RE: new hard drive, windows and office discs

Sort through the DVDs and CDs that came with your computer, and read the
manual.

You should have a Recovery partition from which to make VistaRecovery disk,
but NOT Office.

Product Key for Office will be on the sleeve or box that Office came in(if
it did)

Contact your computer manufacturer about them suppling you with vista and
Office disks.
