Problems with Vista Ultimate installation.

Hello guys,
I've got an old Asus Lamborghini VX2 laptop which came with Windows Vista Ultimate ENG from the factory. The thing is that I've decided to replace my old HDD (160GB/5400rpm) with a new HDD (750GB/7200rpm). I have replaced the old one with the new one and tried runing Asus Recovery DVD only to realize that at the very end of installation it shows something like "Unable to configure Windows Setup with current hardware" ..... I guess Asus Recovery DVD works only with original HDD + I've heard that there is somewhere "recovery" file that ties to this Recovery DVD.

Anyways, all I need is to download a Windows Vista Ultimate ENG and type in my license number during the installation. My license number I have on the sticker on my laptop. I've tried to search everywhere, but Microsoft doesn't seem to offer this kind of service and I am simply unable to download Windows Vista Ultimate ENG.

Therefore I came here to ask you for some help guys. Unfortunately I don't have anyone in my area with Vista Installation CD nor can I simultaneously access both (new and old) HDD to copy files between them. Only available solution for me is burning operating system on a DVD and installing it from BIOS.

Does someone have an idea on how to do this? I am kind of upset that I can't use my new HDD. Thanks to everyone!

Welcome, I understand your problem and I have two solutions. Call the manufacturer of your computer. They should send you for cost ($25.00) a DVD that you can use to install

What is the other solution? Really don't feel like spending any more money on something that I already payed for.

Sorry, the second solution was to use the restoration partition, but then I realized there is a new hard drive so its gone.
