Getting a new Vista upgrade disc

Had trouble upgrading to Vista from XP on my ACER laptop. The upgrade gets
to the final bit and then Windows will not start so I went back to XP.

After a few exchanges of emails I was phoned by ACER today and they suggest
that there may be a fault on the disc.

They have suggested I phone moduslink who provided the disc and they will
send a replacement. I suspect that there is little chance this will happen.

What do the people here think. I would have phoned them today but haven't
had time.

To be honest I like XP so might stick with it for a while but at some point
I will upgrade so want a disk that'll work???

Tim;
Moduslink is only the distributer.
You can try them, but I doubt they can help.

Your windows Vista is OEM, so Microsoft probably can not help.

Try Acer again since the Vista Upgrade is actually from them.
