Cheers! I already have the OEM Disc for 64Bit, otherwise it would have come in handy! I was gonna get in touch with Asus, see if they could supply one, but i had a feeling it would be packed with bloatware!

Thanks Again!

I doubt the OEM disk has SP2 though,maybe it does? Anyway, glad to help.

May I get a copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit? I need to repair my windows install and all I can seem to find is the 32-bit version.
When I go to repair it, it tells me I have the wrong version!

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Probably not, but i can slipstream that if i needed to, if the patches are still available, though i don't want to use Vista again..

I did reinstall Vista but, Windows update wouldn't work, just cycled the bar over and over again for 10+ hours as i was hoping to download & install the laptop drivers through windows update.
One could assume it was due to Vista mainstream support ending, but i've manage to install all the service packs on XP via Windows update recently, and i recall having a problem like that before with Vista, possibly todo with a bad install? Anyway i gave up with it and bought Windows 7 Home Premium for it instead.

Thanks again though, much appreciated!

Vista with SP2 is still supported until next year, so I would imagine that was simply problems with the update servers perhaps. Anyway, extended support for 7 goes until 2020. You were lucky you got anything on XP !!

Hi Peter,

I quite like Vista Home Premium...

You seem to be a wizard on this forum.

Many thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit HP OEM iso ?

I'm trying to install Vista on a new hard drive on a HP Pavilion : first used a Vista disk, booted ok but couldn't install SP1 standalone (installation completes, then uninstalls and I get a ntoskrnl.exe missing error, preventing Windows booting, even when restoring missing files from the installation DVD and successfully booting into Windows, trying to reinstall SP1 leads to the same thing every time), Windows Update doesn't work. Then tried an iso with preinstalled SP2 : at the end of installation, it states that it could not complete on this computer's hardware. I downloaded the original drivers on HP website (including Intel Chipset & Rapid Matrix Storage), tried to load them at the 1st install step where you choose where to install Windows and incidentally can also load drivers : Windows does not recognize any drivers on my USB...

Final step for me is to try HP recovery/install disk (that did not come with the computer, and were not created, of course...).

If you can help me, you will have my utmost gratitude, because I'm this close to throwing everything away..!! :sa:
Thanks !!

Format the drive and install fresh using the ISO I just sent you burned to disk or USB.
Please edit that email out, thanks and good luck.

Wow you're really quick..! Thanks, I got your email, can you confirm that it is an HP OEM version though ?

 

[Ex_Brit]

That is a genuine, full Microsoft version from my old TechNet account. Just use your key and it should install as the original version you had.
Of course minus any bloatware that HP always adds top their editions.

I completely agree regarding the bloatware, just thought maybe HP installed some much needed drivers during the install...

So I tried your version, and it went the same way as the last SP2 one ("could not complete on this computer's hardware"), although I finally found the correct Intel chipset driver, and switched the BIOS from RAID to AHCI (I only have the one disk hooked up, so I don't know if it was already in RAID mode before the old disk failure, but I guess it's not useful unless I have at least 2 disks, rights ?).

I'll try to install Win7 and if that fails, I give up !

Thank you very much for your help anyway !

If you have a drivers disk the installer usually gives you the option to install them early on in the process, if my memory serves me right.

Doesn't your BIOS allow ATA or IDE (as against AHCI or RAID)? If it does I would try that as maybe the installer can't find AHCI drivers.

If your having ongoing issues installing I would post a question here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html
