How can I get another vista disc to reboot my laptop

Hi all
I had a system crash about a year ago due to a virus and one of my friends wiped my laptop and installed xp saying it was better than vista.
However, I have had nothing but bother with it for about 6 months now it just doesn't work the same and obviously I can't update the system either.
I have hunted for the vista discs that came with the laptop but I can't find them anywhere and it will cost me a small fortune for a shop to reinstall vista for me even though I have my product key.
Is there anyway I can get this disc from toshiba or Microsoft to reinstall?
Thanks
Ang

Hi afraser1,
Normally you have to create the Toshiba recovery disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but now its too late for this.
So you can order a recovery disk from Toshiba directly as already written or you use a Microsoft disk to install Windows. After this you can download and install all drivers and tools from official Toshiba website.

  • How can I get another Installation Disc (DVD) for my CS5 Application

    I lost one of my DVD installation discs from my CS5 set.  I called Adobe and they said it was an older version and they don't have a link for me.  Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the CS5 Application disc???

    Welcome to the forum.
    Adobe used to offer replacement discs for a minor charge.
    However, that was usually for ONLY the current version - nothing available before. Once a version passed into history, the replacement discs were history too.
    With the advent of Ps CC, I am not even sure if the Ps CS 6 replacement dics would be available now.
    I would contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and inquire.
    Good luck,

  • I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
    P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
    To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

    I am not sure why you can boot into diagnostic OK but not install from the cd. I think it is a dvd not cd. You sure you have the correct cd/dvd?
    You can boot in startup manager on your machine by holding down the option key when you poweron. This will give you a little more info. Click on what you want to boot the click on the right arrow.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Most simple solution: restore from your backup. If you don't have a back up, now is a good time to start.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Re: Satellite L300-18D - How can I get a Vista Restore disk?

    Hi everyone
    My laptop (Satellite L300-18D) was seriously infected by viruses, everything corrupted. I need to resinstall Vista but don't have the restore disk. After searching around I managd to download a restore disk from some site, but when I used this disk, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that will work with my OEM product key.
    How can I get this restore disk that will work with my OEM licence?
    Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying it could not detect the hard disk, there is nothing wrong with the hard disk, I have tested it on another laptop. Is there any sort of barrier o installing XP on this laptop which came with Vista originally. Is there a security meassure somewhere that stoped me from installing XP?
    Thanks in advance

  • If Mountain Lion comes pre-installed on my machine, how can I get the OS discs if it's only available via download?

    Had someone ask a very good question, I think.
    If you buy a new Mac that has Mountain Lion pre-installed on the machine, you are able to download updates as they come out; however, you can't necessarily download the Mountain Lion installer via the App Store since it came already installed on your computer.
    So my question is, how can you get a OS disk/drive of Mountain Lion if your computer fails? I know Apple has the Recovery drive, and even the Internet Recovery drive, along with Time Machine and whatever else, but what if none of these options are available to recover the computer?
    I suggested to the person to clone their hard drive using the 30-day trial of Carbon Copy Cloner. That way, they have a bootable image with the OS already available in case they run into this option. BUT, what if that isn't even an option? How does one go about recovering their computer if no OS disc of Mountain Lion is available?
    I haven't been able to find anything about workarounds besides the methods I mentioned above, so please tell me if I am missing something.

    you can't necessarily download the Mountain Lion installer via the App Store since it came already installed on your computer.
    Not true. You can go to the Mac App Store and download the installer
    (from the link that WALTER-MILANO-ITALY posted above)
    Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
    If you completed your installation of OS X, your installer may have been removed after your successful first login to OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion.  Mac App Store's Purchases page should show Install OS X as being "Installed", and disallow its download, when viewed from a computer running OS X.
    To redownload the installer on a computer running OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, press and hold the Option key while you click the Purchases tab. If the button to the right of the Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion item doesn't change to "Install" and allow you to download OS X, use Spotlight to search for "Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion" on your computer.

  • I have Elements 7 and my CD is cracked.  How can I get another copy?

    How can I obtain another copy of my Photoshop Elements CD?

    If you have a unibody Macbook Pro with a glossy screen, and only the pane of glass in front of the LCD is cracked, that can be replaced without replacing the LCD or anything else, and you can buy the part and do it yourself if you're very handy and confident:
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Unibody-Macbook-Pro-Glass-Screen-Cover-Replacement ---Front-Bezel---15-Inch-p-17321.html
    If your LCD panel itself is cracked, having it replaced will cost anywhere from $250-$800 depending on the MBP model, who does the work, and whether you get a used or new replacement screen.
