| | Repairs to Vista I am running Vista Home Premium (64bit) (OEM) and have a few problems which would be solved by re-installing the OS. But having read some of these answers it would seem that I cannot do a repair with the OEM DVD, how then can I get the required software to carry out this operation? Does anyone have any Ideas? Help would be appreciated. |

I'd definately back up your data if you have not done so already... If your present OS is hosed to the point that it will not even boot-up... pull the drive and slave it to another system so that you can do your backup |
