Ok so lets say i was retarded and lost my vista cd that came with the PC. Two moves..sigh you know the deal, anyway what if i wanted to erase everything off my pc cept for vista, is there a way to do it(beside doing it one by one in the program thingy. Not just programs too, i mean everything. I was to start fresh. Or is there a way to format without getting rid of vista, or whatever. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sigh

Nope. A clean install re-installs everything especially vista. If you have a computer with a pre-installed vista OS, it has a vista licence on the bottom of the computer. If thats the case you can download a vista ISO from many sources.
you really do want to re-install the vista files as well. it will make your system the most efficient it can be

Ok cool, i do have that licence number, now is there a way i can download the vista OS and put it on a cd? That would simplfy things a bit.

dvd yes cd no. its a little too big for cd. Im not exactly sure where ti download it from but just google it and there are hundreds. make sure you get the newest version that is the same as the one you have 32bit, or 64. hopefully with SP1 slipstreamed into it
good luck mate
