All DVDs were provided by Manufacturer as well as official Microsoft Install/Upgrade disks. Could not get to a recovery consol. Used Windows XP Install Disk. When it got to the part to select the drive to install, I deleted the corrupt windows recovery drive. There were other partitions of 800 MB and a 2Gig unknown partition. I then deleted the two unknown partitions and created one partition. I rebooted without the XP install cd. It booted to the login screen. When entering the OS, I was greeted by a statement indicating the Serial Key was invalid even though the installation was made at the factory and the serial key attached to the bottom of the laptop! Since I had files and programs, ALL PAID FOR at a premium price, I could not afford to loose my work. I tried to get support from Microsoft but was told I needed to purchase a Valid Genuine Windows OS. I decided that Microsoft had defrauded me by providing a defective OS to the manufacturer, HP, and did not desire to honor the VALID and GENUINE Windows OS they provided. Therefore, I decided to go at it alone! 1) have a copy of SP1 for Vista available 2) Turn off wifi 3) select the "limited functionality" on the Screen telling you to enter a new serial key 4) The Activation screen will appear as well as IExplorer 5) Leave Activation screen on desktop, if you close it...you close to login 6) The IExplorer will stall because there is no wifi available 7) type the following in the address bar: \ 8) A window will drop... select \windows 9) You willsee a new window "A website wants to open... select allow 10) A new window will open, go to search bar and type EXPLORER 11) Select Explorer (application) You will now have a fully functional desktop... DO NOT allow Windows Security Center to operate DO NOT CLOSE THE ACTIVATION SCREEN!!! Place your CD with Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) into the CD/DVD drive Install SP1 Your system will recover upon final reboot with all programs fully functional. Immediately disable Microsoft update, if you need updates, you can get them online as a stand alone application. Because I was disrespected by Microsoft, I decided to experiment with my other PAID IN FULL GENUINE VISTA OS/s. I installed OEM versions for Dell on Toshiba and vise versa. Both systems failed due to BIOS identification. Both were determined to be NON GENUINE and/or the serial key was identified as not valifd for the cd installation. I completed the same procedure as I listed above, and gained the same results. The system/s functioned without a problem even thouh the DELL and TOSHIBA OS/s switched places. I understand that the same procedure WILL WORK even with a pirated copy of Vista, HOME,Premium, and Ultimate. I offer this format as PUBLIC DOMAIN PASS IT ON TO ALL WHO HAVE GOTTEN THE MICROSHAFT Problem: Windows could not boot, could not rescue because the rescue drive was corrupt; could not do a new install with Windows Vista Recovery; Could not do a NEW install with Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, or Ultimate.
