  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:

  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 on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• I have my product key, but what version I am license for? -Want to re - install

  Hello.  I have a valid 25-character product key for Windows Vista - but do not know what version.
  I want to reinstall a laptop but the license under the laptop sticker is very 'dirty' I can only see the product key of 25 characters and the words "Windows Vista XXXX" but do not know if his home, business or Ultimate.

  Is there a site Web/link that I can put my product key, then they can tell me what version I am licensed?
  P.S. Someone formatted the laptop to test to try Windows 7, it's why I don't know what version I am licensed.

  Kind regards

  There is no website to check.

  This Turorial tells you what to do; Simply type the product key.
  All versions of vista are on the good MS Vista DVD.
  The product key determines what is installed.
  Read the info here to the elder Geek:

  Type your product key in the installation.

  	Once more, it's time for the product key and activation talk. Unlike XP and previous offers of Windows that stopped dead if you do not have a product key, it is no longer the case with Vista. You are not required to enter a key at this stage, although there are a few caveats set out on the potential of data loss if you choose not to enter the key. There is also a checkbox to select or not Vista will be automatically activated.
  	If you have chosen not to enter the product key in the previous step, this screen will appear asking you to confirm that you do not want to enter the key. The same warning of potential data loss is present and an additional warning was added that you may need to purchase another edition of Vista if you continue without entering the key. Press [Yes] to return to the screen where the key can be entered. Select [No] will take you to the screen below.
  	Refusing to enter the product key in the previous step brings you here where you need to select the edition of Windows that you purchased. The warning says clearly that if you select a version, you do not have a key, you must either purchase this version or reinstall Vista and select the appropriate version. This screen is a two-step process; Select the appropriate version and certifying then you have selected the version of Vista by using the checkbox. Once these two items are completed, the [next] button is activated.

• How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

  I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

  Hi again,

  You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

  As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

  The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

  I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

  The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

  When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

  Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

  See you soon.
