| | RE: Making a vista copy You cannot do that with vista. Your computer manufacturer should supply the Vista DVD. Contact them. The dvd is necessary to reformat and reinstall Vista.

| | RE: Making a vista copy Some manufactures include a disc to re-install the OS (Dell), other have a program on the computer to create a set of system recovery discs (Lenovo, Sony). What brand did you buy? -- An Engineer asks "How does it work" A Scientists asks "Why does it work?" A liberal arts major asks "Do you want fries with that?"

| | Re: Making a vista copy There should be a 'Create Recovery Disk' program that comes with the OEM PCs, if not you will have contact the Vendor about receiving a Windows Vista DVD for the cost shipping and handling. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "kyle" <kyle@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FB1BDD44-5C0A-4F10-9F72-A60291217CA6@xxxxxx Quote: >I just bought my computer and it came with windows vista premium on it with >a > pre install I am trying to make a copy disc of vista incase i decide to > reformat. |
