Depending on the disk you had, a lot package the relevant drivers for that make of machine. E.g. My dell came with a vista disk but it wouldn't work in an acer due to driver issues and vice versa.

So i have two disks here but neither are likely to work.

I would be very surprised if you could just download one from microsoft

If you have a product serial code then you shouldnt have a problem getting a new cd through contacting microsoft - I am sure they have a help section for damaged / lost cds
if you are like me you probably want it yesterday and cant wait - but i think you may have to - hope you get sorted soon x

Cheers! Ive had a good look through and it still seems ya have to pay, and im sorry but think microsoft make enough money without charging for the disc!! Im maken a stand against mcrosoft and refusing to pay what there asken!! Im sure the money they lose from me not buying the software will bring microsoft to there knees (OR NOT!!)

If you still have the receipt Microsoft should be able to provide you with a replacement Vista dvd. Contact them on 0870 601 0100. Go through the automated phone system following home user prompts then products and replacement discs. There will probably be a charge for postage.

Just a thought, this stand you are going to make. Don't start with writing them a letter. Not until you can spell anyway.

theres quite a few versions of vista and your key will only work with the version it is meant for

is your key for vista hom , vista ultimate and so on , is it 32bit or 64 bit version

you could be downloading a hell of a lot of gigabytes before you finaly find one your key works with lol
