Windows Vista Recovery CD

Windows Vista Recovery CD If you can't boot Vista and don't have the Vista CD/DVD: 1. Burn the image 2. Boot from CD/DVD 3. After choosing language choose "Repair your computer" 4. Start the "Command Prompt" 5. And write "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" to write to the mbr (vista start after reboot) or "bootrec.exe /fixboot" to write a boot sector (you have GRUB/LILO but doesn't have Vista Loader) 6. Reboot and eject the CD 7. Now Vista should start Very handy if your can't start Vista, becuse (eg.) GRUB have overwritten your Vista Loader. original site - http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ how to use bootrec.exe - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392

Quick question from a noob....
my mates laptop crashed, think he was using windows xp and he doesn't have recovery disc, is it possible to just download this recovery disc and it'll install ok?? or do i need to get an xp recovery disc first and then i can upgrade to vista?
Thanks for any help....

If I have lost my Password for the login, will this help me out?

 ianislavus (2009-06-25)

Works perfectly! :) Thanks a lot!
I helped my buddy with dead notebook, working first time on Vista - and it did all the work! :D
Thanks again!

tarzanSA (2009-08-25)

slick7194 (2009-10-23)

Haa i needed this too after Linux(Ubuntu) Fucked with my laptop too stupid boot manager..

teacherdan (2009-12-28)

This just saved my butt. Could not get out of a endless boot/reboot in Vista. Used the disc, repaired the MBR, works like a charm. Why the hell don't the computer manufacturers include something like this? Oh, yeah, not service, but profit. Pity.

XtniasX (2010-01-03)

I'm having the same prob teacherdan is having.
@teacherdan: did you use a cracked version of vista black as well?
hoping for similar fortune. will post results.

ayjeezy465 (2010-01-25)

hello i am completely illiterate when it comes to burning image cd's everyone i've tried ends up spinning in my cd-r drive for hours any suggestions? I am using power iso

gm0n3y1818 (2010-03-01)

Hello everyone,
So im planning on going from windows 7 back to vista (too much power consumption, battery doesnt last even two hours barely an hour on power saver) and I want to know if using this torrent will work or if anyone has done this.

x-sail (2010-05-11)

Works excellently.

alecp130 (2010-05-16)

Hey so I'm trying to use this to get back to vista from Win 7 (Since it fucks with my internet connection) I tried mounting it but all i get are more files, I still can't run the disk. Can anyone help?

alecp130 (2010-05-16)

So I figured out how to boot it... but now in installation it says "unable to find install.wim."

ervn (2010-06-04)

thank you worked great

_wolfie_ (2010-06-14)

you may have just saved my life dude, awesome!

shubhankar54 (2010-07-06)

works perfect

supmaaah (2010-10-15)

hey!
I wonder which program I´m need to burn thr file with..
Or if I should burn it to dvd/cd/jpg/mp3 ?
does that matters?
thanks ! (:

Iam.trojan (2010-11-26)

I downloaded this torrent and it has saved as a zip file wat do i do next plz
apart from putting my lap top in the bath
fed up with it lol

m1rodrig1 (2010-12-17)

Lifesaver thanks worked perfect

jow9 (2010-12-22)

@supmaaah you burn the image(zip file) on imageburn or alcohol120% or any program like that that would let you burn the image to a cd or dvd burn in the slowest speed then just boot from cd on the computer and that's pretty much it follow screen instructions

z3rb0 (2011-01-13)

Thank you! I was THIS || close to factory settings!
Didn't have to use the fixmbr command though.

pyro12345 (2011-03-05)

@ Iam.trojan
use magic ISO or daemon tools to open the file, then just copy it to a cd and use the cd on the next computer

deathbein101 (2011-04-18)

is there a free software i can use to burn iso to cd

randokarja (2011-05-17)

TheBest!"

Thornton123 (2011-06-26)

Thanks for the great download and detailed instructions. Burned like a charm. Even though I'd already factory restored I still couldn't get on, and you saved me having to buy a new laptop or pay for an expensive repair. Thanks.

TheBariClariDude126 (2011-07-05)

this is PERFECT you saved my life! too bad i got windows 7 soon after vista crashed LOL

Yenrock7 (2011-08-15)

nutzy35 (2012-04-10)

I get into the recovery tool, but no driver OS shows up, can't open the C: disk to access it and can't find anything on the CD either, anyone know any tricks to find it?

Johnny_Bravo123 (2012-05-08)

Hi All. If possible please help! Burned the image to cd/boot from cd-rom/windows is loading files and then blank. I can not get past this phase. L have left it for 25min no changes, but 1 or 2 screen flashes. Please!

wtftpb (2012-09-28)

File not found







Firefox can't find the file at
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.+++++++WTF? first time I encountered this error...

Crunda (2013-09-30)

I proceed to boot the disc but nothing happens and then it says "BOOTMGR is missing". Any idea how to get around this? I'm using ImgBurn if that means anything.

phillydip (2014-02-17)

Made an accoun just to help for those who have problem setting it up i recommend wintoflash as the program all u need is a usb once installed go on task ,new then select transfer winPe vista then click create go on the format tab set file system on fat 16 lba then click run when done u should have a good bootable recovery usb :]

GuccizBud (2014-09-22)

Doesn't work for 64-bit Windows. Doesn't say that it would, either, but I didn't think of that when I got it. So if your Windows is x64 use this one instead :
