@AlulA I've sent the email to what I think the email notification details meant, hope you got it. Please acknowledge if you did. If you didn't then please spell out the email as I always suggest xyz AT abc DOT com....like that please. Also please leave it posted until I've sent the email to you, OK? That way I have 2 points of reference.
OK, thanks and good luck.

Hi~ I inserted the ISO disk ~ and ~ the screen went to " no operating system cannot be found "

What do you think ~ can anything be done ?

Thanks

Are you sure you a) extracted the zip first then b) made the disc bootable and c) that you've set the BIOS to boot from that particular drive first?

 

[vista home]

Can that be done from Setup ?

Inter Boot ~ choose External Device ~ and ~ press enter ~ then Enable and pressed enter ?

is that all ?

Thanks

Richard

BIOS is a separate mode so I have no idea. You have to go into the BIOS, usually by clicking a certain key during boot-up....my machine it's the Del key but every make is different and if your machine is UEFI even that calls for different procedures which I am not familiar with I'm afraid.

enabled internal hard disk ~ Windows is loading files... ~ running bar is up``` now the curser arrow is up ~ controlled by touch pad ~ and I can hear the dvd running ~ and movement ~ that's it ~ just the arrow on the screen ~ controlled by the touch pad ~ disk is running ```

Things are hopefully looking up.....good luck ;-)

Thanks ~ nothing happening for a while ~ no windows ~ maybe I should shut down and see if it ~ boots ```

 

[Ex_Brit]

It takes quite a while for the installer to unpack all its files but that does sound ominous though.

Oprating System Not Found-

That usually indicates an incorrect BIOS setting. The first booting device would be the drive you used for the installation disc, the second boot must be the OS HDD.

I have the choice of: Internal Optical Disc Drive
Internal Hard Disk Drive
External Device

Which would I select to install with DVD disk ```

also the choice External Device Boot
Network Boot

if i start over again ~ what should I select in Setup Utility ```


Thank you

Richard

OK, I'm not absolutely sure about my advice at this stage as I am no expert but the first few lines would appear to be the list of drives.
They appear to be in the right order.
There has to be a setting elsewhere called Boot Priority or words to that effect
Internal Optical drive would be what you use for installation, assuming it handles DVD's.
(Otherwise make a bootable USB drive as mentioned in my email).
The internal hard drive must be the one that carries the now fouled-up operating system.
It must have a drive letter to be of use here.

For more expert help you should be asking here as a new separate thread: General Discussion

 

[vista home]

Ok, thank you ~ I'll see if ~ I've the strength to do that ```

Thanks again

Richard

[What language 32 bit Vista Home Premium iso do you need?]

 

[Ex_Brit]

Russian I think but I already sent an English ISO to him. Not sure it will work with a Russian OEM key however.
It appears that a whole bunch of posts of ours were removed by someone.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Yes sorry about that, I don't have the Russian version stored.
