Old Acer Aspire 7720Z PC. Vista Home premium SP2.
HDD became corrupted and could not get past the system recovery. Following various tutorials have imaged and used some recovery programs booting with Rufus and generally played around with it but no joy on the overall operating system or Office 2007. Personal files were all backed up elsewhere so not an issue for them. HDD is currently in a USB enclosure.
Looking to potentially upgrade components on the laptop and move to Win 7 but would like to get Vista back and working first. I have the Product part no., Product ID and CD key - but no CD......
If I format the original disc can someone suggest how I could get Vista back on the machine?
Thanks
