Microsoft recommends you install a download manager. You should be able to use a Windows 7 Product Key from the label on the bottom of the computer with no issues. The installation will ask you for a Windows 7 Product Key.
The only exception would be if the Product Key were in use on a different computer. From my understanding, as long as it is not already in use, it should activate. What I am saying is that there is a text file in the iso to make the windows 7 installer only accept a retail key, if I open the text file oe. I have not changed anything else just the line where it says retail I changed it to oem so the istaller will accept my oem key from the bottom sticker on my laptop.

If you are still returning here to read some 7 or more months later I have to tell you that I have now successfully got the 6 files from the archive and all the SHA1 hashes matched correctly.
So I did not share your bad experience, sorry to say it was just you. Although the largest file was going to take me 21 hours on my first attempt, I obviously could not wait that length of time so cancelled it and restarted it afresh on another day, it then came through in about 30 minutes instead! Clearly download times from the archive are erratic and can vary quite dramatically and may be ridiculously slow on occassion.
All I can suggest is to persist, persist, persist! Also, do consult Google, it appears that it is possible to resume downloads coming from the archive. While I wish I could help you out and send you the files you need on DVD-R, it is not possible to safely swap our details in this public forum.
Best wishes and good luck! Thanks so much for your well-organized and detailed instructions! God bless, and many happy returns of the holiday season to you and yours. I have followed your tutorial and successfully created the ISO file. Now using Imgburn even with speed of 4x or 6x I am not able to write.
It says at the end that verify failed as there is mismatch and my DVD remains blank. What should i do? The install. The size is KB is the size of the downloaded install. The size does not match with the one given by you. Please guide. When you create the ISO file, how big is it and does it contain all the files from the Vista folder?
If the size is correct at around 2. A mismatch is a problem with the burn and not the files you are trying to burn, try at the slowest speed. Secondly, the size of the Install. So the Install. Please tell me what should be the storage capacity of the usb drive or DVD. Is that sufficient? Vista bit will be about 3. Either easily fits on a blank DVD. I can not thank you enough! Great tutorial. Saved my old PC!! Recovery disks were starting the 3rd day of reinstalling.
I thought that was the end. You have to download the 3 files exe file, boot. When I download the install. Do you have a new link? I will try and download everything again. Thankfully, I found your tutorial.
Other than initially downloading the very large 3gb install. Next I tried to make the files bootable. So, I attempted the USB installation. Thanks again for the tutorial! Many thanks! 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?
