| 682345 | 2008-06-25 07:54:00 | The MS link only tells you how to uninstall the Service Pack if you can login and access the control panel or have a reboot DVD. It just came up recommending I do a system check, so I clicked it and I did that, but now it doesn't even get to the part where it shows the 'Configuring Update' message. Is there anywhere I can download a (free) Vista Reboot files that I can burn to disc and insert into it? | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 682346 | 2008-06-25 08:01:00 | Use system restore to get it back to Pre SP1 - you will need the recovery Disk - BUT since you don't have one - go To this page (neosmart.net) and download it, its the actual recovery section on Vista. You will need some torrent downloading software to get it. Once downloaded, burn the ISO image to a cd/dvd with your image burning software, ( instruction on that page also) then boot from the Disk, go through the process until you find the section that says repair, then select restore - follow on screen instructions. Go to This page here (www.bleepingcomputer.com) to read the instructions ( with pictures) on how to run the system repair / restore. |

| 682347 | 2008-06-25 08:03:00 | Have you got the DVD or cd's, or did anyone create the recovery cd's/DVD? Or if noone made the recovery DVD/cd's (if you dont have any cd's or DVD), I would take the hdd out put it in a working system. Find the ISO's on it (might be in the 2nd partition if theres one), then burn them |

| 682348 | 2008-06-25 08:07:00 | All it allows me to do is press F2 (setup) and F12 (Multiboot selection). I'm gonna download a recovery disc but I first need to know which one to get the x86 or the x64. | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 682349 | 2008-06-25 08:11:00 | You'll have to check the brand/model of the laptop online. On whatever site. Or check the manuals etc to see if it says 32 or 64 bit. Its probably x86 - 32 bit |

| 682350 | 2008-06-25 08:23:00 | I just randomly pressed F10 and it went into the 'Edit Boot Option'. It says: Edit Windows boot options for: Microsoft Windows Vista Path: /Windows/system32/winload.exe Partition: 2 Hard Disk: c3deaae8 [ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Which I then need to enter something, what do I put in? |

| 682351 | 2008-06-25 08:25:00 | That sounds like the boot.ini file. I dont think you add anything Add someting thats not meant to be there it'll stuff things up |

| 682352 | 2008-06-25 08:33:00 | I didn't add anything, I just pressed enter=submit and it didn't do a thing. It still loads as usual and doesn't get past a black screen that slowly goes away from being restarted. (It is an Acer Aspire 5570Z.) | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 682353 | 2008-06-25 08:37:00 | I would say its 32 bit | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 682354 | 2008-06-25 08:44:00 | Can I use the x64 or the x86 recovering discs or do I need to find another? | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
