Default Windows vista Basic


Hello,

A couple of years ago I bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista basic preinstalled. But they didn't give me a proper Vista Basic OEM install disk, rather they gave me this recovery CD that is 4.7GB and i don;t even know waht it is; so can anyone tell me where to download Vista Basic OEM for Toshiba laptops. i searched it on google and it will only display DELL notebooks. it's perfectly legal because I paid for the Vista licence when I bought the machine.. the COA Sticker is on the back of the laptop. I called TOSHIBA and all they say is just buy a new copy.. I'm a student with not much money.. how can I afford tbhat much? I phoned Microsoft and all they will say is call TOSHIBA which I already did.

If it is aganst the forum rules to display a online link mail me at [email protected]

Thanks

You should never post your Email on any open forum...lest you wish to be exploited by junk email scams and fraud attempts

Toshiba gave you your copy of the Vista home basic edition. It is the supplied restore disc....which was customized for the computer you purchased. It was not designed to be used for any other computer than the currect one as all the drivers/applications and programs are set to auto install. It is highly reccomended that YOU DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS RESTORE DISC on any other computer . Installing the wrong drivers for the hardware included can cause serious damages to a computer

Why do you need to download Vista Basic...You already have it?

You can't just download the operating system and use it. You must have the correct activation license.

If you wish to reinstall the operating system to your laptop...go to the manufacturer's website and download the PDF version of the operations manual. It will give you step by step directions to use the restore disc and how to reinstall the operating system to your laptop.
