Hi Everyone,

I have limited knowledge on computers but hope someone can help
My hard drive crapped out a few weeks ago so we were told to get a new one which we did but now we have realised that we dont have an installation cd - however we do have the product key.

Is there somewhere I can download a new installation cd off my work computer and then use that with my key to set up windows vista on my home pc again?

Two choices, borrow from a friend or an enemy

or

Call Microsoft and explain and they may send you one for cost plus. I have heard estimates of about $25.00. You can also try the computer mfg or HD mfg.
