Re: vista re-install

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The key is specific to the Packard Bell vista installation, using another
version of Vista probably wont accept the key

hi all
i have tried to re-install the vista operating system on my sons
packard
bell pc using the recovery partition but this has failed
it hangs at the "starting windows for the first please wait" screen we
weren't given a disk so i am downloading a copy and want to activate it
using the proper key that came with the pc but it isn't printed on the
case so i am stuck as to what i can do
the pc was bought from curries christmas 2007 do i have any options
through them or packard bell
thanks for any help

1. Contact Packard Bell for the recovery disk set. This is usually very
inexpensive.

2. If a restore to factory condition doesn't solve the issues, you
probably
have hardware problems. It would depend on which company holds the
warranty
whether you would first go to where you bought it (Curries) or Packard
Bell.
