When I reinsert the disk I get the same message. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Before Installing your Operating system in your Laptop make sure to check for the following:. With Error code: 0x encounter during the installation of Windows Vista the probable cause of these are the Windows Vista CD installer might have problem that difficult to read in your DVD drive because of CD sometimes scratch due to mishandling.
Moreover, the hard disk must format in a standard way not in quick format option to determine more if hard disk has a bad sector and Genuine Windows Vista operating system has an intelligent manner in moving forward for installation because it will not proceed if a system does not meet the said requirements above in the first solution.
The problem there is with the source. If you are installing Windows Vista on a newly formatted computer or hard drive, check your source. If you are installing from a Windows setup DVD, check both the optical drive and the disc itself. Eject the disc from the optical drive then check the surface of the disc. In this case, try cleaning the surface.
Get a soft clean lint-free cloth or a microfiber towel and gently wipe the surface of the disc. After this, try installing again and see if it works. Use a lens cleaner like this one from Amazon: Endust for Electronics. My question is if we can use Boot. WIM file is working and I can download. Will wait for your reply. Thank you. No, you cannot mix the files between bit and bit versions. Try the alternative link if you get file not found, it may take a few goes but comes in eventually.
Thank you for your quick reply, greatly appreciated. I have been trying for about 4 hours now and it is keep coming in as file not found. For some reasons there is no alternative link to Boot. WIM file or I might not be looking it right. The alternate link for install. Does anyone know what is wrong and where else can I download this files? Thank you very much! We will have a think about uploading the files ourselves as the Microsoft official sources are so unreliable.
Is there an issue with Digital River? The log on the download manager says that it keeps trying to connect and does so successfully but then says unknown network error and tries again. Any help would be appreciated. I note that the download links no longer seem to work — is there an issue with the files?
Thanks for that. Hello to all! This would also pertain to all those others out there with the same situation I have regardless of which operating system they have XP, Vista, 7, etc desktop or laptop.
Hi Ed and thanks for your words. Home Premium. Hello and Thankyou so much for clarifying my concerns and the super fast response after posting here on your site…Exactly the answer I was looking for!!! For example, on my HP laptop that has an XP operating system? Had been contemplating for some time now about formatting the laptop hard drive, upgrading to a clean OS installation and passing it onto my daughter s for homework and such instead of purchasing a new laptop.
So can you do it and would it work? Most Certainly. Is it legit? Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advise. Thanks again, Tim. Thanks for all the work you put into this tutorial. Microsoft was tinkering with the download service Digital River as opposed to the actual files themselves. I burned the disk successfully. From vista disk, ran setup. Any ideas? I can always come back and install linux later if I want it badly enough.
Would just like to get vista running at some level. Thanks for the reply. That worked. Hashes matched perfectly. Did a clean install from the iso disk. At the risk of going to the well too often…. Tried reinstalling drivers for all devices, no soap. I downloaded vista sp2 on another computer, carried it to my laptop and it installed successfully.
Thanks, Tim. That just means the drivers for your computer are not present on the Vista install disk, they might get picked up when you check for updates. Use 3DPNet 3dpchip. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Any help would be so much appreciated! Wim and Install. Should I try a USB drive instead? Verify that the installation source is valid, and restart the installation. Can I give any product key compatible?
You need to enter a valid Vista key from your computer sticker. Thank you!! Was able to install hard drive and load Vista 32!! Very good instructions! Off to do the Service pack 2 now!
You could always try extracting the WIM with an archiver like 7-Zip and see if it unpacks successfully. In regards to imgburn — if you download it from Ninite. I use that site almost daily. That article has 10 tools which can help you install Vista from USB. Thanx for the info. Gotta find a better way than imgburn. What a crummy program and website.
I ended up downloading from CNET but had to do a custom install all the way or it wanted to keep loading junk programs. I feel sorry for the person who just did a regular install and ended up with all kinds of junk programs on their PC. Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow guide!! It just saved a laptop that was refusing to boot even from the original recovery disks I made, and shutting itself off in protest. Sadly Microsoft keep playing around with their files on Digital River, they keep coming and going and are there one minute, gone the next, back again the next.
I can only suggest anyone looking to get these files to keep trying. Microsoft really needs to get it together. My hard drive died and old PATA drive. I originally upgraded from 98 to XP to Vista to Win7.
Unfortunately, the only original non-upgrade I have is 98SE. Seems like MS wants to force me to do it the illegal way. Really Really frustrating!!! Go to bios, switch from ide to raid, might be couple more settings to play with. Should get you rolling. Does anyone have the checksum value for the 64 bit ISO one that works, of course? Checksum — yes Verify burn — yes Start with all new downloads each time — yes Do all the steps as provided in the post — yes Do everything the same way as the successful 32 bit disk I created — yes.
Tried downloading the install. I had to download the Install. You rock! March — I just purchased a 2nd hand HP Elitebook p via Ebay to simply use as a monitor for a solar system. Advertised that Vista Business was the operating system.
Luckily OEM label was intact on the bottom. Took me pretty much the entire day to find your blog, however, it was worth it.
Created 64 bit install disk that did the business as promised. I now have a functional, although dated lap top as opposed to a paper weight. Cheers, Brett.
Thanks for the site. Had a customer with a damaged HP laptop HD. I just copied the expanded install files over the network to the laptop. Thanks again. Im sure I will use this again in the future. An excellent guide. Worked fine. Thank you so much for that. It got me out of a bind.
The recovery partition on my clients laptop was corrupted and we had no OEM Vista discs. Had license key issues with the retail copy I had. This did the trick. Thanks again! I bought an Acer laptop years ago, being a Linux user I brought it home and promptly wiped out Vista and installed Xubuntu on it. I feel sorry for him giving him Vista, but he has a fresh copy installed. The instructions worked under wine quite nicely.
Thanks for this guide…! For that, you will need an actual Windows Vista DVD that contains the Windows Recovery Environment; without the tools contained in the Windows Recovery Environment, you cannot repair your current installation.
At this point, insert a blank CD into your CD burner. When you see the AutoPlay dialog box, just close it. Now that you've created your Windows Recovery CD, test it to make sure that it will work in the event you need it one day. To do so, restart your computer with the CD in the drive.
