Restore from Windows Vista Home Pre x86 to x64
Hi,
You can't repair an x64 installation with an x86 disk. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "libetter" wrote in message ...

Restore from Windows Vista Home Pre x86 to x64
You are saying that you originally had 64 bit but you tried to redo with a
32 bit version of Vista? If you did a clean install with the 32 bit version the 64 bit version is now gone. You will need the 64 bit version of Vista to get back where you were. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "libetter" wrote in message ...

No. You will have to do a clean install using a 64 bit operating system DVD.

Restore from Windows Vista Home Pre x86 to x64
Thank you for reading and answering my question. I'm using a Vaio laptop, and this is the first time I use. So, I don't know how to restore. Now, the problem has been solved. Thanks again. To restore, I use Sony Recovery Center which I think it won't work in x86 environment. -- libetter

This will restore 64 bit over 32 bit? I learned something new today. (-:

Restore from Windows Vista Home Pre x86 to x64
No reason it shouldn't. The process replaces the the 64-bit folders and
repairs the boot sector to match. The disk file system would not need to be changed. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Richard Urban" wrote in message ...
