Re: vista re-install
you could always phone them but 99% of the times they will charge you for the disc because when you buy it from a shop or e-tailer your not really paying for the disc, that much but more for the little sticker on the case.
you have 3 options
1. phone and speak to them see if you can get a disc.
2. borrow a disk if you know someone with it.
3. download a copy of the disc of the net as you say you have the code then you should be fine.
obviously if you use either the 2nd or 3rd option you will not get the pre installed software that came with the computer, in the first place unless you have it on disk and also more than likely you will loose the recovery partition, then you can just go to the packard bell website enter the serial number on the driver page and it will let you download all the drivers for it.
