your memory like crazy
    *sigh*

    I use VMware now, but it surely eats A LOT of memory
    I can see that free memory is around 2GB, and after I hit VMware to run windows, memory left is around 30MB
    Maybe I should buy another memory just for the sake of VMware?
    I guess not, it's not worth it.
    I really wish I can create triple partition like people taught out there on google.
    But I can't make it happen
