    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.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • How can I know my product key if I can't read it the sticker on my laptop and can't find it in any document supplied with the laptop?

    I have windows Vista Home Basic and I had a virus my laptop so had to wipe it and re install windows, but now he asks me my product key that I can't read the sticker as he had ripped a little...

    If you reinstall of the manufacturer's recovery disc then it should not ask for a product key.  That said, it is there no trace of the product key printed on the COA sticker on your computer.  Stickers are applied in batches at the factory and no record is made of what product key is associated with a specific machine.  I'm sorry.

    Check with the manufacturer if your computer has a recovery partition.  Who restores Windows to its factory condition.

    This computer was originally a copy of XP on it and I've upgraded to Windows 7 and now it won't let me connect to the internet and I went to check out the menu drivers and the ethernet driver was a yellow triangle next to him. I do not think that HP supports this model specific to windows 7? Any driver (hp or 3rd party) would be welcomed as long as it works, thanks!

    The simplest solution would be to install a PCI network card. They are pretty cheap.
