| 696201 | 2008-08-10 04:35:00 | Welcome to Press F1 - load in your Vista DVD, boot from it, and reinstall it. When you get to the part showing the drives, Click on Drive options ( Advanced) and delete the partition, then follow instructions through- Here is a Graphical (vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com)step by step instruction (s) Regarding your Poll - If its a HP computer you should have made a Recovery DVD - just use that. |

| 696202 | 2008-08-10 04:37:00 | Did you create the recovery discs or do you still have the Vista install disc? If so, follow instructions here (vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com). BUT delete All of the partitions on your HD before installing Vista. You should have created the recovery discs BEFORE you moved to Linux - therefore get them from HP. By FAR the cheapest way. Not free, but the cheapest. The other 2 options are a BIG waste of $. lol same link Wainuitech... |

| 696205 | 2008-08-10 04:59:00 | Why didn't you just dualboot? If you can get the key can you ring MS and ask for a new CD? |
