Honestly it wasn't that dumb except for trying to use the HP install disk, you do know that they use custom versions of windows to fit their components right?

[/quote] It wasn't the HP install disc. Hell, it wasn't even an install disk at all, as I said earlier HP (and other computer companies) don't include installation discs of vista on computers with vista pre-installed. It was a recovery disc Microsoft provides for free on the internet that includes a repair option.

It didn't work.

The reason they don't provide discs any more is because they provide the software needed to generate your own if you do it from a fresh laptop. You're fucked otherwise, gotta download all the drivers from scratch.

Regardless, I've been wanting Win7 Ultimate for a while now anyways.
