#1 Post by WizardNYC » Wed Mar 07, 2007 10:59 pm

Hi,

This the situation,I resently baught a t42 which came with a legit Windows Vista Business install, Is there anyway I can get the Vista DVD and use my legit key to reisntall Vista again, if I was to upgrade the motherboard and want to start from scratch.

PS: The person on ebay that I baught it from says he can't provide me the Vista DVD for what ever reason, but is legit I check it already.

Thanks

The ISO for the DVD is 2.5 GB download, lot of torrent sites have or if u have access to MSDN or Technet then you can get the DVD from there.

You can order a disk from MSFT for 7.00 USD, and then use your key with it.
