BlinX Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Vista expired last night and now, i cant logon. I have my sp2 recovery disks or os disks, but that doesnt help. I dont know what to do since i cant logon and only go into safe mode (i think). Any help on how do I delete Windows vista or a way i can logon?

-hurley18 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 If you dont have important information just reformat, another thing that came up to my mind its install xp on another partition and see if you can recover your files by going to documents and settings on local disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-hurley18 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Got the windows xp cd? just insert the cd and your pc should boot from the cd, then follow instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinX Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 I dont think 1 came with my Windows XP..... :(. I tried all CDS i have that came, and none of them boot from startup. Do you know if the 10 cds for Windows XP sp2 would work on windows vista? I tried inserting disc 1 but it didnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-hurley18 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 .....can you take a pic to see what are the 10 cds for? cause Windows XP its only one cd. if you dont have windows xp you can do 2 things: 1. Buy it 2. Download it ilegaly, or i think you can download it and use the cd key that came with your pc (that would be legal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinX Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 The 10cds are for re-installing the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightRider Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Do you have a recovery disk? If so, use it. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
