Hello, I just want to say thank you very much! You explained everything very well, it was very easy to follow you. My computer is running great! I'm very happy.
I don't have those options on my Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium (that i can find). It only allows me to system restore, but no apparent options to factory reset to prepare for laptop donation. Is there another way? Thanks!
Will it boot up? To the main desktop? I suggest disconnecting every thing from the tower. All the cables so its cable free, then reconnect everything....make sure everything is plugged in all the way to make connection
You would have to Install a second Harddrive to the motherboard and set the jumper settings to slave and the first one primary, then you have to partition the second Harddrive and install the operating system to the second Drive. This is a difficult process but can be done to have dual boot systems. I had it done to one of my windows Xp machines but its been years and would have to be behind the screen trying to figure it out. Look up online for dual boot partition. I found one online hope this helps th-cam.com/video/ApNeefM3pks/w-d-xo.html
Thanks it helped me very much. Can I ask, if you had 1 computer, and you wanted vista and windows 10 on it and you had 2 2tb drives, how would you set that up? Both operating system on different partitions of the same drive, or partition each drive to hold a operating system, and storage. I want to be able to game again, haven't gamed since steam discontinued support for vista, a little over a year now.
I can’t believe this is what I need to do to get the city nighttime image back because I searched my computer and basically turned it upside down trying my very hardest to find it to no avail.
GEORGE LOPEZ HOW TO DO IT YOUR SELF nvm I did complete pc reset. I got some of the things like the image that i wanted. And sample pictures that I can make my desktop background!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey can yu tell what else i can do when i press f8 i get a bleu screen with lot of numbers say chk dk error repair but nothing ever happens should i wait on it or restart it .. i have been restating it thus far ...
Sounds like your boot file might be corrupted or the operating system might be corrupted. If you can try to run the check disk, that might fix this problem. Striking f8 before windows loads up should give you options on how to load the operating system with minimal programs loaded that you can run safe mode and try to repair any corrupted system file
From personal experience sometimes the operating system has to be installed multiple times in order for it to work properly, why I don't know why. Its just technology, its going to have its flaws.
Lol it won't blow up. When it's in the process of starting up press f8 to see if it brings up the options for troubleshooting. If it doesn't, does it show any available options when the first screen appears when you turn it on? Should give you like a f12 or f11 or f2 option
Wow uhm is the amber light on the Tower or computer blinking? if it is, its doing something...if not it might of froze...Restart might be needed and try again. This is how it is. Some times I struggle with any version of windows. Sometimes its a piece of cake everything just flows, sometimes you come across bridges and thats were troubleshooting comes into play. Sorry.
GEORGE LOPEZ HOW TO DO IT YOUR SELF Thank you I succeeded now to restart it But it’s still blocking and can’t move the cursor had to force shutting it down and restart it again and again Please help
@@assmaed4329 as its restarting press f8 and continue pressing F8 so it can take you to the Repair Screen...it will give you some options repair pc should be one of them and try to run that to see if thay works...sorry at this point it really gets technical and you might have to make a bootable usb with windows Vista Ios to be able to install it.....sorry this is a time consuming process
Best thing to do is put all your pictures, music and documents on to USB flash drive stick. Just stick it on the computer, locate the files you want to save and drop them into the Flash drive. That way you have all your files backed up and when you format just drop them back into the computer.
Thanks bro! I bought a computer and didn't have funds to pay someone for doing this. Now I know how thanks to you. Blessings!
Heck yeah I'm glad this worked out for you, thank you for your support!

Hp specific instructions. This doesn't happen with other manufacturers.
Once you've got this far, how do you install windows 10 on a separate harddrive in the same computer?
You would have to Install a second Harddrive to the motherboard and set the jumper settings to slave and the first one primary, then you have to partition the second Harddrive and install the operating system to the second Drive.

@@exercisemusic partition one hard drive and install both operating system in one. Use the other hard drive as storage.

Yay I'm glad I was able to help!
I deleted the other two drive partitions that were on this computer. For some reason the system will not boot into windows after the install.
From personal experience sometimes the operating system has to be installed multiple times in order for it to work properly, why I don't know why. Its just technology, its going to have its flaws.
I don't believe those other guys comments here. I follow you step by step 5 times and instill don't even see that first menu. Blah
Sorry brother every computer is different honestly, some just get those options some don't
My comp is toshiba. It makes a loud sound when i press f8. Why? Scared that its gonna blow up or broken. Os Vista basic.
Lol it won't blow up. When it's in the process of starting up press f8 to see if it brings up the options for troubleshooting. If it doesn't, does it show any available options when the first screen appears when you turn it on? Should give you like a f12 or f11 or f2 option
Pls help me I have a dell tower and monitor but every time I press f8 it doesn't work
mine too
Just put vista on a usb or disk and press f12 or f2 to open the boot manager and tell it to boot from the drive
I get error message saying not enough space in c drive, its almost empty.
You might have to delete some items first or maybe you won't be able to do it. No 2 computers are alike. Sorry bro
@@559powerscape okay im tried to delete many files but okay
@@Tugezu sorry bro older systems didn't usually come with Large capacity hard drives like they do now a days
@@559powerscape no problem
Lots of crowing back there! Somebody tell those boys it's 1am here!
I've done what you said and it is stuck on the Factory Image Recovery page with only 12% loaded. It's been over 18 hours. What do I do now??

Try forcing to restart. Hold down the power button for 10sec and it should restart and try again
