Vista reinstallation CD

I have a Gateway laptop that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. I was trying to reformat it, and well, I'm a dummy, and accidentally used an XP Reinstallation CD, which I don't have a product key for. I can't seem to get a Vista CD from Microsoft or Gateway. I don't know what to do at this point. Any suggestions? =\

Re: Vista reinstallation CD

there should be a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. or maybe in the battery compartment.

I have a key for Vista but no Vista CD. I have a CD for XP but no key.

This link may allow you to purchase recovery discs from Gateway.
