| | Where is the recovery enviroment in Vista Business Downloaded Vista Business Upgrade from Microsoft and a week later my hard drive is starting to fail with bad blocks, but files are still intact I have a new hard drive installed and want to perform a complete restore of the computer, so I did a complete backup of the computer. I restarted the computer pressed F8 and on the options there is no computer recovery options. |

| | Re: Where is the recovery enviroment in Vista Business I agree with Mike, it's the cheap way to buy a system. There is a 'best cheap path' but it's not 'bottom of the line'. You get a system with the 'complete PC Backup' option, (I think this is Home Premium or better, but maybe it's Business or better, I don't know that yet). You add a second hard drive or less good, a burner and about 25 disks. You get a 1 gig or better flash drive, if the system will boot to flash. Download the image of the recovery disk, and burn it, or drag the open image onto the flash drive. (A virtual CD will do this) Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download - The NeoSmart Files: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/window...disc-download/ Virtual CD drive download: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...olpanel_21.exe -- Was this helpful?
