Hi Have a Inspiron laptop running Windows Vista that the hard drive is flaging up bad clusters on when ever I do a scan, at the moment the system still seems to work fine but I am concerend the hard drive is on its way out so want to replace.

Have backed up all my document etc to be safe however I have a couple of problems. I actually prefer to use Macrium Reflect Free on both my HP Vista SP2 and Dell Win 10 laptops for creating full disk images and bootable emergency media in case I ever need to perform an emergency recovery, so I don't actually need the recovery software provided by HP and Dell.

I won't need those apps anymore, as now I have activated with a different phone.. Also I forgot what I was doing at this point.

Glad to hear you were able to re-activate your clean reinstall of Vista using the slui. Was you original question about the missing " Repair Your Computer " option in your F8 advanced boot menu ever answered? Otherwise, you will need to use the System Recovery Options from your retail Vista installation disk ". You never told us why you want to use that "Repair Your Computer" option to reset your computer back to factory condition now that you've already performed a clean reinstall of your Vista OS, but if you aren't seeing that "Repair Your Computer" option in your F8 advanced boot menu now that you've re-activated your Vista installation then my best guess is that it either wasn't there in the first place or that it was removed when you reinstalled Vista.

As mentioned earlier on, Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft, and you will not be protected by new security exploits. Plus many newer programs or newer versions of existing programs will not run on Vista. At this point, I wouldn't recommend a machine with Windows 10 unless you're certain it can be officially upgraded to Windows Otherwise, you'll be in the same boat again when Microsoft ends Windows 10 support in For recovery discs, you can try but I doubt that they will do this anymore, but back in , I was able to obtain a set of recovery discs via Dell's online chat support for free for a Dimension that I picked up cheap at a thrift store.

I tried a second time for another system Optiplex L I believe some few years later and was denied because the system was out of warranty, even though the Dimension was well past it's warranty at the time of the request, so I guess it all depends on which support agent you chat with. Dell did have a request recovery discs page at some point, but I can't remember all the details. I'm not sure with Windows Vista, but with the Windows XP Dell recovery discs, they were essentially a modified OEM version that installed the same way as a retail copy, with all the packaged software being on separate discs.

As long as a Dell system was detected during installation, Windows would automatically activate If the Vista recovery discs work the same way as well, you can give it a try if you come across one for next to nothing.

Make sure it's the same edition as the one originally shipped with the system, or else activation may fail. Browse Community. Turn on suggestions. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Showing results for. Search instead for.
