Hi to everyone.
yes I am new here and I've run into a bit of trouble with the recevory download.
I've download the 32 - bit version because I am pretty sure that is what I have. I followed the directs on making a iso image disc (dvd) and everything works fine until I go to install, it seems to be missing INSTALL.WIM.
what I am trying to do is bring my laptop back to vista. it crashed about 6 monthhs ago and I have tried everything to bring it back up and running . I tried the manufacturer and they were no help as my warranty had ran out some time ago. My system is a Mirus, if anyone is familiar with that. So I succumbed and downgraded to xp pro...which works for the most part but it doesn't recognize certain "vista only" hardwear (ie wireless net card) which seems weird to me. I found my old drivers for the laptop but the ones for the wireless card don't seem to gel with xp. so now, I am here trying to figure out how to bring my laptop back to vista.
Can I do a clean install with this recovery disc?
am I doing something I don't see?
just any help would be awesome.
thanks.
