Re: Upgrading - what disc qualifies for upgrade version?

In order to upgrade from Windows 2000 or Windows XP,
one of those qualifying operating systems must already be
installed. You begin the upgrade process at the desktop by
inserting the Windows Vista upgrade DVD in the DVD player,
then select upgrade.

Quick question(s).

I already know that the only editions of Windows that qualifies for the
upgrade version is Windows 2000 and XP. What I want to know is do you need
the original Windows discs, or can "Recovery CDs" be used? Also if Windows
is already installed on machine, will this qualify (so no need for an
original CD)?
