  I do not speak for Microsoft. However, I saw many times when working with clients in your situation with regard to the reactivation of windows because of the failure of a component. They are not, however, responsible for providing you with a windows disc that should be provided by your computer manufacturer. However, if I were you, I would ask to borrow a disc of windows of a friend or a neighbour then contact Microsoft for activation, making sure to explain the circumstances surrounding the re-setup.

  In general,.
  If you are using a desktop computer, the product key is somewhere in the back.
  If you are using a portable computer, the product key is down.

  The product key is a combination of 25 alphanumeric characters divided in 5 sets. Each game has a combination of letters and 5 numbers. All 5 games are 'linked' by dashes (-).

  do you think really that the windows team should deal with this issue, but hey ho only paid more than 600 books for her (sarcastic) should probably have to have an apple I'm sure that they don't block you on a product you have the money paid for!

  and then said to beg the assistance community (much hope you get paid for it btw)

  Sorry to be wasting your time really don't know why Microsoft cannot give me a new code or just to validate ive got. Thank you for your time and effort finally someone is willing to help.

  don't know how to take this answer seems a bit sarcastic to me.

  I had to take it to a repair shop, and the license was upgraded to windows 7.

  the guy said, very probably, it was due to an update so Microsoft computer continues Microsoft's monopoly people mess up or slow it down systems then offer an upgrade at a cost.

  its not like apple alone there have admitted doing this with here I phones

  It's not sarcasm; What are the rules of licensing.

  Hello

  If Vista was preinstalled on your computer, read this information:

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need 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.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  It may still be there after installation of XP

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
