I have rarely had the privilege to have such a well written guide that made what would have otherwise been a daunting task a piece of cake. Currently turns on to screen Windows Boot Manager and requests insert installation disk to repair — cause being recent hardware fix has resulted in this I tried to reset to factory default. Also once this is installed, everything on the laptop will be wiped out — no chance of recovery?

If this works I would liketo personally thank you somehow because I have been pulling hair looking for answers and you put it perfectly. I am not able to see the etfsboot. There is an etfsboot file but this appears to be a DOS application. Been searching and realize the etfsboot. I created the disk on my windows 7 64bit machine and I am trying to make a vista 32bit bootable dvd. Following the instructions up to extracting the files does not put the elftsboot.

Hope this explains my problem better. The etfsboot. Ian — I was having a problem with this too. The problem is that when you try to find the file etfsboot. To be able to select etfsboot. HAL I did exactly what you said, I downloaded de 7 zip and extracted it manually and its still not there. Great article! Thanks a lot, sir!

Wish me luck! It would mean tons if you replied! If you are stuck at step 5, when you download the files and double click the exe a folder called Vista will appear at the same location as the 3 files. When you click the browse button in ImgBurn simply look for and select the Vista folder.

Make sure to click the browse for folder button and not the browse for file button. Update: The article has been updated with a guide how to write the Vista files directly out to bootable USB, hope this helps you and others.

I had to install without my product key from underneath my laptop though because it had said the key was invalid. Now my Windows says I must activate in 30 days. How will I activate if my key does not work? I would contact Microsoft, but you need proof of purchase and I actually bought this laptop from someone else with cash and I have no way of getting a hold of them either.

I really appreciated this article. Clear and concise. Best of all you provide the links to the files needed and even run an automatic check on the site for possible malware content etc. Now I can try and recover my Vista system! Thank you so much for this article. This has helped me in two ways, first of all I can get a clean Vista disk to re-install on old computers that I refurbish and give away.

Second, the trick of using the Wayback machine to get software that is no longer offered for download: brilliant! I had to try a couple times to get the Archive to download the complete file. I actually went to archive. After that, I clicked on the link you provided, and it also offered the correct sized download. Windows is worried about the files and not the type of disk you are using. I downloaded the vista 32bit install. Is this normal? Try using a download manager and see if it helps.

Hi, i was wondering if there was a way to create the ISO using just a flash drive? My DVD reader wont read any disk. Yes, there is a link near the bottom of the article for those who want to write the ISO file out to flash drive instead of DVD. Thank you for the great work you have done. It might be foolish to ask but I am downloading Service Pack 1 English bit. I can not install Boot. WIM file it is keep saying file not found.

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. VidCoder 6. Soft4Boost Screen Recorder 7.
