Well, Got this problem i find out my laptop isnt compatible with windows 7, Are these files for factory reset? if yes do i have vista then again? And how do i open these files... Or what if i find a windows vista.iso cant i then just install it trough USB and downgrade and using the serial that came with my laptop (that serial label) am i fine to use my laptop or do i need to do things ? how do i see its a untouched .iso? or do i need to use daz' loader and enter my serial in it? Please help..
poor you it's recommended to do clean install of your vista if you have nothing important left in the system. to see if it's untouched MSDN/TechNet release iso, use HashCheck Shell Extension by Kai Liu (a chinese). after installation right click properties and click the Checksums tab to start hash calculations. Then compare your iso hash with the ones in MSDN/TechNet.
Those are Ghost images of your vista system go to manufacturers web site and download manual for your computer and read up on how to access system recovery probably via certain function keys when booting up. you should have read up on how to recover before you even attempted to install windows 7.
i have readed.. but didnt found anything about it.. the reason why i didnt make a backup is because it needed to be on DVD's and my dvd player on my laptop doesnt work.. i cant open any kinds of disk nor see what it has.. but all by all? what shall i do now?
Search google using your model number for factory recovery i don't believe the user manual doesn't tell you how to access this.
@ FreeStyler, i was going to say just make ghost disk, but user says his cd/dvd drive don't work. I know ghost could boot from floppy disk years ago not sure about later versions maybe option to boot from USB thumbdrive I don't know been years since i used Ghost.
So i need to find out how to acces factory recovery ? What will the diffrence be of i downgrade via a .iso? Or does the ghost file do something more?
Ghost will put computer back to the way it was when you first got it and it will be activated. If you download vista iso you need to use Vista OEM SLP key + certificate to activate computer won't activate with OEM COA key after that you need to find drivers e.c.t
USB should be possible with Ghost, irt runs on DOS so just make DOS USB disk include ghost and open gho image (and then just hope it ain't password protected)
So what i need to do is get the ghost program, make a DOS USB disk and open the file hope there is no pass setted and Windows will do everything and i just look?
Not without calling M$ you can't, at one time you could activate without calling them but M$ stopped that way back in XP because people were stealing keys from display models in shops.
F3 didnt work i had a blackscreen with something on it couldnt read it because it went away too fast i clicked again on f3 maybe thats why
