Vista ISO download

Step #11 in that link refers to driver installation.

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

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier.

Not sure about the BIOS (I don't have the PC around right now), but as I very unclearly said in my previous post, I finally found the correct driver and gave it to Vista when you select the install partition. It took it gladly but the Windows install still failed at the end.

I gave up on installing Vista : the problem was after SP1 and/or SP2 install, since I could complete a Vista RTM install (that means there were no drivers issues, right ?) but could not complete the SP1 standalone install with or without installing all the original drivers and their updates listed by HP. I thought I could bypass this by installing Vista with SP2 preinstalled, but this time I could not even complete the initial Windows install.

So I finally installed Windows 7 Pro and it went without a hitch, is up-to-date and runs smoothly. It initially wasn't an option since I didn't have a license for it, but you gotta do what you gotta do...

How strange 7 went on without a hitch and Vista not.....my ISO includes both those SP's anyway, but no matter.
It's been a long time but the biggest tip I recall to prevent SP install failures is to at least disable and preferably uninstall any antivirus that may be installed, otherwise they will always fail.
But of course that would only apply to an already installed basic system.
With 7 SP1 at least now you are good until 2020.
Good luck ;-)

Ahoy! I am looking for Windows Vista Home Premium OEM 64 disks for a Dell and a Gateway, if I have keys on the computer cases do they work with the installer?

edit: Thanks!

 

[Ex_Brit]

They should work as long as the hardware hasn't changed substantially. They will dictate which version of Vista is installed. I will, however, need an email address to email the link to. You should edit it out afterwards.

Good job I checked back....otherwise would have missed your post edit ;-)
Sent, good luck, now edit that thing out again please.

I'm helping a friend out by re-installing Windows Vista Home Basic OEM from Toshiba laptop. There is no recovery partition on the computer. Would I be able to install it from one of the ISOs being sent? If so, I would love to have a 32-bit version. Edit: Thanks!

I was advised by a colleague at one of the forums I help out at to ask Peter, {Ex_Brit), for a Vista Business 32-bit iso link.

I'd be grateful as I'm trying to fix a corrupt registry for a friend.

Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks

Nina
