Dell factory image?

I need to restore my PC, I can't access the image though. When I try through the boot options by pressing F8 it just sends me to a user login screen called other. I have tried all the user/password with no luck.

Welcome
Try this
Turn off the computer. Then while booting quickly and many times, hit cntrl and F11. Try, at first with your finger always on Cntrl, while rapidly hitting F11.

Tried both, it does nothing.

If you have your Product Key number, usually on the computer, you can give this a try. You will lose your stuff.

ill have the stuff I want backed up, so ill give it a shot.

Just tried to down load the x86 and I get a 403 error.

403 error is probably because of the host website.
Wait for Rich for find another, working link.

okay

I have a number of links. Dont know if they work, anymore or where they go.
Heres another
Microsoft

Those are working but it only give me an option for vista ultimate, Does it matter because when I enter my key it will only unlock certain things.

Your computer is borked, anyway. So give this a try. All downloads are the same the key is what determines what you get. Try to download and put in your key and see what happens.

He will have a lot of updating to do.

Where are the Vista iso with sp2 included?

venom,

Can you boot into your exising Vista at all?

Did it come with SP2 already included, or did you need to install sp2 via windows update?

Yes I can, and I'm downloading now
I installed sp2

OK, you are going to have to install it again, then - the d/l only contains SP1.

Im glad that I have at least an SP1 that I could share.

Okay, I'm kinda wanting a fresh start.

Sorry it takes so much time, but you will be as good as new when we are done.:D

I actually found the vista reinstall disk. I booted up to my CD ROM and it seems to be reinstalling.

LOL, after all of that.
Well that was the best way to go. We all wish you luck. Let us know what happens.
