Hello all,
I am in need of re-installing Windows Vista on my laptop. My optical drive stopped working a while back, and a lot of other bugs started happening as well. I contacted HP, (the manufacturer of the laptop I have) and they gave me all the troubleshooting tips I needed, and tried them all. Finally someone just told me to send it in and they would replace the drive since my warranty was still in effect, and I really don't want to send it in. I really need to re-install Vista on my laptop, but have no drive or no CD. What are my options? I would rather have Windows XP, but don't know how I would get it on here either. Any help is appreciated.
