1. Yay!!!

2. Well i saved the torrent earlier and was going to start downloading later, and when i did, there were no seeders.

3. There are currently 40 seeds for the x64 image (and 260 for the x86 one), are you sure your downloader is contacting the tracker fine?

4. Well, turns out it wasnt. I removed that torrent and downloaded it again and it seems to be working now. Thx.

5. I hope this will work with SP1.

6. Don’t worry, it was created from and with Vista SP1 in mind.

7. That is great, Mahmoud! Thanks for the information.

8. Will this disk work on ia64 as well, or just x64?

9. We don’t have an IA64 server to test it on 😉

10. Oh thats ok. I dont have an x64 or ia64 machine. I havent been able to test any of the 64-bit stuff. I dont even know if mine works. :-\

11. Hello Guys,

    Sorry but I was following the whole issue since the beginning and I did and still have some issues on my desktop which runs on Vista Ultimate, I downloaded the first Image posted, then followed up till in here and downloaded the x86 Image and burned for more than once, using once alcohol120% then Imgburn.
    In both cases the image didn’t work, it does load fine, then the normal message of Drive:/Sources/Install.Wim. The file does not exist. Error code 0x80070002

    I thank you for the great effort though even though I wasn’t benefited, but still I am sure a lot others may not have the same problem.

12. i need a solution for the error 0x0000C1F5
    HEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEE PLEASE

13. I can’t download torrent at my place is there any other way to download the Windows Vista Recovery Disc x64 Edition? please help..

14. I just wanted to give you guys a big thanks for making this tool available, it saved the day for me (or should I say long, long night 😉 I will be sure to keep both x86 and x64 versions in my toolkit, thanks again!

15. I’m glad to hear the recovery disc has come in handy… Needless to say, it’d be much appreciated if people would continue to seed the torrent once they’ve downloaded it for themselves.

16. Thank you; I can finally fix my laptop, hp in its infinite wisdom sold me a x64 vista ultimate machine but crippled the RE with their own customizations (which I could have dealt with if hp’s own system recovery disc worked but it doesn?t).

17. as much as torrents annoy the heck out of me, this seems like my only choice.

    openSUSE screwed with my Vista partition, so i’m pretty much out of luck until this is done downloading.

    thanks a bunch!

18. Followed all the instructions, and now I have two nice little files on my disk, one is 20KB, the other is 12KB size. Both showed that the entire file downloaded. What am I doing wrong???

19. Read the article carefully – it explains what to do.

20. Thanks for the response. I transferred the file to Win XP and burned it flawlessly. Not sure why it didn’t burn with Vista.

21. I download recovery disk and writed it on cd. Vista shows that it starts to boot but it ends with Windows Error Recovery. Selecting “Start Windows Normally” makes computer restart and selecting “Launch Startup Repair” gives me blue screen.

    I appreciate any help.

22. Artti, is your system set to boot off the CD drive?

23. Yes it is. It shows: booting from CD.

24. Wow… this is such excellent work. It worked great on my Vista x64 SP1 dual booting with XP. I installed XP after Vista, but for some reason couldn’t run EasyBCD on my XP install, though I was able to use it from within Vistax64. Another person couldn’t run it on his XP either, I wonder if it has anything to do with having OS’s installed on separate hard drives? Anyway, this worked very well as well, just repaired the Vista boot and automatically it also recognized the XP install, giving me the option to boot either one.

    Truly great work here at Neosmart.net! Providing us with repair iso’s for both x86 and x64 is truly a gift. Thank you!

25. your links to downloads do not work???

26. Your ISP (are you in a university or at work?) is most likely blocking access to non-standard ports.

    Try this mirror:
    x64 torrent
    x86 torrent

27. Thanks beyond thanks. HP Support told me there was no option but to restore factory settings and lose all my data (work product and hundreds of pictures of my first child). I followed the instructions you provided and now my laptop is back in business. I’ve since backed up all my files to an external drive.

    Your solution saved my family so much. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

28. Hi D/L this and burned ok to disk the only thing i would like to know before i go ahead and use it is this: im having trouble with vista updates with error message saying that”WINDOWS COULD NOT SEARCH FOR NEW UPDATES” with this error no:80070424, im guessing no one would actually know but will this solve my problem or not???? has everything els is running fine?????

29. Will this work for VISTA 32 bit as well? I bought a laptop with VISTA Home Premium 32 bit and would like to download a backup disk. Thanks.

30. I downloaded x64 recovery disk but it doesn’t seem to be an ISO file. ImgBurn doesn’t recognize it as an image file and therefore I cannot burn it to a CD. I don’t know what to other then try to download the x84 version and see what happens.

31. hey guys i was wondering where is the 32 bit i cant find it anywhere

32. Onixie, for 32 bit you’ll need the x86 version i think.

    Colin, the file you are downloading is a torrent. You need a program (like Bittorent) to use that torrent to get the ISO file, then burn the ISO.

33. I downloaded, and burned the img file for Vista x86 But I get the Error Code: 0x80070002 and cannot read from e:\source\install.wim WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I really need my laptop to work asap!

34. This is probably a silly question but my Vista is 32bit so what file do i download.

35. John you will need the x86 version, also an Bittorrent client like Bitlord hope that helps

36. thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much,i just pretty much downloaded a virus on my brothers laptop (vista) and it poped up the blue screen of death every time it booted up allowing me to do nothing, right now its in the stages of finallizing and if it works i will LOVE YOU 4EVER TO DEATH (seriously) thanks so much now i can finally go to sleep.

37. THANKS!!! 50% av vista services couldnt start after a reboot. It has been running for three weeks without a restart.. I started my computer in failsafe, with no success, i couldnt get restore to work cause services that resore depend on didnt start… I was nervous that it wouldnt work with the resotore cd either, but it did… three hours later. Thank you!

38. i dont know what this is for? correct me if im wrong, i bought a hp pc that originally came with xp but upgraded to vista now i cant recovery back to xp using f10, so if i download and use this it will fix it and i can do pc recovery using normal methods(f10) upon boot?

39. Just wanted to say thank you very much for putting this out!

    I have an HP Media Center with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and just like the previous HP machine I had owned, it didn’t come with the recovery discs. On top of that, I had gotten this as open box and the guy at Frys didn’t mention that the previous owner had made recovery discs from the disc creation interface. I didn’t find that out until I tried to make one and I got the message saying that I can’t do it because HP only allows ONE set to be created. So then I checked with HP and they want 17 bucks for the disc.

    Being as I’m not a huge fan of paying for something that is SUPPOSED to be included with the stuff I buy, I kept looking around for it and I stumbled across this site, downloaded the torrent, tried it out, it works great and everything is just dandy.

    Now, I can get rid of that partition which isn’t a problem yet, but it’s a gig and a third away from being full so I figure instead of dealing with it, I’ll just go ahead and say goodbye to it so that I may have 10 free gigs lol

    So, thanks again! And I will spread the word to my fellow Vista users who have also been cheated of their recovery discs!

40. hhheeeyyyyyyy PPPLLLEEEAASSEEE

    this happend when im installing the windows vista from that cd..I get the Error Code: 0x80070002 and cannot read from e:\sources\install.wim

    pleas letme know what can i do..please

41. MD5 for x64 download??

    In this comment for the x86 Repair disk for published it’s MD5.

    Are you able to publish the MD5 for the x64 repair disk, or do you already have those on-line and I’ve just missed it?

42. If you download it via bittorrent, you don’t need to check the MD5 – bittorrent does hash checking by itself, automatically.

43. Being security minded, I tend to use EFS to encrypt my personal files in windows…

    I’m running dual-boot with Debian Linux Etch and Vista Ultimate x64. Somehow I managed to delete my c:\boot directory and faced the \boot\BCD 0xc000000f error message of death.

    To make things worse, the HP recovery DVD’s had been put in ‘a safe place’. So safe, that I have no bloody idea where the hell they are…

    Downloaded your magical x64 recovery CD and gave it a whirl. It worked like a charm!

    My life is now worth living again, Thanks! :]

    *clicks the ‘donate’ button*

44. I’m having trouble downloading the file. I was able to get through insturctions 1 to 4 (the instructions above), but the file isn’t downloading.

45. No, it will not work on IA64, aka Itanium.

    Itanium is a 100% different architecture than x86. The two architectures are as different as x86 and PPC.

    There is no IA64 port of Vista. IA64 is essentially a “server only” OS, and the only Windows that supports it are server OSes, such as Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. (There is Linux support.)

    A copy of Windows Server 2003 or 2008 for IA64 will not boot on any x86 system, 32-bit or 64-bit.

46. Hi.. does this recovery work with acer notebook?

47. just wanted to say thank you so much… you guys are lifesavers. i was just about to give up untill i found this site. thanks again! -dave

48. Thanks for the boot cd worked great for me. I used power iso to make the cd.

49. How long is the recovery process supposed to take?

    I’ve got a mouse cursor, but a black screen, after about 10-15 minutes of waiting.

    Should I try again?

50. i had the CTRL (both, left and right) & P (key) not working. And after the fix my keys numbers; 1, 2 and Q, W, S, Z, got them not working at all. Any ideas? does it mean i have to order for a replacement keyboard for my 7 yrs old VAIO? Please advise, i’ll be thankful!
