Need to re - install Vista on Acer laptop which has Vista pre-installed

I have a laptop Acer 5735 who had a problem, a friend has tried to repair it and makes things worse. My laptop has now no operating system, can I download vista and use the activation key which is located at the back of my laptop. If possible how? Thanks, Karl

Hey taffyboss007

There is no download free legal vista

Contact acer and ask them to send recovery disks

they do it for a nominal cost

https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

and ask them if you have a recovery partition to reinstall vista

you will normally need to press Alt + F10 to start the acer recovery process

Check with acer for the right combination of keys
