My computer is an emachine T5086. It has Windows Vista Home Premium and when the drivers are loading they stop loading at 'windows32/drivers/crcdisk/sys'. I am not sure what this means. Then, the computer restarts and asks me to install my windows installation disk to make repairs. F8 on reboot is not an available option.

I do not have a repair option when I manually turn on the computer and hold down the F8 key. I do not have a windows disc or recovery disc and I cannot get to where I can find a restore point either. How do I make a bootable Vista Home Premium 32-bit windows installation disk? I have my product key.

Or where can I obtain one? Hi, There are various methods to reinstall Vista. There is no Windows Vista download available from Microsoft. You can contact your Computer Manufacturer, eMachines, and ask them to send you a set of Recovery Disks. They should do that for a small cost.

To reinstall Vista using their Recovery Disk/s, you Boot from the 1st Recovery Disk they supply and follow the Manufacturer's instructions to reinstall: You will have to change the Boot Order to make the DVD/CD Drive 1st in the Boot Order: How to change the Boot Order in BIOS: 'How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs, and replace product manuals' And if you never received a Recovery Disk when you purchased your Computer there should be a Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive to reinstall Vista back to how you bought your Computer. The Recovery process can be started by pressing a particular Key or Keys combination at Boot. (Power On / Startup) It may be F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc depending on the Manufacturer. Ask them for the correct Key sequence. Some manufacturers no longer have Vista Recovery Disks available. If that happens, you may have to try this instead: You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, that contains the files for the various Vista Editions (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) to be installed. The Product Key on your Computer / Laptop case determines which Edition is installed.

Other Manufacturers' Recovery DVDs are not to be used for the above purpose.
